LOS ANGELES -- A sequel to last year's box-office smash "Crazy Rich Asians" looks likely to not hit theaters until possibly 2021.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that screenwriter Peter Chiarelli and director Jon Chu recently submitted revisions to a 10-page synopsis originally submitted in July for the provisionally titled "Crazy Rich Asians 2."
