One Twister wasn't enough. Like Aliens before it, the '90s natural disaster film, Twister, is back for another nostalgia lap, but with an s this time! Enter Twisters. Technically, the first movie had multiple tornadoes, but our ragtag group of storm-chasers never tried to stop one of those twisters dead in their tracks. That is, until now.

In Twisters, Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing) and Glen Powell (Hit Man) take on the twisters and attempt to...kill a tornado with science. Hell yeah! And it seems like audiences are into it. Twisters is expected to earn roughly $55 million at the box office this weekend (per Variety) thanks to a dual marketing and distribution effort from Warner Bros. and Universal. The sequel is also bolstered by a supporting cast including Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, future Superman David Corenswet, and TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe. Lee Isaac Chung directed the summer blockbuster, following his work guest-directing an episode of The Mandalorian, as well as his Oscar-nominated film, Minari.

Will There Be a Twisters 2?

If Twisters is as successful on opening weekend as we suspect, audiences will likely be back in their seats for more extreme weather-related antics before we even know it. A mid-credits scene following the film even sets up the potential story moving forward, where the main trio teams up to form an official storm-chasing team. Still, I can't promise that Powell, Edgar-Jones, or Chung will all return. But it's possible that a third Twister film—Twisters's? Twistered? Twisters: Tokyo Twist?!—could even follow a whole new group of tornado-wranglers. I'm already dizzy thinking about all the possibilities.
