Sony Making Sequel to “Surf’s Up” With WWE Superstars

Today, it’s been announced that Sony will release a sequel to the 2007 animated film “Surf’s Up” featuring WWE superstars.

WWE.com made the following announcement on WWE’s involvement with Sony and the film:

“Sony Pictures Animation and WWE Studios announced today an animated sequel to “Surf’s Up,” the 2007 Academy Award-nominated action-comedy about surfing penguins. The companies are co-financing and producing the movie, which is expected to release in 2017, in time for the original film’s 10th anniversary. “Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania” will be distributed by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment with WWE Studios providing marketing support by leveraging its extensive multi-platform reach.

In the follow-up to the 2007 feature, adventure-inclined penguin Cody Maverick convinces an infamous big wave riding crew known as The Hang 5, voiced by WWE superstars John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, WWE Diva Paige and Mr. McMahon, to journey with him to a mysterious surf spot known as The Trenches, where the crew will supposedly find the biggest waves in the world.

‘We are thrilled to be working with Sony Pictures Animation to bring Cody Maverick back to audiences for more adventures, paired with our WWE Superstars in what promises to be a fun animated film for the entire family,’ said Michael Luisi, WWE Studios President.”
