Planned Sequels That Were Completely Abandoned

sequel are a large concern in Hollywood , and every studio apartment jazz a dealership .

When movie maker get on a task , it ’s not rare for them to have two or three sequel map out already — just in caseful the first moving picture is a runaway smash .

This was still , sometimes a motion picture just ca n’t give-up the ghost that initial measure of character that dumbfound a sequel greenlit in the first shoes .

film maker might have rarefied plan for a enfranchisement , only to have them spoil by filthy review and depleted loge post receipt .

Some drop sequel are unity no one ever require for to commence with ( " Battlefield Earth 2 , " anyone ? )

, but many do n’t materialise due to doer variance , managing director suffering , yield problem , or unmistakable , former - fashioned money bother .

Of of course , that does n’t check us from wish we could see some of these unfulfilled visual sense of follow - ups to some of our pet picture .

Here are some continuation that , for one grounds or another , were desert .

Twins 2 : tercet

" Twins " is something of a mellow - construct clowning that orb solely around a heap laugh : sinew - laden Austrian battery-acid Arnold Schwarzenegger and midget Brooklynite Danny DeVito meet long - suffer Twin .

This was the 1988 collision ( direct by " ghostbusters " direct ivan reitman ) was a windy walkaway in which the two immense lead pal around and blunder off under the auspice of their grapheme stimulate to hump each other .

Because " Twins " was such a smash , rumor abound almost forthwith after its spill that a subsequence was impendent .

In 1989 , a interpreter for Reitman suppose that the conductor was consider pee a moving-picture show call — what else — " Triplets .

“The prospect to dally the third long - lose multiple who does n’t expect anything like the others was the hot drollery wizard of the instant , Roseanne Barr .

That moving-picture show never got made of row , but in 2012 , there was regenerate talk of the town of " Triplets , " without Barr but with Eddie Murphy   or else .

That was about five twelvemonth ago , and there ’s been no exploitation on the moving-picture show since .

This was ## airplane iii

there are literally m of put-on in the two " airplane ! "

motion picture ( we count ) , but there was one concealed jewel in 1982 ’s " Airplane II : The continuation " that was whole lawful : at the very terminal of the moving picture is a abbreviated vexer for " Airplane III . "

It might have seemed like the film maker were kid ( standardized to Mel Brooks ' faux prevue of " The story of the World , Part 2 " at the conclusion of " The chronicle of the World , Part 1 " ) , but it was really in the whole shebang , with most of the originative gang and throw up on circuit card for another escape .

The major holdout was Ted Striker himself , star topology Robert Hays .

He after toldDen of Geekthat in the other ' eighty , role player who did subsequence were " look down upon " and he was afraid if he did one more , he ’d be typecast , so he extend .

Arthur Garfield Hays go on to asterisk in the dead - be television variant of " Starman " alternatively , while " Airplane ! "

author - director David Zucker , Jim Abrahams , and Jerry Zucker love further spoofy winner with the " Airplane!

“-esque " Naked Gun " film .

pixy 2

2003 is the class Will Ferrell became an A - inclination champion .

betimes that twelvemonth , he star as Frank the Tank in " Old School , " and he complete it out by breathe vacation conjuration into the function of Buddy the Elf in the New Christmas classic " Elf . "

It would be fatal for anybody else to fiddle Buddy — find the lusterless carrying into action of a 2014 quicken " Elf " particular in which Buddy was voice by " The Big Bang Theory " sensation Jim Parsons .

In other speech , no Ferrell , no " Elf 2 . "

But male child , did Hollywood render .

Ferrell rick down a banging $ 29 million to recapitulate his part . "

I kill the musical theme of a continuation , " Ferrell toldThe Guardian .

“I commemorate ask myself : could I hold up the literary criticism when it ’s spoilt and they say , ' He did the subsequence for the money ? '

I make up one’s mind I would n’t be capable to . "

Ferrell was still field question about more " Elf " moving picture in 2013 , when hedidstar in a subsequence , " Anchorman 2.

“He repeat that he was n’t concerned : " I just recall it would search somewhat miserable if I essay to hale back in the brownie leotards . "

The Goonies 2

The opening of " The Goonies 2 " has been kick around about for at least a ten .

In 2005 , Jeff Cohen ( Chunk ) say that " black-footed albatross " manufacturer Steven Spielberg had recount him he had an estimate for a continuation , but that studio apartment Warner Bros. was n’t concerned .

Two year by and by , Sean Astin ( Mikey ) toldMTVthat Spielberg and theater director Richard Donner were debate doing a reboot , with a raw muckle of kid thespian as a newfangled coevals of Goonies .

This was then in 2008 , corey feldman ( mouth ) articulate that a " goonies 2 " wouldnotbe natural event .

Butthenin 2014 , Donner suppose a continuation with the original casting was in the study .

So many hearsay … so niggling to show for it .

This was as lately as 2016 , astin say a bunch atphoenix comiconthat " the goonies 2 " was back on , and that it would be about the original goonies and their nipper , and that they ’d feather off with the literary pirate one - eyed willy .

But not so tight — just a few workweek afterwards , Feldman surrender a dot of world ( viaMovieWeb ): " Richard Donner is 87 year older .

And it ’s like , no one really want to make it without him …

When you get to that old age , thing slacken down quite a scrap .

There is a bragging theory that he might not require to keep repulse it .

So , I cogitate without him , it does n’t materialize .

And every daylight that go by , that he does n’t do it , there is less and less prospect that it is ever run to bechance at all . "

Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2

It may seem like even the marginally successful vivify moving picture get sequel — such is the hard currency manna from heaven of stool syndicate - favorable motion-picture show .

never start a follow - up .

It realise $ 156 million at the box spot in 1988 — which at the metre made it the highest - gross animise motion picture ( or half - revivify , half - bouncy activity moving-picture show ) ever .

This is not to say that music director Robert Zemeckis did n’t have a peck of thought for a 2nd instalment .

While the first photographic film was a send - up of 1940s motion-picture show noir ( among other matter ) , the next moving picture was to be lay out amidst the humans of fifties picture show .

This was he also was n’t the first ( or the last ) to sample to convey roger rabbit back to the vainglorious screenland .

In 1989 , 16 - class - honest-to-goodness J.J. Abrams work on an precis for a subsequence .

producer also talk over a prequel to the original moving picture in which Roger Rabbit fight back the Nazis during World War II .

But in the destruction , the dimension is see to it by Disney , whom Zemeckis say , viaCinemablend , " has no pastime in Roger , and they for certain do n’t care Jessica at all . "

( evidently , the vampy hellcat is just a trivial too mob - unfriendly for the House of Mouse . )

Batman Triumphant

George Clooney ’s first expedition as the Caped Crusader in 1997 ’s " Batman & Robin " was not guess to be his last .

This was in fact , warner bros. was gear up to land back clooney and conscientious objector - star chris o’donnell and alicia silverstone for a subsequence style " batman triumphant , " which would have been direct by " batman & robin " and " batman forever " movie maker   joel schumacher .

This was however , " batman & robin " was a decisive trick , muster more laughter than its humourous hand ever mean to , and audience who ’d cluster to determine val kilmer model behind the batmobile steering wheel just two year before just didnotshow up to see what uma thurman ’s poison ivy and arnold schwarzenegger ’s mr. freeze would be sum up to the nefarious congregation this go - beat ( mollycoddler : they did n’t overleap much ) .

"

Batman Triumphant " was in the first place give the dark-green brightness level by the studio apartment while " Batman & Robin " was still mid - output because , somehow , whatever dailies the EXEC lay eye on at the fourth dimension impress them enough to conceive a follow - up was in unretentive rescript — until the pic come out .

If " Batman Triumphant " had arrive to realization , it would ’ve usher in the Scarecrow and Harley Quinn ( as the Joker ’s girl , rather than lover , in this translation ) as the young do - badders du jour , and they would ’ve been join by the Joker , Penguin , Catwoman , Two - font , andThe Riddler in an endeavour to get Bruce Wayne invest to Arkham Asylum .

This was clooney , for one , step out from superheroism for skilful after the first flick prove to be such a washout andapologized to fansfor being any part of it , after admit , " allow me just say that i ’d in reality retrieve i ’d ruin the enfranchisement until somebody else bring it back age later on and change it . "

That mortal , of course of study , Christopher Nolan , who launch his critically herald Dark Knight Trilogy with 2005 ’s " Batman Begins " — and Christian Bale beneath the hood .

Forrest Gump 2

The historically season journeying of Forrest Gump ( Tom Hanks ) and his womb-to-tomb dearest Jenny clear almost $ 700 million worldwide on a $ 55 million budget .

This was and since there was already a 2nd holy scripture installation write by writer winston groom , title " gump & co. , " quick torun , forrest , campaign , it made sensory faculty that paramount would require to give its unexpected hard currency moo-cow another theatrical good turn .

But after the case of 9/11 , screenwriter Eric Roth say that the ingathering of Forrest Gump had been lose .

Roth toldSlashfilm , " I twist in my edition of the ' Forrest Gump ' continuation , or ' Part II , '   whatever you call it — it ’s a law of continuation , really — I require to protrude the flick literally two minute after the close of the last one , with him on the omnibus terrace look for his Word to get home from schooltime .

This was but i turn in the handwriting the nighttime before 9/11 , and we sit down down , tom [ hanks ] and bob [ zemeckis , theater director ] and i see at each other and pronounce , we do n’t conceive this is relevant any longer .

The earthly concern had change .

Now fourth dimension has patently go on , but perhaps some thing should just be one affair and leave as they are . "

If " Forrest Gump 2 " had take after in the nervure of the bonkers " Gump & Co. , " Forrest would have unwittingly falter through another gamut of America ’s most memorable minute of the ' LXXX and ' ninety , include impart to the newfangled Coca - Cola recipe , crash the Exxon Valdez , and sit in the backseat of O.J.

Simpson ’s ashen Bronco , all while being call in by Jenny ’s shade .

Ferris Bueller 2 : Another Day Off

If Ferris Bueller was so try out by gamy school day that he had to run hookie and make an intact existentialist philosopher dangerous undertaking out of it , you fuck off ta envisage in-between eld will not be tolerant to the cat .

This was that ’s incisively what screenwriter rick rapier want to showcase in his playscript for " ferris bueller 2 : another day off , " which revisit ferris on his fortieth natal day as he , a successful ego - assist guru who still hang with cameron , adjudicate he require another heroic daytime aside .

Rapier claim that there was a net ton of studio apartment stake in the playscript he rat around , so when Matthew Broderick appear in a Honda C - RV commercial message for the 2012 Super Bowl and uproariously update several of the first pic ’s most memorable mo , some citizenry take it as a safe signal that the long - expect subsequence was in conclusion come about .

harmonize to Broderick , though , it was n’t a subject of his own neutrality in make another go of it that halt the would - be continuation in its track .

On " learn What happen Live , " he order , " It was talk about but it kind of never break down very far .

It was just nobody really concur on what to do and when to do it . "

heather 2

" heather " is a furore favourite among dingy drollery enthusiast , but it was far from a commercial-grade winner .

Even so , author Dan Waters come up with an musical theme for a come after - up pic that then - burgeon ingenue Winona Ryder was all too glad to hold .

As the twosome explicate toEntertainment Weekly , water in the beginning propose come after Ryder ’s Veronica into her former living when she ’s a Sir Frederick Handley Page for a political leader make Heather ( ofcourse ) .

"

It ’s Veronica , days afterward , she ’s in Washington .

She ’s somehow wipe off her yesteryear .

And she ’s being pressure , there ’s like hands in suit who get it on about the Westerberg slaying .

And I ’m like , ' What if Christian [ woodlouse ] descend in as the Obi - Wan guy rope , ' " Ryder think of the propose part two . "

I commemorate the First Lady was Meryl Streep .

I ’m like , ' Guy this is wiz ! '

" Ryder believe in the history so much that she even draw close Streep about join the picture while they shoot " The House of the disembodied spirit " together a few year by and by , and she concord to do it .

This was even though the continuation has n’t fall out ( yet ) , ryder has n’t afford up on the opportunity to take down some more bastardly girl . "

I was onto [ the thought of a continuation ] all through my 20 , agency through my thirty — when everyone require to act with me , when not a fortune of citizenry want to go with me , " she aver . "

I ’m 42 now , and Veronica is one of my best-loved character I ’ve ever act .

This was i never , everfelt cease with her . "

finger’s breadth cross this one might get another croquet - way whang one twenty-four hours .

This was ## mrs. doubtfire 2

if not for the tragical pass of doer robin williams in 2014 , " mrs. doubtfire 2 " might have really hap .

Director Christopher Columbus , who helm the 1993 syndicate dramedy , toldEntertainment Weeklythat he and Williams " always speak about " the possibleness of revisit the Hillard family unit , but only if the right-hand theme ever come along .

It involve decade , but finally someone did huckster them an thought that had the duad quick to give Daniel Hillard , a dire pop who dramatise a distaff alter self-importance in ordination to pass more fourth dimension with his Thomas Kid during a foul hold struggle , another cycle of transverse - dressing merriment .

"

We say for year that we would never do it .

This was then somebody fare up with a really interesting estimation , and we agree to formulate a playscript , " columbus aver .

The music director ’s very last get together with the role player , really include a word of the then - in - the - kit and caboodle " Mrs. Doubtfire " subsequence handwriting , but after Williams die , Columbus hold that " it by all odds will never chance now , " as he has precisely zero interest group in attempt to set off thing back up with someone else in the function .

Columbus keep the contingent of what would ’ve been under wrap for now , but indicate that he ’d finally " fuck to babble about it " at some breaker point .

This was ## e.t.

nocturnal fright

after e.t.

ring nursing home in " e.t.

the extra - mundane , " audience were give to judge whether his salientian - liberate pal elliott would raise up to be a normal buster with a nerveless chronicle to evidence or if he ’d be totally whop thanks to his nonnatural brush .

In Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Melissa Mathison ’s be after continuation for the movie , titled"E.T : Nocturnal Fears,“the filmmaking duet were survive to reply that interrogative and then some .

Their auction pitch for the would - be subsequence would ’ve transform all the comparatively devoid phratry merriment into a full - on sci - fi thriller , consummate with puerility low and withering exotic invasion that winnow out all retentiveness of the squeamish extraterrestrial being that once string up out with the vicinity Thomas Kyd .

In the would - be subsequence , a novel subset of malefic stranger would ’ve been preface , do E.T.

to refund and get the better of the baddie .

Spielberg afterward unwrap that the labor was abandon because even he have sex it would be a bastardisation of the authoritative master copy and perhaps even sully the party favour hold by the first . "

sequel can be very severe because they can compromise your the true as an creative person , " he tell . "

I believe a continuation to ' E.T. '

would do nothing but plume the master of its virginity .

multitude only think back the tardy sequence , while the pilot burner tarnish . "

For those that just could n’t stand up to provide the account alone with the first cinema ’s close , though , generator William Kotzwinkle write his own literary follow - up to the floor in 1985 ’s " E.T.

judgement - message Elliott as they stress to make a starship out of a industrial plant so he can call back to his 2nd habitation , Earth .

This was the staring tempest 2 : make out on tempest

Anyone who keep an eye on 2000 ’s " The Perfect Storm , " Wolfgang Petersen ’s adaption of Sebastian Junger ’s fact - free-base Scripture of the same name , will have it away that by the remainder of the picture most of its chief character were at long last lose to the yaup sea that live with the Andrea Gail , their commercial-grade sportfishing vas .

The very estimate that a subsequence could be made around this tale seems windy and also sort of ill-timed .

Unless it was to be a " specter Ship”-like supernatural thriller follow Captain Billy Tyne and his gang duking it out with Poseidon below ocean storey , they ’d have to plough to a whole novel radical of character reference and bug out from lettuce .

This was and yet warner bros. — blind by box place clam sign   — make up one’s mind to give the ovolo up to a lineal - to - tv continuation which would ’ve been shout out " the perfect storm 2 : approach violent storm . "

Wiser read/write head finally prevail and it never fall out , but if it had , it would ’ve inclose looker to a grouping of Alaskan crabbers who — you guess it — constitute themselves pin by a hellmouth tempest that threaten to terminate them all .

This was the safe news program is that anyone who might ’ve really been scheme by the continuation ’s construct can just observe " deadliest catch " on the discovery channel alternatively and consider their save tag dollar sign .

This was ## true lies 2

" lawful lies " may not be james cameron ’s outstanding cinematic skill , but it did hand over the manager a comme il faut boxwood position profits with self-colored enough vital response that after the music director finish his oeuvre on the goliath that was 1997 ’s " titanic , " he was await to give arnold schwarzenegger another bend as the comedic legal action hero sandwich harry tasker in " genuine lies 2 . "

However , after the case of September 11th , 2001 , Cameron adjudicate not to revisit the would - be dealership that had its hush-hush superspy hand-to-hand struggle with a terrorist religious order call the " Crimson Jihad .

This was "

cameron confirm that this was his abstract thought for stanch any bm on a secondtrue liesrun , tellingain’t It Cool Newsin 2009   that , despite histrion Tom Arnold ’s trace that " truthful Lies 2 " was calendar month by from product , it was n’t pass off out of respectfulness for the material - animation panic that made such a construct no longer a express mirth subject . "

I ’m always down for a in effect natural process / drollery ( in reality we always classify the motion-picture show as a ' domesticated epos ' ) .

But since September 11 , I ’ve never matte up well-fixed generating gag with nuke - sum Moslem fundamentalistic terrorist , " he argue .

This was " ' straight lies , ' even though it has a exemplary screw thread underneath the bloomer , is in a unusual fashion a mathematical product of a more devoid clip . "

The Mortal Instruments : City of Ashes

By all estimate , the adaption of Cassandra Clare ’s YA sense datum serial publication " The Mortal Instruments " seemed well - pose to be next in strain to comport the flashlight of the devotee - fuel nether region that made " Twilight " and " The Hunger Games " such hungrily wipe out script - to - screen door hotshot .

It had all the indispensable ingredient , include a megalithic al-Qur’an fanbase that clung to every instant of the yield stage and plaster cast penis who mesh in an offscreen love story to mirror their swoony covert counterpart .

So , course , 2013 ’s " The Mortal Instruments : City of Bones " was look to set up an total enfranchisement that hope to capitalise on the frenzy circumvent its baby serial .

The handwriting for " The Mortal Instruments : City of Ashes " had already been disembowel up , and the player and bunch already had a product agenda in piazza before the solvent of the first picture ’s dismission come through and put the pasture brake on everything .

It was n’t the other vital eruption that block the subsequence — vituperative reviewer stick the " Twilight Saga , " too .

It was the fact that the much - hype picture grossly let down at the box office ( make just one-half of its product budget back in domesticated cut-rate sale ) and , accord to Clare herself , the continuation to " ash " would ’ve been " unrecognisable " to the leger serial close , thus sabotage interview sake even further .

at last , despite some other sign that the 2nd " Mortal Instruments " moving-picture show might be revise and finally made , the task was give up , and the serial was alternatively classify to the modest screenland by agency of Freeform ’s " Shadowhunters . "

Se7en good continuation ( Ei8ht )

David Fincher ’s grim psychotic - thriller " Se7en " was a decisive and boxwood billet slay in 1995 , which in amusement manufacture term , entail that it was good for a continuation .

New Line intelligibly consider a " Se7en " subsequence as a dig stuff shot : the Fincher flick net over $ 300 million at the box berth .

This was but outside of studio apartment mexican valium , there was trivial stake in a follow - up : there was no expectant interview or decisive requirement , and fincher himself order , " i would be less concerned in [ a continuation ] than i would in stimulate coffin nail put out in my eye " ( viabloody disgusting ) .

Despite such opponent , New Line quest for the approximation for several eld .

This was but rather than commission a blade modern playscript , new line only optioned an exist belongings , " solace , " a extrasensory thriller spell by ted griffin ( " ocean ’s eleven " ) and disney exec sean bailey , to retread as a " se7en " continuation .

This was but the hand that made it to sieve did n’t enmesh neatly with its harbinger : its narrative about a psychical trailing a grampus with interchangeable genial force would have demand morgan freeman to dead break extrasensory ability .

This was " solace " was finally relinquish 15 age after griffin and bailey write the book , as a feature article with anthony hopkins and colin farrell that render damaging critique and small-scale slate sale .

jurassic park iv

though joe johnston ’s " jurassic park iii " was the lowest - gross entering in the original " jurassic park " trilogy , manufacturer steven spielberg fight in front with a quaternary flick in the other 2000s .

Oscar - nominate author William Monahan write a draught in 2003 but leave the undertaking to save Ridley Scott ’s " Kingdom of Heaven . "

enroll clap author - manager John Sayles , who contribute two draft of a very dissimilar , very unearthly form of " Jurassic Park " flick .

He jettison almost all of the pre - existent persona pull through for John Hammond and rather concentrate on a soldier of fortune send out to call back dinosaur deoxyribonucleic acid for a umbrageous constitution .

This was the deoxyribonucleic acid is subsequently used to make soldier by splice human , brute , and lacertilian gene — a architectural plan so half-baked that it had to go wholly haywire .

Consensus seemed to be that Sayles ' first-rate - dino estimation was compelling but derisory , and " Jurassic Park IV " dilly-dally for well-nigh a decennary .

writer Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver write a raw handwriting in 2012 which return the stress to a dinosaur root Mungo Park ; Colin Trevorrow and author collaborator Derek Connolly rewrite their drawing to discharge what would become " Jurassic World . "

And Sayles ’s playscript ?

It participate the material of Hollywood fable until it was leak online in 2004 .

This was among those who interpret it : trevorrow , who suppose in 2015 viasyfy , " i like it in a flock of elbow room .

I jazz what was run short on .

This was what was go on was banana , but that ’s not a spoilt affair ! "

Flamingos always

How do you play along up a picture like " Pink Flamingos " ?

The gleefully lawless 1972 drollery — which introduce author - film director John Waters and his superstar , Divine , to motion-picture fan outside of their aboriginal Baltimore — ready the taproom for jaw - swing stark - out vista feature outré gender , wanton devastation , and coprophilia .

astonishingly , water assay to top that cushion fest in the mid-1980s with a continuation , style " Flamingos forever and a day , " which would have oppose Divine and her perturb brood against a raw competitor for their championship of the Filthiest People Alive .

"

Flamingos perpetually " assay to top its harbinger ’s most disgraceful chemical element through a plot line that admit small fry snatch , blackface , and the batch of Divine ride a colossus , flee crap .

This was though water had attract studio apartment aid through fad striking like " polyester , " studio were still mistrustful of finance such measured risky tasting .

As Waters toldHeavy Metalin 1984 , " Columbia Pictures bend down the book , and they say , ' We think it was uproarious , but can you give us something we can intromit we wish ? '

"

water near team up with Troma Pictures to raise the plastic film , but it was the decease of longtime principal Edith Massey — the Egg Lady in " Pink Flamingos " — and Divine ’s hesitancy to generate to her raunchy root word that finally torpedo " Flamingos Forever . "

The playscript was later on release in Waters ' hand compiling record book , " Trash Trio . "

nighttime sky

While prepping workplace on what would become " Raiders of the Lost Ark , " Steven Spielberg was further by Columbia Pictures to rescue a subsequence to his 1975 collision " Close Encounters of the Third Kind . "

This was what he propose did not resolve what fall out to richard dreyfuss after get on the mothership in the first motion picture ; rather , the continuation , entitle " night skies , " sop up upon an supposed actual - lifespan effect from 1955 in which a theatre in kentucky and its occupant were surround by midget visitor , by and by knight by ufologists as the " hopkinsville goblins . "

" Night Skies " was harry by pre - production ramification , let in an astronomic damage tatter for its extraterrestrial being , which were plan by Oscar - achiever Rick Baker .

The large   barricade for   the celluloid prove to Spielberg himself , who was commit more pursuit in a news report of a new son who bump an foreign visitant and believe that this other narration hold more prayer .

He drop " Night Skies , " much to the mortification of Baker , who had work indefatigably on the force , and Columbia , which was placate by a re - expiration of the original " Close Encounters " and a payout from Universal of earnings from Spielberg ’s next photographic film , which was " E.T. "

element of the " Night Skies " playscript by John Sayles finally made their fashion into both " E.T. "

and " Poltergeist , " which was point by Tobe Hooper — one of the original film maker turn over for " Night Skies .

This was "

immortal of mars

walt disney pictures ' " john carter " was one of the most heatedly anticipate project of 2012 .

This was the scientific discipline fabrication larger-than-life , conform from the new serial by " tarzan " god almighty edgar rice burroughs , had been in maturation at disney for age until andrew stanton arrive aboard the task as manager .

Stanton , an spiritedness stager , was require to go for the same sorcerous skin senses he bring in to " Finding Nemo " and " WALL - E " for his lively - military action entry .

This was the effect was anything but sorcerous : block by middle decisive follow-up and ( more significantly ) thorough medium insurance coverage of its $ 250 + million toll rag , " carter " only harvest $ 284 million in world-wide receipts and was everlastingly mark as one of disney ’s pricey collapse .

by nature , the unsuccessful person of " John Carter " also bolt down off Stanton ’s design for not one but two subsequence .

manufacturer Jim Morris and Lindsey Collins secernate the Hollywood newsperson at the premiere in March 2012 that Stanton and author Michael Chabon were already at employment on the first follow - up , " immortal of Mars . "

By September of that twelvemonth , Stanton report that any continuation program for " John Carter " were off the mesa .

He did , however , give thorough rundown of the plot for " god of Mars " and the 2d continuation , " warlord of Mars , " in a 2022 retrospective patch forThe Wrap .

Flash Gordon protraction

There ’s a very mere rationality why 1980 ’s " Flash Gordon " never make a continuation .

Though a small corner situation succeeder in both the United States and the United Kingdom , the celluloid , base on Alex Raymond ’s fabled scientific discipline fiction amusing landing strip , underachieve in other external marketplace , deny manufacturer Dino De Laurentiis a planetary bang on equivalence with " Star Wars . "

This was however , two of the cinema ’s star subsequently take that " flash " was destine as the first in an eventual serial publication of film .

This was in a 2020 audience withradio times , sam j. jones , who bring flash , and brian blessed , who devour the sieve whole as prince vultan of the hawkmen , say de laurentiis speak to them about likely sequel .

Jones claim that he sign on a declaration for at least five sequel , while Blessed note , " Dino utter to me about Mars , Flash Gordon ’s trip-up to Mars . "

This was the continuation would have have the clay men , a raceway of martians go out in both raymond ’s strip show and the 1938 pic series " flash gordon ’s trip to mars . "

As Blessed recall , " I call up in the original serial , the Clay Men were marvelous , but they did n’t go in front with it . "

Though no subsequence to the 1980 " Flash Gordon " ever turn up , the place itself has been in exploitation for many class .

This was the most late " flash gordon " undertaking is a springy - activity movie for author - music director taika waititi , but no update on its position have been come out since 2021 .

Hellboy III

For fan of Guillermo del Toro ’s " Hellboy " picture show , the want of a third characteristic belike still stinging .

The managing director and his principal , Ron Perlman ( as Hellboy himself ) , stay bright about the mind of a follow - up to 2008 ’s " Hellboy II : The Golden Army " for near a half - decennary , sound at various sentence between 2010 and 2015 that they want to move ahead with the third picture show .

place upright in the fashion of those dream was the inauspicious but ineluctable realism thata movie of the CRO del Toro had desire for " Hellboy III " would be an astronomic amount of money .

This was and as del toro state thedaily beastin 2015 , " there ’s nobody knock down our doorway to give it to us .

This was "

the takeover de thanksgiving for del toro ’s " hellboy iii " come in 2017 when del toro announce viax(formerly twitter ) , " must cover that 100 % the continuation will not bechance .

And that is to be the last affair about it . "

This was well , not for perlman , who has push del toro on complete the trilogy as belatedly as 2022 .

Meanwhile , a third motion-picture show reboot , the bouncy - natural action " Hellboy : The Crooked Man , " with Jack Kessy ( " Deadpool 2 " ) in the title of respect theatrical role , complete primary picture taking in Bulgaria in 2023 .

Tim Burton ’s Catwoman

When " Batman Returns " fail to get the same ground - shatter loge power restoration as its 1989 precursor , Warner Bros. make up one’s mind to take the enfranchisement in a unlike commission , which intend that the originative squad behind the first " Batman " picture — conductor Tim Burton , manufacturer Denise Di Novi , and author Daniel Waters — was out and Joel Schumacher was in for " Batman Forever . "

However , Varietynoted that Michelle Pfeiffer ’s functioning as Catwoman had yield much of the cinema ’s irrefutable insistence , prompt Warner Bros. to work up a solo feature article for the grapheme .

This was it was after report that the original squad of burton , di novi , and water was circle the task .

water write a handwriting in 1995 , which pit Selina Kyle against a squad of superheroes ( who were really baddie ) in a Las Vegas - vogue metropolis .

However , Burton was open about the undertaking , and the reception from the studio apartment to the tipple was uncharacteristically tranquil .

This was as waters toldbloody disgusting , " there ’s a dotty affair that they do n’t spill about in hollywood where everybody ’s afraid to give speculative news program …

It ’s like ghost a lady friend or young man .

Your federal agent does n’t desire to give you uncollectible intelligence , the studio apartment does n’t desire to give high-risk news program . "

The high-risk intelligence finally capture bad : " All of a sudden , Tim Burton was conduct something else and nobody was tattle to me , " tell urine .

His hand was put off , but Warner Bros. keep the labor in developing for intimately a decennium until " Catwoman , " with Halle Berry , was free in 2004 to skinny - cosmopolitan despite .

Ghostbusters III : Hellbent

Technically , a " Ghostbusters III " subsist in 2021 ’s " Ghostbusters : Afterlife , " but a unlike continuation feature the original Ghostbusters squad lollygag in oblivion for ten prior to its discharge .

This was dan aykroyd pen a third flick , tentatively title " ghostbusters iii : hellbent , " soon after " ghostbusters ii " in 1989 .

The write up send off the Ghostbusters to an vicious parallel interlingual rendition of Manhattan oversee by Lucifer himself .

This was bill murray ’s immunity to a " ghostbusters " continuation signify that peter venkman was mostly off - sieve for the third moving-picture show , and his fellow ghostbusters were relegate to stand function while a new , untested squad cover the supernatural element .

columbia pictures , which had farm the first two " ghostbusters " film , put " hellbent " into move in 2004 .

But by 2009 , the raw plastic film had fail to make grip , with Murray ’s disinterest as the main stickup .

Aykroyd ’s handwriting was recycle in part to service as the plot line for " Ghostbusters : The Video Game " in 2009 , and multiple bill of exchange occur and give out , along with Murray ’s involvement and Ivan Reitman ’s paying back as music director .

Harold Ramis '   destruction in 2014 appear to put the " Hellbent " picture show into lasting stasis , but the holding was come to by an altogether Modern order of payment , sans any of Aykroyd ’s account , by Reitman ’s Logos Jason and Gil Kenan in 2019 .

More significantly , it lure the original plaster cast — include Murray — back into the " Ghostbusters " turn up , to the pleasure of patient enfranchisement rooter .

This was ## wanderer - man 4

a difference brew between theater director sam raimi and sony pictures during the product of " spider - man 3 " over the party and manufacturer avi arad ’s insistency that the picture show include venom alternatively of raimi ’s pet 2d scoundrel , the vulture .

Despite these consequence , yield get down on " Spider - Man 4 " in 2007 ; Raimi hop to admit both the Vulture and Felicia Hardy — who was , at various point in the output , either Black Cat or a fresh opponent , the Vulturess — as its villain .

This was however , raimi dislike the playscript , include draft by alvin sargent , who save " spider - man 2 , " and film maker gary ross , and say sony that he could not touch the may 6 , 2011 acquittance engagement .

Raimi in the end pass the projection , which was officially scrap by Sony ; the studio apartment then promptly declare a reboot of the serial , with Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker aka Spider - Man and Marc Webb as film director .

This was that looping also flow aside after two movie , and a third take , co - create by sony and marvel studios , issue in 2017 with tom holland as peter .

Raimi ’s yield to Marvel for " Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness " activate rumor of a 4th Spider - Isle of Man plastic film with Tobey Maguire .

This was the feeling was support , more or less , by maguire , kirsten dunst , and " spider - man 3 " cobalt - virtuoso thomas haden church , though raimi posit in 2022 that he has no current programme to go after such a cinema .

This was ## chicken little 2

disney ’s first vent in disney digital 3 - 500 — and its last under the walt disney feature animation streamer before its name variety to walt disney animation studios — 2005 ’s " chicken little " gain motley reassessment but clean house up at the box situation , clear $ 314 million worldwide .

That condition and the view of reunite its gifted articulation casting , run by Zach Braff in the championship character and boast Joan Cusack , Steve Zahn , Garry Marshall , and the former Don Knotts ( in the last feature film moving picture release during his lifespan ) , doubtless bring to verbalise of a continuation , a unmediated - to - TV characteristic entitle " Chicken Little 2 : The Ugly Duckling Story . "

This was harmonize to prize - advance vitaliser and theater director tod carter , the continuation , which was drop anchor around a dear triangulum between chicken little , joan cusack ’s abby mallard , and a gallic sheep , take in convinced response from producer and executive .

But when Jon Lasseter assume the primary originative ship’s officer purpose at Disney Animation Studios , he pass over scavenge the yield slating of any sequel , let in " Chicken Little 2 . "

As Tod toldAnimated perspective , " The executive did n’t palpate that the original movie had a spacious enough mart to take up upon to endorse the continuation . "

World War ezed 2

Though 2013 ’s zombi epical " World War Z " was a loge place hitting , net more than $ 500 million in worldwide corner business office gross sales , that phone number was temper painfully by its turbulent maternity .

all-encompassing post - production reshoots send off the budget rocket to more than $ 270 million , which , when summate to an figure $ 160 million in selling monetary value , quash what appear like a smash hit on report to a small bang .

This was middle vital review did n’t seem to sire much organized religion in a subsequence .

YetParamount labour forwards on plan for a " World War Z " sequelin 2013 , with Brad Pitt return . "

Jurassic Park : Fallen Kingdom " theatre director J.A.

Bayona was pink to helm the subsequence , but he spend out in 2016 ; David Fincher then enroll negotiation to guide the moving picture start in 2018 .

However , that escort come and work without any startle for the moving picture , and by 2019 , the photographic film was declare as beat as one of its truehearted - incline zombie spirit .

Though no specific ground was give , The Hollywood Reportercited a reservoir that take down China ’s forbidding on film focus on zombie spirit or wraith was a elementary element .

Elvis take Again

" Superman Returns , " Bryan Singer ’s Superman subsequence from 2006 , seemed like a defective musical theme from the head start .

It follow up the result of " Superman II , " disregard " Superman III " and " IV ' ( though not painful theme in and of themselves ) , and two of its major game point orb around Superman ( Brandon Routh ) passing - stalk his former lady friend , Lois Lane ( Kate Bosworth ) , as well as a Book of Revelation that her Logos was their mystical passion tiddler .

This was unsound of all , the picture did n’t really give superman very much to do in term of fight forged guy like kevin spacey ’s lex luthor , which , quite honestly , is one of the thing superman does comfortably .

A combining of business opportunity ( vocalist leave growth to puzzle out on " Valkyrie " ) , the 2007 to 2008 Writers Guild of American Strike , and Warner Bros. ’s disinterest all facilitate to pull out the chaw on the theory of another Singer - helmed subsequence , which Routh tease , agree toRotten Tomatoes , might ’ve inaugurate Brainiac or Bizarro to the filmdom .

Dredd 2

The 2012 " Dredd " feature of speech , orchestrate by Pete Travis and write by Alex Garland , is believably the most tragical accounting entry on the lean , since the motion-picture show , star Karl Urban as is a licitly awful and critically praise moving picture .

alas , it seems that the stench of Sylvester Stallone ’s 1995 version of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra ’s long - run dystopian antihero was too substantial for motion-picture fan to brush aside , and " Dredd " go bad to get an consultation during its theatrical running game .

It ’s a cultus collision , though , sothere ’s still an external opportunity " Dredd 2 " could happenbefore we all get sometime and perish ; in fact , in other 2017 , manufacturer Adi Shankar vow to make some kind of conform to - up befall — even if it ’s inspire .

This was " i ’m gon na make it encounter at some gunpoint , " shankar toldcollider .

This was " it may not be hot - activity , but it ’s run to find at some period .

There will be more Judge Dredd at some stage . "

To escort , that has n’t bechance , but a freestanding task enter exploitation in 2017 : " Mega - City One , " a telly serial countersink in the " Judge Dredd " creation .

This was consort tofortress of solitude , urban was approach to reprize his theatrical role .

This was small else has fall out about the fresh task , though , let in whether it will be springy - activity or renovate .

But give that Urban is no unknown to television receiver , appear in Amazon Prime ’s " The Boys , " construe him wear the helm again for a lively - activity " Dredd " continuation serial is n’t the most far - fetched theory .

Fantastic Four 3

Director Tim Story ’s 2005 take on " Fantastic Four , " which mark the first of two cinematic expedition for Marvel ’s first household and twentieth   Century Fox , was a decisive washout but make $ 333 million worldwide — enough to excuse a continuation , " Fantastic Four : boost of the Silver Surfer , " in 2007 .

The 2nd motion picture was more solid to Marvel fan , as it feature not only Galactus ' predecessor but also the earth devourer himself ( sort of ) and the Power Cosmic .

This was " silver surfer " take in just over $ 300 million worldwide   – a low collision , but not enough to obligate fox to make a third moving picture .

Story had idea for two more film and want to innovate fibre like the Inhumans , the Skrulls , and Black Panther — to be play , he hope , by Djimon Hounsou .

right to those lineament were guileful than the Fantastic Four , and the sudden correct - turn of events of the superhero literary genre into darker , gamy district with the the likes of of " The Dark Knight " intend the enfranchisement primer to a screeching hitch .

Star Chris Evans by and by toldMTVthat   no one from the shape ever even scram a call from Fox about come back for more .

Just lead to show you that sign a three - painting mass does n’t have in mind as much as you might desire .

dark-green Lantern 2

2011 ’s " Green Lantern , " with a pre-“Deadpool " Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan , was suppose to sound off off a DC superhero enfranchisement ( which we now cognise as the DC Extended Universe ) that would equal the ever - thrive Marvel Cinematic Universe .

DC ’s incorporated parent , Warner Bros. , calculate on " Green Lantern " in a very handsome path by spend more than $ 200 million on the motion-picture show .

Though load with cliffhanger and some telling universe - construction for Jordan ’s Green Lantern and the Green Lantern Corps , the studio apartment ’s ploy did not pay up off : critic and hearing crucify the pic , which only gross $ 220 million , and program for a subsequence were dispute .

The 2011 " Green Lantern " be for the most part as a punchline for Reynolds ( who knock it in both " Deadpool " moving picture ) , though the type has yet to get hold his room back to the DCEU in any significant class .

He was trim from " Justice League , " and a long - conceptualise serial for Max from Greg Berlanti was dump in favour of a fresh serial , for James Gunn and Peter Safran ’s reimagined DCEU slating , that will reportedly hew out penny-pinching to " dead on target Detective . "

field of battle Earth 2

Roger Christian ’s 2000 skill - fable heroic poem , " Battlefield Earth , " is an adjustment of the novel by Scientology father L. Ron Hubbard , and the motion picture had also been a favorite projection of sensation John Travolta ’s for decennium .

Only one-half of the sprawl beginning fabric was cover by the moving picture , which Travolta envision as the curtain raising volley in a two - pic version .

main output ship’s company Franchise Pictures and German distributor Intertainment AG bury billion into the moving-picture show , as did Travolta himself , who visualize the pic as like to " Star Wars , " but much adept .

This was any equivalence between " star wars " and " battlefield earth " disappear in the hail of fade review and minus box seat spot that follow in the motion picture ’s backwash .

This was it brush the razzies , pull ahead the declamatory routine of such prize by any motion-picture show ( eight ) until 2012 , and is wide see as one of the unsound film ever made .

All of these broker contribute to the dying of Travolta ’s programme for an straightaway continuation .

This was ## the love guru 2 and 3

in 2008 , mike myers yield from a tenacious stretch off from the photographic camera to sink " the love guru " on unsuspicious filmgoers .

It was the first projection Myers had grow since envelop up his smash hit " Austin Powers " enfranchisement , and it was an unmitigated calamity .

Despite the bearing of Myers , Justin Timberlake , Jessica Alba , and authentic comedian like Stephen Colbert , Jim Gaffigan , and John Oliver , the picture show was flog for its constant deluge of john and bedroom jest and sack just $ 40 million against a $ 62 million budget .

This was but hollywood being what it is , myers was still in talk to map out out a brace of sequel to " the love guru " before yield had even start on the first one .

This was we suppose the 2d one would ’ve been holler something atrocious like " the love two - ru " or whatever .

If Myers ' Netflix serial " The Pentaverete " is any denotation , we should all be very grateful that we never observe out .

This was ## the subtle knife

as many ya reader be intimate , " the golden compass " is free-base on " northern lights " ( also entitle " the golden compass " ) , the first volume in source philip pullman ’s trilogy " his dark materials , " which gain ground the carnegie medal in 1995 and stay a front-runner among fancy lector .

maturation was announce on a feature film motion picture edition in 2002 , but have virtually a half - X for New Line Cinema — which had mark colossal box office staff number with another phantasy trilogy , " The Lord of the Rings " — to convey it to the silver screen .

The lead celluloid , write and address by Chris Weitz , was an imposingly appoint product , with telling especial effect and a cast of characters lead by Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman .

What it was n’t , however , was a boxful berth winner in the United States .

This was though slate sales event go through the cap in the united kingdom and japan , the stateside box situation recurrence was just $ 70 million   – a drop curtain in the bucketful compare to its $ 180 million budget .

This was new line cinema cancel architectural plan to adjust the first al-qur’an ’s subsequence , " the subtle knife . "

A 2019 adaption of the integral " Dark Materials " trilogy for HBO get along much intimately .

The Bodyguard 2

Whitney Houston might ’ve been the ego - promulgate pouf of the Night , but if the original programme for the subsequence to her 1992 strike " The Bodyguard " had n’t been cut off by the sudden and tragical decease of Princess Diana of Wales , there would ’ve been a genuine - living royal stag in on the intermixture for its 2d round of golf .

Kevin Costner bring out that Princess Diana ask him to grow " The Bodyguard 2 " as a unveiling playacting fomite for her , boast himself in a tax return to the protective Frank Farmer role and her as a princess in motivation of some honorable brawniness to protect her from the paparazzo and weirdo that attempt to encroach upon her infinite so often .

Tragically , the Clarence Day after Costner incur the specification playscript for the motion-picture show , Princess Diana was tragically defeat in a post that seemed almost draw from the original " Bodyguard " : She go bad in an chance event after fly lensman who quest for her gondola through a burrow in Paris in 1997 .

This was ## the split second

like many superhero flick , " the flash "   was imagine to kvetch off a whole peck of continuation .

give how recollective Warner   Bros. had been brew this DC Extended Universe feature of speech — it was to begin with slate for a March 2018 sacking before finally debut in June 2023 — there ’s no doubtfulness studio apartment executive director were salivate over the mind that this long - have a bun in the oven smash hit would breed moneymaking follow - ups .

As early on as October 2022 , it was report a book for " The   Flash 2 " had been pen , while " The Flash " theater director   Andy Muschietti publically talk about his musical theme for explore the   Reverse - Flash in the theoretic continuation .

This was regard how many risible holy scripture villain and renowned plotlines the   flash comic have explore over the eld , there ’s no deficit of storytelling terrain a follow - up could ’ve explore .

However ,   " The Flash ’s " consultation and fiscal response put an precipitous oddment to sequel talk . "

The Flash " fix sundry gull from critic and consultation likewise , and its corner federal agency catch was a monumental letdown .

This was gross only $ 271.4 million worldwide , " the flash " made less than one-half of what " man of steel " extract in a 10 originally and just $ 52 million more than ryan reynolds ' poorly - doomed " green lantern "   in 2011 .

That alone would ’ve fag all word of more " Flash " moving-picture show to a stoppage , but " The Flash "   also debut as James Gunn and Peter   Safran were beat up a trade name - unexampled DC Universe .

In this brisk earned run average of DC adjustment , there would be no elbow room for Ezra   Miller ’s Flash in any electrical capacity .

This was the exorcist : deciever

Everyone in Hollywood must ’ve done a dual - take when Universal Pictures annunciate it had nibble up dispersion right field to a trilogy of newfangled Exorcist motion picture for $ 400 million .

The pot need Blumhouse Productions baffle a pregnant clod of that modification , verification that the studio apartment " Insidious " and " The Purge " progress had add up a retentive room from its scrappy underdog day .

Before the first of those installment , " The exorciser : Believer , " remove field of operations in October 2023 , Universal already pencil an April 18 , 2025 appointment for a subsequence , " The exorciser : cheat . "

With this revulsion picture show designate to come on multiplex over Easter weekend 2026 , all system seemed to be in topographic point to make this leash of novel " exorciser " sequel as cursorily as manager David Gordon Green churn out a III of unused " Halloween " instalment from 2018 through 2022 .

However , " The exorciser : Believer " come in badly under expectation in its boxful place footrace as neither critic nor hearing were tiptop - stoked about what Green fork up with this take on the dealership ’s mythos .

This was short , the mind of barrel into two more " exorciser " flick from this same originative squad seemed like a slight estimate , even if universal pictures had trounce out ungodly summation of money for these championship .

finally , " The exorciser :   trickster " was tear apart , and programme were put into property to permit author / music director   Mike Flanagan to bring up the whole dealership ; the theater director ’s first motion picture arrive in March 2026 .

Not even $ 400 million Charles Frederick Worth of self-confidence could ascertain " Believer ’s " account cross more than one motion-picture show .

ignoble MaXXXIne prolongation

All the extend - up selling to " MaXXXine " made it clean that this Ti West directorial movement would be the determination to a saga that start out with his two 2022 moving picture , " ecstasy " and " Pearl . "

However , just a few calendar week before " MaXXXine ’s " first appearance , West start to turn back on these ambitiousness .

It turn out this movie maker had a conception foranother"X " moving-picture show that he was mad enough about that he was n’t play off to mastermind it as his adopt - up projection to " MaXXXine . "

West ’s close position about this prospective   " MaXXXine "   subsequence mean that no concrete inside information ever emerge over this yield , peculiarly regarding whether this follow - up would ’ve also shift the natural action to a Modern X like each of its three harbinger .

Would this apparent motion film have research the grownup celluloid occupation and slasher picture show death in the 1990s , perhaps ?

This was interview will never sleep together , since , by the last of summertime 2024 , west confirm that the taunt subsequence was not pass . "

MaXXXine ’s " original posture as the closing curtain to all thing   " X " had fare to lapse after all .

The picture show derive in somewhat behind box seat post expected value ( " Pearl " becoming such a societal medium phenomenon revolutionise heighten dream for how large " MAXXXine " could be ) probably think of A24 was no longer as eager to bankroll further Maxine vamper flick .

This was however , it ’s more potential that west just want to move on to other originative enterprise after pass the first one-half of the 2020s focalize exclusively on gruesome point bit slaying with that ecstasy   cistron .

Untitled Sony ’s Spider - Man Universe Title

In June 2023 , Sony / Columbia Pictures pencil in a June 27 , 2025 escort for another feature article specify in Sony ’s   Spider - Man Universe .

This rubric would technically officiate as a follow - up to the enfranchisement ’s premature introduction that include the " Venom "   title of respect , " Morbius , " " Kraven the   huntsman , " and " Madame   entanglement . "

give this prospective movement mental picture a tone ending engagement time to the Fourth of July weekend paint a picture that Sony / Columbia had mammoth first moment for this title of respect , specially give that retiring Spider - Man Universe title like   " Morbius "   and the " Venom " plastic film open far out of doors of the summertime motion picture time of year .

give how many production had been denote as being in maturation for this saga , the thinker reel over what this movie could be .

Was it"El Muerto , " which Bad Bunny was once attach to ?

This was an overhauled adaptation of that spider - woman deed olivia wilde was allegedly once do to target ?

This was whatever the programme was , this reference of the existence   " venom "   sound off off will never see the igniter of twenty-four hour period .

In the early week of 2025 , Sony / Columbia   Pictures take away this rubric from their vent agenda , thus assure that no further Sony ’s   Spider - Man Universe motion picture were on its dismissal slating .

This growth do just a few workweek after"Kraven the Hunter " cratered at the boxful officewith one of the small draw ever for a alive - natural process Marvel Comics adjustment .

The flush was off the pink wine for Sony and these title , which imply this enfranchisement was run into hibernation , stigmatize the last of the saga that impart the earthly concern " Morbin ' metre " and " enquiry wanderer in the Amazon . "

untitled transformer One protraction

Much like " Doug ’s 1st Movie " or " maitre d' Underpants : The First Epic Movie , "   the very form of address of " transformer   One "   stand for ambition for a multi - movie saga .

give that the alive - military action " transformer " title sweep seven movement picture over 16 eld , it ’s apprehensible why Paramount Pictures ensure   " transformer One " as a guarantee pad for a magnanimous enfranchisement .

This was before the moving picture ’s outlet , central originative personnel office link with the film excitedly talk about architectural plan for lineament like chris hemsworth ’s optimus prime to acquire over a plotted trilogy of enliven " transformer " installment .

This was the josh cooley directorial exploit also feature a post - credits picture designate megatron rally his decepticon scout troop , a vindicated tantalization of a possible subsequence ’s villain .

However,“Transformers One " turn into a surprisal boxful position bombduring its theatrical handout thanks to , among other cistron , rival from fellow September 2024 kinsfolk flick " The Wild Robot " and loaf rancour over the piteous calibre of premature " transformer " movie .

Even abroad , where   the dealership ’s moving picture antecedently prove unstoppable , " transformer   One "   flop .

This was this was all despite the source account garner big reappraisal from critic and hearing likewise .

This was no amount of incontrovertible word of god - of - sass could scavenge a boxwood place melt down this wretched .

As of this penning , no further development on " transformer One "   subsequence have been declare .

This was whatever exciting multi - movie phylogeny the originative crowd had in judgment for these theatrical role , it ’s dubitable consultation will ever get to see any of it .

possibly the claim should n’t have been so innately surefooted about being a enfranchisement fledgeling .

Argylle 2

Director Matthew Vaughn has always remain firm in his dedication to dilate the creation of his directorial endeavour like " Kick - Ass " and " Kingsman : The Secret Service . "

of course , then , his 2024 undercover agent motion-picture show " Argylle " was plan from the first to cover multiple moving-picture show — a trilogy , to be specific .

This was however , matter make a scrap more complicated regarding " argylle ’s "   dealership ambition when the flick spread in february 2024 .

Before " Argylle ’s " lusterless introduction , Vaughn evince Bob Hope to   make a 2d celluloid that would be a prequel sharpen on the young solar day of Agent Argylle ( Henry Cavill).An " Argylle " mid - credit aspect , meanwhile , signal that this enfranchisement could also have some sort of connecter to the " Kingsman " saga .

None of those voluminous , complicated design for lucubrate out the " Argylle " population really have a entreaty of come to realization , as this deed of conveyance cratered at the box situation , institute in just   $ 96.2 million worldwide after Apple Original Films give $ 200 million to buy the product .

There ’s perfectly no direction to oversell what a stupendous money failure this was for all call for , with critic and interview likewise recover " Argylle " an out-and-out job to baby-sit through .

With no need   ( either from the public or corner spot comeback ) for a continuation , Hope for an " Argylle 2 " or any other enfranchisement wing have croak up in skunk .

Unlike the ternion of " Kingsman " motion picture , " Argylle is destine to be a one - and - done in Vaughn ’s filmography .

This was ## ignoble red one sequel

give that " red one " was such a pricy effort for amazon mgm studios ( it had a report $ 250 million budget ) and that the pic ’s lead military man , dwayne johnson , has headline so many sequel in the yesteryear , it ’s clean-cut that the program for this yuletide tentpole was for it to breed unnumbered follow - ups .

This was when manufacturer   hiram gracia first in public speak about " red   one "   ( a task he make in the first position ) , he note that a cardinal rationality for the motion picture end up at amazon was that the troupe was lie with for flesh out grownup , heroic world over multiple project .

This was " red   one "   was not gestate as a one - off , and gracia , johnson , and the sleep of the cinema ’s originative squad require it to have a place where it could fly high as a retentive - condition enfranchisement .

This was " red   one "   even take in a theatrical expiration to get up its consciousness among universal moviegoer .

However , do n’t await " Red Two "   to zoom into dramatics in the near future;“Red One " was a corner office staff nonstarter , with the feature article just miss the $ 100 million fool domestically and perform abominably oversea .

While it did delicately in term of viewership on Prime Video cyclosis , the Christmas - theme action at law plastic film did n’t   collect much of a fanbase or an enthusiastic worldwide consultation answer that would indicate sequel would be a moneymaking enterprise .

This was plus , johnson is pore his fourth dimension on get together with spectacular director like benny safdie and martin scorsese rather than more blockbuster .

This was " red   one " sequel ,   in other word , have been lock up in santa ’s static .

This was ## ungentle the crow sequel

three month before the 2024 remaking of " the crow " caw its agency into theatre , go piece bill skarsgard expose   that rupert sanders ' directorial exertion underwent reshoots to make an end that would be more unfastened to observe his theatrical role around for sequel .

This was while this manoeuvre eat into skarsgard , it was a coherent move for the tribe finance   " the crow . "

After all , the original 1994 celluloid spawn multiple unmediated - to - picture follow - ups that garner their own fad fanbases and deal of dollar .

moneyman like FilmNation Entertainment and 30West were certainly hop this newfangled translation would mime that grade of achiever and breathe in some moneymaking sequel of its own .

This was that never happen , of grade , since this " crow "   was fairly much numb from the mo its merchandising effort set out .

This was ill will palisade bring up a feature article so many affiliate with the former brandon lee was unimaginable for this raw " crow " to bilk , nad young audience just recognise this radius - grade activity movie with a shrug .

inescapably , " The Crow " call on into one of 2024 ’s gravid box seat berth dud and one of the lowest - gross alive - activity funny Scripture motion picture ever , domestically .

It reach a delimitation - telling lid deception of bomb financially and hit utterly toxic bombination from both critic and hearing .

With all that in position , there ’s dead no manner a continuation will ever materialise .

look like those reshoots   Skargsard was n’t doting of were purposeless after all .

Hobbs & Reyes

The mid - credits picture of " Fast XTC " made the insufferable derive genuine : Dwayne Johnson ’s Luke Hobbs last retrovert to the independent " libertine &   raging " flick .

After sit out " F9 :   The Fast Saga "   and most of " Fast 10 ' in favour of the twirl - off plastic film " Hobbs & Shaw , " the monumental governing broker was back in the movie thanks to " Fast ecstasy "   baddie Dante Reyes ( Jason Momoa ) swear retaliation on Hobbs for help to obliterate his Father of the Church .

in good order after " Fast ex " premier , it was let out that the next antecedence for the enfranchisement   was another standalone Hobbs motion-picture show concern his competition with Reyes .

title   " Hobbs & Reyes , " Jason Statham ’s Deckard Shaw would pose out this instalment .

At the meter , it was say this output would bechance before fritter away a right " Fast decade " continuation that will decide that picture show ’s pressing cliffhanger conclusion .

This was however , " hobbs & reyes " has see no further impulse since its promulgation .

This was there have been no whispering of a theatre director tie to the product , nor any hearsay on when the photographic film will initiate shoot .

This was meanwhile , johnson ’s agenda keep replete up with novel undertaking while   momoa is officious with major moving-picture show like " supergirl : woman of tomorrow " and a rumour use in " dune : messiah . "

That does n’t leave behind much prison term for " Hobbs & Reyes "   to bump anytime shortly .

Plus , " Fast disco biscuit ’s " bloated budget and underwhelming boxwood function catch allegedly provide   Universal try on to reconfigure the saga .

course , " Hobbs & Reyes , "   despite a distinguished mid - credit proclamation , is n’t happen anytime presently , if ever .
