3 days ago · Sequels are a gamble: We want the next Dark Knight or Godfather, Part II. Sometimes that’s what we get. And sometimes we walk into a dark theater, screen glowering with the malevolent flicker of...
Aug 3, 2024 · While sequels are most common in genres like sci-fi, action and horror, the best can come from any genre. Many sequels come from mega franchises like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or even...

- Don't just pick up where the last story left off. The most obvious place to begin a sequel is where the previous story ended. This is what fans are always clamoring for: “What happens next?!”
- Give the reader something new. This is the real challenge of writing a sequel. Of course, it’s the challenge of every new project—but it’s especially difficult when writing a sequel because the pressure is so intense to do more of the same.
- Make the stakes different. A different frame for the story is a good start—but it isn’t enough. There’s a big tendency in sequels to give us as much as possible of the same.
- Play with Expectations. People come to sequels of beloved works with loads of baggage—specifically, expectations. If you can get past the intimidation that comes with it, that’s a fantastic opportunity for the writer, who can confound those expectations.

Denis Villeneuve’s first Dune movie had to do quite a bit of scene-setting. Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi epic is complex, and Villeneuve wisely broke up the first book so as not to jam too much information into a single film. Still, despite great performances from the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Oscar Isaac and wondrous action sequences involving...
John Wick’s original charm lay in its simple premise: Bad guy kills puppy; good guy goes on a murderous rampage to avenge the puppy’s death. Each new John Wick installment delved deeper into the lore of Wick’s world: We learned about a guild of assassins and the fancy hotels where they lay down their guns when they need a break. The ever-evolving r...
The third installment in the Puss in Boots seriesbreathes new life into the decades-old franchise, originally a Shrek spinoff. The filmbegins with a bacchanal centered on the reckless, swashbuckling Puss (Antonio Banderas). Soon Puss finds out he’s on the last of his nine lives and must undergo some radical lifestyle changes if he hopes to survive....
Top Gun is a classic, but the souped-up Top Gun: Maverick felt miraculous at a moment when almost every other action flick devolved into a CGI morass by its final fight. Tom Cruise, impressively or notoriously, depending on your perspective, performed his own stunts and insisted on the rest of the cast (including Miles Teller and Glen Powell) learn...
Some argue that the first Mission: Impossible (1996), a taut spy thriller directed by Brian de Palma, is the standout of the series. Others favor Ghost Protocol, Brad Bird’s gravity-defying movie that resurrected the franchise in 2011. But longtime Tom Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie seems to know the star’s strengths best: Fallout offers...
Paddington delighted critics in 2015. But Hugh Grant, who plays Phoenix Buchanan, carries Paddington 2 to new heights. Grant leans into the public’s perception of him as a narcissist to play a perfectly villainous actor who wants to thwart Paddington’s plans. And in this outing, Paddington, an immigrant who fights discrimination with decency and ma...
The first Thor movie, released in 2011, was a decent but not particularly enthralling superhero film. Many critics dubbed the second one, which came out in 2013, the worst of the many Marvel movies. Let’s face it: the Norse God was a bore. His self-seriousness and faux-Shakespearean accent didn’t help. Enter Taika Waititi, an indie director with a ...
The first two Wolverine movies are among the worst in the X-Men canon. Hugh Jackman’s character continued to appear in X-Men movies, but avoided another standalone film. But James Mangold salvaged the series when he decided to go raw and gritty with the R-rated Logan. The movie managed to return to the true roots of the franchise—how to embrace wha...
Mad Max: Road Warrior (1981) upped the thrill of the original Mad Max (1979). But director George Miller truly outdid himself with his latest excursion into a post-apocalyptic world, Fury Road. It’s unclear whether Fury Road is a sequel or a reboot. But the movie is the best the series has to offer. Updates in technology make for thrilling action s...
Joe and Anthony Russo, now stewards of the Infinity War movies, cut their teeth on the second Captain America film. Captain America: The First Avenger was a solid origin story that grossed more than $370 million at the worldwide box office. But for the sequel, the Russos took the Cap out of his comfort zone by pitting the poster boy for truth and j...
