When this film became wildly successful, talk of a sequel naturally arose, especially when Winston Groom wrote a sequel novel called 'Gump & Co'. However, at the time, Tom Hanks adamantly refused to work in any sequel (and making the sequel with another actor was not a consideration). After Hanks reconsidered his stance on sequels/prequels (Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010), Angels & Demons (2009)), the original screenwriter Eric Roth attempted to adapt 'Gump & Co.' in 2001. However, the 9/11 attacks changed the world to the extent that it made the film irrelevant. Despite several attempts to revive the project and the absence of a formal cancellation, the sequel has remained in "development hell" since, and is unlikely to be made.
