10 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2020

9. Maleficent 2

Quiet Place

Despite receiving a mixed critical reception, the original Maleficent was a box-office monster, going on to earn over $750 million worldwide. A number that high made a sequel inevitable, and sure enough, we'll finally get to see one in 2020.

Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 co-director Joachim Rønning will be steering this particular ship, and Angelina Jolie will return in the title role, surrounded by a brilliant supporting cast including Michelle Pfeiffer and Chiwetel Ejiofor. According to Jolie, those actors will be put to good use too, with the star telling Deadline that everyone has been working really hard on the script, and that the movie will be "really strong".

The film will pick up several years after the original, and will further explore the relationship between Maleficent and Princess Aurora. Given that filming wrapped last year, we should expect our first look at the film - whether that's a still, a cast photo, or even a teaser trailer - in the coming months.
