UPCOMING MOVIE SEQUELS

The cinema still shines as one of the best ways to enjoy blockbuster films, especially upon release

However, when Damian, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, resurfaces after serving time in prison, Adonis is tempted by an offer he can’t refuse. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight, it is a war for which Adonis must put his future on the line. Damian, however, has nothing to lose.

Scream Vi

The sixth official entry into the critically acclaimed satire horror slasher film series brings the Ghostface killer to New York City, where they hunt Jenna Ortega’s Tara and Melissa Barrera’s Sam Carpenter, after the survivors attempt to leave Woodsboro behind for a fresh start. The previous instalment in the franchise was, although billed as a relaunch of the series, a direct sequel to Scream 4, meaning Scream VI will simply continue the narrative, making it a sequel to Scream 5, aka Scream (2020). Scream VI is set for release in UK cinemas on March 10th.

SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS

The long-awaited sequel 2019 DCEU film Shazam! will revolve around foster kid Billy Batson (played by Asher Angel) who gains the ability to transform into a superhero, played by Zachary Levi, each and every time he says the word Shazam. The first film saw Batson having fun while testing out his newfound powers, but in the sequel we are expected to see the character undergo some maturity in using his powers. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is set for release in UK cinemas on March 17th.

JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4

John Wick has a price on his head, and it’s everincreasing. In this third sequel, Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin. Without a single disappointing entry in the series thus far, fans can expect another awesome ride. John Wick: Chapter 4 is due to be released into UK cinemas on March 24th.

Movie sequels aren’t just craved by fans, they are also increasing in quality as more and more of them are being made. Some of the best films ever produced are sequels, and although they are, by definition, fundamentally inferior in originality when pitted against their predecessor(s), films like Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens still feature in the top four highest grossing films of all time. So, here are our top picks of upcoming sequels to enjoy.
