15 Movie Sequels That Will Definitely Be Announced In 2017
4. The Mummy 2
There's a lot of ambivalence about the upcoming Tom Cruise-led reboot of The Mummy, specifically that there's no Brendan Fraser in it and it looks a bit, well, generic.
Still, history has proven that casual audiences love generic action fare, so this one seems pretty damn likely to be one of the summer's big hits, even if it's a movie you probably won't remember much of a few weeks later.
Cruise generally has a knack for picking financially viable projects, and he's clearly signed on for this one as the hopeful beginning of a new franchise.
The budget is evidently pretty huge, but Cruise's star power continues to shine brightly, so expect at least a solid hit that'll keep these movies coming for the next 5-10 years.
