6 Long-Desired Movie Sequels That Have No Chance of Happening
How dare they come crashing down on our dreams like this.
The wishes of fans often seem to fall on deaf ears in the realm of Hollywood. There are some sequels that passionate fans clamor for year after year, but as time goes by, so do all of their hopes.
Here are the 6 most long-awaited movie sequels that fans would love to see one day.
White Chicks 2
A sequel to the iconic Wayans comedy has been a topic of discussion for years, with fans anxiously awaiting the return of the brothers in their hilarious cross-dressing roles. While there have been hints and rumors from time to time, the reaction of Marlon Wayans not too long ago made it clear that there is no chance of a comeback for the Copeland brothers.
But who knows, maybe, it's just a trick..?
Divergent: Ascendant
The book trilogy was supposed to end with three movies, but the trend of splitting up dystopian novels for profit played a bad game with the fans. While the third movie was a success for some, it ended up being a flop, and the fourth installment had to be canceled. There were also plans to turn the post-apocalyptic Chicago story into a TV show, but the actors dropped out of the project.
Alita 2
Alita: Battle Angel is a promising cyberpunk action movie based on the Gunnm manga, which was met with disappointment by many in 2019. Despite its compelling action and visuals, the film failed to make the expected box office, and plans for a sequel have been shelved for who knows how long.
The Amazing Spider-Man 3
It's no secret that The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, starring Andrew Garfield as the titular character, originally had a third installment planned. However, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 was ultimately canceled due to a number of factors, including creative differences and the decision to reboot the Spider-Man franchise.
With Tom Holland taking on the role of Spider-Man, there seems to be no chance of seeing how Garfield's Peter Parker story would have ended.
Occasional successes like The Devil Wears Prada have had a chance to change the long-standing box office struggles of female-led films. With a strong female cast including Mary Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt, the sequel would have all the hitting box office potential, but it seems the only people interested are the fans.
The Vega Brothers’ Prequel
Not a sequel, but a prequel that we would never get the opportunity of seeing. Quentin Tarantino once imagined that his movies would share a common universe, with characters like Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction and Vic Vega from Reservoir Dogs being brothers.
The planned Vega Brothers prequel faded due to the passing of time and the aging of the actors, and now, as time flies and Tarantino's focus shifts to his final film project, fans will have to bury their hopes forever.
