Overview

  • A funding notice from the Film‑und‑Medienstiftung NRW that surfaced on July 22 names Til Schweiger as Axel and confirms the project has received €900,000 in public support.
  • The sequel is being produced in Cologne by Gesellschaft für Feine Filme and the new joint venture Peak Point Pictures, with Hermine Huntgeburth set to direct and Judy Horney and Martin Gypkens credited as screenwriters.
  • Vuelta Entertainment Germany is reported as the distributor and the announced principal cast includes Jan Josef Liefers, Marie Bäumer and Rufus Beck, though full casting has not been confirmed.
  • The story is described as picking up roughly 30 years later when Axel reappears at his gay son’s wedding, a setup that the fund says will explore patchwork families, midlife crises and parenthood.
  • Ralf König, author of the original comics, says he has no creative role and has not seen the screenplay; no shooting schedule or release window has been announced, leaving key production details unresolved.
