Production

Regarding a possible fourth Cars film, Cars 3 (2017) producers Kevin Reher and Andrea Warren told CinemaBlend that "if there's a good story to tell I mean our heads kinda break after having gotten this one done, like oh my God, what could you do the further adventures of? But like any sequel, from Toy Story 4 to Incredibles [sic], as long as there's a good story to tell, it's worth investing; we do love these characters, we love them as much as the public does."[1] Regarding which character would be the main protagonist in the film, Reher and Warren stated that "if Cruz is a breakout character, kind of like Mater was, she [would] be involved in a 4".[2]

Owen Wilson, who voices Lightning McQueen, stated at a Cars 3 press event that possible stories have been discussed for Cars 4, though he would personally like for a fourth Cars film to delve into aspects of the thriller genre, akin to Cars 2 (2011).[3] In an interview with Screen Rant, Lea Delaria expressed interest in reprising her role as Miss Fritter while promoting the release of the short film Miss Fritter's Racing Skoool with the Cars 3 DVD and Blu-ray release.[4]

In November 2024, it was revealed via an official D23 survey that a fourth film is in development.[5]
