What is the longest gap between a film and its sequel?

How about Bambi (1942) and Bambi II (2006)? [58 years](oops) 107.15.157.44 (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That is actually 64 years. RudolfRed (talk) 22:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Romanophile: How are you defining sequel? Does the gap between Return_of_the_Jedi (episode 6) and Star_Wars:_The_Force_Awakens (episode 7) count? I see it is less than the two examples already given, but it would good to understand what you are asking. RudolfRed (talk) 20:44, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would not count that, since they released that after three pre‐sequels. —(((Romanophile))) (contributions) 04:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing you mean between the first film and it's first sequel? So a long running series (such as the James Bond films) wouldn't count. --Khajidha (talk) 01:19, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. —(((Romanophile))) (contributions) 04:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Passage de Venus (1874) was a great action flick (predictable plot, however). When will Passage de Mars come out? 2606:A000:1126:28D:A014:BEEF:E9A9:17B2 (talk) 07:09, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Would Passage to Mars (2016) count? [142 years]. 2606:A000:1126:28D:A014:BEEF:E9A9:17B2 (talk) 07:34, 22 May 2020 (UTC) (anybody else here having too much time on their hands?)[reply]
