So, looking at the next couple of years, we’re basically staring down a tidal wave of sequels to cult films—everything from a new Rambo or Rocky VI, to The Terminator, Indiana Jones, and maybe even a Mad Max revival, though I wouldn't hold my breath on that last one... Given the track record of these reboots, which of these actually stands a chance of being a decent movie...

As a huge Star Trek fan, I’m really crossing my fingers that the eleventh installment, currently under the working title Star Trek: The Next Generation, actually turns out to be the best one yet. We've got the highly acclaimed Steven Spielberg (Band of Brothers) handling the script, and even Bryan Singer is reportedly eyeing the director's chair. The story is set to unfold a few years after the events of Star Trek: Enterprise, centering on the Romulan War and the early days of The Federation. It's looking like a fall 2007 release.

The big question remains, though: will they stick with this prequel concept featuring an entirely new crew, or will Paramount Pictures pivot toward a movie featuring the cast from Deep Space Nine, The Next Generation, or maybe even a mashup of both? Personally, I'd be stoked to see either an Enterprise film or something centered on Deep Space Nine.

Looking at the rest of the lineup, I am seriously hyped for the return of the legendary Sly in Rambo IV and Rocky VI. I'm also hoping Schwarzenegger finally clears his schedule for The Terminator IV, and specifically for the third Conan installment, titled Conan the Barbarian, where Arnold Schwarzenegger mentioned he'd love to see Dwayne Johnson play his son to finally tell the epic tale of how he became a great king.

Then there's the usual suspects like Superman and X-Men: The Last Stand, plus the sequel to Gladiator, which Russell Crowe is supposedly interested in. But since his character died in the first movie, rumors are swirling about either a prequel showing how Maximus became a general, or a sequel set twenty years later starring a nephew of the Komodo Dragon, with Russell Crowe appearing in flashbacks.

It’s looking genuinely promising... I honestly can't make up my mind. ☕

If even one of those titles turns out to be half as good as the original, I’ll consider it a win.
That doesn't mean I'm going to watch everything on the list, or that they'll all actually get made...

Maybe we could even see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest too.

Statistically speaking, there’s gotta be at least one decent sequel in that bunch!
I'm putting my money on The Terminator.
But honestly? I love them all—they've got a special place in my heart—so I’ll probably end up binge-watching the whole lot anyway.

Even if things turn out to be absolute garbage, I suppose I’ll be doing just fine, briefly speaking. 😬

The only thing I'm actually looking forward to is the sequel to a cult film 😁
And Indiana.

I really hope the sequel to a cult film can fix things after that third one was such a disaster.

I didn't think the third one was a total disaster. Tina Turner was hot 😬

I reckon Indiana Jones will be pretty much unstoppable...

Maybe Die Hard could actually turn out to be decent...

but as for Mad Max, I highly doubt they'll even bother making one.

It looks like they’re moving forward with the next Mad Max installment regardless of whether Mel Gibson returns or not...

Man, I really hope they don't mess up the sequels to Rambo and Rocky. Those two franchises have definitely seen better days—too many bad follow-ups, you know?

I think IMDb says it's coming out in 2007 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/

There is absolutely no way this is true.

Star Trek: The Beginning... oh my goodness, how many more "beginnings" am I going to have to sit through?🤣

...honestly, I would give anything if they’d just stop making sequels once and for all... 😢

Die Hard is the one with the most potential. Honestly, the main guy looks like he barely aged at all. 🤣

All we’re missing now is them filming yet another Beverly Hills cop movie 😂

Another Political Academy—now that would be something! And honestly, when are we finally going to see some fresh faces stepping into the roles of the next Ghostbusters?

Personally, I think I’d really love to see something fresh on the screen for a change. For instance, maybe we could finally get some cinematic adaptations based on Asimov's Foundation series or perhaps even Simmons' Hyperion.
