10 Most Ambitious Movie Franchises of All Time, Ranked
Movie franchises are the bread and butter for every movie studio. These movies are mass entertainers and can bring a boatload of money that can power the studio for years to come. Take Star Wars, which started in 1977 and remains a recognizable title almost 50 years later. The right franchise can spark a new trend in cinema. Just a decade ago, Hollywood was in the fantasy-adventure era with movies like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean, then it went to the young adult era with Twilight and The Hunger Games, and now it is still firmly in the superhero trend.
Here, we take a look at some of the most ambitious film franchises of all time. Some reshaped filmmaking through technological breakthroughs, and a few aimed high before ultimately collapsing under their own weight. Whether they succeeded, stumbled, or did a bit of both, each reflects a moment where ambition, and maybe the promise of box office gold, is the driving power.

‘Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’ (2018–2024)
Sony’s Spider-Man Universe set out to build an MCU-inspired franchise centered on the hero’s rogue gallery of villains, beginning with Venom. The idea was to establish a parallel universe that could eventually intersect with Spider-Man himself. The franchise released six movies, including Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter, without Spider-Man ever appearing.
Sony must be appreciated for its (blind) ambition to build a cinematic universe to rival the MCU. While Venom went on to conclude its trilogy, the other movies mostly became memes and laughingstocks, with Morbius and Madame Web struggling with tone and narrative coherence. The franchise aimed to replicate the interconnected success of the MCU, but without clarity. For example, the end of Venom: Let There Be Carnage promised that Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock would seek out Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man, but that was quickly dismissed. Madame Web also teased the appearance of Peter Parker, but the timeline wasn’t clear. After diminishing returns, Sony finally came to its senses and seemingly cancelled the universe.

‘DC Extended Universe’ (2013–2023)
Playing catch-up to the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC aimed to create a darker, more mythic version with the DC Extended Universe. Turning the standalone Man of Steel into the franchise starter, it expanded quickly with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which not only featured Batman and Wonder Woman but also teased other heroes and future storylines. A total of 11 films were planned afterwards, but only five were released. Ten other films in the franchise were not part of the original slate.
With Zack Snyder as its main architect, it’s clear that the DCEU would never be similar to its Marvel counterpart. However, Warner Bros. caved in after the unexpected reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and they started to tinker with Suicide Squad and Justice League, trying to make them lighter and fun, resulting in an uneven mess that couldn’t be repaired. There are great, successful movies in the franchise, like Wonder Woman or James Gunn‘s The Suicide Squad, but ultimately, studio interference and creative clashes killed the DCEU.
8
‘Dune’ (2021–2026)
After David Lynch‘s attempt in 1986, Denis Villeneuve adapted Frank Herbert’s dense, politically charged Dune with a measured, atmospheric approach. Rather than condensing the rich story into a single film, Villeneuve opted to split the story into two to give its world and ideas room to breathe. With a star-studded ensemble led by Timothée Chalamet, the film quickly became a critics’ and audiences’ favorite.
Villeneuve made a huge gamble with Dune. The first film literally ends at the midpoint of the story, and the sequel was not filmed back-to-back. If critics rejected the film or if it didn’t turn enough profit, the follow-up would not see the light of day. To make things worse, it was released post-COVID, released simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. However, Dune was a commercial success and was nominated for a whopping ten Oscars, winning six. The sequel, which offers the payoff, was equally beloved by audiences and critics. After making two films that can be considered among the best sci-fi films in recent memory, Villeneuve and the cast are now prepping the third film, which is due to be released in December 2026.
7
‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ (2003–2017)
Based on a Disneyland theme park ride, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl defied the odds and became a runaway hit. Two sequels, Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End, were greenlit soon after with Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley returning alongside director Gore Verbinski. The sequels followed the trio as Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) demands that Jack Sparrow pay his debt, and the East India Trading Company attempts to eradicate piracy.
The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is blockbuster filmmaking at its finest. The films are not interested in simple storylines, but they have a complex, ambitious plot that sees each character team up and betray one another. Some may say it’s unnecessarily convoluted, yet it’s riveting and unexpected until the end. The production of the second and third films was notoriously intricate as they were filmed back-to-back. With lots of on-location shoots, enormous practical sets, and amazing CGI effects, the budget was high, with At World’s End becoming the most expensive film at its time. All of that paid off with a spectacular box office gross. The next two sequels, however, opted for the safe route and were far less exciting.
6
‘Star Wars’ (1977–present)
From the very first film in 1977, Star Wars has always been ambitious. From pioneering revolutionary effects and sound design to intricate world-building. The main story is about the Skywalker Saga, following Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and later Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). The franchise is expanding even more with spin-offs like Rogue One and acclaimed series like Andor and The Clone Wars.
Each new Star Wars project carries the burden of decades of lore and fan expectations. The team behind each Star Wars entry tries to keep it fresh while also respecting what came before. The projects usually have top-tier talent and spare no budget (currently, The Force Awakens holds the title of being the most expensive film of all time). Some have argued that currently the franchise is in a limbo, but considering how beloved and relevant it is, it’s unlikely that Star Wars is retiring any time soon.
5
‘The Matrix’ (1999–2021)
The Matrix introduced a cyberpunk world where reality itself is a simulation by following Neo’s (Keanu Reeves) journey to fulfill his destiny as The One. The first film is a generational achievement, blending philosophy and sci-fi action in a seamless manner, and its success led to sequels that expanded the mythology and criticized popular culture.
The franchise’s complex storyline is already ambitious for its time, but then The Wachowskis also pushed the envelope by pioneering visual techniques like the famous bullet time. The sequels, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, were filmed back-to-back with bigger ideas and even bigger action sequences. The highway chase in Reloaded is still regarded as one of the best action sequences of all time. Recently, instead of crafting an easy legacy sequel, Lana Wachowski created a subversive film in The Matrix Resurrections that defies audiences’ expectations, showing that ambition is still in the franchise’s DNA.
4
‘Harry Potter’ (2001–2011)
The Harry Potter series chronicles the journey of the titular young wizard as he studies at Hogwarts and confronts the darkness in the magical world. Over eight films, the franchise matured alongside its audience, transitioning from whimsical, family-friendly fantasy to a coming-of-age drama with a darker plot. The main trio is played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, but the series also boasts the best of British actors in the supporting roles.
Releasing eight films within the span of ten years is almost unheard of today. The franchise’s ambition is evident in how it committed to long-term planning and commitment. The pre-production of the next film usually started when the previous film had not even finished filming, and the production process could take up to a year for each movie. It was also able to retain the same core actors across the decade, reflecting the actual growth of the characters. As a result, the Potter movies are beloved all over the world. The franchise has been a merchandising gold mine and immortalized in theme parks and massive studio tours.
3
‘Avatar’ (2009–present)
James Cameron’s Avatar franchise is set on the lush alien world of Pandora and follows Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), who integrates with the native community through the avatar technology. The films may have familiar plots, but the technological aspects of the franchise are simply mindblowing. The films utilized revolutionary performance capture for the actors playing the Na’Vi and created the whole planet from scratch through CGI.
Avatar is deeply ambitious for its innovation and also linguistic aspects, with the franchise creating a whole new language system for the Na’Vi people. The sequels, Avatar: The Way of Water and Avatar: Fire and Ash, featured even more complicated effects where the actors had to act underwater and have their performances translated into their CG characters. Entire workflows were created specifically for this franchise, from virtual production to 3D exhibition standards. Considering the intricate production process, it’s no wonder that the final film is slated to be released in 2031.
2
‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ (2008–present)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe began modestly with Iron Man, but with a sneaky post-credit scene that teased future team-up films, it evolved into an interconnected web of films and characters. Over time, it introduced dozens of heroes and villains while building toward large-scale crossover events like The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame. The franchise expanded even bigger with TV series like Agents of SHIELD and various Disney+ shows.
Across five game-changing phases, Kevin Feige’s approach to the MCU turned blockbuster filmmaking into something similar to long-form television, but with massive budgets and A-list talent showcased in cinemas. No franchise had ever attempted serialized storytelling across so many films with such narrative continuity. The scheduling of the actors in Avengers: Endgame alone seems like a nightmare, and they’re attempting a bigger one with Avengers: Doomsday. This kind of cinematic universe sparked a lot of imitators, but so far, none have come close to replicating Marvel’s overwhelming success.
1
‘The Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy (2001–2003)
Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy adapts J.R.R. Tolkien’s monumental fantasy book, following the journey of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and the Fellowship as they attempt to destroy the One Ring. Jackson was not a household name when the movie started production, nor were the actors in the ensemble, making it a risky yet ambitious production.
All three films in the trilogy were shot back-to-back, showing the studio’s confidence in the property. The shooting schedule, which is not in chronological order, was also an ambitious feat. The most famous example is when Ian McKellen shot his farewell with the Hobbits in his first week of filming. Jackson and his team benefited greatly from his ongoing partnership with Weta Workshop and Weta Digital, which are now among the best at making practical effects and CGI. The trilogy is considered among the best fantasy films and is considered a masterpiece in cinema.

Things got tense on the road this week for 2 Chainz. Recently, he shared footage of a spicy confrontation that had fans doing a double-take. At first glance, it seemed like just another traffic scuffle. However, the woman turned up the heat when she accused the rapper of owing her dad money.

2 Chainz Confronted Over Alleged Debt On Atlanta Street
In the video posted to his social media, an unidentified woman in a nearby car was seen gesturing wildly and yelling at 2 Chainz through closed windows while stopped at a red light. The rapper claimed the woman’s anger stemmed from an alleged debt involving her father in Albany, Georgia. “Who J a** daughter this is tryin to drive me off the road,” 2 Chainz wrote in the caption, adding that she was also bringing his son into the mix. As the light turned green, the woman’s vehicle swerved toward his truck, appearing to try to force him off the street, all while making obscene gestures—including showing her bare feet in his direction.
Rapper Goes Off After Road Confrontation
Some details about the woman remain unclear, and 2 Chainz has not confirmed whether authorities were contacted, leaving fans to speculate about what else went down.
Furthermore, after the tense encounter, 2 Chainz seemingly added his thoughts in a follow-up clip, looking directly at the camera and shaking his head while driving. He warned, “Y’all need to leave them drugs alone,” calling the situation “crazy” and questioning, “What the h*ll is wrong with y’all?” as he recounted the words the woman shouted at him. “Some of you supposed to die,” he added. The rapper also went on to describe some people as “demons,” underscoring just how wild and unnerving the confrontation felt from his perspective.
Roommates Can’t Stop Talking About That FOOT
Fans immediately flooded TSR’s Instagram comment section after the video dropped, and they did not hold back. Many pointed out that the woman seemed pretty convincing in her tirade, while others questioned 2 Chainz, asking what he could have possibly done to provoke her. Of course, plenty of Roommates brought the humor, cracking jokes about how it apparently takes a lot of nerve to throw someone the FOOT like that.
One Instagram user @diorb said, “He know exactly what she’s talking bout auntie sound like she bout that too 😂😂”
This Instagram user @4fargo joked, “This just confirmed summer in Atlanta finna be a wild one lol“
And, Instagram user @carishathediva added, “Atlanta is a big ball of fun 😂😂😂😂 I saw a man walkin damn near naked on memorial drive the other day with a bonet on 🤸🤸🤸“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @pizzaoverlove commented, “He did whatever she said he did🤣”
While Instagram user @aholidaylife shared, “I can’t stop laughing at the foot kick out the window 😂”
Lastly, Instagram user @kimarobinson18 claimed, “Well 2Chainz what did you do?? She seems convincing to me🫠🤣🤣”

Baseball’s opening weekend started on March 25, 2026, with teams all over the country showing off their newest players alongside longtime fan favorites. One player, Edwin Diaz, switched teams over the winter during the offseason, transferring from the New York Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Dodgers’ production staff wasn’t going to let the Mets forget it.
Diaz is a closing relief pitcher, meaning he would get called in toward the end of the game. Since relief pitchers come from the bullpen, which is often in the outfield, it takes a minute or two to make the hike across the field to the pitcher’s mound. Almost every player has some clip of music the stadium plays when they come out to the field or up to bat, but relief pitchers have a unique opportunity to really draw the moment out since they can play a couple of minutes of a walk-on song.
Since his time on the Seattle Mariners in 2018, Diaz’s walk-on music has been the song “Narco,” by Timmy Trumpet. Its distinctive opening bars are used by other players around the league as they come to bat, but the song’s piercing trumpet melody was highlighted by Diaz’s long walk across the field. When Diaz joined the Mets in 2019, he switched to another song, but it didn’t vibe for him, and he had a bad season.
In 2020 he switched back to “Narco,” and it became his trademark as he rose to prominence as one of the sport’s most distinguished and feared relief pitchers. SNY director John DeMarsico, in charge of the Mets broadcasts at that time, filmed numerous takes on his entrance to the field, one notable one inspired by the movie Raging Bull. Unannounced, the broadcast failed to switch to commercial when they were supposed to so they could highlight Diaz’s majestic trot onto the field.
It became such a phenomenon that in 2022, Timmy Trumpet himself offered to come play “Narco” live during Diaz’s entrance.
This spectacle was a big hit with Mets fans, but was widely ridiculed by fans of other teams, notably rivals such as the Yankees, Braves, Phillies, and Dodgers. The Mets were criticized for making a big deal out of the song, as well as pouring so much attention and cinematic artistry into the show.
After missing the 2023 season, Diaz returned to the Mets to pitch for 2024 and 2025, both seasons resulting in heartbreak with a near-miss to the World Series followed by a terrible season in which the team dropped in a freefall from first to last. Many players whose contracts were under free agency jumped ship; Diaz ran to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He made his debut on March 28, 2026, against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and sure enough, “Narco” was his walk-on music. This is hardly remarkable in itself; players usually take their walk-on songs with them from team to team. What was remarkable was the Dodgers’ presentation.
The team made no attempt to hide their show being a pale imitation of the Mets’ show, complete with a live but inferior trumpeter. As much ridicule as the Mets faced for the spectacle they made of Diaz and his entrance music, the Dodgers used the song, and the opportunity, to rub his loss in their faces. Diaz would go on to close the game for the Dodgers, striking out two during the eighth inning; the Dodgers did not need to play the bottom of the ninth.
By mimicking DeMarsico, who was released from SNY for “creative differences,” the Dodgers did manage to show that the director’s impact is still felt on a sport whose administrators want homogeneity. Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball, stated last season that he expects to have all regional baseball broadcasts under one banner by 2028. SNY was the most obviously distinct broadcast due to DeMarsico’s creativity, but other holdouts include the Dodger, Yankee, and San Francisco Giant broadcasts, each of which are directly owned by team interests.
It also put a spotlight on DeMarsico’s absence from the Mets. The SNY broadcast is noticeably absent the tricks and techniques the former director used to enhance the game, such as the “PitchCom Robot” and split-screen shots of the pitcher and batter as they face off.
The Dodgers, unlike the Mets, have been highly praised for the show and its inclusion of a live trumpeter, seeming to forget that the man who wrote the song already performed it for Diaz when he was a Met. This is pretty typical, though. The Mets don’t usually receive favorable commentary from MLB, while the Dodgers are one of its flagship teams.
So, the season started with a mic-drop from the Dodgers that was definitely meant for Mets fans. Team rivalries are one thing, but should be settled on the field, not with the baseball equivalent of an epic rap battle. Though it would be poetic justice if the Mets responded by knocking the Dodgers and Diaz out of the postseason and finally winning a World Series while blaring “Narco” all over the stadium.
Roommates, things took an unexpected turn when Donald Trump weighed in on Druski‘s viral “conservative women” skit. Like the rest of social media, the president presumed that Erika Kirk was the inspiration behind the comedy sketch. His recommendation to Erika? Sue the comedian.

Trump Suggests Legal Action Over Druski’s Viral Skit
During a White House Easter lunch on Wednesday, Donald Trump appeared to encourage Erika Kirk to pursue legal action against Druski amid backlash over his viral skit. While speaking, Trump seemingly addressed Charlie Kirk’s widow directly, saying, “You’re doing well, right? … I think you should sue him,” before adding, “I told her, you ought to sue some of these. They’re so jealous of Erika.” He continued, “I can say it—you’re not allowed to say this, you have to be nicer—sue their a** off,” sparking widespread reactions online. It’s worth noting that Trump did not name Druski or the skit specifically, but social media is connecting the dots based on the timing.
The remarks appeared to reference Druski’s recent parody of conservative (and likely white) women, which has been circulating widely on social media. However, no legal action has been confirmed, and additional viral claims surrounding the situation have since been debunked. Rumors suggesting Druski revealed a white grandfather in response were proven false, as a spokesperson clarified to Complex that the man in his post was actually a former neighbor—not a relative. The spokesperson also shut down speculation about a cease-and-desist from Erika Kirk, confirming that no such legal action has been taken.
Internet Weighs In On Trump’s Suggestion
As soon as folks caught wind of the moment, they ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and went IN. Some pointed out that Druski never even mentioned Erika by name, while others joked that there are bigger issues to focus on—like world hunger. Meanwhile, a few Roommates flipped the script entirely, saying maybe Trump should be the one getting sued for all the stress he’s caused.
One Instagram user @dadsdoitoo added, “I guess Central Park boys need to you sue too right? 😂😂”
This Instagram user @sarah_delangel commented, “😂😂😂😂😂 druski didn’t even use her name“
Likewise, Instagram user @bradleyandbritnee shared, “How? He never once said her name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @danielfunnyashell wrote, “people are starving and dying and he is worried about druski skits????“
Then, Instagram user @real.kaylaab said, “So can the Obamas sue you over the ape video?????????? Bc that was very very DISTURBING“
Lastly, Instagram user @withlove.shally added, “Trump! We should sue you for emotional distress! WTF?!”
Druski Can’t Catch A Break
Trump isn’t the only politician who spoke on Druski’s viral skit. On Thursday, Ted Cruz took to X with a short, sharp, and scathing reaction, calling the video “beneath contempt.” Social media immediately blew up, with fans debating whether Cruz’s critique was justified—or if he was just giving Druski free publicity. Meanwhile, the skit poking fun at conservative women’s behaviors has continued to rack up attention and laughs.

Roommates, things took an unexpected turn when Donald Trump and Druski ended up in the same conversation alongside Erika Kirk—and let’s just say, it had folks doing a double take. What started as a routine address quickly turned into a moment that has social media buzzing, with many trying to piece together how comedy, politics, and a viral skit all collided.

HBO’s new Harry Potter series still hasn’t premiered, but the rollout is already moving fast. Just days after the first teaser arrived, HBO has now announced a full behind-the-scenes special that will give fans an early look at how this new version of Hogwarts is coming together. That alone says a lot about how big a swing this show is for the studio. It also gives audiences a chance to see the craft side of the project before the series itself lands in 2027.
The special is called Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic, and it will debut on Sunday, April 5 at 8:00 p.m. in the UK on HBO Max. In the U.S., it will hit HBO Max at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT, before also airing on HBO later that evening at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. The synopsis can be found below.
It’s been 25 years since audiences first walked the hallowed halls of Hogwarts.
