10 Recent Movies That Perfectly Set Up Incredible Sequels

There aren't many franchises that can boast ten movies, and those that can, typically enjoyed their best years long before reaching double digits. To put it simply, it would be difficult to garner excitement and anticipation for an 11th installment of just about any film series.

However, by leaning into the over-the-top premises and ludicrous plotlines, and by utilising a carousel of huge names to draw in numbers, the Fast and the Furious is still going strong. The latest addition to the family was Jason Momoa's Dante, who was one of the best things about Fast X and who is set to play a similarly big role in the next sequel.

The character's franchise debut saw him on a hunt for revenge against Dom Torretto for the death of his father, and it's not with Vin Diesel that his story will end. The franchise seemingly took advantage of the upheaval of the DCU and brought back both Gal Gadot's Gisele and, in the post-credits scene, Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs.

The latter, whose time in the franchise appeared to be over, returned as the next target in Dante's crosshairs. No matter the cinematic universe, The Rock going toe to toe with Jason Momoa is a tantalising prospect.
