Scooby-Doo 3 was a proposed sequel in the live-action Scooby-Doo film series distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, following Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed in 2002 and 2004, respectively. It didn't get made

Production

Development

In October 2002, a few months after the first film had been released, as Warner Bros. were fast tracking Scooby-Doo 2, they were planning ahead of a third Scooby-Doo film, securing Dan Forman and Paul Foley as the new writers, replacing the first two films' writers, James Gunn, after they impressed the studio of their rewrite of a potential live-action adaptation of The Jetsons.[1] When Scooby-Doo 2 was released, its box office earnings wasn't as big as Warner Bros. expected, making less than the first film, leaving doubt that Warner Bros. would move forward with another sequel.[2]

In 2020, James Gunn revealed that he had been hired again to write, and be his dectorial debut. The film would've been about the gang visiting Ireland, where they find a community of real monsters as the victims, forcing Shaggy and Scooby to change their views. In retrospect, Gunn was glad this didn't end up being his first film to direct, which ended up being Slither.

Aftermath

Eventually, Warner Bros. had launched Warner Premiere, who teamed up with Cartoon Network to produce an entirely new third movie which was to act as a prequel called Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins, which acts as an origin story, but is hardly a prequel as it is set in modern day 2009.
