Godzilla/Monsterverse Sequel
A sequel to Godzilla vs Kong — or, perhaps more likely, the next broad entry in the Monsterverse franchise — will reportedly film in Queensland, Australia according to a new report from the Courier-Mail (via Comic Book).
The Courier-Mail, an Australian newspaper service, has reported that a new Godzilla VS Kong sequel will be shot in Queensland, providing a $120 Million boost to the economy.
What they likely mean is that this is the successor to the film, and not necessarily a direct sequel. pic.twitter.com/ByXnz6Fkzj

Squid Game
In conversation with Deadline, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk commented on the likeliness of some of the first season’s slain cast members coming back for season two.
I’ll try something to bring them back to Season 2. Let’s say maybe [HoYeon Jung] has a twin sister, you’ll see.
Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai

Meanwhile, the two and street thief Elle are pursued by a power-hungry industrialist and his growing army of evil Gremlins.
