Sometimes sequels get made that weren't particularly wanted, but when given a chance, audiences find them fantastic and are glad they happened.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Sometimes, a movie sequel nobody really wanted turns out to be great. For various reasons, countless sequels have been deemed unnecessary and judged harshly before anyone gave them a chance, only to turn out fantastic and, in many cases, considerably better than their predecessors. Even some of the best movie franchises were born from sequels that were not necessarily needed.

8 The Suicide Squad Suicide Squad is one of the worst superhero movies. While its stars are talented, they were underutilized. It looks terrible, is poorly written, and has a confusing plot, and Jared Leto's Joker did not work at all. Therefore, a sequel wasn't wanted or expected. However, James Gunn took the reins and delivered a standalone follow-up that bore little resemblance to its predecessor, improving on it massively.

5 Gremlins 2: The New Batch While it's incorrect to say nobody wanted a sequel to Gremlins, it's accurate to say nobody wanted The New Batch​​​​​. The original 1984 film is a comedy horror with more emphasis on horror. Gremlins 2: The New Batch is more comedy-focused and essentially a parody of its predecessor.
