Tintin 2 now has a completed screenplay, according to Peter Jackson. During a public appearance at the Sitges Film Festival on October 11, 2026, the filmmaker confirmed that this sequel would be the next film he directs. His remarks, reported by Fotogramas and later picked up by The Playlist, provide an update on a project fans have been waiting for since Spielberg’s first installment.
The handover between the two directors was always part of the original plan. Spielberg had signed on for The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, released in 2011, while Jackson was set to steer the second film based on Hergé’s world. In July last year, Tintin’s official site already announced a revival of development and ongoing writing work. With the screenplay completed, this marks another milestone for the sequel.
This announcement fits into a schedule in which Jackson is also fronting the comeback of The Lord of the Rings. In Sitges, he said that The Hunt for Gollum, directed by Andy Serkis, was nearing the end of filming.
No release date or start of production accompanies these comments. Jackson has also not specified at this time which of Hergé's albums would be adapted. The story and the schedule for this second feature remain to be unveiled.
