Spinoff thread: movies that SHOULD HAVE had sequels
Posted on 9/8/25 at 10:58 am
Posted on 9/8/25 at 10:58 am
So I'm doing this because of the thread on sequels; made me wonder what movies should have had a sequel or more.
Point of reference to start with:
First Blood
Alien
Terminator
All three were very good movies, that did okay (not necessarily great) on first release. They all created very interesting worlds or characters that people wanted to see more of... you didn't expect a sequel, but when it appeared you were going to watch it. And after that first sequel, they all became big money-making properties that could churn out more.
My suggestions are:
John Carter
The Man From Uncle
Everyone I know who saw these, liked them. Liked them enough that the second movies would probably have created franchises

Cavill stated the sequel is likely never happening.

Really sad more people didn't go see this.
I'm a Bond fan but this was better than 90% of all the Bond movies out there. So fun. Vikander was a smoke show too.

Curious- was this ever intended to be a franchise (like Mission: Impossible), or was it a one-off?
I know John Carter was supposed to be a franchise from the start, and Disney bailed (and bought Star Wars instead- which I think was the actual intention, don't get me started on that).

now that the OML fan fiction is out of the way, the answer of course is master and commander
Posted on 9/8/25 at 11:28 am to Scoob
Master and Commander.
Posted on 9/8/25 at 11:28 am to Scoob
Master and Commander is always the number one answer and rightfully so.

I read that Guy Ritchie was planning on numerous. Still talks about making another one but it'll never happen. been too long now, people have forgotten about the first so the second would certainly bomb.
People want Henry Cavill as Bond. I always say just go watch The Man From UNCLE

I loved the Rocketeer but didn't think it did well.
I agree I would have saw more.

After thinking about it, I'd say they should have continued the Monsterverse... Tom Cruise's The Mummy was supposed to have started it.
As I remember, the movie wasn't really bad, but just very blah overall. Didn't get much traction at the box office, so they killed it.
But you had Cruise as the Mummy, Russell Crowe as Dr Jeckyll/Mr Hyde, and a bunch of potential other "classic monsters" to add in and build on. Wasn't the next movie supposed to be the Creature from the Black Lagoon? And then you obviously have the Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster down the road.
Considering what we do have right now, I imagine it could have had some good alternatives to watch.

The first part of Nicholas Pileggi's book Wiseguy, became Goodfellas, the 2nd part of his book became the movie My Blue Heaven, the screen play was written by his wife.
