10 Abandoned Franchises That Deserved Another Movie

10. Push

While the script could have undoubtedly done with more than a little fine-tuning, Paul McGuigan's Push is still a killer concept, and would have likely fared much better had it arrived several years later when the Marvel Cinematic Universe had propelled the comic book genre to new heights.

Creating an entirely unique and engaging superhero mythology is no easy task, but the concept of individuals getting categorized by their powers and then manipulated into doing the bidding of a shadowy government agency managed to do just that despite the formulaic synopsis, and it seemed ripe with franchise potential.

However, the $38m movie failed to even crack $50m at the global box office, and we never got the chance to expand on the adventures of the various Movers, Watchers, Pushers, Shifters, Stiches, Shadows, Sniffs and Wipers and Bleeders that inhabited the world.
