15 Movie Franchises That Died Because Studios Went “Woke”

Elizabeth Banks’ 2019 attempt to revive the franchise focused on strong female leads and a message of empowerment. However, the film’s marketing and themes were seen as overly assertive, and audiences didn’t connect with it. They felt it lacked the appeal of the original series and early 2000s movies. As a result, the film lost money and any plans for sequels were cancelled.
