Angelina Jolie departure kills 'Wanted 2'?

Angelina Jolie is reportedly out of "Wanted 2," and it seems Universal is therefore killing the project for good. Vulture reports Jolie dropped out to star in another film, leaving the "Wanted" sequel without its popular star. I guess that's it for the thriller with a hot killer.
Anyway, Timur Bekmambetov was planning on directing "Wanted 2," and he spent some time coming up with a way to bring Jolie's character back to action. Rather than look for a different actress and potentially lose money, Universal decided to pull the plug on the flick.
Vulture says Jolie will now be starring in "Gravity," a space thriller directed by Alfonso Cuarón. In that film, she plays the human survivor of a space mission, trying to return to Earth. I wouldn't mind watching her and only her for most of a feature film. How about you?
