15 Movie Sequels That Better Happen In 2017

5. Crank 3D

The Originals: Jason Statham's insane 2006 video game-inspired action flick, and its somehow even more mental 2009 follow-up, Crank: High Voltage. They're not for everyone, but for fans of offensive comedy, brutal violence and The Stath wrecking anyone who gets in his way, there's little better.

The Sequel: Crank 3D was suggested almost immediately after the second movie turned out such a blast, once again bringing Statham's Chev Chelios back from the brink of death for yet another barmy endurance trial.

How Likely Is It?: Though the series has a strong cult following and both directors Neveldine/Taylor and Jason Statham are keen to make another, it's all about getting the moving pieces in place, such as scheduling, budget and a script (yes, these movies actually have a script).

The two main issues are Statham's asking price probably having increased quite significantly since Crank 2, and it being a modest box office success at best means Lionsgate probably aren't itching to green-light another.

Still, Statham is currently shooting a movie where he fights a prehistoric shark (Meg), so if that can get made, Crank 3D seems a little more likely. 4/10
