We are facing a time in which Disney has become obsessed with releasing live actions of its greatest hits, but when Cinderella comes out, basically all of them would have finished, given that it is also in production, one dedicated to the franchise of Moana. However, what was not kept in mind is that they are also the owners of Pixarwhich is why it has already begun to be said that the next step is to recreate the 3D animation films but now with real people.
In a recent interview, Kelly Macdonaldwho gave life to the princess Merida in the movie braveshared his thoughts on the possibility of a live-action sequel or remake. The actress expressed that, although she fondly remembers her experience lending her voice to the iconic character, she had not considered the idea of second parts. “It hadn’t occurred to me,” she commented, highlighting that it was incredible to be part of the select group of Disney princesses, although she does not believe that she could play the girl in a real version due to her age.
Macdonald also talked about his next project, The Radleys, a black comedy about a family of vampires. Interestingly, he mentioned that, of all the films he has worked on, it might be a title that deserves a sequel more than brave. “I think it would be interesting to see a sequel to The Radleys…maybe because this time I would like to have some fangs,” the actress joked.
Launched in 2012, brave It earned a special place among both critics and the public. The story of Mérida, the first Scottish princess of disneycontinues to be valued for its focus on independence and bravery. The film showed how the protagonist had to save her mother, turned into a bear by a curse, while fighting against the traditional expectations of her kingdom. Despite its popularity, Pixar has shown no interest in continuing the story.
The film was a success at the box office, grossing $554.6 million worldwide, more than triple its $185 million budget. In addition, it maintains a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which places it among the most appreciated films of Pixar. However, despite these achievements, it seems that for now Merida’s arc has come to an end, at least in animated cinema.

Author’s note: It would be a good idea to give Brave a second wind, since the movie is entertaining. However, the sequel is what makes the most sense.
