Director: Roland Emmerich
Cast: TBC
Genre: Sci-Fi Sequel
Plot: Emmerich returns for two back-to-back sequels to the 1996 sci-fi action blockbuster, with stories that explore a world that's embraced the alien technology it was originally attacked with. 25 years down the line, humanity may have not fully harnessed the power of the alien tech, but they've utilised it as best as they can. Character-wise, it's set to focus on the step-son of Will Smith's character and a new generation of embittered freedom fighters as the aliens return to wage war on Earth.

James Bond 24
Director: Sam Mendes

Genre: Action Thriller
Plot: At the moment, everything's speculation. But being as it is a Bond movie, there's a whole lotta speculation to rifle through. The most prominent rumours at the moment? Penelope Cruz's being tapped to play a Bond girl! But that all tends to change on a daily basis, so who knows?

X-Force
Director: Jeff Wadlow
Cast: TBC
Genre: Comic Book Actioner
Plot: Mark Millar's the man behind the evolution of Fox's Marvel cinematic universe, but he's keeping schtum on the next X-Men spin-off. Fans will be kept busy guessing which incarnation of the mutant team it'll focus on, but we're going to put bets on a harder, more R-Rated foray into the morally dubious, complex world of an X-Men wet works team. And with the director of Kick-Ass 2 on board to helm and write, it certainly feels like it could be a darker superhero flick than fans of the merry mutants are used to.

Prometheus 2
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: TBC
Genre : Sci-fi
Plot: At this early stage ( Prometheus 2 hasn't actually received an official green light yet), any plot details are being firmly guarded by a slathering xenomorph (we assume). A script is written, though (by Jack Paglen), and Ridley Scott's keen on returning for more alien artery-bothering. Expect the plot to pick up where Prometheus left off, with android David (Michael Fassbender) accompanying Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) on a deadly quest among the stars.
