Toy Story 5 will likely be more in line with the fourth film than the first and Avengers: Doomsday is a bit of a wildcard, but these sequels? They could very well beat the film that kicked off their respective franchises (or eras of said franchise).
5) Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Given how Scream 7 is, quite unfortunately, weak, it’s hard for a Ghostface fan not to wish Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett had returned to the franchise. But Ready or Not 2: Here I Come is one hell of a consolation prize, and, let’s face it, the Carpenter sisters, their true contribution to Scream, had seen their narratives wrap up.
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come looks to have lost none of the spirit of their 2019 modern horror comedy horror classic. The directors and star Samara Weaving appear to be in top form and Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and David Cronenberg are all exciting newcomers. Ready or Not, Scream, Scream VI, and Abigail is an impressive winning streak, and it’s really hard to imagine Here I Come breaking that.
4) Jackass 5
While Jackass Number Two is still the apex of the franchise, Jackass Forever received the best critical reception. And deservedly so, because it was the reunion comedy film that American Reunion only tried to be.
Truth be told, it’s a little surprising Johnny Knoxville and crew are giving it one “final” (they always say that…though this likely is the final one) go. Suffice to say Knoxville won’t be getting in the ring with any bulls this time, but Forever is so fun that it makes the fifth film a pleasant surprise instead of one that makes us scratch our heads wondering if we need it. It will be good to spend some more time with the gang (not to mention standout Forever newcomers Sean “Poopies” McInerney and Rachel Wolfson). Like the film that preceded it, Jackass 5 could surpass the quality of Jackass: The Movie, though probably not Jackass Number Two.
3) The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
The ’90s version of a Mario movie definitely made it seem like this was one property that wouldn’t quite work as a film, but The Super Mario Bros. Movie put that notion to rest well and good. With beautiful animation and a few inspired casting choices it was a lot of fun for the whole family.
But The Super Mario Galaxy Movie looks even more ambitious, and just as visually impressive. We also have noted gamer Brie Larson joining the group, and there’s little doubt her joy will be palpable. The marketing materials hint at an experience that is both silly and emotional, and it could very well beat the first film at its own game (though Chris Pratt’s Mario voice is still pretty iffy).
