Ever since James Gunn announced Batman: The Brave and the Bold, people were ecstatic about the exciting potential of the project. Many started speculating as to who the new Batman was going to be after Ben Affleck departed from the DCU.
As of now, nothing about the project has been revealed. Last year, reports started circulating that John Logan was in talks to pen the screenplay for the film. Now, Gunn himself has dismissed any connection between the writer and the film.
James Gunn Dismisses Speculation About John Logan and His New Batman Film
Among the slew of projects announced by James Gunn last year, Batman: The Brave and the Bold created an instant excitement among fans. The idea of Batman and his son Damian Wayne appearing together along with Robin automatically led fans to have high hopes for the project. As of now, no official news about the film or details have been revealed by Gunn.
Last year, a post on X user r/DCULeaks claimed that 3-time Oscar-nominated writer John Logan, who wrote acclaimed films such as Gladiator, The Aviator, Skyfall and made his directorial debut with 2022’s They/ Them, was in talks to write the film. However, Gunn has now put an end to all the speculation caused by the report.
In a question about the alleged report, Gunn has dismissed any kind of connection between Logan and the film on Threads. The director has confirmed that Logan was never in talks or attached to the project in any way. Fans should wait for an official confirmation and any kind of updates from Gunn himself instead of trusting such unverified sources.
James Gunn Would Love to Have Margot Robbie In The New DCU
Margot Robbie played Harley Quinn in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. With Lady Gaga now taking over the character in Todd Phillips’ Joker 2, fans have wondered whether they will ever see Robbie’s version of Harley in Gunn’s new DCU.
When a fan posed this question on Threads, Gunn had an optimistic reply, expressing his love for Robbie and the character. While he revealed that he has no plans for the character as of now, he would love to have the actress return as Harley or a brand new character in the future. He said,
“I haven’t talked to Margot about Harley for a long time. But I’d love to work with her again as Harley or as someone else. There are no plans at this time for anyone else to play Harley (I mean, other than in Todd’s movie or the animated show/s.)”
Robbie seems to have made peace with the character as she recently told Variety that the character is supposed to find new incarnations after a certain period. The actress has also found greater success in other ventures like Barbie, so maybe it’s the end for her as Harley Quinn.
