15 Movie Sequels That Better Happen In 2017

15. Top Gun 2

The Original: Tony Scott's inimitable 1986 cheese classic, revolving around a brazen young Naval aviator (Tom Cruise) who goes to flight school and learns a lot about what it means to be a man. Or something. Everyone remembers the homoerotic volleyball montage and that sex scene set to Berlin's "Take My Breath Away", anyway.

The Sequel: Serious work on a follow-up has been happening since around 2010, though director Tony Scott's 2012 suicide threw something of a spanner in the works, yet Cruise and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are still committed to making it (eventually) happen.

How Likely Is It?: With Cruise preparing to shoot Mission: Impossible 6 and the possibility of his upcoming The Mummy becoming a franchise, there simply may not be room in 2017 to get the movie shot. Plus, there's no word yet on who will be replace Scott as director.

If the film has gone before cameras a year from now, it'd be pretty damn surprising. 3/10
