Released in cinemas last June, F1: The Movie quickly racked up eye-watering box-office numbers, grossing an impressive $633,142,436 to date and becoming the most successful film of Brad Pitt’s career.

Speaking at the BBC Academy Awards luncheon in Los Angeles, Bruckheimer, who has produced a string of blockbuster hits throughout his career such as Top Gun and Armageddon, confirmed that work on a sequel is already underway.

F1: The Movie picked up seven nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards. The film went on to claim two awards, winning Best Editing for Stephen Mirrione and Best Sound thanks to the work of Al Nelson, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Gary A. Rizzo, Juan Peralta, and Gareth John.

It was also shortlisted in the categories for Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Song, Best Visual Effects and Best Stunt Design.
