DC Studios is reportedly considering Greg Mottola, known for directing Superbad and Adventureland, to helm a Bane and Deathstroke movie. While not confirmed, Deadline mentions Mottola as the top choice, although other directors are also being considered. The film, still in early stages, lacks a set release date.
The Hollywood Reporter initially revealed DC's interest in a Bane and Deathstroke movie in 2024, with Matthew Orton linked to the script. However, Deadline reports that the project is in its nascent phase, lacking a script and signed contracts. Mottola, recognized for his work on various projects, including Peacemaker, has a background in directing comedies.
Details on the movie's plot and its connection to the DC Universe remain vague. Bane and Deathstroke, popular Batman villains, have appeared in different media, with Bane featuring in films like The Dark Knight Rises. Deathstroke, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, has appeared in shows such as Arrow and Titans.
