"Meet the Fockers"

After "Meet the Parents," what could be next? The wedding, of course, where audiences will get a chance to "Meet the Fockers." According to Variety, Ben Stiller has agreed to return as Gaylord Focker, with Robert De Niro reprising his role as well. The only problem is getting the two highly sought-after actors (and the first film's director, Jay Roach) to agree to make this their next project.

"Mission: Impossible 3"

Work is moving ahead on "MI:3," with Tom Cruise again set to star and co-produce (see "'Panic Room' Director Tapped For 'Mission: Impossible 3") Fans are likely to see more secret agent action and rubber masks.

"Ocean's Twelve"

The ensemble heist flick "Ocean's Eleven" was itself a remake of the classic Rat Pack film of the same name, making news of Warner Bros.' plans for a sequel a bit strange. While the studio hired Ted Griffin, the 2001 film's scribe, to get cracking on "Ocean's Twelve," it's far too early too determine whether or not George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, et al, will return.

"Once Upon a Time in Mexico"

"Desperado," writer/director Robert Rodriguez's remake of his own "El Mariachi," featured breakout performances from then-relative unknowns Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek. Rodriguez is now helming "Once Upon a Time in Mexico," a.k.a. "Desperado 2," for Columbia, with Banderas, Hayek and Cheech Marin reprising their roles from the 1995 original. "Once Upon a Time in Mexico" also features Mickey Rourke and pop star Enrique Iglesias (see "Enrique Iglesias: The Great Escape"), as well as Johnny Depp as a corrupt government agent.

"Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?"

Nothing more than a title has been announced about this follow-up to 2000's dumb-guy comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?," which starred Seann William Scott and Ashton Kutcher. A source at New Line said the film is in its earliest stages of development.

"Seven 2"

In perhaps the shakiest premise of all sequel news, it's rumored that New Line plans to lure Morgan Freeman aboard another "Seven," based on a reworking of a separate project called "Solace" involving a psychic cop chasing a similarly psychic serial killer. Freeman told MTV News that he's heard about "Seven 2" and that he has yet to be approached.

Whether or not he agrees to star, Morgan Freeman is expected to return as Alex Cross in "Roses Are Red," a third movie based on James Patterson's series of novels about a driven detective. The first was 1997's "Kiss the Girls"; last year's "Along Came a Spider" was the second.

"Spider-Man 2"

Hot on the heels of a record breaking $114 million dollar opening weekend (see " 'Spider-Man' Breaks Box-Office Record"), Columbia Pictures has announced a release date for "Spider-Man 2": May 7, 2004.

Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi are all back on board. As for the plot, nothing official has been announced, though the first film does offer many clues with which one can make some educated guesses.

In the comic books, Norman Osborn's son Harry (played in the film by James Franco) becomes a second Green Goblin, which is hinted at in one of the movie's closing moments. In an earlier scene, Peter Parker mentions a "Dr. Connors," which fans recognize as Dr. Curtis Connors, a.k.a. Spidey nemesis the Lizard. "Eddie" is also name checked in a scene at the Daily Bugle. In Marvel lore, Bugle photographer Eddie Brock becomes brain-eating Spidey villain Venom. A young woman who looks suspiciously like diamond thief/ Spider-Man love interest the Black Cat is also visible in the flick, all webbed up after stealing, well, some diamonds. Early drafts of the first film's script were rumored to include Dr. Octopus, who may likely show up in "Spider-Man 2" as well.

The folks at Columbia are staying tight-lipped about "Spider-Man 2," offering only that they are "excited" (duh!) to be involved with a second Spidey feature.

"T3: Rise of the Machines"

"I'll be back," he said, and he is. "The Terminator," Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger, is making good on his promise, even if director James Cameron, co-star Linda Hamilton and "T2" hero Edward Furlong are not.

"U-571" director Jonathan Mostow has stepped in for Cameron, with "In the Bedroom" heartthrob Nick Stahl replacing Eddie as John Connor. Claire Danes just signed on as Connor's love interest, replacing actress Sophia Bush.

"T3" sees John Connor, now an adult, struggling to prevent the man-against-machine conflict foretold in the first two movies. This time the techno baddies send a female "T-X," played by Norwegian newcomer Kristanna Loken, to "terminate" him. As in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," the resistance re-programs a T-800 model, i.e. Ah-nuld, to protect Connor.

Also in the works ...

"Analyze That," a follow-up to "Analyze This," the "Sopranos"-like Billy Crystal/ Robert De Niro farce about a mobster and his psychiatrist; "Cats and Dogs 2"; "Miss Congeniality 2," a sequel to the 2000 Sandra Bullock comedy; "Stuart Little 2"; this summer's "Men in Black 2"; and the (mostly finished) second and third installments of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Follow-ups to Marvel movie properties "X-Men" (tentatively titled "X2," with Bryan Singer again directing and the principal cast returning) and "Blade" are also moving ahead.
