Joe Manganiello kommer att spela rollen som Deathstroke i Matt Reeves (Let Me In, Apornas planet: Uppgörelsen) kommande solorulle The Batman. Det vet vi redan. Batfleck kommer att agera Läderlapp (det vet vi redan) och manuset har skrivits om flera gånger vid det här laget (det vet vi också). Nu har dock Joe, via en intervju med RIM gått ut och försäkrat alla fans och all media om att de verkligen gör allt de överhuvudtaget kan för att sätta ihop en "legendarisk film" och att media är dramadrottningar.
Joe Manganiello om The Batman:
"Last year, I said May and that was my understanding. It depends. They have big plans for this movie. Whether or not we start exactly on that date or in June, whatever it is, it doesn't matter. Here's the thing: The creative process needs to be respected and no one involved in this film wants to make anything less than an unbelievable film, a legendary film. The movie will start shooting whenever those pieces are in place and we know this is gonna be something that we're proud of.
What we're not gonna do is be backed into a start date, scrambling to get something off the ground just to get it off the ground. Everyone involved wants to make this the best film possible, so that's really what it's about. It's funny how the media likes to run with, 'Oh there's trouble!' 'Oh, the script needs to be revised!' They're drama queens.
There's a creative process, and everyone on the cast and crew wants to make this the best movie possible. So that's what we're gonna do. When we start shooting it, we'll start shooting it. It will be soon, I can say that. Here's the thing: No one wants to create that superhero movie that's polarizing to fans and critics. Rest assured, we're gonna do this thing right."
Det låter bra, tycker vi.
