15 Announced Movies That Will Probably Never Happen
12. Fantastic Four 2
What We Know: A sequel to 2015's Fantastic Four was hubristically announced before filming on the original film even began, with a June 2017 release date set in stone, but once the film flopped critically and commercially, those plans were not-so-quietly put on hold and Fantastic Four 2 was removed from Fox's film slate.
Why It Won't Happen: Even though Miles Teller and Kate Mara are keen to return despite the first film's infamous production, it's incredibly unlikely that Fox would be dumb enough to roll the dice on these actors and this tainted property.
The only thing that makes sense is some sort of reboot (again), either by way of a TV series that potentially leads to a movie, or maybe introducing them in another Fox Marvel film, and if they aren't terrible, maybe greenlight a lower-budget solo film (which could be challenging given the CGI requirements).
But no, even though Fox are reportedly keen to keep the series alive, they're not totally stupid.
