Tom Hardy's Splinter Cell Movie Canceled After Years in Limbo

The long-awaited adaptation of the beloved video game series was shelved due to script and budget issues.

The Splinter Cell movie, announced in 2012 with Tom Hardy set to star as Sam Fisher, has been officially canceled.
Producer Basil Iwanyk confirmed the cancellation, citing persistent script and budget challenges as the main reasons.
Despite multiple versions of the script, the project failed to progress beyond the planning stages over the past decade.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to the Netflix animated series 'Splinter Cell: Deathwatch,' set to release in 2025.
Ubisoft is also working on a remake of the original Splinter Cell game, though its development status remains uncertain.
