In an interview on October 25, 2012, director Rich Moore said that he and Disney had ideas about a sequel that would bring the characters up to date and explore online gaming and console gaming.[6] Moore stated that many of the crew and voice cast were open to the sequel, believing that they have "barely scratched the surface" of the video game world they envisioned. He also stated that he planed to include Mario and Tron in the sequel.[7][8] In a 2014 interview, the film's composer Henry Jackman said that a story for the sequel was being written.[9] In July 2015, John C. Reilly said he had signed on to reprise his role of Ralph in a projected sequel.[4]

On March 24, 2016, Rich Moore stated that a sequel was still being planned. Moore also hoped to specifically include an appearance from Mario, citing a "good relationship with Nintendo".[10]
