10 Recent Movies That Perfectly Set Up Incredible Sequels

10. Zack Snyder's Justice League

Though a follow-up to Zack Snyder's Justice League may seem as close to impossible as imaginable right now, there was a time when you could have said the same thing about the Snyder Cut itself.

Justice League flopped when it released across the world in 2017, and it flopped hard. Thankfully, Zack Snyder was given the opportunity to complete his vision, as the Snyder Cut was released four years later, in what was ultimately a far superior product.

Without the input of a new director with a very different vision, and minimal studio interference, Snyder's Justice League played out in a more cohesive way, even laying down the pieces for the SnyderVerse to continue. Unfortunately, this has so far been ignored entirely by Warner Bros.

Whereas the actual canon all but abandoned the Justice League - showing them together only once more, at the end of Peacemaker - the Snyder Cut set in motion what could have been a powerful story. With Darkseid playing the role of the big bad - DC's answer to Thanos - Martian Manhunter and potentially more would have joined the team to defend the planet against Steppenwolf's uncle.

There is plenty of opportunity for DC movies to exist outside of James Gunn's DCU - such as The Batman and Joker - and after the resurrection power of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, can you really count out Justice League 2?
