The future of Cars 4 just got a mixed update. A new industry rumor suggests the next chapter in the high-octane Pixar franchise isn’t currently in motion, but the door is far from closed. While nothing has been officially announced by The Walt Disney Company, rumors hint the studio could still revisit the beloved racing world.
Disney rumor teases if Cars 4 is happening
According to the latest mailbag from DisInsider, chatter about a fourth Cars movie is still floating around, but fans shouldn’t fire up the engines just yet. The outlet said it has “always been told that it’s not true or happening,” which means there’s currently no official production in motion. Still, the rumor keeps the door slightly open.
The logic is pretty straightforward. Cars remains one of the most dependable money-makers for The Walt Disney Company and Pixar. Even without a fresh movie on the slate, merchandise sales and theme park attractions keep the brand cruising at full speed.
Given the property still has millions of fans, it wouldn’t be shocking if the studio eventually revisits Radiator Springs once the timing and the right story fit into place. For now, it’s all just industry rumor. As of this writing, the studio hasn’t officially confirmed anything, so nothing is confirmed yet.
The original Cars hit theaters in 2006 with voice work from stars like Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy, and it quickly became a go-to family favorite. The film later expanded into two follow-ups, Cars 2 and Cars 3, along with several spin-offs and Disney Parks rides. Altogether, the trilogy has pulled in more than $1.4 billion worldwide, showing the franchise still has sway.
Critics have been a bit hit-or-miss on the series over the years. Fans, however, continue to ride hard for it, especially the first movie, which many praise for its heartfelt story and cozy small-town touch. That strong fan loyalty is exactly why sequel rumors refuse to fade away.
For now, the latest update keeps things grounded. Cars 4 is not officially in the works. Still, given the brand’s proven track record, the project remains parked firmly in the “never say never” lane.
