25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

13. Hitman 2(?)

Hey, who here enjoyed the Hitman movie starring Timothy Olyphant? Anyone? No, didn't think so. How about 2015's Hitman: Agent 47 starring Rupert Friend? No? Thought not.

Still, the game franchise and the titular assassin had enough fans that Fox still wanted to try and make another fist of a successful adaptation. Whether this would have been a sequel to Agent 47 or a reboot or the suggested TV series from the creator of John Wick remains to be seen, but it's apparently one of the projects that has now hit the skids.

Interestingly, James Gunn once pitched to make an R-Rated sequel to the 2007 dud and was shot down. So Fox deserved how badly the sequel ended up being.
