10 Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed
These films don't have much hope of success.
While it's fair to say that a film has the potential to surprise all of us until the moment we're sat down watching it for ourselves, audiences have also become incredibly adept at sniffing out a doomed project months, even years ahead of time.
With the sheer amount of information we have about any film long before it releases - through a combination of set leaks and official marketing materials - it's usually easy to figure out which way the winds are blowing.
And that's absolutely true of these 10 upcoming movies, each of which may very well be circling the drain already.
From what we've seen and heard so far, it seems like these films are all likely going to fail to meet expectations critically if not also commercially.
Whether their trailers paint a rough picture or reliable reports suggest they've been in post-production hell for years, these films seem destined to come and go in record time without making much of a dent.
It'd be great to be wrong of course, and none of these films are beyond surprising us, but it's also not looking terribly likely...
10. The Authority
In 2023, it was announced that James Gunn's DC Universe would include a film based on superhero team The Authority, one of whose members is The Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), who was introduced in Gunn's recent Superman movie.
Though Gunn has spoken of The Authority as a major passion project, its development has stalled as other DC films have taken priority, with Gunn even admitting back in February that the script has been tough to figure out, causing it to be put on the backburner.
But rumours recently began to swirl that Gunn might've quietly cancelled The Authority altogether, given that while doing press for Superman, he was generally evasive about discussing The Authority and didn't mention it as part of the DCU's upcoming slate at San Diego Comic-Con.
While The Authority may not be formally cancelled any time soon, it sure seems like Gunn is deciding to focus instead on more mainstream DC properties like Supergirl, Clayface, Wonder Woman, and Teen Titans, with The Authority likely just evaporating into the ether.
