Final month, the DC Studios co-CEO revealed that he’d “killed” a challenge that had already been greenlit as a result of “the screenplay wasn’t prepared,” though which challenge which may have been stays beneath wraps.
“We had a film that was greenlit. We received [the] second draft and [the] third draft, and it simply wasn’t altering. It wasn’t getting higher,” Gunn mentioned in a brand new interview with NPR. “It was staying in the identical place. And I mentioned, we will not make this movie. We will not. It is not good. We all know it is not good.
“Simply because now we have a very good director hooked up and a very good screenwriter, it doesn’t suggest the script is working. Everybody goes to be upset on the finish of this. It will come out, the film’s not going to be good. Director’s going to look dangerous, screenwriter’s going to look dangerous and we will look dangerous. So I do not wish to have this. We’re not going to make the film. And so we killed it.”
