From spectacular middle chapters like The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers or Richard Linklater’s Before Sunset, to admirable franchise entries that flesh out shared universes like Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Hugh Jackman in Logan all the way to the more nebulous spiritual sequels and thematic trilogies that get us film nerds all hot and bothered with filmmakers like Ingmar Bergman, Martin Scorsese, Ozu, Park Chan-wook and more, business is good out there for sequels and we’re name-checking them all!
