A sequel to The Emoji Movie would likely continue the story of emojis living inside a smartphone, expanding on the world of Textopolis. In the first film, the protagonist Gene, a “Meh” emoji with the ability to express multiple emotions, embarks on an adventure to save his world. With the promise of The Emoji Movie 2, fans might anticipate an exploration of new digital realms, more emojis, and even deeper themes about the digital age and communication.
One potential direction for The Emoji Movie 2 could involve the introduction of new characters representing apps and trends that have emerged since the first movie. Emojis for video-sharing apps, social media influencers, or augmented reality could be introduced, with their own personalities and quirks. It would be interesting to see how Gene and his friends, like Hi-5 and Jailbreak, navigate these new technologies and environments, which are increasingly integral to modern digital communication
The sequel could also dive deeper into the relationship between humans and their digital lives. The first film briefly touched on this idea through Alex, the phone’s owner, and his struggle with expressing himself. A continuation of this narrative could focus on more complex human issues—like over-reliance on technology, or the search for authenticity in an increasingly digital world.
From a visual standpoint, The Emoji Movie 2 could play with vibrant, imaginative landscapes representing updated smartphone features, from sleek new designs to glitches and bugs. With humor, heart, and the same colorful animation style, the sequel could aim to charm younger audiences while also addressing meaningful themes about technology’s role in our lives.
