25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

2. The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Ever since Sean Connery ended his career on the spectacular downnote of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - on the back of a tumultuous production that saw him clash badly with director Stephen Norrington in public - there have been whispers of a reboot of the franchise.

After all, the comics were great and the story - essentially an Expendables of fictional heroes and anti-heroes - has huge potential for adaptation. That's why a reboot was spirited into being in 2015 by Fox and producer John Davis, who subsequently revealed that it would be a female-centric story. Which makes the title a little confusing, but no matter.

It's now as over as Connery's career. Until someone revives it in the future and flirts with disappointing us all over again, that is.
