Everyone has been waiting to see The Hobbit. It has been a lot of peoples favorite books and is of course a classic. Deadman is a great cult comic character that if you know him you love him. Well, it looks like Del Toro might think otherwise.
Earlier today, he dropped by TheOneRing.net and left this cryptic message:
"In a few days there will be a BIG announcement (big for me, at least) that is not-Hobbit related. BEFORE anyone starts wondering the usual "how does he have time?, Is this detracting form The Hobbit?" etc It is a project that started over 2 years ago, before The Hobbit and will render fruits in the mid-term, not intruding on my Hobbit duties. Rest assured. The key letter is 'D.'"
So the project starts with the letter "D". What project does Del Toro have that starts with a letter "D"? Del Toro has reportedly been working on Deadman for years, so it is very possible that he could be referring to Deadman.
Deadman is about the DC Comic's ghost, that goes by the same name, that was a circus acrobat murdered in his circus and pursues the man that killed him. He uses his power, given to him by a Hindu goddess, to be able to take over peoples bodies as an aid in his search and helps many other people on the way.
Another comic that he might be doing is Dr. Strange. A character that Del Toro was also in talks to bring to the big screen, but never fell through. So what do you think? What does the "D" mean? Do you want to see Deadman or Hobbit for? Dr. Strange or Deadman? Discuss it all and more below.
