5 Movie Classics Sequels that Will Make People Talk in 2023

By 2023 there will be a wide range of great movie releases. Many franchises will have their rebirth with sequels or prequels, such as the case of "Wonka" on December 15. Filming of "Gladiator 2" is expected to begin in May in Morocco, with Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix as protagonists. The film, directed by Peter Craig, would follow the story of Lucius, Commodus's nephew.

Additionally, there are other titles that will have their return in style in the coming years and that will be in 2023 with a pre-production, filming, or launch phase. For example, "Hancock 2", which was left in limbo after the event at the Oscars with Will Smith and Chris Rock.

Pre-production has been rumored for the fourth “Austin Powers” film, the third for “Kill Bill” or the fourth for “Bad Boys”, after the third that was released in 2020. It will also be released on December 20, 2023, a new film based on "The Color Purple" with which Steven Spielberg shone in 1985.

Next, we leave another five films that will be released during 2023, or that are in the pre-production process. Among them, films of different genres with more than a decade of difference with respect to their predecessor films stand out.

"The Exorcist"

Despite the fact that the horror classic already ended its three-film saga in 1990 with a prequel in 2004, a new film based on the first installment of "The Exorcist" will be released in October of this year. The feature film will be directed by David Gordon Green, who also directed the "Halloween" saga.

"Beetlejuice 2"

In the horror and comedy genre, "Beetlejuice" will always be one of the leading films of the late 80s. Since last year, it was announced that the sequel would be directed by Tim Burton and would star Winona Ryder ("Stranger Things" ) and Michael Keaton (“Batman”). The year in which it would be released is 2025, and it is still in pre-production.
