15 Movie Sequels That Better Happen In 2017

14. Mad Max: The Wasteland

Mad Max Fury Road Avatar
Warner Bros.

The Original: George Miller's Best Picture-nominated action masterpiece, which massively overshot just about everyone's expectations and ended up one of 2015's very best movies. It's so good we barely even missed Mel Gibson from the prior trilogy.

The Sequel: On the press tour for Fury Road, Miller stated that he had written material for at least two more sequels, and while he's keen to proceed with the first, currently given the working title The Wasteland, little concrete is known beyond that (except that it may focus on Charlize Theron's Furiosa).

How Likely Is It?: While it probably makes sense for the 71-year-old Miller to get the movie made sooner rather than later, he has expressed a desire to make another film before returning to the world of Mad Max.

Plus, with Fury Road being a modest box office success rather than a financial smash, Warner Bros. probably aren't tripping over themselves to rush it out the door. As much as everyone wants more of this world, it almost certainly won't be showing up next year. 2/10
