An Ice Age 6 update has been given by star John Leguizamo, confirming that a new film set in the highly popular film franchise is in the works.
What is the latest Ice Age 6 update?
During a recent appearance on the Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! radio show, Leguizamo — who plays the sloth Sid in all five films — briefly mentioned that a new film set in the world was coming, simply noting that “they are about to do Ice Age 6.” Leguizamo didn’t go into too much detail beyond that, however, so it’s unclear how close the film is to going into production.
Originally premiering in 2000, the Ice Age franchise has technically featured six movies already, but the “Ice Age 6” Leguzamo refers to is most likely a new mainline entry in the series. The last mainline film in the series, Ice Age: Collision Course, was released in 2016. In 2022, a film set in the world of Ice Age, titled The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild, was released.
Alongside Leguizamo, the Ice Age franchise stars an all-star ensemble, including Ray Romano, Denis Leary, Simon Pegg, Josh Peck, Jennifer Lopez, and Queen Latifah. The series typically follows the adventures of Sid, Manny (a mammoth played by Romano), and Diego (a Smilodon played by Leary) as they travel across different areas of the world.
