(SPOT.ph) Some films are good on their own, but there are some titles that make you ask what’s next, or leave you missing characters you love. The whole Marvel Cinematic Universe, for example, took several movies to explore their characters, and it’s hard to imagine the world with just one superhero film in the MCU. There are some, like Toy Story, that are already pretty good on their own, but additional installments end up giving audiences the same experience that made the first a success to begin with. 2020 sees the release of several movie sequels, and we round up 10 you wouldn’t want to miss.

These cool movie sequels are coming out this year:

A Quiet Place: Part II

Release date: March 18

Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) must now escape the four walls of her home and bring her kids Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Marcus (Noah Jupe) to safety.

F9 (Fast & Furious 9)

Release date: May 20

There’s always a Fast & Furious film to look forward to, and while the sequel still follows Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), it also features the return of a familiar and beloved character fans thought they would never see again: Han (Sung Kang) from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006). This time, Dominic must go against his younger brother Jakob (John Cena) who is working with an old foe (Charlize Theron). If the trailer is anything to go by, you can count on the same thrilling car-chase scenes and action sequences that the franchise is known for.

Very little is known about the third film in the Legally Blonde franchise, but we’re hoping it marks the return of Reese Witherspoon as lawyer Elle Woods. You saw Elle navigate the halls of Harvard Law in the first movie, and you saw her deal with more cases in the second, but now we’re hoping to see Attorney Elle Woods in action and say “Your Honor” as a full-fledged lawyer—in a pink ensemble, of course!

Top Gun: Maverick

Fans of the original Top Gun would already know that Tom Cruise will reprise his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the upcoming sequel. After 30 years of high-profile missions and high-risk flights, the determined pilot makes a return to the field to teach the next generation of flyers a thing or two about the skies, and what it takes to make the ultimate sacrifice. Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer, who plays Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, also star in the film.
