Canceled Comic Book Movie Spinoffs. Comic book movies have come to dominate cinema in the last twenty years, and it now feels like barely a day goes by without a new sequel/reboot/shared universe being announced.

The genre also has many fascinating abandoned projects that came close to happening, like Tim Burton’s Superman Lives, Green Arrow: Escape From Supermax and George Miller’s Justice League: Mortal. The reasons these movies were scrapped vary from case to case, be it bad timing, script or budget issues, or the studio simply getting cold feet. Comic book movie spinoffs have also proven to be a tricky genre for studios to master, despite their built- in name value; for every raging success like Logan, there’s an Elektra or Supergirl lurking around the corner. Even Wolverine got off to a shaky start with X- Men: Origins. Maybe that’s why studios are reluctant to embrace them, and why so many planned spinoffs never escape development hell.

Some of these projects sounded ill- conceived from the beginning, but a couple of them could have been pretty cool with the right talent behind the camera. We’ll never know either way, so here are the top 1.

Cancelled Comic Book Movie Spin. Offs, and the reasons why they never got made. The Sinister Six. The Amazing Spider- Man franchise is one of the more embarrassing examples of a studio being humbled in recent memory, where Sony seemed more focused on crafting sequels and spinoffs than delivering quality films.

The Amazing Spider- Man 2 was particularly messy as a result, being loaded with unnecessary subplots and characters, with storylines left unresolved so future sequels could pick them up. While the movie was in production, Sony announced a Sinister Six spinoff, where a rogues gallery of Spidey’s villains would assemble for a “heist” movie. Harry Osborn was would be the leader – as teased by the end of the second movie – with other confirmed team members including Rhino and Dr Octopus. Drew Goddard was attached as writer/director, and he described it as a “redemption” story for the team.

While Sony was excited about the film, it came to screeching halt when their second Spidey film underperformed, and the studio instead negotiated a deal to bring Spider- Man into the MCU. Another version of the concept is likely to happen down the road, but it will have no ties to the version Goddard developed. Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman. While Batman Returns is well liked now, it received something of a backlash upon release. The film was considered too dark and disturbing for younger viewers, and the box office disappointed Warner Bros to the point they decided to make the next entry – Batman Forever – much lighter. Around this time, the studio was still interested in pursuing a solo Catwoman film, with Michelle Pfeiffer reprising the role and Tim Burton directing.

Every movie being released this fall, including 'Miss Peregrine,' 'Girl on the Train,' 'Loving,' and many more. Directed by Spike Jonze. With John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener, John Malkovich. A puppeteer discovers a portal that leads literally into the head of movie. The Amazing Spider-Man franchise is one of the more embarrassing examples of a studio being humbled in recent memory, where Sony seemed more focused on crafting.

A script was written where Selina Kyle finds herself in a Las Vegas style city following the previous movie, and she has amnesia. This city is run by male superheroes, but when they prove ineffective, Selina has to become Catwoman again. Unfortunately, the script was turned in shortly before the big success of Forever, which proved the family friendly tone was more lucrative. Burton and Pfeiffer soon lost interest too, and the idea was abandoned. Warner Bros revived the concept of a solo Catwoman movie years later as a star vehicle for Halle Berry; history knows how well that panned out. The Nightstalkers. While the first two Blade movies hold up as great action movies, Trinity profoundly does not.

Everything from the story to the action is weak, and Wesley Snipes is on autopilot throughout. Oddly enough, the film seems to function as a testing ground for Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool, where his Trinity character is a wisecracking, irrelevant action hero. It’s well known that Snipes wasn’t a happy camper onset; he was unhappy that the original post- apocalyptic concept was dropped, and that Blade was saddled with two new heroes – Abigail Whistler and Hannibal King – who were being groomed for a spinoff called The Nightstalkers.

He responded by staying in his trailer, refusing to speak to director David Goyer, and only appearing onset for close- up shots. Had things gone to plan, The Nightstalkers would have had their own film series, with an alternate ending hinting that they’d be chasing Werewolves next. But Trinity only did mediocre business, and fan reaction to the new characters was tepid, so the idea was quickly scrapped. Watch Youth In Oregon Online Metacritic. She- Hulk. When the Bill Bixby era of The Incredible Hulk was due to wrap up for good with The Death Of The Incredible Hulk TV movie, a spinoff series featuring She- Hulk was proposed as a replacement.

In fact, the character (as well as her alter ego, Jennifer Walters) was supposed to appear in that movie, but for some reason, it didn’t happen. The studio then greenlit a TV movie that would lead into a potential series, with Jennifer being played by Mitzi Kapture and She- Hulk played by volleyball player Gabriele Reece. Despite Banner’s apparent death in the previous movie, he would have returned, befriending Walters on vacation. A hitman shoots Walters, and when she’s in desperate need of a blood transfusion, Banner has no choice but to give her his blood to save her. This would cause the Walters’ transformation, with this version of She- Hulk being another mute wrecking force like Ferrigno’s Hulk. While filming began, it was never completed, with the studio quickly losing confidence in Kapture’s ability to lead a potential series. A movie version with Brigette Nielsen was also announced shortly after the TV movie fell apart, though it’s unknown if it would have directly tied into the TV series.

War Machine. Rhodey has proved to be a great supporting character in the MCU, and he provides Tony Stark with a moral sounding board whenever he needs one. Don Cheadle has come to own the role after Terrance Howard’s controversial exit, and for a brief time, Marvel appeared interested in a solo entry for War Machine. Following Cheadle’s introduction in Iron Man 2, the actor confirmed a writer was hired for a potential spinoff, and in a later interview, he gave his pitch for the story. He felt Rhodey would choose to go rogue and take a mission against his superiors’ will, making him a fugitive. He’d have to avoid arrest while asking for Tony Stark’s help, and Cheadle felt this darker, more character driven approach would help set it apart from the other MCU films.
