Movie Sequels Coming Out in 2019

Put Your Hands Together For the 10 Most Anticipated Sequels of 2019

We're about to be very happy in 2019 when our favourite film franchises make some new additions to the pantheon. From kids' movies to horror to superheroes to the most beloved space opera of all time, there's a little something for everyone this coming year. While Star Wars: Episode IX is definitely generating the most buzz, we'd be lying if we said Tom Hanks and Tim Allen's recent comments about crying while recording the final scene for Toy Story 4 don't have us circling June 21 on the calendar.

5. John Wick: Chapter 3

After an out-of-nowhere hit in 2014 and a roller-coaster sequel in 2017, Keanu Reeves is back for the third instalment that sees the title character on the run after killing a High Table member inside the Continental. There's a $14 million contract out on his life as he fights his way out of New York City. Halle Berry and Ruby Rose join in the fun this time around as assassins, while Ian McShane plays the owner of the Continental Hotel and Laurence Fishburne stars as a crime lord known as the Bowery King.

Release date: May 17

6. The Secret Life of Pets 2

This follow-up to the 2016 hit sees Patton Oswalt taking over as the voice of Jack Russell Terrier Max, who was voiced by comedian Louis C.K. in the original. This time around, our intrepid hero pets Max, Duke (Eric Stonestreet), Snowball (Kevin Hart), Chloe (Lake Bell), Buddy (Hannibal Buress) and Pops (Dana Carvey) are joined by some new pets voiced by Tiffany Haddish, Nick Kroll, Pete Holmes, and Harrison Ford.

7. Toy Story 4

Details are scarce so far about the exact plot, but we do know Veep star Tony Hale, Keanu Reeves, and comedy duo Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are joining the voice cast. We also know the ending is going to hit you right in the heartstrings, so pack the tissues.

Release date: June 21

8. Spider-Man: Far From Home

This sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his friends vacationing in Europe when disaster strikes in the form of Adrian Toomes as the villain Vulture (Michael Keaton). How great is it that they nabbed the original silver-screen Batman to play a Marvel villain?

Release date: July 5

9. It: Chapter Two

After the It remake took horror fans by storm in 2017, hold onto your hats for the sequel, because it is apparently going to be even scarier than its predecessor. Not only can the writers up the ante because they're now using adult actors instead of kids, but there is also a Pennywise origin story that star Bill Skarsgard called "really, really disturbing" on Variety's Playback podcast.

Release date: Sept. 6

10. Star Wars: Episode IX

Is this the final Star Wars instalment that will ever grace the silver screen? Nope. But it will certainly wrap up the sequel trilogy starring Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and John Boyega, picking up where The Last Jedi left off: the Resistance has been reduced to a few fighters on the Millennium Falcon, and Kylo Ren (Driver) is leading the First Order. This just may be the most anticipated film of 2019, and it doesn't even come out until late December.

Release date: Dec. 20
