10 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Are Completely Unnecessary

6. RoboCop Returns

RoboCop Returns is said to completely ignore the second and third installments in the franchise, and act as a direct sequel to the classic original instead. However, based on recent events following the template set by the Terminator franchise probably isn't the wisest idea.

We already had a new version of RoboCop a few years back that wasn't very good, and there's every chance that Returns could end up as just the latest in a long line of long-delayed and nostalgia-driven sequels that disappoints both longtime fans and newbies alike.

Much like his attempts at Alien 5, Neill Blomkamp's next attempt at reinventing a beloved 80's action classic didn't fare so well, and while Little Monsters director Abe Forsythe has since been hired as his replacement there doesn't seem to be much interest in seeing yet another reboot/sequel hybrid arrive on our screens at least a decade too late.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
