20 Upcoming Movie Sequels You Had No Idea About

1. Ballerina 2

Before you get excited - no, we're not talking about the John Wick spin-off Ballerina.

Ballerina, also known as Leap! in the U.S., is a 2016 animated musical comedy about an orphan girl who dreams of becoming a ballerina in the Paris Opera Ballet.

The film received broadly positive reviews, and though it didn't seem to make that much of a dent, strong showings in the U.S., France, Spain, and China allowed it to make off with $120 million at the box office against a tight budget of just $30 million.

All the same, basically nobody talked about Ballerina in the years that followed, and so it was quite the surprise that Ballerina 2 was announced back in June, with production imminently starting for an intended 2029 release.

Parisian production company Good Hero also announced development of a spin-off TV series, but considering the original film is, again, a decade old, it's baffling that they're deciding to strike while the iron is ice cold.
