Only if Kathryn Bigelow is involved. I dread someone trying this and ending up with someone worse than Point Break.
Someone needs to resurrect William Goldman long enough to finish Buttercup's Baby while Cary Elwes and Robin Wright are still beautiful.
Stand by Me. The movie came out in 1986 but it is set in 1959...so 40 years later, the sequel is set in 1999. If anyone could write an awesome sequel, it'd be Stephen King.
Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. It's an amazing setting and if you put some leads with actual chemistry in a sequel it could do well.

I would love to see a sequel to Chappie, I don't think no one talks about it enough, the plt has a couple of holes, but the movie as a whole was perfect in my opinion.
Jupiter Ascending should have been a trilogy. It's garbage but in that beautiful way that overdramatic high sci-fi fantasy that thinks it has some deep societal moral to impart is, and I just really loved having just one with a female protagonist and her himbo love interest.
@Apytele @FenrirIII I think the problem was that it was garbage, but not the right kind of garbage. I'd rather have another JA than yet another Transformers

I thought longer than I'd like to admit to, I think Everything Everywhere All At Once could have a decent fun sequel.
I don't know. Most good movies already have sequels, and I can't think of many movies without sequels that I could say I enjoyed or that I would love to see a sequel of.
Usually sequels ruin the first part or don't live up to the standard, so in general I wouldn't push for this.
