Greenland 3 chances receive a tantalizing response from producer Sébastien Raybaud after the Gerard Butler sequel wraps filming. Released in 2020, the disaster film follows a family fighting for survival as a comet capable of destroying the planet hurtles toward Earth, eventually finding safety in an underground bunker in Greenland. The sequel Greenland: Migration, directed once again by Ric Roman Waugh, follows the family as they are forced to leave the safety of the bunker and embark on a dangerous journey through the devastated wasteland of Europe in search of a new home.
Now, after the sequel wraps filming, Greenland 3 chances have received a tantalizing update. During an interview with Deadline, producer Sébastien Raybaud announced that Greenland: Migration wrapped filming in July and, asked about the chances of Greenland 3, said they are thinking about the possibility, though the sequel’s plot may present challenges for continuing the story. Read his full comments below:
We wrapped in July and I saw a first cut this past week, which is great. It’s a great achievement for the filmmakers involved. It’s a $90M film and exactly the type we want to see more of in Europe… We’re thinking about what could happen afterwards. There’s something that happens in 2 that could be tricky, but I’m sure we can find a way.
Producer Sébastien Raybaud’s comments mean a few things for Greenland: Migration, and the possibility of the series continuing with a third film. First off, the sequel officially wrapped filming in July after beginning in April 2024, with much of the main Greenland cast returning, including Gerard Bulter, Morena Baccarin, and Roger Dale Floyd. Additionally, the budget has increased from $35 million to $90 million. With filming having wrapped in July, the sequel should be able to meet its estimated release in early 2025.
As for the chances of Greenland 3, producer Sébastien Raybaud’s comments hint at the possibility of a third movie, saying they are considering future developments. However, he mentions a challenging development in Greenland: Migration, perhaps a major plot twist or character death, that could complicate a third installment, but expressed confidence in finding a solution. Overall, the producer’s comments leave the door open for a third film while acknowledging there may be potential creative hurdles that would need to be overcome.
Producer Sébastien Raybaud’s comments indicate they are exploring the possibility of a third movie, however, its chance will likely hinge on how Greenland: Migration performs. The first film garnered mostly favorable reviews from critics, though there was some criticism for its clichéd plot, and grossed $52 million globally against its $35 million budget. The sequel should fare similarly with critics, but with an increased budget of $90 million, it will have to cross a greater threshold in order to ensure its profitability, which could end up hurting Greenland 3‘s chances.
