According to Showbiz, the story was inspired by the Ernest Cline novel, Ready Player One, which was released in 2018. The synopsis of the film reads
“In the year 2045, the real world is a harsh place. The only time Wade Watts truly feels alive is when he escapes to the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days.”
“In the OASIS, you can go anywhere, do anything, and be anyone, the only limits are your imagination,”
read the synopsis.
According to Showbiz 411, the news concerning the sequel development first broke in 2020 and most recently, a massive step has been enforced toward production as Steven Spielberg has confirmed Ready Player Two is now in development and it will star the returning Tye Sheridan as Wade/Parzival.
Story details on Ready Player Two have not been revealed at the time of writing, but full production is expected to begin in 2025. The audience expects that Steven Spielberg will once again direct and co-produce the sequel.
Due to full production potentially not happening until 2025, it is safe to predict that the release across cinemas is two or three years away.
