The Community movie, which had been postponed due to the writers' strike, recently received a positive update. After years of anticipation and internet memes, the confirmation of the Community movie came last year on Peacock, with original cast members Joel McHale, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Jim Rash, and Ken Jeong all set to return. However, the progress was halted when creator Dan Harmon had to pause the scriptwriting process during the Writers Guild of America strike.
Despite the setback caused by the writers' strike, there is now encouraging news about the Community movie from McHale. In a recent appearance on the Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast, the Community star revealed that they will begin shooting the movie next summer. McHale also emphasized the importance of Donald Glover's return, as his name had been absent from the initial announcement. Please see McHale's statement below for more details.
We have plans to film it during the upcoming summer.
Joel McHale's Community Movie Update Is Tentative, But Welcome
We managed to secure Donald Glover's return, which was a major accomplishment. In addition, it appears that everyone else from the cast will also be reprising their roles. As of now, things are looking promising, and I have high hopes that everything will fall into place.McHale previously stated that the Community movie was postponed indefinitely due to the writers' strike. However, he now expresses confidence that filming will commence next summer. Although there is no definitive resolution to the strike, this anticipated timeline brings excitement to fans who have long awaited the release of the Community movie.
According to McHale's recent update, it appears that all members of the cast will be making a comeback in the Community movie. This includes Yvette Nicole Brown as Shirley, although her return has not been officially confirmed yet. Glover's return has been endorsed by McHale and was confirmed by the actor himself last month. Since each member plays a crucial role in the study group's dynamics, it is crucial that all of them come back for the movie.
