Gareth Evans, director of The Raid movies (note: not Gareth Edwards, who directed Godzilla and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Rogue One) may soon helm a Deathstroke solo film set in the DCEU (what DC calls its film universe). reports that Evans is in talk༺s with Warner Bros. about writing and directing a movie focusing on the popular🔜 villain / anti-hero.

"But wait," you say, "Wasn't Deathstroke supposed to be the villain in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman, DC's standalone Bat-fleck movie?" After all, when spoke to Affleck about the villain, the star said, "He’s a great villain because... I just had an instinctive feeling that he would match up with 🧔[Batman] well. You know, I’m a big admirer of that character as well, especially in the New 52 the way that they did Deathstroke, anꦐd I thought that it could work."

🎶And what about t🎃hat tweet showing Deathstroke walking ominously toward the camera?

Well, all of that was the case, back when Ben Affleck was sitting in the director's chair. Now he's been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:replaced by Matt Reeves, who tossed the Deathstroke-centered script, and we really have no idea what the plot of that film will be (if indeed it 🎃ever comes to fruition). Deathstroke may show up, but I wouldn't count on it. Regardless of what happens wiꦜth The Batman though, actor Joe Manganiello will retain the role in Evans' spin-off movie.

Evans, who had previously been courted by WB to direct Justice League Dark and turned that film down, reportedly impressed studio execs with a Deathstroke pitch. He also received high praise for the action scenes in The Raid, which a Deathstroke movie would certainly need a lot of. Put those two things together and voila! - another movie added to the slate. And if you're still not sold on Evans' skill, keep an eye out for his upcoming films, Apos🍨tle and Blister.
