As of now, there is no official announcement for a sequel titled Raya 2: The Last Dragon War. While the 2021 Disney animated film Raya and the Last Dragon was a critical success, garnering praise for its stunning animation, cultural representation, and strong characters, Disney has not confirmed plans for a continuation. However, the film’s conclusion left room for possible sequels or spin-offs.
In the original, Raya united Kumandra’s divided tribes and defeated the Druun with the help of Sisu, the last dragon. A potential sequel could delve into new threats arising in Kumandra or explore the relationships between humans and dragons in the newly united kingdom. The rich world-building and compelling characters, such as Raya and Namaari, provide plenty of material for future stories.
Disney’s trend of creating series or sequels for successful films, as seen with Frozen 2 and Moana’s upcoming Disney+ series, suggests that Raya’s journey might continue in some format. Fans remain hopeful, as Kelly Marie Tran, who voiced Raya, has expressed interest in reprising her role. However, any new development would likely take years to materialize due to Disney’s typical production timelines.
