'Glass'
M. Night Shyamalan combines two of his biggest hits (Unbreakable and Split) that will reunite David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) after nearly two decades. Add James McAvoy into the mix as The Beast and what you have is the motherf*cker of all sequels, as Jackson would probably say.

'Rambo 5: Last Blood'

'Hellboy'
The cult comic book anti-hero has been dug up for a reboot. It's an entirely new team behind this edition with Neil Marshall taking over for Guillermo del Toro and David Harbour (Stranger Things) donning the title role. By the looks of the trailer, it seems like a monster mash-up of horror-CGI action and Deadpool comedy.
