Apple just confirmed what every petrolhead was praying for.
F1 is getting a sequel.
And the man who runs Apple's entire entertainment empire dropped the news himself.
Eddy Cue. Cannes. 2026 Entertainment Person of the Year.
That stage. That mic. That announcement.
The Brad Pitt racing drama didn't just do well.
It detonated.
Not bad for a company everyone said couldn't do cinema.
Remember when Apple TV+ was the streaming service nobody finished signing up for?
Those days are gone.
CODA won Best Picture.
Ted Lasso swept the Emmys.
The Studio cleaned up too.
And then F1 walked in and broke the box office.
Now Cue is saying it loud:
👉 "We want to keep getting better and more."
More movies. More theaters. More streaming. More everything.
Writers are already on the script.
Director Joseph Kosinski has been in active talks with Apple for months.
He's even floated a wild idea — a crossover with the 1990 Tom Cruise classic Days of Thunder.
Pitt and Cruise. Same frame. Same track.
🤯 Imagine that trailer.
This isn't just about one sequel.
It's about Apple finally cracking a code Netflix still can't.
Theatrical AND streaming. Together. Not either-or.
"Going theatrical did not hurt us with F1," Cue said.
"People loved it in theaters. People loved it on Apple TV."
Translation: the old playbook is dead.
Apple's incoming CEO John Ternus is, in Cue's words, "a huge supporter and lover of our content."
Meaning the entertainment bet isn't slowing down post-Tim Cook.
It's accelerating.
A trillion-dollar gadget company is quietly becoming a studio.
A studio that ships hits in IMAX and on your iPhone.
The iPhone made Apple. The Mac built it.
But Hollywood?
That might be the franchise nobody saw coming.
And the sequel just got the green light.
That's all for now!
