A movie sequel is a film that continues the story of a previous movie, often featuring the same characters and settings. Sequels are created to build on the success of the original film, attracting both returning fans and new audiences. They can explore new plotlines, character developments, or expand the universe established in the first movie. Sequels can vary in quality and reception. Some, like The Godfather Part II or Toy Story 2, are praised for their storytelling and character depth, while others may not meet audience expectations. Despite this, sequels remain a popular way for studios to capitalize on successful franchises.
