Spin-off is a story that did not occupy a central place in the original work (book, comic book, film, etc.).
Spin-off films rarely go unnoticed. We either love them or hate them. Some films are designed to revitalize the franchise, the task of others is to expand our knowledge of a particular fictional universe. One of the most anticipated spin-offs of 2016 is “Fantastic animals and their habitats”. This movie has already been released.
And we present to you top 7 most anticipated spin-offs of 2017-2018who are waiting for us in the future.
7. "X-Men: New Mutants"
Fox had trouble with their X-Men series as a result of the Apocalypse’s low box office and information about Hugh Jackman’s upcoming abandonment of the role of Wolverine. Now is the time to create a spin-off with an emphasis on new heroes. It is expected that in the film there will be such characters as She-wolf (werewolf), Magick (Colossus’s sister from Deadpool), Cannonball, Mirage, Sanspot, Storm and Professor H.
6. The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games franchise has always focused on Katniss Everdeen, but now the creators of the series want to make a film that will unfold 70 years before the events of the original parts. The story will tell of the rise of Panem and the leader of the Capitol.
5. The Fast and the Furious
In the new film, which the franchise producer hinted at, all attention will be focused on DSS agent Luke Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson. According to Johnson, his hero in the seventh Fast and the Furious had nowhere to turn around, and the audience wanted more. He has already confirmed his participation in the eighth Fast and the Furious, which is scheduled for 2017. Perhaps the spin-off will come next.
4. “Game of Thrones”
John Snow is one of the favorite characters in Game of Thrones, the series's top-tier for several years. And HBO does not want to miss the opportunity to exploit the popularity of a potential candidate for the Iron Throne. It is already known about plans to create not even a movie, but an entire series in which Keith Harington (the actor playing John) will be given the main role. Preliminary talks between HBO and Harington about the series began after he pledged to keep a secret about Snow's resurrection in the sixth part of Game of Thrones.
3. "Transformers"
The successful partnership of Hasbro and Michael Bay ensured a wild success for the film with the heroes of the toy line that was popular at the end of the last century. Thanks to hurricane action and nostalgia for the 80s, four franchise films have raised just under $ 4 billion worldwide. The highest-grossing series in the series was Transformers: The Dark Side of the Moon. In 2017, a fifth of Transformers will be released, Michael Bay has already announced this. And after him will be the story of the charming Autobot Bumblebee. Her exit, if everything goes according to plan, will take place on June 8, 2018. But whether Bay will direct it or let another into the chair of the “main” - time will tell.
2. "Spider-Man"
Spider-Man knows how to weave a surprisingly solid network that tightly holds fans and makes them line up in long lines at cinemas. Sam Raimi's trilogy has raised more than $ 2.5 billion. The 2007 Spider-Man 3 movie alone earned $ 890 million worldwide at the box office.
In 2016, it became known that Marvel Studios, together with Sony, took up the Venom project. It will be developed separately from the next Spiderman, in the role of which Tom Holland will act.. According to rumors, Carnage will resist Venom. And the film will receive a rating of R.
