Upcoming Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were In The Works

We're constantly bombarded with trailers, posters, and concept art for franchise films, but on the flip side, there are quite a few that have successfully stayed under the radar. From indie comedies to Biblical epics, let's take a look at some of the sequels you didn't know were being made.

We thought this day would never come, but it looks like Ridley Scott is heading back to ancient Rome. Nearly 20 years after the original Gladiator hit theaters, Scott is finally making a sequel to the story of Maximus Decimus Meridius. Of course, old Maximus is busy walking through wheat fields in heaven, so what's the sequel going to be about?

Well, according to producer Walter F. Parkes, the film is going to start about 25 to 30 years after the original ended. Part two will focus on Lucius, the son of Maximus' old flame, Lucilla. While Spencer Treat Clark played Lucius in the first film, we don't know if he's going to reprise his role for Gladiator 2. However, we do know that Peter Craig will be working on the screenplay, and he's a guy with some impressive credits to his name, including The Town, both Mockingjay movies, and the upcoming Top Gun sequel. And with Scott at the helm, we're pretty sure we'll be entertained.

As the crew of the Nostromo learned the hard way all the way back in 1979, it's hard to kill an Alien. In reflecting on his landmark sci-fi horror film on its 40th anniversary, director Ridley Scott told Variety that a third prequel, the follow-up to 2012's Prometheus and 2017's Alien: Covenant, is indeed on the way. Despite generally positive critical reviews, Covenant underperformed at the box office, throwing the future of the franchise into uncertainty. But following Disney's acquisition of Fox, both Scott and Alien's new studio home seem eager to return to the sinister stars yet again. Keep watching the video to see all the upcoming movie sequels you didn't know were in the works!
