Apple hasn’t officially greenlit a sequel to last year’s blockbuster “F1: The Movie,” but Eddy Cue — who oversees the tech giant’s entertainment businesses — said one will “hopefully” be coming, in partnership once again with Jerry Bruckheimer.

Cue, senior vice president of services and health at Apple, took the main stage at the Cannes Palais convention center Monday at the Cannes Lions festival with Bruckheimer, the longtime Hollywood producer who teamed with Apple for last year’s hit “F1: The Movie” for Apple Original Films. Cue’s appearance was queued up for his recognition as Cannes Lions’ Entertainment Person of the Year, with the festival citing his leadership of the tech giant’s entertainment and services businesses, including Apple Music and the Apple TV streaming service.
