DC fans and the industry alike were shocked this week when Warner Bros.

“My friends, just had to reach out and let you know we’re all thinking of you. For the wonderful wedding news (congrats!) and the disappointing ‘Batgirl’ news,” Feige wrote.
“So proud of you and all the amazing work you do and particularly ‘Ms. Marvel,’ of course! I can’t wait to see what’s next for you guys. Hope to see you soon.”
Arbi also revealed through another of his stories that James Gunnthe director of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ trilogy (which will finally release ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’ next year), and Edgar Wrightthe one for ‘Last Night in Soho’ (here are the keys to ‘Last Night in Soho’ offered by Edgar Wright), they also sent them positive messages of support.
“Your kind words and experience mean a lot and help us get through this difficult period,” he added.
