20 Upcoming Movie Sequels You Had No Idea About

20. The Adventures of Tintin 2

Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin may not have set the world on fire back in 2011, but considering it grossed a solid $374 million against a $135 million budget, it seemed like a sequel would come along soon enough.

Peter Jackson was originally set to direct the follow-up after completing his Hobbit trilogy in 2014, yet development stalled in the years that followed, with intermittent updates suggesting that the script was still being worked on while reiterating that Jackson remained attached to helm.

None of this sounded especially convincing, but after years of radio silence on Tintin 2, Jackson stated this past May that he was hard at work on the script with his partner and regular co-scribe Fran Walsh.

He then followed this up with a super encouraging update in July, that the script was completed and it would also be his next directorial effort... whenever that might actually happen.
