They’re definitely going to make everything they’ve announced. When have they announced something that wasn’t made?
Oh, I'm just generally speaking. Marvel, DC, ... those universes continue to announce stuff and then never make it. But hey, Disney can do all the Star Wars stuff they want: I'll happily consume it. ;-)
The Game of Thrones showrunners are waving their hands.
Probably Rian Johnson too, ever since KNIVES OUT was a hit and is becoming a film series.
For me I still struggle to think of anything that was announced by any of these parties that wasn't released. I thought of Affleck's Batman film, but that's coming out as Pattinson's The Batman. To be fair though I don't know a ton about it.
What of Game of Thrones didn't get made? Did the Knives Out sequel get cancelled?
The show runners of GoT were supposed to helm a trilogy of Star Wars films but that got scrapped. Rian Johnson was going to do a trilogy as well, but it looks like he may be focusing on a KNIVES OUT sequel instead.
Fair enough! I don’t think Johnson’s trilogy was ever “announced” though, think they were just rumours. And I don’t remember hearing an announcement about the GOT show runners doing a trilogy but I could have missed it.
Lots of things that are rumoured never end up happening, but the original question was what projects that were announced didn’t end up happening.
They were officially announced:

Nice, fair enough! Didn’t know they had been.
Some readers may be wondering what all the hubbub is with Boba Fett. That guy died, right? Yes, if you don't know anything about Star Wars Legends, the now non-canon series of books chronicling the adventures of Luke, Han, and Leia post-Original Trilogy. In one of these books, Boba Fett crawls out of the sarlacc pit that swallowed him whole in Return of the Jedi, and then went on to have more adventures and once again butt heads with Han Solo.

This is why they do it:
Yeah, we’ve seen Din come out from inside a Krayt Dragon so this shouldn’t be too different.
Arf! Because most companies are democracies :D
I think it’s safe to say she’s had a pretty solid run with LucasFilm.
Which is too bad because Solo was actually great IMO. Suffered from residual bad will from TLJ.
I am also enjoying it quite a bit, I must say.
Yes I thought it was a lot of fun too.
I concur!
That’s why all those fanboys annoy me. I’m not a fan of the Disney Star Wars films outside of Rogue One, but the woman has clearly brought in billions for Disney with those films. I can’t tell you how many clickbait YouTube videos I’ve seen from people saying “Kathleen Kennedy’s days are over.”
I never bought that, especially considering that TROS didn’t bomb. What hurt SOLO I think was that it just didn’t have a strong enough hook for audiences, as well as having a very weak marketing campaign. Disney didn’t even start promoting it until February, just a few short months before release date. Keeping its May 2018 date instead of pushing it to a December date like the other films also hurt it.
Same thing with Alex Kurtzman and Star Trek. The guy relaunched the franchise for TV, but certain YouTube channels would tell you he was fired several times over the years and that each of the shows would be cancelled after one season. I honestly think those sites only exist because they know fanboys eat up confirmation bias, telling them what they want to hear even if it’s lies.
Fair enough, but ROS had lots of time after TLJ. I agree they didn’t market Solo well. My point was it was not as bad a movie as the box office would indicate.
Those channels just thrive on clickbait and negativity. They know that they have absolutely no other ways of bringing in views so they take these rumors from B.S. websites, then run with them as if they’re official stories. I’m also curious as to if they actually have “sources” in these companies. If they do, then they’re being fed wrong information. I don’t know how they still have traction and people who listen to them. It’s one thing to criticize something for not liking it, it’s another to make 5,000 videos talking about how much you don’t like Kathleen Kennedy, it’s so disgusting when they even brag about the views they get from said videos. They’ve already started to target No Time To Die as well because of all the Lashana Lynch 007 stuff, even though none of them obviously know anything of the Bond series. Those people are just gross and despicable.
Midnight’s Edge posted some BS about NTTD being delayed because of poor test screenings and MGM wanting massive reshoots to erase SJW propaganda.
