The Simpsons Movie 2 Rumor May Reveal New Title, Sci-Fi Plot Like Avengers & Interstellar

The Simpsons Movie 2 could be getting a new title, with a surprising sci-fi plot like Avengers or Interstellar. A new rumor points to another possible title for the long-awaited sequel. The same report has also revealed a potential plot involving a major science-fiction concept.

Marvel scooper Daniel Richtman wrote in a post on X, “The story of The Simpsons Movie 2 will revolve around a space-time wormhole that mysteriously opens in Springfield, bringing the Simpsons family and the whole gang from 20 years in the future back to the present. The Simpsons we know must fight these older versions of themselves while getting a glimpse into their dark future.”

In another post, he added, “Also, they’re thinking about calling it The Simpsons vs. The Future. The New Simpsons Movie is just a placeholder. But they are considering a few other titles as well.”

Neither the reported storyline nor the potential title has been confirmed by Disney or 20th Century Studios. The project remains in production ahead of its scheduled 2027 theatrical release.
