10 Movies That Just Got Cancelled
3. Unspecified DC Universe Film
James Gunn is currently in the midst of building up his DC Universe, which formally kicked off with his well-received reimagining of Superman this past summer.
Gunn, who is incredibly online and regularly talks to fans and journalists alike about the state of ongoing projects, revealed to NPR back in July that one planned DCU movie was actually recently scrapped.
He hasn't named the film in question, but Gunn said that it was written and fully greenlit with a talented director in place, only to cancel the project because he knew the script wasn't in a good place. Gunn added that he "killed" the film because he knew it would make everyone involved look bad, and this naturally left fans speculating on precisely which project it could be.
Given that Andy Muschietti's The Brave and the Bold, and James Mangold's Swamp Thing are still said to be in development, it's far more likely to be something like The Authority, which Gunn had already admitted was struggling to come together many months before this interview.
Either way, one of the previously slated DCU movies flat-out isn't happening, straight from the horse's mouth.
