25 Huge Movies Disney Just Cancelled

3. Assassin's Creed 2

While Michael Fassbender apparently knew exactly why the first Assassin's Creed movie - which was supposed to kick off an entire series channelling the popularity of Ubisoft's mega gaming series - failed (so do we, it was rubbish), the failure didn't seem to dampen Fox's enthusiasm to make another.

Or at least to consider one. The sequel was, somewhat foolishly, announced before the first film was released - and thus before it was able to bomb, and unsurprisingly, there's been very little movement on that front since. Likewise, a possible Assassin's Creed anime that was mentioned around 2016 has also dried up.

It's a shame we didn't get to see how someone might have tried to fix how broken the adaptation series was, but maybe we should take it as a win that we aren't getting another potentially disappointing video game movie?
