  • A “School of Rock” sequel has been alluded to by Jack Black.
  • He plays the dishonest substitute teacher.
  • Rumours of a sequel surfaced last year.

The 53-year-old actor previously said it was unlikely there would be a sequel to the 2003 music comedy classic, in which he plays the dishonest substitute teacher and would-be rock star Dewey Finn.

However, rumours of a sequel surfaced last year, with Paramount reportedly eager for a new instalment.

Now, in a joint interview with his Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass, Jack claimed that he is thinking about both a sequel to the duo’s 2006 cult musical film, “Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny,” and to “School of Rock 2.”

Jack said on SiriusXM: “Yup. Both of them. Breaking news. We’re thinking about doing both of those.”

Kyle then quipped: “It’s a hybrid – a school of D.”

Back in 2012, Jack claimed ‘School of Rock’ director Richard Linklater had a different vision for a second movie to his, but he didn’t rule out a sequel entirely.

He explained at the time: “I wouldn’t want to do it without the original writer and director, and we never all got together and saw eye-to-eye on what the script would be.

“It was not meant to be, unfortunately. But never say never.”
