The early-stage move signals a possible villain-led addition to James Gunn and Peter Safran’s slate.

Overview

  • Deadline reports that Greg Mottola is the leading candidate to direct a Deathstroke and Bane feature, with other names still in consideration.
  • The project is in very early development with no script submitted and no contracts signed.
  • DC Studios did not provide comment on the report, which is based on unnamed sources.
