12 Awesome Recent Movies That Must Never Get Sequels

8. War For The Planet Of The Apes

War For The Planet Of The Apes Caesar

Matt Reeves' finale to the new Planet of the Apes trilogy was a masterful conclusion to Caesar's arc, an emotional, visually stunning blockbuster topped by another fantastic performance from Andy Serkis.

Even though Caesar dies at the end of War, Fox has already begun preliminary discussions about making a fourth film, a spin-off of sorts that will kickstart a new trilogy and act as a lead-in to the classic Charlton Heston Apes movies.

Considering that the new Apes trilogy is one of the most consistent trilogies in film history, it'd be a shame for an unnecessary follow-up to taint that, especially as War felt like such a definitive ending.

How Likely Is It?: There are almost definitely going to be more Apes movies sooner rather than later, and though it'd be nice if they were completely disconnected from the Andy Serkis movies to the point that they're effectively a reboot, there's no way they won't have a significant link to the recent films. 8/10
