- Hollywood has given moviegoers some epic trilogies like The Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, the Before Trilogy, Back to the Future, and The Godfather. Moviegoers have always had a thirst for trilogies, but there are quite a few movie franchises that have stopped short of becoming trilogies.
Whether it was due to sequels that weren't successful or studio executives pulling the plug, fans of these movies will never get to see a trilogy come to fruition.
Hollywood is a fickle place, and the best chance these short-lived franchises have is a reboot. Here are some movie trilogies that will sadly never be finished.

Which trilogy do you wish they'd finish?
The Divergent Trilogy. The studio got greedy and decided to split the last part into 2 movies. The first part failed and the final film was never made.
Justice league
Looper Hellboy
Eragon
The Amazing Spider-Man and Percy Jackson
Out of this entire list, John Carter should get a sequel if the original cast is willing to return. Underrated by far.
I agree. I liked the movie.
The marketing killed this movie and it was DOA when it hit movie theaters especially since critics reviews were brutal. But ironically everyone that i know that has actually seen the movie only had positive things to say about and actually enjoyed it. It’s a really shame honestly.
Of course.i have seen this more than 5 times.
It was a good movie. I did not understand the critical reviews.
I enjoyed the film
I loved John Carter. I don't know why it is so bashed on.
Same.... I was hoping for a sequel.
@@StrykirZDarque Me too!
I really didn’t understand what was going on with the story. I couldn’t even finish the movie
Me too
Horrible promotion from Disney ruined that movie cuz I loved it
Perlman and Del Toro should've finish the Hellboy trilogy
The movie studio wouldn't let them sady.
Original Hellboy duo was amazing... Wish we had the third one
The CG in those films were a lot better than the reboot. And that new hellboy looked like he's on crack
It's a disgrace what the studio did really. They stopped the third from being because they didn't want to put more money into it. only to make a reboot with barely a proper budget. And the result was that it was such shit they stopped any plans of making a sequel. Showed the audience why should they watch a film that played it too safe and cheap. When they could've given us a sequel that would've cost a little more but the quality would have been insanely great.
I honestly don't see the love for the original hell boy series or the original Spiderman series, like those movies were literally shit and were the furthest things from even being remotely close to the comics, the newer hellboy was awesome and actually followed a comic storyline but people refused to give it a chance because everyone is a del Toro fan boy
It's a shame that a Hellboy 3 was never made with the original cast of characters. I enjoyed the first two. Having read the Edger Rice Burroughs books as a kid I honestly didn't think the movie was bad. Enjoyed that one to.
John F Hellboy 3 was never made. The most recent Hellboy was a reboot
@@TheMarine0333 that reboot was awful
Scottish I heard I’ve heard so many bad things about it that there’s no point in giving it a watch
I didn't liked the reboot at the first time, but it is OK.
That was NOT Hellboy 3, they actually had to start all over so that's the NEW Hellboy🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
John Carter was actually a good movie they just didn’t promote it at all. No one knew what the heck it was.
I went in not knowing a single thing about it and loved it.
elseby Same here and I was quite pleased. I liked the actors from other movies they starred in so I gave it a chance.
I believe if the studio had done something as simple as keeping the original title "John Carter of Mars" the movie would have done much better. But it seems some at Disney actually wanted the movie to fail.
@@alabamaal225 wouldnt be the 1st time. They did the same with treasure planet
I didn't see it at the theaters because of their bad promotion. I didn't know what it was about. I saw it afterwards and loved it! Disney did it dirty!
Doesn’t it blow everyone’s minds how Disney owns almost everything. Just wait until Disney is the only studio left
They will collapse in on itself like a star. And we will start all over with cave paintings. And finger painting.
Michael Williamson ?
Disney seriously should be getting slapped with a Monopoly charge.
@@McKeinMull you do realise that ALL mergers and purchases theyve done HAVE BEEN reviewed before hand to prevent a monopoly, they arent to that point yet, a few more than yes their mergers will get denied
Agreed, i thought MONOPOLYS were illegal.
Amazon, Google. Since when is this sht legal all of the sudden. I guess alot of head hunchoes are getting their wheels greased.
John Carter was actually a decent movie
and HellBoy 3 should've been made, regardless its minimum budget or not, we deserve it!
nothing is about what we deserve. it's always been about money.
Honestly critics ruin underrated movies. Don’t get me wrong that’s their job is to find the good and bad in movies but when you have too much criticism on one film you wanted to watch it KILLS the mood
True even for a film is just okay. So much bad press can turn off audiences and a film that, while never to be a smash hit, would have otherwise been well liked and more than profitable just fizzles and dies.
I disagree. All the movies mentioned here are fine, but many of these were put out as franchise cash ins before artistic direction. Truley underrated movies rarely have the marketing all these films did. And it's those smaller movies you never heard of with great direction that you'll find critics supporting.
Prince of Persia was loved by fans but panned by critics.
I never cried even when my gf left me. But i cried when pop flopped
Agreed
@@jonsnow7264 so true
Don't worry Hollywood gets desperate and will make a sequel to any of these in the list. All it takes is a few years of separation and nostalgia forms
Or a reboot
Or coronavirus
and ruin it
Really sucks we won’t get a third Tron film. “Tron: Legacy” was an incredible film. The visuals and soundtrack were amazing.
No one talks about how zach snyder's daughter committed suicide and he couldnt finish the justice league film
Woah, for real?
I'm pretty sure he was fired. WB execs wanted a condensed film released by a certain date to receive their bonus that winter, and so they wanted Joss Whedon to take over as I'm assuming he agreed to it. But yea, his daughter did also commit suicide at the time. It's a tragedy, but I think the media made some assumptions with that simply because of timing.
Christian Cosa what o.o
The justice league you saw isn’t Zachs. It was 90% done by Joss Whedon!
Will the same thing happen to New Mutants, that happened to Justice League?
We need an all new Greek Mythology cinematic universe. Theseus, Perseus, Jason & The Argonauts, Euphemis, Hercales, Achilles, Odysseus, Olympians vs Titans, etc. There's so much story potential!
Troy was great! Could be a tv show. Imagine that cast in tv series. My god that would be perfect!
If only there wasn't so much emphasis on superhero films for now, I like them, but come on Greek mythology cool
Word!!!
@@MedjayofFaiyum they did Hercules and Perceus many times yeah. Odysseus or Argonauts, these two worthy getting their tv show. So many stories to tell.
I loved Hellboy one and two, I just wish Del Torro and Pearlman could have come out with a third one
You missed a big one for the zombie genre, *Twenty Eight Days Later*, followed by *Twenty Eight Weeks Later*. ..Never to see 28 Months or Years is very depressing.
I would love to see that
Agree, I love those movies!
I would say we wont see 28 Months Later because after 28WL the world went to shits, maybe if they made it like some kind of "worldwide apocalypse", but there are so many movies with this theme that it would lose its (28 Day and weeks) beauty of isolated England.
Thanks i hated them both with every fiber of my soul. England needs more sunshine and less zombies.
Tron legacy was bad ass. Soundtrack and visuals were on point
Tron legacy was bad ass. Soundtrack abd visuals were on point
they are making a tron 3 now with jared leto
It was the atrocious marketing that hamstrung john carter, the movie in it's self was good.
Yeah the film is a lot of fun, with great visuals and an impressive cast. Easy to forget Bryan Cranston is in it briefly! The promos and idiotic renaming of the film hurt it way too much. And unfortunately it was just too expensive. It was kind of doomed from the start...even though it's a good film.
you are 100% correct. the first problem was the name. it should have been called John Carter Warlord of Mars .. let people know what the hell it is.
Facts
Chris Nolan was interested in the DCEU , he was supporting Zack , he was sometimes on set. He helped bring Snydercut release. But he didnt direct any movies because he wanted to do his own movies.
Hay now!! John Carter is one of my favorites just they didn't do the advertising!
Can see that one over, and over!!👍👍👍
I really enjoyed John Carter, I wanted it to succeed
John Carter is a great film.
John Carter was pretty good. And gives you a bit of Star Wars vibes too
That's because John Carter's source material Princess of Mars (Originally published: 1912) inspired Star Wars. The OG SW movies (70s) were already well established with prequels in the 2000s that when John Carter was made it looked like a copy of SW. Sad. 😢
@@jma.v7873 thanks for the inputs !
I enjoyed John Carter and really wanted a sequel
Me too!
They need to make Battleship 2.
John Carter was/is a good movie just bad P.R.
Disney seriously should be getting slapped with a Monopoly charge.
spirittammyk Well I think he handed them the company thinking that they would still follow his vision and blueprints for the future Star Wars content he had presented them with, and was arrogant enough to believe them.
Google should get slapped with a monopoly charge as well
Absolutely
Yeah, they killed good TV series: Daredevil, Punisher etc.
How have they gotten away with it
Quick point on John Carter - the film's official budget includes 10 years and several attempts to get the film made. The actual film cost considerable less when you factor that in.
%90 of the movies listed here i would have spent money to go see their sequels.
Tron Legacy was supremely underrated. It was much deeper than at first glance and was one of the few movies I ever saw multiple times in-theater. A real shame it didn't go any further than it did. Exploring Quorra's experiences as she explored the difference between the digital and real worlds would have been very interesting.
I know they made a “Goal 3” but in my eyes there’s only 2 Goal movies, they should re-do the third one. I myself spilt also love to see a 23 jump street movie!
I really want TRON SEQUAL !!
I agree, I thought that Tron:Legacy was pretty good.
Actually they already did and it was a prequel
Ariel fangirl Mendez where ?
@@surged2720 it was tiled tron uprising
That's a cartoon not a movie.
I wouldn’t call the Zac Snyder Justice League his he never finished it due to family emergency and wb handed it to someone else
Joss Whedon
That's why it flunked
He finished it. Just not the reshoots.
He already shot most of it before the accident. Technically its still his fault.
@@selfconscience they only used 30% of his footage the rest was weedons. They also redid half the script after Zac's departure. Please tell me how it's still Zac's fault? I guess we will see when hbo realeses his cut next year.
Goddamnit! Disney quit stalling and give us the National Treasure 3 that we so deserve. Now that's a great short-lived film series that was actually quite interesting and a lot of fun.
Hmmm... now that the U.S. government has handed out trillions of dollars in much needed assistance to so many people, I'm not sure there's any national treasure left.
Nicolas Cage is torture to watch
We NEED Tron 3!
And we are getting it
I hope in tron 3, the game will manifest in the real world. The game will catch up on them in the real world.
John Carter was way underrated .. definitely deserves a sequel .. I think bad marketing ..
John Carter Story is Perfect
Independence Day is one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.
Independence Day 2...isn't.
Meme Iselfaneye Yeah it definitely wasn’t as good. I still enjoyed it but I know it wasn’t close to the original. I wish they would still make a third one though, because of the set up at the end of the second movie
ID 2 even tried to peddle to Chinese audiences and even that didn't work out.
I enjoyed both films and would love to see more 😁
What killed it was no Will Smith. As soon as I heard that I was uninterested. I imagine a lot of others felt that way too.
Yeah, the second film was horrible...
John Carter was a really good movie. maybe it wasn't advertised enough
Hell boy is the saddest on this list it had the worst timing when part two came out.
I feel that way about the first movie too. The mega hit Passion of the Christ came out a few months before and was still in theaters. Plus it was Easter time. Not a good idea releasing a movie titled HELLboy were the protagonist is a demon during it.
I'm sure a summer time release would have made more money.
I remember going to the movies with my mom and my late brother to see The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2 back to back.
I think it was really overstated about John Carter being the end of Disney's live action....it still made money nevertheless...and it's a pretty good movie...watch the ratings on Disney plus..
I always liked john carter never could figure why it never made money
I Iiked john carter. The first I heard of it was when it was in the new release section at the video store. I didn’t even know it was in cinemas and never saw marketing for it. I’m in Australia and swear it was never released here and never saw previews for it.
I think it didn't show here. I never saw it in cinema. I saw it as a new release too. It's just sad because it's an amazing movie but the dropped the Mars bit :(
How did John carter fail? It was really good.
really bad marketing.
Ron Perlman IS Hellboy
Hellboy 3 should of happened. John Carter is a good movie
John Carter was dope, the books are awesome
I might bring some hate, but the Lord of the Rings is just the best Trilogy. My opinion, tho.
I might be in the minority but I think the dark knight is a good film
no your not..it`s thought of as a great film..but a little dark...
These are movies that haven't or won't get a trilogy though so what does lotr have to do with it lol
i fall asleep every time i watch them
@@mattvillan4591 As if I care.
The lack of hellboy 3 still hurts
I loved clash of the titans and wrath of the titans. Wish they made a third.
Me too 😂I'm shocked to hear people didn't like them
@@davidkubuya6585 I loved everything about them both. I just dont understand what's not to really like about them lol
I enjoyed both films aswell but they were terrible
@@davidkubuya6585 they sort of pissed all over the original, without keeping any of the good parts. It was hard to enjoy something with such a disjointed "story".
@@MultiRibrob how were they terrible?
Amazing Spider-Man. Despite what people think of it I was curious how the first sinister six movie would be, and for the first week asm 2 actually outpaced the winter soldier financially.
I wished Hell Boy 3 was made so we could've seen how Hell boy and his love raised their children.
John Carter was one of my favorite movies ever.
Never even bothered to watch the new Spiderman movies. Tobey Maguire is the best one!
Oscar Woolrich I’d recommend it, they are very cool
@@gezi5927 🤡
Amen.
Tom Holland is a excellent Spider-Man. I think if you gave it a shot. You’ll really like them.
The mcu ones are really good but amazing spider man are meh
And Zack Snyders version of Justice League which he said would’ve been a trilogy 😢
It can still happen
I NEED Danny Boyle to complete the 28 Days Later trilogy!!! Goddamn, give us 28 Months Later already.
Agreed. It needs to be wrapped up properly
Neil butler Yess!! I’m still keeping hope. We’ll get that closure one day.
Those are the scariest zombies.
Yes!
Looking more like 28 years at this point
John Carter failed cause of marketing. It’s a brilliant film.
I just wish they finished the Percy Jackson trilogy 😭
Really hope that was sarcasm... Those movies were atrociously bad
@@nyfan75 I agree the second one wasn't all that, but the first movie will forever be cemented into my childhood. Also, the movies never live up to the books.
nyfan75 I personally really liked the first one but the second one wasn’t good (don’t even remember much of it lol).
@@icompletelyagreewithyou3293 After reading the books I was excited when they announced the movies but they strayed so far from the books it was horrible. Unfortunately my daughter loves the movies but refuses to read the books lol
@@davidstratton696 I try to forget them also lol
John Carter was awesome. They dropped the ball marketing it.
The reason Andrew Garfield didn't get a third movie is he stood up the Head of SONY Corp, who wanted to meet Spider-Man. You don't dis the man who signs the checks of the people who sign your checks and expect to remain employed.
I actually enjoyed this version of spider man
@Angus Ng I said I enjoyed it not that I loved it lol
Looper, great video!💯🙏👐
One not mentioned was Kick-Ass. Would've been nice to get the third comic series adapted and wrap things up.
Ron Pearlman was the face of Hellboy, they both goes great together. For Independance Day, Brent Spiner was the only one worth seeing in the movie, his character was way cool!
I adore Brent Spiner but his character was the most cliched thing in that movie! They had a great actor and did the most shite job!
It's videos like this...that makes me love CZcams. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. Great video!
...great segment. i always look forward to your videos. but i think you may have forgotten to mention Pacific Rim & G.I. Joe & maybe, Underworld....
I don't think they should make an Avatar sequel. The first one was enough.
A waste of money if you ask me. Dances with Wolves in Space.
yes
I kinda liked it ...
@@crisisdeltax shame on you
They can learn from Independence Day... sometimes a single movie is enough... but I guess they want to retake their crown back from Avengers : Endgame
I wish The Amazing Spiderman got a trilogy...
I remember going to the pictures watching Tron, me and my brother loved it, it was different. In fact he called one of his children Flynn!
I would have loved to see the ending of the Alien Prequels.
I would like to see how David killed and experimented Elizabeth Shaw
Alien awakening is still being made. This video is ridiculous.
would rather see those two movies burned out of existence.. talk about pure garbage
@@voltrono4166 ok kevin
Voltrono your name is amazing and those movies were ridiculous. The only way i would pay even $1 is if Michael Fassbender agreed to do the entire movie naked. But No doubt they would find a way to screw that up as well.
Don't blame Snider for justice league blame the company for interfering
Oh I will blame synder! Dawn of justice wasn’t good as it should’ve been
Have any of you noticed the difference between man of steel and darn of justice . Man of steel was Snider baby while darn of justice is when the studio starts interfering so the movie suffer plus justice league was supposed to be two movies who stop all that plans studio should let directors finished their vision of a movie then they can interface them put out both let us the viewing problem decides which is better
Don't ever put animation quality to live action there is a lot they can do with animation can't be done with live action
A top of that everyone who goes in to a Snider film expects to get over the top action with explosion with good set pieces you get any of those in bvs are justice league
I blame the company for putting someone with that little genre experience in charge in the first place. Look at Marvel for Phase 1 they put Joss Whedon someone who has a lot of experience with comic books and the super hero genre in charge. Then they put Kevin Feige someone who had been a producer for Marvel since 2000 in charge. Snyder would have been better off directing standalone movies for the DCEU rather than trying to direct the whole cinematic universe
I liked both Prometheus and Covenant. Too bad about Hellboy, they should've stayed with Ron Pearlman and Del Toro.
Excellent to have Edgar Ramirez on the preview of this article 👍
Ender's Game was such a promising start to a trilogy. Wish they had made sequels to that!
Interesting film but i was hating Harrison Ford pretty hard at that time. He should have done so much more nuance! Sure the character was a hard bitter military type who had to make you hate him to get the best from you but he lost a lot of humanity they could have really shown on screen that he had these deeper motivations.
I wish Dredd was a trilogy
Maybe if they had spent a little more on advertising, people would have gone to see it. I remember hearing that they were making the movie then... I see it on DVD. I never knew it came out in theaters and I'd imagine that plenty of other people didn't either.
John McMillen I remember it was marketed kinda generically and unnecessarily in 3d
as far as i know, there is a tv series planed with the same lead
Beserker Viking I’ve heard that rumor but nothing has sufficed
@@CHRISPYakaKON i know, but if you lik carl urban, you should check out the: The Boys
Where is Michael Keaton’s batman directed by Tim burton why did we not get a third
Keaton and Burton both wanted a darker more serious tone. And the studio wanted a kids film.
+pensfan 7187
Ironically, Joel Schumacher wanted Forever (even though it was not the originally planned Batman 3) to be potentially darker than what the final product ended up being.
John Carter is a guilty return to pleasure for me when I want to lose myself in a movie, great fun,also enjoyed the fab4 flicks, am looking forward to them finally being given the proper Marvel treatment though.
I read the John carter books, but since I live under a rock, I didn't know they made a movie. I'm going on Disney Plus right now and watch it.
You know prometheus and covenant definitely had flaws but i really liked them and was genuinely upset no 3rd...the only alien movie i didnt like was part 2 cause of the annoying insect NEWT
Newt's not an insect. She's an amphibian.
Pouring one out for Fincher's Dragon Tattoo trilogy.
Argh so true. Wish Fincher and co came back. Girl In The Spider's Web was a dud.
There's the original Swedish film trilogy.
Karl Pfeiffer the first movie was great, I haven’t seen the original Swedish movies
Upset that I didn't see a mention of the Kick-Ass or TMNT franchises. Really wanted those third movies.
Vampire chronicles.
Interview with the vampire etc
AMC just purchased those rights. It's all being turned into a show with Rice producing.
I love how everyone is complaining about how "that's not Snyder's JL". As if his previous work indicates that JL would've been good had he finished it.
Clash of the Titans 😀
Wrath of the Titans 🤢
Death of the Titans 🤔
Remember the Titans?
I really liked those movies
I wished we did get a third film. Heck, Death of the Titans (or Fall of the Titans) sounds like a great name for a third and final film.
Fernando Rosales I Agree
Attack Of The Titans or Attack On The Titans
The lack of a Hellboy 3 with Ron Pearlman and co. was an absolute crime!
So upset John Carter wasn’t continued... Personally, I loved the movie. To me it harks back to classic fantasy movies of the 80s... Anyone knows if the franchise will be revitalized?
I actually thought David Harbour did well as Hellboy, but a poor director and editing really hurt the film.
As for Tron Legacy, a seriously underated film. Fantastic imagery and a phenominal soundtrack.
I really liked the Chris Evans Fantastic Four. Loved both of them, tbh.
they were objectively bad but, glad you found some joy out of them!
I would love to see third Hellboy. I've never understood the way of producers thinking, why reboot the series which isn't finished...
Good! Most of these movies, I was shocked they even got a 2nd one!
Disney did NOT start the Marvel Cin. Universe two years before Tron: Legacy. Disney didn't even own Marvel yet. They were an indie studio. A little research goes a LONG way...and keeps you from looking like a fool.
And a little filter keeps YOU from sounding pretentious.
@@carlosrendon3751 facts > feelings. Get a thicker skin if it bothers you
What about the trilogy of American Civil war, 'Gods and Generals', 'Gettysburg' and ' The Last Full Measure' (the one that was never and I guess will never be made??) All by Ron Maxwell ??? Great books and the first two movies were great but now, no plans to EVER do and release the 'Last Full Measure' ?? WHY ???
God Bless
Tron was sick! I really want a second movie on that
John carter was amazing. They built a movie while being able to build on the books. They combined it very well.
Brandon Lee's the crow
I got my name from the John Carter book series. John Carter’s love interest.
I loved Tron but i thought it was a stand-alone film this whole time
I'm gonna watch "John Carter" again. The 3D is really good.
That Hellboy reboot was horrible. Just horrible.
Shame about Tron Legacy not getting a sequel though imo.
It was a few decades for trim to get a sequel so anything is possible
I really wish Hellboy 3 got made!
I loved John carter... That movie was amazing... I dont know what happened movie goers on that time...
I actually liked John Carter and would love to see the other 2 in the series maybe on Disney plus would work
It wasn't zack's version of the justice league we got it was Josh's versions
It was a combination of Joss’s vision and Zack’s vision. You can’t really say it was entirely either one’s since Joss stepped in after the script and shooting were mostly finished. And while sure he made a lot of changes had he been completely in charge from the beginning the story and movie would have been different to what was released
@@TheJjcczz Still Joss' version in the end with all the reshoots and changes he made
Ashwel Mudadi You can’t say it’s his version when he wasn’t given control. He was brought in after the fact and given a list of specific changes that the producers wanted made, they wouldn’t even allow him to keep the personal changes he made. They literally took his opening and changed it after the fact. To say it Joss’s version is just inaccurate. If anything it should be called the studio’s version because at least that’s accurate
That doens't mean his version would've end up being better then the final cut. So let it go. The issue here is that WB rushed this team up movie.
TheJjcczz I agree with you, the studio screwed up
