RUMOR: The Team Members For Guillermo Del Toro's JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK Movie Revealed
Last we heard, the script for Guillermo del Toro's Dark Universe was complete and, depending on Warner Bros.' reaction, the movie would be getting the greenlight to begin production. Now we have word on which mystical DC characters might be making up the team...
We've been hearing about Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro's Justice League Dark passion project for a long time now, but because the film-maker always seems to have so much on the go/in the works at once, a lot of fans began to get the feeling it could just be wishful thinking and would never actually see the light of day. When word hit that NBC had a Constantine series in the works, and then Dark Universe wasn't a part of WB/DC's movie slate announcement, many figured that must have been the final nail in the film's coffin. But, that wasn't the case. Recently the director revealed that the completed screenplay went to weekend reads at Warner Bros., and pending a positive reaction, steps would then be taken to get Dark Universe into production. Now while we don't have an update in regards to that, we might know what characters will make up the initial team if and when the flick finally makes it to the big screen.
Constantine and Dead Man have been mentioned by Del Toro several times in the past and were all but guaranteed to be on the roster, while fan-favourite Zatanna was also expected. Jason Blood (aka Etrigan the Demon) is probably the closest thing to a surprise on the list, but perhaps most shocking are the characters that are absent. There were high hopes that the likes of Swamp Thing and Spectre would make the cut, and at the very least I think we all expected more than 4 characters. Of course that's just the starting lineup, and more may join the ranks as the story progresses. Anyway, as Mayimbe himself says, this is just a rumor until it's official -- but if this was to be our Justice League Dark, what would you think?
