25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

6. Flash Gordon

Before Taika Waititi was attached to make Thor 4 and everyone got all excited about the God Of Thunder's new lease of life in the MCU again, the hotly-rated director was also attached to two huge remakes in the shape of Akira and the only recently announced animated take on Flash Gordon.

It was only revealed in June that he was attached to the project, but then Comic Con came around and made him a lot busier, so perhaps the studio knew then that Flash Gordon wouldn't be moving forward?

This is one of those projects that's been mentioned repeatedly over the years thanks to the cult appeal of the original movie, so there will be lots of upset fans, but that's just the way financial disappointment works these days.
