10 Movie Franchises That Were Robbed Of An Ending

There are plenty of reasons for a movie not to be made, and many on this list have focused on the likes of poor showings at the box-office, or seeing an actor fired. Hellboy 3, however, seemingly never got made simply because of Guillermo del Toro's ridiculous schedule.

He and actor Ron Perlman created a Hellboy that earned itself a loyal army of fans. After The Golden Army released in 2008, such fans immediately looked to a third Hellboy movie, while the director didn't. Instead, del Toro was hired to direct The Hobbit.

Of course, this didn't work out, but upon leaving the project, it was Pacific Rim that the director went to, again putting off Hellboy 3.

Incredibly, it wasn't until 2017 that the threequel was officially cancelled, and after the David Harbour reboot became one of the biggest cinematic bombs in recent memory, it's unlikely any movie studio will touch the Hellboy property any time soon.
