12 Movie Sequels You Didn't Know Were Coming

11. Atomic Blonde 2

Lethal Weapon 5
Focus Features

When Atomic Blonde was released back in 2017, it received strong reviews and was often compared to the John Wick series thanks to its stylish aesthetic, complex action sequences and slick charm.

After its release, director David Leitch (who actually worked on the first John Wick) announced that a sequel was in the works.

Star Charlize Theron was attached to reprise her leading role not too long after, and in July of 2020 it was revealed that the film would be released as a Netflix original sometime in 2022. There's even been talks about Theron meeting up with John Wick somewhere down the line, but at the moment that's just talk.

Atomic Blonde 2's story is not yet known, but given the first film's interest in international espionage, it can assumed that Theron is going to be in for one hell of a ride.
