What they should have done is combined all of those properties into one movie

I think some of these probably would've ended up scrapped anyway.

Actually looking at the article some of them are just like "there were rumors Fox would make this back in 2012". This is a non-article.

Thank God they cancelled the abomination of the die hard prequel. The last sequel was bad enough. Let's just say it ends at 4.

Yes. All these articles about this are ridiculous. Most of these movies, if not all, are essentially pitched. Go find me the director or writers attached to any of them and I would be impressed

According to the article, Taika Watiti was tapped for the Flash Gordon reboot.

Magic could have been good. Admittedly, given how many settings it's had over the years, you could slap a few bits of terminology on pretty much any fantasy film and claim it's based on M:TG. But something based on the Gatewatch vs Eldrazi storyline could have made a great trilogy.

Flash Gordon could have been amazing if they played it in the spirit of the original, but it's much more likely it would have been a totally generic space film and thus sucked.

Well thats just great, the first thing I hear about this Megaman movie is it being cancelled. Thanks, Disney.

Assassin's Creed was the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life, so I am glad it's not getting a sequel
I didn't see Hitman but I heard it sucked and wasn't very "Hitman"y at all so I am glad it's dead too

Mega Man probably would have been a disaster and as much as I want the series to revive and be more popular...let's stick to good games instead.

They cancelled A HELL of a lot more movies than 12, like literally hundreds, and the ones you listed were not in production, or even in pre production, they were just in super early stages of attaching talent.

https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/cnfixp/a_comprehensive_list_of_all_the_former_fox/

I think the ones in production (which means actually being filmed) aren't being cancelled.. .yet.

the only things they're keeping that weren't finished or nearly done with post-production are Avatar and Planet of the Apes. Also select Fox Searchlight stuff, but they're reorganizing those projects (they just gave one to Taika Waititi)

and I guess the concept of Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool is also staying. MAYBE Hugh Jackman as Wolverine but at this point it's unlikely.

literally anything else has been shitcanned which is way more than 12

I don't think they were but Fassbender had signed on for 4 of them iirc so they probably had it on the back burner in case they needed to do a soft reboot to fill a hole in the slate or something

I guess Nintendo and Platinum are going the multimedia route for Astral Chain.
