Guillermo del Toro Shares New Justice League Dark Details, From Constantine Lead to Batman Cameo

The director used a podcast interview to outline his shelved vision for DC's supernatural team.

Overview

  • Del Toro said John Constantine would lead a roster including Swamp Thing, Deadman, Etrigan, Zatanna and Klarion, with the Floronic Man among the villains.
  • He named frequent collaborator Doug Jones as his intended Deadman due to Jones’s physical performance in a practical suit.
  • The script included a brief appearance that moves the story into Bruce Wayne’s office when the team needs a plane.
  • A set piece he described followed Deadman body-hopping through an extended chase that begins with an elderly woman in Central Park.
  • Del Toro said the screenplay exists after years of development, the project never reached art or production, and he has not discussed reviving it with James Gunn.
