10 Most Exciting Upcoming Movies Announced This Year

3. A Quiet Place 2

One of 2018's biggest breakout hits, A Quiet Place deserved all the money and critical praise heaped upon it. A skilful exercise in tension and scares, it was a refreshing cinematic experience which proved that people will go and see original movies - as long as they're good.

That being said, it didn't really seem like the type of movie that warranted a sequel. It did end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but it was less "sequel-bait" and more "fill in the blanks yourself". But the broader world of A Quiet Place is rich and thriving with opportunity, so perhaps the next instalment will branch out and explore other towns and countries, or further delve into the origin and history of its central creatures.

A Quiet Place 2 was announced at CinemaCon, shortly after the original began dominating the box-office. Director John Krasinski will surely be returning, after he makes his next movie, Life On Mars. He was integral to the quality of the first film, and he's already said he has lots of ideas for a sequel. Hopefully he can strike gold twice!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
