20 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Might Be Better Than The First
9. Crawl 2
2019's Crawl is a thoroughly entertaining creature feature starring Kaya Scodelario and Barry Pepper as a daughter and father who find themselves trapped in the crawlspace of their home and pursued by alligators in the middle of a Category 5 hurricane.
Crawl was well-reviewed and commercially successful, so the announcement of a sequel wasn't completely surprising, even if one has to question the likelihood of a similar traumatic scenario befalling the same people twice.
The answer is that Crawl 2 is instead a standalone sequel focused on entirely new characters, and in the very least director Alexandre Aja has cooked up one hell of a premise that certainly raises the mayhem potential.
Crawl 2 will reportedly revolve around a storm which causes animals in New York City's Central Park Zoo to escape, resulting in utter chaos across the city.
That sounds awesome, frankly.
Many great sequels take the original premise and inject it with steroids - Aliens, anyone? - and Crawl 2 certainly sounds like it's using the commercial success of the original to build a bigger, better follow-up.
For creature feature fans starved of quality fare in recent years, this could be an absolute banger alright.
