15 Cancelled Movies From Beloved Creators (That We Almost Got To Watch)

Before Disney decided to make The Mandalorian, they were going to make a Boba Fett standalone movie that sounds … well, pretty badass. Here’s the full story, plus 14 others:

15

Neill Blomkamp was supposed to direct a fifth Alien movie for a while. It would happen after Aliens, and ignore the other two sequels - but the whole thing was ditched in favor of Ridley Scott's Prometheus. CRACKED.COM — Source

14

Sam Raimi almost got to make the fourth movie in his Spider-Man series. The only reason he didn't? He couldn't get the script right by the deadline. It really was the most amicable and undramatic of breakups, he said. CRACKED.COM — Source

13

A Lego Batman sequel was in the works for a while, but sadly got cancelled. R The movie was written by Michael Waldron (Loki) and Dan Harmon, and it was supposed to be kind of similar to The Godfather Part II. CRACKED.COM — Source

12

There was supposed to be a whole trilogy of X-Force movies from Fox. COMICS FORCE E DORCE Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) was onboard to write and possibly direct, but the idea got ditched so they could just make Deadpool instead. CRACKED.COM — Source

11

We almost got to see a fourth Pokemon film written by the original writer Takeshi Shudo's idea for a fourth movie involved the Pokemon revolting against their owners which, really, would have been amazing to watch. CRACKED.COM — Source

10

We nearly got to see a Disney film version of Jack and the Giant Beanstalk. The movie was called Gigantic, and it was going to be directed by Tangled co-director Nathan Greno, but Disney just changed its mind and scrapped it. CRACKED.COM — Source

9

Charlie's Angels director McG nearly made a Superman film (written by JJ Abrams). Wond SAN But he lost out on the opportunity for a pretty unfortunate reason: his phobia of flying prevented him from getting to important meetings. CRACKED.COM — Source

8

There was a Batman sequel that Joel Schumacher didn't get to make. It was called Batman Unchained, and it would feature Scarecrow and Harley Quinn (who'd be Jack Nicholson's Joker's daughter) teaming up. CRACKED.COM — Source

7

Daredevil series creator Drew Goddard nearly made a Spider-Man spinoff movie. It was going to be released in 2016, and it would be about the redemption of villainous Sinister Six (it might not have featured Spidey at all). CRACKED.COM — Source

6

There was supposed to be a horror-themed Aquaman spinoff called The Trench. It was developed by Aquaman director James Wan, and it was going to be about the creatures that showed up back in Aquaman. CRACKED.COM — Source

5

Taika Waititi was supposed to direct a live-action Akira movie slated for 2021. But before production on the movie even managed to get started, Warner Bros. apparently changed their mind and just pulled the plug on it. CRACKED.COM — Source

4

Joe Manganiello wrote a script for a Deathstroke movie, but it didn't go anywhere. Manganiello himself would have played Deathstroke, and the movie would have been kind of similar to the Jason Bourne franchise. CRACKED.COM — Source

3

James Cameron nearly directed a Spider-Man movie before Sam Raimi did. His idea involved Electro (AKA Carlton Strand) being the main villain, and it was surprisingly dark by 1990s superhero movie standards. CRACKED.COM — Source

2

Steven Spielberg almost directed a movie all about a robot apocalypse. ROBOPOCALYPSE DANIEL H. WILSON It was called, well, Robopocalypse, and it was about human survivors in the post-apocalypse desperately fighting a robot army led by an AI. CRACKED.COM — Source

1

We almost had a Boba Fett standalone movie directed by James Mangold. Mangold is the guy who directed Logan, so his interpretation of Fett would have been pretty interesting but Disney dropped the movie for The Mandalorian. CRACKED.COM — Source
