The demise of the Mistborn movie allows Brandon Sanderson to re-evaluate which of his Cosmere books would be best suited for adaptation.
Epic fantasy author Brandon Sanderson is known for his prolific output and transparency about his numerous projects, including the popular Mistborn novels. In his 2024 'State of the Sanderson' blog post, he summarized his progress and made several announcements. While mostly positive, there was the unfortunate news that the Mistborn movie is officially canceled. This likely ends any hopes of Millie Bobby Brown playing the heroine Vin.
With Mistborn no longer moving forward, there are no active projects to adapt any part of Sanderson's Cosmere multiverse for the screen. However, with the Cosmere's foundation shaken by the explosive ending of the latest Stormlight Archive novel, this could be an opportunity. Sanderson can now reevaluate which Cosmere books would best adapt as movies, and with Stormlight finished for now, he's well positioned to make that choice. For several years, Sanderson's main focus for any adaptation was the Mistborn films, first optioned in 2010. Numerous changes in option-holders and studios later, the script treatment is dead in the water. But there's an opportunity here. There's a consensus that Mistborn is the perfect entry point into the Cosmere for new readers
