Coco 2 plot synopsis: What will happen in Coco 2?
There is currently no official word on what will happen in Coco 2 just yet. However, based on the concept of the first film, it seems likely that the plot of the film will revolve around the Day of the Dead again. Instead of Miguel getting stuck in The Land of the Dead though, it's possible that a different relative will get lost there.
It's also possible that Coco 2 will be set in the future when Miguel is a father himself.
Coco 2 soundtrack: What songs are in Coco 2?
One thing that's certain is Coco 2 will have a killer soundtrack just like the first movie. The original soundtrack had eight original songs written by Germaine Franco, Adrian Molina, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. It's currently unclear if they will return and if any of the original songs will appear again.
