The Leslie Grace-starring production was scheduled to debut directly on the HBO Max streaming platform, but Warner Bros. Discovery chose to shelve production at the end of August 2022. The decision was made despite the fact that the film had already been fully shot and was in post-production, causing the studio to lose more than $90 million.
Early on, news of the cancellation came alongside rumors that the film’s quality would motivate the film’s cancellation bad girl, after test audiences were unsatisfactory. However, it was later claimed that the decision was not motivated by the quality of the film or the commitment of the directors involved in the production, but rather a desire for the DC films released by the studio to be on the level of blockbusters.
Therefore, the reasons for the cancellation would be the conflict caused by the possibility of releasing a smaller film, with an initial budget of $75 million, which was raised to $90 million with pandemic costs, within the DC Extended Universe. For the sake of comparison, aquamanReleased in 2018, it had a budget of around $200 million, while its sequel is rumored to have a budget of over $300 million.
Later, the directors of the film and Leslie Grace herself spoke about the cancellation, reporting sadness for the event. There are reports that the film’s cast and crew were able to view the unfinished film in so-called “funeral sessions,” shown before the footage was locked away in Warner Bros. vaults. Discovery.
Since then, DC has seen some big changes, with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over as co-CEOs of the new DC Studios. The duo’s mission is to reclaim the DC Universe and put it on the same level as rival Marvel.
The first big decision came with the firing of actor Henry Cavill, who was initially set to return as Superman, but was informed that he would no longer be playing the hero, who will return as a younger version.
