Once upon a time, you\u2019ll keep in mind that filmmaker J.J. Abrams\u2019<\/strong> Bad Robot<\/strong> productions signed a large take care of Warner Media,<\/strong> reportedly value over $500 million<\/a> (although later stories mentioned nearer to $200 million) to create content material for Warner Media, HBO, <\/strong>and HBO Max.<\/strong> This was the autumn of 2019. By April 2020, after the pandemic hit and studios started their panic to create content material, it was revealed that Abrams\u2019 Bad Robot shingle could be making a collection primarily based on \u201cJustice League Dark<\/a><\/strong>,\u201d a extra supernatural facet of the common Justice League that Guillermo del Toro<\/strong> and Doug Liman<\/strong> tried to make into films over time.<\/p>\n READ MORE: \u2018Constantine\u2019 Sequel Is Actually Happening This Time With Keanu Reeves & Francis Lawrence Returning<\/a><\/p>\n Bad Robot finally was purported to make dozens of various items of DC content material, however lower to 2023 and stories that David Zaslav<\/strong> had grown indignant and impatient with Abrams\u2019 firm\u2019s sluggish improvement (which included nixing some costly non-DC Bad Robot tasks that have been within the works just like the sci-fi drama \u201cDemimonde<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>). Now we\u2019re studying, not unsurprisingly, that Bad Robots\u2019 \u201cJustice League Dark\u201d is certainly lifeless.<\/p>\n Buried inside one other THR<\/a> report a few new Bar Robot present that has been greenlit\u2014the collection \u201cDuster<\/strong>\u201d starring Rachel Hilson<\/strong> and Josh Holloway<\/strong>, which Abrams created with LaToya Morgan<\/strong>\u2014is a throwaway line that \u201cJustice League Dark\u201d has been scrapped. Studios love constructive<\/em> bulletins and are sometimes happy with quietly mentioning damaging information like this tidbit on this very offhand trend.<\/p>\n Again, none of that is a lot of a shock. So far, every thing that Bad Robot was growing that was DC-related\u2014\u201cConstantine<\/strong>\u201d (a member of Justice League Dark), \u201cZatanna<\/strong>,\u201d and \u201cMadame X<\/strong>\u201d\u2014 have been scrapped by Zaslav<\/a> and HBO Max even earlier than James Gunn <\/strong>and Peter Safran<\/strong> took over because the co-heads of DC Studios.<\/p>\n With Gunn and Safran charting a brand new path ahead, almost every thing in improvement earlier than their time has been binned in favor of their authentic concepts.<\/p>\n Justice League Dark membership has modified over time. Still, it typically options supernatural heroes\u2014 John Constantine, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Shade, the Changing Man, and Zatanna\u2014going through off towards otherworldly foes. So far, Gunn and Safran\u2019s plans solely embody Swamp Thing<\/a>, who was positively an adjoining character to the supernatural figures of the JLD.<\/p>\n More importantly, yesterday, it was introduced that Akiva Goldsman was going ahead with a \u201cConstantine\u201d sequel with Keanu Reeves<\/a><\/strong>, albeit an Elseworlds one that might be unconnected from Gunn and Safran\u2019s DC Universe. Perhaps that\u2019s much more purpose to scrap this \u201cJustice League Dark\u201d\/Bad Robot collection that was developed exterior of Gunn and Safran\u2019s formidable plans.<\/p>\n So far, the final males standing from Bad Robots DC improvement\u2014and ones we’ll assume are finally introduced as nixed too are a Val-Zod Black Superman offshoot that Michael B. Jordan<\/strong> was concerned with<\/a> and author Ta-Nehisi Coates\u2019 Black Superman movie, which Abrams employed him to put in writing in 2021.<\/p>\n Coates undertaking was listed as nonetheless alive and nonetheless in improvement when Gunn and Safran\u2019s new plan was unveiled final month, however at this fee, given all of the ready, improvement, and no concrete outcomes, we\u2019ll imagine it after we see it.<\/p>\n
