Marlton Movie Sequel (The Sequel)

Marlton Movie Sequel (The Sequel) is an American animated/live-action satirical comedy drama film based on the Kingson animated series Marlton, as well as the second film based on the series. Directed by series creator Michael Argot, and written by him and series co-writer Dab Mcgee, the film features the regular cast of Brandon Soo Hoo, Jorge Diaz, Ralf Hat, Jeremy Shada, Jack DeSena; while Alan Tudyk reprises his role as recurring antagonist Wacky Pal. The film serves as a narrative conclusion to the series. In the film, the Marlton boys are brought together again years after they've grown apart from each other when a nostalgia-obsessed Steven makes a deal with Wacky Pal to use the film camera to create a reality where his rose-tinted vision of Marlton will last forever. In contrast to the first film, which parodied the film industry as a whole, Sequel satirizes the existence of Marlton in itself; modern media's reliance on nostalgia, as well as the specific audience who perpetuates this stigma. The film is scheduled for release on July 22, 2022.

Synopsis
Now college-aged and have since gone their separate ways, the Marlton boys are all in different places in life and satisfied with who they have become; all except for Steven. Disillusioned with his future and longing for the memories he had at Marlton Intermediate, he makes a deal with the long since forgotten Wacky Pal; to make things exactly the way they used to be many years ago. Unbeknownst to him, however, this deal is exactly what Wacky Pal needed to take full advantage of his self-awareness; and uses his reality warping abilities to ensure that Steven's vision of Marlton will continue forever, the true nature of which is now revealed to everyone. With their reality falling apart literally and figuratively, the Marlton boys will have to make up for lost time and shatter the fourth wall once and for all to save their past, present and future from the looming threat of Wacky Pal and the higher Executive gods who all seek to remain stuck in the past Steven thinks so highly of.
