A sequel to one of the most talked-about films of last year, F1 the movie was earlier officially confirmed by producer Jerry Bruckheimer. However, the film is unlikely to return to theaters anytime soon, as Kerry Condon recently revealed. Condon, who starred in the original F1 movie as Kate McKenna, is also expected to return to reprise her role in the sequel, which seems to still be far from the horizon. 

So, being part of the film, she is well aware of the production. But while speaking about the delay, Condon also explained the reason behind it.

The sequel to F1 is currently in development, but Kerry Condon, during her interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan, explained that while progress has been made on the movie, there are still some scheduling conflicts. As she revealed, the delay is because Joseph Kosinski, who directed the first film, has yet to clear his schedule and make time for the sequel. Moreover, Condon also explained that the film must be shot based on the F1 schedule.

"Yeah, I have heard about that, and they all love the script, but I guess it's going to be when Joe, our director, is available, and then also we have to go with the F1 schedule. So it might be a little bit of a wait, but I think that's okay,” she said.

With her final comments, she explained that she understands the reasons behind the delay. While the director’s availability is important, the film also needs to be shot according to the Formula One schedule since the previous movie filmed several scenes at real racing tracks. 

The production also used actual F1 races and locations instead of relying only on CGI. This made the movie feel far more realistic and exciting for audiences. As a result, the first film raised the bar significantly, and there are now even greater expectations surrounding the sequel. After all, the original movie earned $634 million worldwide.
