#Galactus concept for the canceled fantastic four 3 movie series#
In an interview with io9, series producer Lauren Shuler Donner reported that David Goyer was slated to write and direct the next X-Men Origins movie, focusing on Magneto. Regardless of Hayter's ongoing interest, writers Jac Schaeffer and Ned Benson are currently attached to the project. However, many changes would have to be made, as his original script eventually leaked online. Since his script was an origin story, it could still work within the fabric of the MCU. In an interview with Collider, Hayter did say that he would be willing to work on another Black Widow film. Hayter alleged that the poor performance of other action films starring women (in an era defined by flops like Elektra and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life rather than the likes of The H unger Games, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Captain Marvel that would follow) is what caused Marvel to get cold feet and shelve his project. In a 2014 interview with Latino Review, Hayter revealed that he had written a Black Widow script ten years prior, and was even attached to direct the project at one point. Though many people know David Hayter as the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear series, he has also had a successful career as a screenwriter. As for Kramer's musical, it's pretty safe to say that Marvel won't be making anymore stage shows after Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark failed to amaze theater patrons. Ultimately, the project fell through, and we wouldn't see the metallic hero on the big screen until 2007's Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer. Paul McCartney was asked to contribute to the soundtrack, a reasonable request considering that the ex-Beatle is an avowed Marvel fan who even wrote a song about Magneto and Titanium Man.
The film would have starred Olivia-Newton John, fresh off of Xanadu herself, but she wasn't the only big name attached to the project.
According to Sean Howe's book Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, Kramer said of the project, "We're going to make an epic picture on the scope of 2001: A Space Odyssey with the kind of soundtrack that that film had, only using contemporary rock and roll."
Lee Kramer, the executive producer for the film Xanadu, expressed interest in making a Silver Surfer rock musical. Of course, not all pitches make it to production, and many concepts have fizzled midway through the journey from page to screen. With the filmgoing public eagerly buying tickets to see their favorite superheroes shine on the big screen again and again, here's a look back at a collection of canceled Marvel projects that will never get a chance to rival Endgame. The future of comic-based films seems brighter than ever, and considering the sheer amount of characters in the Marvel Universe, the possibilities are endless. With an endless parade of comic book movies coming down the line, it only seemed natural that audiences might eventually get bored. But now, with Avengers: Endgame challenging James Cameron's Avatar to take home the title of the highest grossing film of all time, it seems pretty safe to say that those fears of fatigue may have been premature. We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.Īt one point in the not-too-distant past, it seemed like people were increasingly worried about superhero fatigue.
