J.K. Rowling, George Lucas And 4 Other Creators Who Retconned Movies After They Were Released
Warning: spoilers for several properties, like the Fantastic Beasts and Avengers franchises, are in play.
Telling a basic story requires three things: a beginning, a middle, and an end. Sounds pretty simple, but its the characters we meet, the relationships they form, and the events they live through or partake in that really put the meat in the sandwich we call a story. And much like a sandwich artist, it takes the right amount of skill to know when youve finished your masterpiece, or when it needs a little more work.
However, there have been times when story creators made pretty big reversals to stuff theyd established earlier in their respective canons. Weve seen it a lot with J.K. Rowling lately, as shes expanded the lore of her Wizarding World on whims as of late. Shes not the first, and nor will she be the last person to revisit their own worlds of fiction, with a red pen and some big ideas in mind, as youll see in the following list of hugest shifts made to pre-existing material, and the folks behind them.
Let's start with the writer who got this list off the ground...
J.K. RowlingWe didn't know a ton about Professor Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series of novels and films, but we did know he had two siblings, a friend named Gellert Grindelwald, and a life full of adventures from his younger years. Slowly but surely, J.K. Rowling has started filling in more of that story, with some rather interesting and contradictory results.
Not only was Dumbledore outed as being gay once the series of books had been completed, with nary a hint or trace of any sort of romance for the venerable Hogwarts headmaster existing in those books, but it was then decided that Grindelwald was the intense object of his affection. That intensity is another change that Rowling has made in the wake of the latest film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. Though it should be noted that film had its fair share of surprises, as it decided to throw another Dumbledore sibling into the works, and we'll see how that storyline plays out in Fantastic Beasts 3.
The Russo BrothersAlongside writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Joe and Anthony Russo have had the run of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and plotted its fate up to their final film in the universe, Avengers: Endgame. But the details that came out after the film had dropped, as well as within the film itself, have made some of the most recent history of the series feel a little weird. Most importantly is the whole plot twist that now instead of Captain America and Sharon Carter being a cute one-off romance that now seems like a creepy moment between uncle and niece.
Not to mention, that Hulks damage to his arm is permanent, despite no further mention of it being made throughout the rest of Avengers: Endgame whatsoever. (I guess we're just supposed to compare' Hulk's damage to Thanos'?) Most revealing of all these off screen changes was the fact that in between the release of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, major characters like Shuri and Aunt May were dusted off screen.
There was always bound to be some random, off camera folks who were sent away in Thanos Decimation, but with characters so notable suffering that very fate, it was a bit of a shock to find out that those we thought were safe turned out to be dusted through interviews and trailers released after the fact.
Sylvester StalloneLooking to end the Rocky series on a high note, creator/star Sylvester Stallone cooked up the scenario to end all scenarios with Rocky V. Taking one last fight, the underdog-turned-champion Rocky Balboa would risk his whole life on this final bout, as he was diagnosed with permanent brain damage and advised never to fight again.
And yet, despite making that decision to take Rocky out of the ring, it would only take 16 years for it to be undone in the name of progress. With 2006s Rocky Balboa, Stallone basically said that with the medical advancements that had taken place between the films, Rocky was eventually cleared to box again and it wasnt that serious in the first place.
Though if were being honest, Sylvester Stallones own version of the perfect Rocky franchise continuity sees only Rocky and Rocky Balboa still standing, as he believed the films to be perfect bookends to one another. So thats another thing to keep in mind when untangling the twisty nature of the Rocky franchise.
Sam RaimiWith his interpretation of the Spider-Man mythos, and David Koepps pen helping do the lifting on the story end, director Sam Raimis 2002 debut of Peter Parkers big screen adventures set the tone for his career as a crimefighter. And it included one of the saddest moments of his entire life: the death of his uncle Ben.
In the version of events we saw in Spider-Man, a random thug holds up a wrestling promoter that Peter found himself cheated by. But as Peter didnt stop this thug from getting away, they eventually tried to steal Uncle Bens car, killing him in the process. However Sam Raimi, along with co-writers Ivan Raimi and Alvin Sargent, changed one of the most crucial moments in Peter Parkers genesis as a superhero, when it came time to write the story for Spider-Man 3.
Now, instead of a random thug, the man who killed Uncle Ben was Flint Marko, better known as the villainous Sandman. Only, Sandman wasnt too much of a villain, as he was only stealing to support his sick daughter, and Uncle Bens death was a total accident. While it doesnt alter Peters character all that much, its still one of those things that consciously undoes the pre-existing lore so much, you can see how much disarray the franchise was already in with its third of a proposed seven entry series.
Chris MorganWhile the Fast and Furious series has never been known for its economy of story, there is one event that was so pivotal to a fan-favorite character that it had to be shuffled down the timeline into later films. Killing Han Lue may have felt like the right story beat for Chris Morgans script to The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift to undertake, but in order for actor Sung Kangs character to have more adventures with the Torretto crime family, a lot of explaining would need to be done.
In particular, that films slot as the third film in the chronological release order is betrayed by the fact the films events were eventually rewritten by Chris Morgan to take place between Fast and Furious 6 and Furious 7. Even more baffling is how instead of the Yakuza (or a rival racer) killing Han, Jason Stathams Deckard Shaw was the person behind that heinous murder.
Were Deckard to have stayed a villain in the Fast and Furious series, this might not have been a problem. With this character being turned into such a hero his whole entire family has been spun off into a new franchise, there are some who are less than forgiving for Chris Morgans big switcharoo; which may explain one reason hes no longer the main writer on the series next installment, Fast 9.
George LucasIt really feels like theres a precedent with retconning characters named Han. Though out of these two instances, its no question that George Lucas massive change to the Star Wars universe is the one with the greater impact.
While the original trilogys theatrical version saw Han Solo shoot rival Greedo before he had the chance to get the drop on him, the special editions of the films 20th anniversary played out rather differently. This time around, the pivotal moment that proved Han to be a badass without remorse saw his murder of Greedo as a result of the luck of the draw, as they both shot simultaneously.
There were plenty more changes that Lucas would implement through not only the special editions of 1997, but also the prequel trilogy he would eventually embark on as a result. Yet out of everything that would change as a result of George Lucas revisiting the Star Wars galaxy, Han Solos status as a rogue being reduced to a lucky bastard is one the fans still have a problem accepting to this very day.
They may not be pretty, but these examples of creators retconning their creations into something different than initially intended are prime reminders that any fictional canon can be meddled with at any time. Nothing is ever final, until those who have the power to say so let them be. Remember that the next time you see an ending, whether you agree with it or not, and take comfort that fans and creators both can interpret events in their own special way, with neither owing any fealty to the other.
What others are saying Although the Fantastic Beasts movies take place more than half a century before the Harry Potter film series, thanks to wizards and witches having a longer life expectancy than Muggles/No-Majs/whatever you want to call them, some of the older Harry Potter characters can be showcased in their spryer years.

The film firmly placed star Taron Egerton on the map as a talent to watch and proved that Colin Firth could not only do action, but do it pretty damn well. However, last year, when " Kingsman: The Golden Circle " was released, reviews weren't nearly as good and the box office suffered.
