10 More Upcoming Movies That Are Already Doomed
7. Bill & Ted 4
2020's third Bill & Ted film, Bill & Ted Face the Music, wasn't a great sequel, but it more-or-less avoided the pitfalls of belated comedy follow-ups, delivering a watchable-if-forgettable romp that didn't disgrace the legacy of its predecessors.
Yet as the film made just $6.3 million at the box office - admittedly on limited release while also launching on VOD the same day - it truly seemed like a one-and-done situation. But at the start of this year, star Alex Winter revealed that series writers Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon are working on the script for Bill & Ted 4, with the intent to get it into production in the near future.
However, given that Face the Music was "pretty OK" against the odds, going back to the well again certainly feels like tempting fate, and fans will likely be less charitable this time around as that they won't have been waiting almost 30 years for a new movie. Then again, this is all assuming it ever actually goes before cameras, of course, considering that Face the Music wasn't exactly a storming commercial success.
