20 Most Hotly-Anticipated Movie Sequels Coming In 2016

13. The Divergent Series: Allegiant

Release Date: March 10, 2016 If you've been brave enough to follow the Divergent series through thick and thin, then chances are that you're pumped for the second to last chapter in this wannabe Hunger Games-like franchise, based on the acclaimed books by Veronica Roth. There's hope that, unlike the previous movies in this series, Allegiant can correct the mistakes of the past and deliver a chapter in the saga that is worthy of the books it's named after. Divergent has struggled to find the right approach to the material, after all, but given that the next installment will set the stage for the final movie, there's a chance that the inherent narrative weight - and actress Shailene Woodley - will help this one pull through. Divergent never managed to attract the masses in the ways that The Hunger Games did, but this third chapter is bound to be one of 2016's biggest flicks regardless. Fingers crossed that with, the filmmakers can use the gathering momentum to deliver an exciting yarn.
