20 Upcoming Movie Sequels That Might Be Better Than The First

1. The Last Witch Hunter 2

And finally, we have a sequel that just about nobody expected to happen until the original's star recently announced it.

The Last Witch Hunter was a 2015 fantasy action film starring Vin Diesel as an immortal witch hunter trying to save the world from a plague - and one which flopped both critically and commercially.

Though Diesel talked up a sequel many times over the years, it didn't seem like a realistic prospect until Lionsgate officially confirmed it last year.

Indeed, The Last Witch Hunter 2 is happening, and stranger still, a 92-year-old Michael Caine will be coming out of retirement to reprise his supporting role from the first film.

More than any other movie on this list, pretty much the only way is up here, given that the first movie scored a brutal 17% on Rotten Tomatoes

The audiences of today generally seem a little keener to embrace camp, so hopefully this sequel might take itself a bit less seriously than the first and just have fun with it. Fingers crossed.
