Get ready for a ton of sequels, threequels and prequels coming to the big screen in 2024, including some movies that were delayed due to the Hollywood strikes.
Although the actors and writers strikes may have pushed back production and release dates for some films, moviegoers will still have plenty of choices in the coming year. If superheroes and comic book movies are your thing, there’s plenty of choices, from “Madame Web” and “Deadpool 3” to “Venom 3” and “Joker: Folie a Deux.”
Other anticipated sequels include “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” “Kung Fu Panda 4,” “Inside Out 2,” “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” and “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.”
Notable filmmakers in the mix include George Miller with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” Luca Guadagnino with “Challengers” and “Minari” director Lee Isaac Chung with “Twisters.” Francis Ford Coppola will unleash his long-in-the-works “Megalopolis” in September, while Ridley Scott returns for “Gladiator II,” 24 years after the original.
And horror fans will also have plenty of scares, including sequels “A Quiet Place: Day One” and “MaXXXine.” Later in the year, check out “Terrifier 3” and “Smile 2” ahead of Halloween.
So get ready for what will hopefully be a blockbuster year at the box office with these upcoming titles.
