Disney's hit video game-themed animated film "Wreck-It Ralph" is officially returning for a second round. Voice actor John C. Reilly has confirmed the sequel and his return as the titular character at Galway Film Fleadh on Monday.  Meanwhile, franchise director Rich Moore plans to feature some of Nintendo's signature characters like Mario, Luigi, Link and Zelda in the upcoming "Wreck-It Ralph 2".

Even before the first movie made its way to the big screen a few years back, there have already been some rumors regarding a follow-up film for "Wreck-It Ralph". Finally, the long-running talks about this have been confirmed through the Twitter account of producer Penny Hart yesterday. The filmmaker announced the good news, writing "John C Reilly announced at the interview today that he has signed on for Wreck it Ralph 2!"

Comic Book notes that "Wreck-It Ralph" has grossed over $470 million worldwide -$189 million domestically and $281 million internationally -after it premiered last November 2, 2012. Because of this success, the movie has been reined as the "Toy Story with video games." It was also noted by the outlet that though the Mouse House has not exactly given the go signal yet before, director Rich Moore had revealed that they were already brainstorming ideas for the sequel.

Last time around, Moore has stated that the highly anticipated sequel might feature the big-fisted Ralph discovering the worlds of online gaming and console gaming. The director has already expressed his interest in featuring some of Nintendo's signature gaming characters such as Mario, Luigi, Link, and Zelda in the forthcoming sequel. However, there is no confirmation yet whether the said plan will be executed in "Wreck-It Ralph 2".

Meanwhile, Reilly is the only confirmed original cast to reprise his role in the second chapter of Ralph's adventures. Original co-stars Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer and Jane Lynch's return to the franchise is yet to be determined.

"Wreck-It Ralph 2" does not have a specific place on the Disney schedule yet. For the meantime, the studio's animation slate only includes upcoming films "Zootopia", "Moana", "Giants" and "Frozen 2".
