✅ What we know about the original
-
The original film Brave was released in 2012 by Pixar / Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Its story follows a strong-willed Scottish princess, her struggle against old traditions, and a magical mishap that forces her to learn about responsibility, family, and what it really means to be brave.
🔍 What we do know about “Brave 2” and why you might’ve heard about it
-
Over the years, there has been speculation and occasional rumors about a sequel to Brave. But none of these rumors have been confirmed by Pixar or Disney.
-
In 2024, the voice actress for Merida explicitly said she’s not aware of any sequel or live-action remake being in the works.
-
Some fan-made articles — or sometimes unverified sources — claim there is a “Brave 2 (2025)” with a plot about Merida returning as a more mature leader, facing new threats, and exploring her kingdom further. But these are not backed by official announcements.
⚠️ Why a real “Brave 2 (2025)” is very unlikely (so far)
-
The studio behind Brave has historically avoided sequels unless the original filmmakers had a strong new story idea. For Brave, no such follow-up has been publicly committed to.
-
Plans for other sequels at Pixar and Disney have taken priority over revisiting Brave, meaning the original creators have moved on.
Bottom line: It’s almost certain that there is no official story for a 2025 “Brave 2,” and all references to such a film come from rumor or fan speculation.
If you like — I can run a mini “fan-theory” plot that many people imagine Brave 2 would follow (based on hints from the original).
Do you want me to build that for you now?
