In no particular order:
- The Last Witch Hunter (2015) Vin is trying
- Maverick (1994)
- Serenity (2005) I know it is wrapping up Firefly, but why? Keep it going!
- Underwater (2020) I hope they make 10
- Deadwood (2019)
- Beerfest (2006) Where’s Potfest?
- Con Air (1997) You’re telling me this only happened once?
- American Ultra (2015) Release activated Mike on the world. Or maybe the government is at it again with someone else.
- The Faculty (1998) Attempt number two
- Sky High (2005)
- The Princess Bride (1987)
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)

- Dredd (2012) Already mentioned by u/yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org.
- Old Guard (2020) Supposedly done. Not released.
I was surprised at how many movies have sequels I didn’t know about.
No to Princess Bride. It’s perfect…. Leave it alone.
Sharknado 6. I know they said that was the end, but have they really explored all of this idea’s potential? If Fast and the Furious can put a car in space, there should be a shark in space for it to jump over.
Did they actually go to space? I haven’t watched a Fast and Furious since, like, 5
Yeah best that you pretend the franchise ended there…
Downfall (Der Untergang), 2004
Didn’t the main actor die? Also, he died in the movie, so a tough sequel.
Maybe spinoff would work better. Using the worldbuilding and asking what happened next. I was told once that The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), 2006 is set in the same universe and the same country, but this might be head canon, donno
Bruno Gans, Swiss, he was great in 'Wings of Desire".
Constantine, I’m surprised it’s taken them this long to even talk about a sequel.
One of my favorites, the the series was excellent too. I’m not entirely sure which actor I liked best in the role
I loved the series, the movie not that much
Can’t wait for Colbert’s reluctant demon.
He had some great animated movies. Unlike the movie with the worst casting decision in the history of comic book movies.
Although there were a lot of problems with Ender’s Game, I was a little surprised that they didn’t adapt any of the sequels. I mean I wouldn’t have watched them, but it seemed like they went pretty all in on that first one to not at least try the second with a significantly reduced budget.
The first and second books are really nothing alike. Only linked by main character and the events of the first. Everything is different about them.
I think the sequels might be to philosophical compared to the first one
Not a film, but the series Taboo. Was crying out for it, but Tom Hardy got big after the first series.
I’m way too late on this one but I’m going with Battle Angel Alita.
The Mist
How would they make a sequel out of The Mist?
spoiler
With how it ended with that one dude being the only one alive from his party. And then there being military coming through.
I feel like I’m the only one who laughed at that ending. It’s just so bad.
it’s awesome imo.
I’m gonna answer a slightly different question, What film am I surprised didn’t get a sequel sooner? The Incredibles. Sure, it was a self-contained story, but it could’ve gone anywhere after that. The last scene with the undertaker was just teasing another Incredibles adventure. But instead we just kept getting toy stories.
By the time they did announce a sequel, it had been so long that I wasn’t confident that it could live up to the original - and I was pretty much right, it wasn’t a bad movie but I’ve never felt the desire to watch it again like I have the first a few dozen times. So yeah, that’s one movie where I’m like “why didn’t they ever make a sequ- … oh, that’s right they did”
Fight Club
The Road to El Dorado was the pilot for an animated series that never got greenlit. Massive missed opportunity, I would love to see “the continuing adventures of three latin rogues and a horse”
“What happens when the party is 2 bards and a rogue.”
At the time animated series didn’t have the same quality they do today, I suspect it’s reputation is so good because there’s no subsequent animated series.
Fast and the Furious.
The title for the sequel could be some kind of pun on how the film is faster and/or more furious than what would be reasonable under normal circumstances
Amazing!
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist
They even teased it man… Pretty sure every kid has an existential crisis when they searched for that sequel in Google and found out it didn’t exist.
What???
An I just finding out that there will be no sequel to that? I remember that were planning, and planning, and planning, and it was too come out in 20XX, and then 20XX etc (can’t remember the years)
What happened? Not enough funding, or was bullshit all along?? I feel so… Duped…
This might be controversial but, I think we’re better off…
How dare you!
Jumper. It was setting up an interesting world with more depth than the first movie could delve. I loved that one of the characters was so cool that the author of the original novel went out and wrote another book just about the movie’s character and it rocked.
The novel Jumper by Steven Gould, on which the film Jumper was based, spawned a continuing series that went on for a while and kept being pretty good. For the hell of it the author also wrote Jumper: Griffin’s Story which wasn’t part of his novels’ continuity, instead it was a prequel to the movie.
You should check out the porn parody, Humper
In a similar vein, Chronicle. I absolutely love that film
I loved Chronicle, but I’m not sure I would have loved a sequel.
I’ll make a note to check Chronicle out.
A sequel to Prometheus that actually focused on getting answers from the engineers. Covenant had an interesting performance from Fassbender but nothing else.
I’m in the opposite camp, lol. I feel like Prometheus and Covenant both were deeply unnecessary. The most hurtful thing you can do for a horror franchise is add too much detail. Even if it is as weird and convoluted as Prometheus and Covenant
The movies ruined the horror part of the franchise long before Prometheus.
True, but still, I feel like they didn’t really add anything that was needed
Prometheus should have had it’s stand-alone universe. They fucked up by bolting xenomorphs onto it, and all the baggage that came with them.
Just as they say Starbucks coffee is coffee for people who don’t like coffee, I’ve concluded that Prometheus was an Alien film for people who don’t like Alien films.
