2024 has been a blockbuster year for sequels. Movies like Deadpool and Wolverine, Bad Boys for Life, Inside Out 2 and Dune 2 have all topped the box office this year. Here are three highly anticipated sequels to end 2024.
Joker: Folie a Deux
Joker: Folie a Deux, which means madness for two in French, is a highly anticipated movie. With returning director Todd Phillips, Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, costarring him is Grammy-winning artist Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn.
The film will be a jukebox musical with tons of unique song choices.
Many fans are hopeful the sequel will live up to the original, which was the highest-grossing R-rated movie at the time of its release. Joker: Folie a Deux releases on October 4, 2024.
Gladiator 2
Gladiator 2 is a sequel to the Gladiator (2000) film directed by Alien director Ridley Scott. Gladiator 2 stars Denzel Washington, Pedro Pascal, Paul Mescal and Joseph Quinn.
The movie does not have a main returning cast. However, it does have a few returning characters, including a senator who conspired against Russel Crowe’s character in the original.
Gladiator 2 releases on November 22, 2024, after almost 20 years of delays.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the third movie in the live-action Sonic franchise, which has been successful ever since the online backlash of the 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog trailer.
The film has a large returning cast, including Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnic, James Marsden as Tom Wachowski and Ben Schwartz as Sonic.
However, it has a big new cast member, Keanu Reeves, who will play Shadow, an antagonist in the movie. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 comes out on December 20, 2024.
