Jackson revealed the update at the Sitges Film Festival, where he received the 2026 Honorary Grand Prize; casting is not yet known.
Peter Jackson said he and Fran Walsh have written the script for the sequel to The Adventures of Tintin, and that the film will be the next project he directs. The director confirmed the plan while receiving the 2026 Honorary Grand Prize at the Sitges Film Festival, according to comingsoon.net.
Jackson did not share casting or plot details for the sequel.
Steven Spielberg directed the 2011 film The Adventures of Tintin, with Jackson as producer. A planned sequel was originally to adapt the storylines The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun, but the idea was scrapped. Screenwriter Anthony Horowitz later said the Tintin 2 script he wrote had been dropped.
In March 2018, Spielberg said Jackson would soon start work on the script and that the film would take about two years of animation. Two years later, Jamie Bell, who played Tintin in the 2011 film, expressed interest in playing the role again.
