Summer of '84 is the one horror movie that I actively want a sequel to. > **[Summer of 84 (2018) ⭐ 6.7 | Drama, Horror, Mystery](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5774450/)** > > 1h 45m | Not Rated The ending… …The killer gets away and promises to come after the main character someday. Set the sequel some years later–I like “Winter of '91” for a title. ---

There should be either a sequel or a prequel to Edge of Tomorrow. Not because it is necessarily _needed_ but because the title jumps out at you. It should focus on Rita Vrataski and would have to be called: “Edge of Tomorrow 2: Full Metal Bitch” ---

Master And Commander, even had a tentative plan to do so, but apparently didn’t _quite_ make enough money to warrant the sequel(s). ---

_Okja_ (2017), the story of teenage girl and her beloved super pig, seems to call for a sequel. The sequel to _Alienoid_ (2022) still doesn’t have a release date, although it was filmed simultaneously with the first film. I am waiting! ---

For that matter, two of Sho Kosugi’s children are both actors and martial artists. They should make some new ninja movies. ---

I always felt there should a sequel to The Bodyguard. I thought Frank Farmer was a cool character, and I wanted to see more of his bodyguarding adventures. Drop the romance, and make it a full on action thriller. ---

There’s been a movie prequel, numerous different sequels in comic book, video game, and proposed TV series forms, and constant threats of a remake, but THE THING (1982) should have had at least one actual sequel with the original surviving cast. I like the comic book idea, have it take place immediately after the events of the movie and have the base survivors be rescued only for the rescue mission to go horribly wrong. ---

Master and Commander is one of my favourite films. Sadly I think the ship has sailed on a sequel there… ---

_Push_ (2009) was a well-made SF action thriller and was clearly intended as the first piece in a series. They left plenty of unresolved plotlines for the sequels. But the movie didn’t perform that well and the sequels were never made. I guess Chris Evans wasn’t able to carry a comic book based franchise. ---

Great choice! That movie surprised me, I didn’t expect to watch more than 10 minutes when it suddenly grabbed me. A prequel is needed at a minimum. ---

There is a prequel of sorts. It’s the comic book I mentioned, which was set before the events of the movie. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-that-need-ed-sequels/987004.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/movies-that-need-ed-sequels/987004.md?page=3)
