TBH, I really miss going to the movie theater. That smell of fresh popcorn covered in liquid butter? Really gets my endorphins flowing!!! I'm fine. And I'm not alone, of course. We all miss seeing the horror movie killers that refuse to die and comedies that make us laugh till we cry while in a dark room full of strangers surrounded by fallen Raisinets. And don't even get me started on how action-packed superhero and spy movies *must* be viewed on a big screen. Well, it's okay everyone. The movie theaters are bound to open back up eventually, and when they do, audiences can expect an awesome lineup of sequels, threequels, fourquels (is that a word? No? Cool.) awaiting their arrival at the ticket counter. So grab yourself some of that microwaved popcorn (it'll have to do for now) and get cozy: here are 50 movie sequels coming soon. (The good news: you can stream all the O.G.s right now while you wait.)
