Did Brando? Presumably he had the chance to be in the Godfather and Superman sequels but couldn't be arsed/asked for too much money.

He was going to be in the final scene of Godfather II, in the flashback when Michael announces he's signed up. Brando pulled out at the last minute, so they rewrote the scene quickly, and Vito arrives off screen. Works better I think.


Jerzy Bondov

Daniel Day-Lewis, Mark Rylance... Hang on these are all blokes so far.

Michelle Williams, like Tom Hardy, is about to forfeit her membership by appearing in Venom 2.
Julianne Moore.
Jennifer Connolly? She does the voice of Spider-Man's suit in Homecoming but IMDB doesn't have her down as reprising it for any of the following films. Can't remember if it even talks in those.
Frances McDormand
Jodie Foster
Nicole Kidman

Julianne Moore.
Jodie Foster

They played the same character in Silence of the Lambs and its follow-up Hannibal. Can you say someone "hasn't done a sequel" if they do someone else's sequel?

Yahoo Serious never made a sequel to Young Einstein.

Roy Scheider requests another take.

Ballad of Ballard Berkley

He made two other films (yes, I have only just discovered this).

His real name is Greg Pead.

David Cross
Not only has he done sequels, he's done the Squeakquel.

An tSaoi

He's in the first two Men in Black films, and I'm not sire if he's even meant to be the same character.

Dusty Substance


mothman

Which is a shame, because I'd like a sequel to Bulworth.

Bad Ambassador

He did a TV special as Dick Tracy, purely as a means to retain the rights for a sequel that'll never be made.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

James Spader, many different fetishists rather than just one repeatedly.

They asked why he kept getting a hardon and he replied it was the method.

Colin Farrell's disastrous blockbuster career has ensured a lack of sequels.

I'd guess its much more common for actresses to be sequeless as you have fewer female lead action franchises, were there more likely to be one off love interests, Lea Seydoux clinging onto sequelessness via covid.

Wayne played Rooster Cogburn twice.

Think early on in his career (1930s) he was in a couple of series of films where he played the same character a number of times.

Anyway, he played a lot of Johns as well. Strikingly so.

Look, is Carry On Doctor Again a sequel or not? I need to be told.

In a sign of where the Carry Ons went, Jim Dale plays a Jim in both, Kilmore in the first and, ahem, Nookey in the second.

Dr Rock

You can have a sequel where none of the original cast and/or characters are in it. I reckon it does count as a sequel just because 'Again' ties it to the other Doctor film. But even though many of the same actors are in it, they are playing characters with different names, if not personalities, so according this thread's rules

Quoteactors who work in modern sequel-/franchise-heavy Hollywood films but have never played a recurring role.

None of the actors are playing recurring roles.

mothman

Like Woody Allen, they play recurring character types. Or stereotypes.

Thought I might be onto a winner with Kevin Spacey (er...), but Horrible Bosses happened. Twice.

Waking Life

Even Kevin Costner let me down on this with some recurring work with Snyder.

Superman Returns would certainly have Returned if it had been better received. Gene Hackman did a few turns as Lex Luthor.

Christoph Waltz ruined the long-running Blofeld actor tradition by actually reprising the role in a sequel.

Dr Rock

Yup. I thought of him too, then remembered The Two Jakes.



Frances McDormand

Despite being the nexus of the party game Kevin Bacon doesn't seem to have done a sequel.

I resisted the urge to post that when someone said Tom Hanks earlier.
