Spielberg directed the first film from 2018.
Summary Steven Spielberg, who directed the first film from 2018, confirms his involvement in Ready Player Two as a producer. Based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Cline, who adapted it to the screen alongside Zak Penn, the sci-film is set in a dystopian future where people use a virtual reality simulation known as the OASIS to escape reality, with the film featuring a plethora of pop-culture Easter eggs.
Speaking to Showbiz 411 at the Universal Pictures gala at Soho House after the 2024 Oscars, Spielberg provided an update on his upcoming projects. The legendary director won't have anything in production in 2024, saying, "We’re in the discovery phase, trying to figure out what’s next." However, Spielberg did share a Ready Player Two update, confirming that he will be involved in the sequel as a producer.

Spielberg's involvement in Ready Player Two, even as a producer, is still somewhat surprising considering he has generally been averse to sequels throughout his illustrious career, outside of Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park. However, he does frequently produce projects without having much hands-on involvement in their development, with recent examples including Maestro, The Color Purple, Halo, and Masters of the Air.
