Movie sequels that got made that you never believed would happen

What are some movies that got sequels that you never expected?

1. Star Wars Episode 7 and beyond. This is the big one, because everyone thought Star Wars was done after the prequels. Speculation of an "Episode 7" dates as far back as the 90's and people always joked about, "What if they make a new movie years later when Luke, Han and Leia are really old?" Its shocking that it actually happened.

Hell just go back in time 5 years ago and tell people there is going to be an Episode 7-9 as well as spinoff movies every year, nobody would have ever believed you.

2. The X-men film franchise continuing after X3, let alone for 16 years. Everyone thought X-men III: The Last Stand was going to be the last film. Not only because it was part of a trilogy, but also because of poor reviews and we thought the film franchise was finished besides a reboot. Little did we know the same franchise is still going with its original direction for 16 years, and Hugh Jackman is STILL playing Wolverine after all this time.

3. Jurassic Park 4. Again, because of the huge gaps in sequels, I never thought we'd get another one. It wasn't very good, but whatever.

4. Terminator. This franchise just won't stay dead. Its hard to believe we've gotten 3 sequels after T2 now.

5. Toy Story 2 and 3....and 4? A lot of people forget the huge gap in releases after the original and the sequels. Quite surprising.

There's probably more I'm forgetting too, yours?
