Insider Reveals Link Between the DCU and Upcoming Bane & Deathstroke Movie

When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, they revealed a large list of upcoming projects across animation, live-action, TV shows, and movies.

In addition to the projects already in development, new ones like Dynamic Duo and Teen Titans have been announced, while some, like the rumored Clayface movie, are still speculative.

Recently, industry insider Daniel Richtman shared a new set of leaks on his private Patreon, mostly focused on lesser-known projects within the DCU.

Let’s start with the Bane & Deathstroke movie. A few weeks ago, it was announced that DC Studios is working on a live-action film featuring these two iconic villains. The script is written by Matthew Orton, but no director has been confirmed yet.

Details about the movie are scarce, and it’s still unclear whether it will be part of the main DCU or set in another cinematic universe, like the Batman Epic Crime Saga.

However, insider Daniel Richtman reports that the movie will indeed be set within the DCU, opening up some exciting possibilities.

It’s unclear if the new Deathstroke movie is related to Joe Manganiello’s version. Manganiello wrote his own Deathstroke screenplay, which Warner Bros. showed interest in before deciding to reboot the DC Universe. After nearly a decade, Manganiello shared that James Gunn encouraged him to move on from the project.

Before that, DC briefly considered revisiting older cinematic universes, possibly exploring them later. Manganiello explained that Jim Lee from DC Comics wanted him to turn his screenplay into a graphic novel, but there was no guarantee he could still be involved if it gained attention.

In the end, James Gunn told him to let it go.

The final update is about Gorilla Grodd. According to Richtman, this famous Flash villain will have a significant role in the DCU moving forward.
