Despite the cancellation of “Batgirl”, DC wants to keep Leslie Grace

Despite “Batgirl” being canceled, its lead character Leslie Grace seems to be out of DC’s plans and may continue to live the heroine.

Grace was about to debut in the DC Extended Universe as Barbara Gordon, the Batgirl, but the heroine solo film, which would be released directly on HBO Max, was shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery, essentially canceled despite production costs already hovering. around 90 million dollars.

Despite the cancellation, Warner Bros. Discovery said in a statement that the decision reflected a strategic shift in the company’s leadership in relation to the DC and HBO Max universe.

As for the actress, the statement stated that “Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actress and this decision does not reflect her performance”, as well as thanking the directors involved in the production and affirming, in relation to them and the cast, that Warner Bros. Discovery “will collaborate with everyone again in the near future.”

Now, information from Variety indicates that this collaboration may be on the way for Leslie Grace. According to the magazine, Warner Bros. Pictures boss Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy intend to try to mend the studio’s relationship with the actress and bring Grace back to the DC Universe as Batgirl in a different project, or even see her starring in another Warner Bros.

“Batgirl” was directed by Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi, and written by Christina Hodson, and would feature Leslie Grace’s debut as Barbara Gordon, the Batgirl, as well as the return of JK Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon, and even a Michael Keaton cameo as Bruce Wayne, the Batman. Brendan Fraser will play the villain Firefly and the cast will also include Ivory Aquino, Jacob Scipione, Rebecca Front, Corey Johnson and Ethan Kai.

After the film’s cancellation, Leslie Grace released a statement on her social media, but she didn’t express her feelings for what happened and her words only turned to thanks. The directors expressed shock and sadness at the Warner Bros. Discovery decision.
