Even though it’s been a decade since the original Zombieland, the wild ride across the country is far from over. For devoted fans who’ve been waiting for years and for anyone just now discovering the first film, let’s look at everything we know about Zombieland 2: Double Tap.
This horror comedy sequel is currently scheduled to come out on October 18, 2019. That makes perfect sense, as that will be just thirteen days before Halloween. And there’s another good reason for that particular release date. The first Zombieland crawled into theaters on October 9, 2009, so the sequel is poised to come out right around the one-decade anniversary. That should be an ideal time to check out where the four survivors landed after so many years on the road as a highly dysfunctional zombie-busting family.
Originally, October 11 was pegged as the release date, but it was pushed back a week, where it will open against Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. If Columbus and Tallahassee can defeat the undead, we’re pretty sure they’ll be able to hold their own against Angelina Jolie as well.
Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Woody Harrelson, and Jesse Eisenberg are all set to reprise their roles, which means that our four heroes stuck to their survival rules and made it through the last decade in one piece. And Bill Murray is even reportedly coming back, which doesn’t make a lick of sense, as he, spoiler alert, met his unfortunate and hilarious demise in the first movie.
But that lapse in logic will be worth it, as Murray is also bringing along his Ghostbusters buddy, Dan Aykroyd. And that’s not the only new addition! Avan Jogia will be playing Berkeley, a bad boy musician, and Zoey Deutch and Rosario Dawson show up as a couple of characters named Madison and Nevada, respectively. And finally, Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch will also be joining in on the fun. With all that talent assembled, we’re expecting a thoroughly entertaining sequel!
