Overview
- Refn, speaking to Deadline at Cannes on Monday, said he would love to direct a Batgirl movie.
- He said the appeal is visual, pointing to costumes and his long-time fascination with toys and objects.
- Refn added that he is unsure about taking on established intellectual property and may stick to original work.
- No Batgirl film is on DC Studios' slate, and Barbara Gordon’s role in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s reboot remains unclear.
- Warner Bros. Discovery shelved a nearly finished Batgirl in 2022 that starred Leslie Grace with J.K. Simmons, Brendan Fraser, and Michael Keaton, a move widely reported as a tax write-off.
