25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

11. Last Man

David Ayer
Leviathyn

David Ayer has a rather patchy history with movies about squads of people, given the wild difference between Suicide Squad and the excellent and horribly underrated Fury, and it appears he was in line to wade into those waters again.

Last Man would have followed a squad of young American soldiers stationed on a distant planet who encounter an alien attack. It's been with Fox for a decade now, since they bought Ayer's pitch for a reported (and astronomical) seven figure fee but very little has happened on that front since.

Given the title and the overlap in concepts with Fury, perhaps Ayer just decided to focus his energy on exploring what it's like to be the last man alive in a war in a different way. Nevertheless, Last Man was never officially cancelled until Disney's cull.
