Joker ii

Information technology seems more a example of when rather than if, but a follow-upwardly to the $1bn grossing Joker picture show is still existence downplayed. Todd Phillips is all but certain to write and straight over again, with Joaquin Phoenix in the title part. No firm details still, simply nosotros'd bet a Pot Noodle on that being a formality.

The core cast of Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Jack Black are fix to return for another Jumanji run a risk, that'll presumably pick upwardly from around whereThe Next Level left off.

Jungle Cruise 2

Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson have both signed up for a sequel toJungle Cruise, that as well brings dorsum director Jaume Collet-Serra is going to direct. Expect this to take a few years to happen, simply given the $100m gross at the US box role for the original – at a time when films weren't doing that – it should go moving before long.

In that location's some way to become before anyone agrees to pay for it to exist fabricated, merely fingers crossed this ane finally happens…

The Terminal Witch Hunter 2

Here'southward some other surprise. It'd generally been regarded that the Vin Diesel-headlined The Last Witch Hunter was not a very successful movie. We neither remember it called-for a trail at the box office or beingness a huge fan success.

Legally Blonde iii

Reese Witherspoon will be reprising the role of Elle Woods for the showtime fourth dimension in over 15 years for a tertiary official Legally Blonde moving picture (the character didn't feature in the direct to DVD Legally Blondes).

Look some shortly though: MGM had planned a 2022 release, simply 2023 is more likely.

The loss of Richard Donner in July 2021 is likely to have brought this project to a close, but that's non been confirmed. Still, it's hard to see the primal creatives wanting to work with a different manager on it.

The King of beasts King two

This one'due south definitely pressing ahead at Disney, andMoonlight manager Barry Jenkins is helming the new movie. Wait it to tell some of the backstory to the original movie, and feature a whole host of new songs too.

Mad Max 5

George Miller and Warner Bros had a legal bust-upwardly over the proceeds of the wonderful Mad Max: Fury Road, and that put a notable spanner in the works where Mad Max 5 is concerned. It thus explains much of the delay thus far. But Miller is still slap-up to brand the pic.

Mallrats two

Kevin Smith has resurrected his plans for aMallrats sequel, and is working on a screenplay for the film, that he'll also straight.

Minions 2

The 2nd standalone Minions motion-picture show volition join the series up to the Despicable Me trilogy by the looks of it. The clue is in the title: Minions: The Rise Of Gru.

Nobody 2

Bob Odenkirk is set to return in the sequel to 2021's surprise action hit. Derek Kolstad is penning  some other script for him, and information technology simply needs Universal to give information technology all the light-green lite.

With the commencement film banking over $300m at the global box function, in spite of its run being concise by cinema closures, it'd be fair to call theSonic The Hedgehog movie a hit.

This should be interesting. Alicia Vikander is – later on a bit of umming and aahing on the studio's part – set to return as Lara Croft in a further Tomb Raider risk. At that place's a change of personnel backside the camera, though: Ben Wheatley was directing, now it's Misha Green.
