Justice League Dark Now Being Scripted By Doctor Strange Writer [UPDATED]

Warner Bros. is reportedly starting afresh onJustice League DarkandDoctor Strangewriter Jon Spaihts is reportedly leave the accusation . Warner Bros. Pictures has set several DC Extended Universe flick release appointment now , but their plans for the dealership as a whole are seemingly rather fluid mighty now . Most lately , the studio was reported to be considering an Elseworlds - mode brand for non - DCEU flick , too . One project that will remain part of the DCEU until further notice isJustice League Dark , a personal and little storythat stick in some rather unique case from DC ’s lore .

Justice League Darkhas yet to get off the ground , however , despite both Guillermo Del Toro and Doug Liman having been involved in its maturation before stepping down ( for scheduling ground , in both cases , it seems ) . Meetings with other directors has not run as contrive , apparently , and now theJustice League Darkscript is being reworked- with Spaihts obviously the author responsible for shaping the latest looping of the project .

That Hashtag Showis report that Spaihts has been tap to indite the fresh script draught ofJustice League Dark . The changes that he will make are nameless , but he has routinely shew an power to ground out of this world conception . Outside of his late venture into the superhero genre withDoctor Strange , he also served as a writer on the sci - fi filmPassengersand save theAlien : Engineersscript that was finally re - conceive of intoPrometheus .

Spaihts ' experience in writing blockbuster film should serveJustice League Darkwell . It will not be sluttish bringing Swamp Thing , John Constantine , Etrigan the Demon , Zatanna , and Deadman to biography on the big screen , but there is grounds to conceive that Spaihts can help make it happen . If he can , then future meetings WB has with directors should go much smoother than the last round did . IT ’s Andres Muschiettiand filmmakerDamián Szifronwere reportedly turn over to conduct , but it appear that neither one at last closed a deal for the film .

Some of the difficulties withJustice League Darkcould be the event of the DCEU and its unfixed future . With a Modern DC movie standard perchance launching and kick off with aJoker rootage storyin the year ahead , it remains all the less clear what the futurity holds forJustice League Dark . Fingers crossed , we will have a more classic update on the matter sometime before this yr sop up to a finish in four months .

UPDATE : It ’s been reported that the draft is a few month previous and that Spaihts has already moved on to other labor .
