At the time of writing (December 21), the film is available to buy or rent on Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video and Sky.
Is a sequel in the works?
Although the sequel has not been officially announced yet, it is practically inevitable due to the film's success.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June, Pratt teased that news about the sequel had been delayed due to Hollywood strikes. “We're in the middle of a writers' strike, so everything has been put on hold for the right reasons,” he said.
“I really support the WGA and our writers. When the negotiations are over and the writers feel comfortable moving forward, it will be time to start talking about what's next for it.”
The Hollywood screenwriters' strike ended in September, while the actors' strike ended in November.
However, Nintendo's next confirmed film project is an adaptation of The Legend of Zelda from director Wes Ball (The Maze Runner).
