'Asterix: The Land of the Gods' is Getting a Sequel

Asterix: The Land of the Gods was released in France in 2014, and is soon opening theatrically in the UK (1st April, 2016), where it will be known as Asterix and Obelix: The Mansion of the Gods. At A113Animation, we enjoyed that film a lot, so we were pretty stoked when we learned this morning that a sequel was on its way.

What is it?
Asterix is originally a French series of comic books created in 1959 by brilliant author René Goscinny (this reviewer recommends everything from him - Oumpah-pah, Le Petit Nicolas, Iznogoud, Les Dingodossiers, his Lucky Luke stories - it's all gold) and artist Albert Uderzo. It tells the adventures of a Gaulish warrior and his village resisting the Roman occupation. Asterix has become a massive success, and is one of the most popular French-Belgian comic series worldwide - if not the most popular. It has spawned numerous animated and live-action movies, of varying quality.
