Movies You Wish Had Gotten Sequels, That Never Did

[JD]

There are a lot of movies out there that I really enjoyed, and really wish had gotten sequels, but never did.
Some of my top picks:
Jupiter Rising - I really liked this movie, and I would have loved to have gotten to explore more of it's universe in more movies.
Titan A.E. - A favorite of mine, it works good as a standalone story, but I think if it had been popular enough there were options for more stories.
Valerian - Another fascinating universe that I would have liked to see more of. I'm not sure how much of this one came from the comics, but there are 20+ so if they had wanted to use them for future sequels there's obviously plenty of material there for them to use.
The Last Witch Hunter - I'm a big fan of urban fantasy series like The Dresden Files and of all of the movies I have seen, I think this is the one that felt the most like one of those kind of stories. I would have loved to have gotten more adventures of Kaulder, the 36th Dolan, and Chloe.
So what movies are disappointed never got sequels?

Serenity.

Oh, that's another good one. I'm kicking myself for not including it on my list.

 

[DigificWriter]

* Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

* Super Mario Bros.

* The Amazing Spider-Man 2

 

[OCD Geek]

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Galaxy Quest and Bubba Ho-Tep. Granted, I'm well aware that they're one-joke movies that probably can't sustain a sequel (see also: Ghostbusters and Tremors), but I really like the characters and want to spend more time with them.

I'd also love a ParaNorman sequel. Not enough great kiddie horror films in the world.

 

[GNDN18]

Buckaroo Banzai vs. the World Crime League. The loss to the galaxy may be irretrievable.

 

[Avro Arrow]

The Golden Compass.

Yes, I know I'm probably the only one.

A third :Hellboy" movie by Del Toro.

A more proper third "Ghostbusters" movie with the old cast or one with a new cast where the older characters are their to kind of pass the touch.

Talledega Nights.

Damn, you're all coming up some good ones I completely forgot about.
Sky Captain, Buckaroo Banzai, Galaxy Quest, and Hellboy II are definitely up there for me. After all the set up in I and II, I'm still frustrated we aren't going to get Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy III.
Anybody know if they are still doing the Amazon Prime Galaxy Quest series?

Anybody know if they are still doing the Amazon Prime Galaxy Quest series?

After Rickman's death I think the cast have no desire to return without him. Also I suspect that with Discovery, Orville, and Lost in Space going right now Amazon doesn't see an opening for it.

 

[CaptainMurdock]

Forbidden Planet.
Super Mario Bros.
Galaxy Quest.
The November Man. (Though technically one is still possible.)
and
The Big Lebowski.(Also possible.)

 

[Owain Taggart]

The Golden Compass.

Yes, I know I'm probably the only one.

No, you're not. And last I heard the BBC is working on a miniseries? The movie, despite its flaws, I thought was really great. I ended up reading the books and was disappointed that they didn't spend more time in that world. I was disappointed in the followups and felt like the story really fell apart by the 3rd book anyway. But the miniseries might let them go further than the first book.

I didn't even hear about this project. It was going to use the orginal cast instead of doing a reboot or remake?

[Turd Ferguson]

Dredd
Event Horizon
Mad Max: Fury Road - It recently came out that a sequel is unlikely due to lawsuits being filed between Warner Bros. and George Miller, so that's a shame since I really liked Fury Road
Super Mario Bros.
Terminator Genisys - I think I'm the only one who liked this

 

[Grendelsbayne]

I heartily agree with Serenity, Galaxy Quest, and Valerian. I'll also add:

District 9, Wall-E, Fantasia 2000, Master and Commander the Far Side of the World, and Tomorrowland.

Twister: A sequel ever few years where the tornado's keep getting bigger and bigger and in the final one the movie plays it like it's trying to get revenge on Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt for all those years of trying to interfere with them.

Stargate: I would have loved a movie with the tv cast and then one with the movie cast where they do their own thing.

E.T: How in the world has nobody done a movie where E.T comes back to revist Elliot?

Hancock: Don't listen to the hype. Black Panther wasn't the first awesome Superhero movie starring a black led Superhero. This is a underrated classic that also looked at important theme and that was interracial marriage. It had bunch of funny R-rated humor but also lovable characters and with some important meesages about love and wanting to make a positive influence in the Jason Bateman character.

Terminator Genisys

John Carter

Green Lantern



There are loads of films I'd like to see more of, but these are the ones which had planned sequels which were set up and then dropped. If love to know what happened. It's times like this I'd love that Rick & Morty AU TV adapter.

 

[Turtletrekker]

^Agreed about Green Lantern and John Carter. The credit scene in Green Lantern setting up Sinestro as the villain in the sequel was the most memorable scene in the movie. And I really liked John Carter. I never really understood where all the hate came from?

 

[USS Firefly]

Serenity
Superman returns
Hellboy
Did I mention Serenity?
