Everything We Know About Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2

The reception of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers coupled with the director's willingness to return to the property makes a sequel seem likely.

With the successful release of Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers on Disney+, the question of whether Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 will be made is already being discussed – here’s what we know. The film has garnered positive reviews from critics and fans alike, with many praising its humor and the performances of its leads. While it’s almost certain a sequel will be made, there are several questions in the air.

First announced in 2014, Rescue Rangers went five years with little to no updates, until Akiva Schaffer—best known as part of The Lonely Island—was made director in 2019. From 2019 to 2020, the film’s script underwent rewrites and many original cast members from the series were confirmed as returning, with its two leads announced in December of 2020. Filming for the production began in March of 2021.

Rescue Rangers was ultimately released in May of 2022 on Disney+. Its meta-commentary, self-awareness, and all-star cameos have been well-received, with the film boasting consistently high ratings across multiple review sites. With its success, the possibility of Rescue Rangers 2 feels likely.

Will Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 Happen?

Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 hasn’t yet been confirmed. Given the Rescue Rangers‘ success and good reviews, a sequel seems probable, but Disney has not yet announced any specifics. According to an interview with Collider, Director Akiva Schaffer says that he’s open to a sequel, though he’s not sure what it would entail.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 Cast – Who Could Return?

Corey Burton and Tress MacNeille reprised their roles from the original series in Rescue Rangers and it’s likely that they’d be willing to do so again. Given Akiva Schaffer’s willingness to return, the success of Rescue Rangers, and his working history with Samberg, it’s possible at least one of the two leads would return, if not both.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 Story – What The First Movie Sets Up

The first film acts as a spiritual successor to Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (complete with being a detective story about missing toons), but its sequel may have to diverge from that formula in order to feel fresh. Rescue Rangers shows Dale’s obsession with a possible reboot of his and Dale’s hit series. The end of the film reunites the full cast for the first time in years and it feels likely that a sequel would focus on rebooting their TV show and any potential complications that might go along with that. Chip even says that he might be open to a reboot—so long as he sees a script first. The villains of Rescue Rangers are tidily captured by the end of the film, but Sweet Pete (Will Arnett) is still suffering from the fallout of his encounter with the chipmunks and could go out of his way to seek revenge.

Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 Release Date Prediction

While the Rescue Rangers cast and crew might be willing to return for a sequel, it’s still early to call out any specific timeline for Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2. From the announcement of Schaffer as director in 2019, Rescue Rangers took about three-and-a-half years to reach its audience. Because the sequel already has a potential cast and the director is willing to come back, that timeline might well be accelerated. Even so, with no script in sight, it could be years before any solid dates are given.
