4 movies that will likely be cancelled very soon

It's been an interesting year for movies. Some big-budget franchises staged the comeback they needed to make while other studios unveiled long-awaited sequels that made box-office history. There were also some surprises, overperforming in certain markets and outdoing all expectations to bring their own franchises back to their glory days. And then there were the disappointing ones that struggled out of the gate and didn't quite make the mark they needed to.

Yes, 2024 had it all at the movies. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was probably the biggest surprise, outperforming expectations to deliver the MonsterVerse's best performance ever five movies in. Deadpool and Wolverine brought the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to its billion-dollar glory days, all while bringing Hugh Jackman's Logan and Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson into the MCU franchise for the first time. And then there is Disney's Inside Out 2, which has gone on to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.

It's been a big year for sure, and that's before we factor in major releases like October's Joker: Folie à Deux and Venom: The Last Dance. So who knows what awaits from the box office in these coming months before 2024 wraps up. But that right there gives audiences a chance to look ahead to what's coming in the years ahead, and movies that probably should have already come out by now.

There are a number of movies on the horizon that may end up being cancelled, too. That shouldn't be the case because fans were looking forward to these titles, but for reasons such as development hell or a change in leadership, these upcoming movies might not see the light of day.
