14 Awesome Recent Movies That Actually Deserve Sequels

12. Atomic Blonde

Though it was glibly referred to as "Jane Wick" by many, Atomic Blonde was a terrific period spy action flick propelled forward by David Leitch's kinetic direction and Charlize Theron's charismatic, bada** performance.

Much like John Wick, this is a movie with franchise potential written all over it, and what actress is more deserving of her own action movie series than Theron?

How Likely Is It?: The first film grossed just north of three-fold its $30 million budget, a solid number albeit certainly not a smash hit figure.

Consider that it made slightly more than John Wick on almost exactly the same budget, though, and it seems much more likely that Focus Features will greenlight a sequel to see whether there's big time series potential here.

For her part, Theron is totally up for it, so there's a solid chance this happens in the next two or three years. 7/10
