John Leguizamo Teases Possible Encanto Sequel Where 'All We Do Is Talk About Bruno'

John Leguizamo is ready to talk about Bruno!

Leguizamo, 64, who voiced the character of Bruno in Disney's Encanto, told PEOPLE on Wednesday, March 19, during the opening night for Buena Vista Social Club on Broadway that he'd love to see a sequel to the 2021 musical about the Madrigals, a multi-generational family with magical gifts.

"I'm also waiting for an Encanto 2 when all we do is talk about Bruno," Leguizamo said, alluding to one of the movie's fan-favorite songs "We Don't Talk About Bruno."

"I'm calling them every day saying 'When is No. 2 coming?' They're trying to come up with the storyline. They're working on it," Leguizamo added.

Disney has not officially announced an Encanto 2.

Encanto — which features songs from Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton and Moana) — debuted in theaters on Nov. 24, 2021.

The film's magical story is about the extraordinary Madrigal family, who live in the secluded mountains of Colombia in a magical house called Encanto. The magic of the home has blessed every family member with special and unique gifts ranging from super-strength to speaking with animals to healing — except for one person: Mirabel.
