13 Upcoming Movie Sequels Nobody Asked For
8. The Nut Job 2
Release Date: August 11
You probably didn't see this utterly horrendous 2014 animated flick, but with a solid $120.9 million worldwide box office tally, it's clear a lot of people did, and like almost all successful animations, a sequel was quickly greenlit.
The Nut Job 2 will see purple squirrel Surly (Will Arnett) squaring off against Oakton City's corrupt mayor (Bobby Moynihan) and a terrorist street mouse named Mr. Feng (Jackie Chan). Yup.
