35 Movie Sequels to Be Excited about in 2016 ...

By Neecey

2015 has been all about the final part of The Hunger Games, and of course, the new Star Wars. We also enjoyed Jurassic World, Spectre, Terminator Genisys, and Pitch Perfect 2. So what sequels and serial episodes can we look forward to in 2016?

p.s. we don't have trailers for the new movies so I've included the originals to remind you of what you can look forward to.

1 Alice through the Looking Glass

Tim Burton put a completely new spin on the classic Alice In Wonderland tale back in 2010. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Neighbors was one of the breakout comedies of 2014, so it makes sense that a sequel would follow in quick succession.
