10 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2018

1. The Equalizer 2

The Equalizer Denzel Washington
Sony Pictures Releasing

The Equalizer was one of the more successful attempts at placing a veteran actor in a 'one man versus the world' action-hero role.

However, "successful" is relative. The Equalizer made $192 million worldwide, which, to most superhero blockbusters, is an opening weekend kind of number; the Denzel Washington-starrer was a modest hit, and is never really referenced in popular culture the same way Liam Neeson's Taken is, making The Equalizer 2 not at all necessary, but welcome all the same.

Little is known about the plot, but expect Denzel to not crack a single smile while murdering dozens and dozens of faceless goons and causing a ton of property damage in the process.

The Equalizer was great fun to watch, and that's all it needed to be - we don't need a deep story or thought-provoking themes in this franchise. If the filmmakers can deliver another enjoyable, badass action flick in the vein of Taken, Die Hard and Bourne, then The Equalizer 2 can be considered a success, just like the first.

Which of these overlooked sequels excites you the most? Let us know in the comments below!

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!
