Guillermo del Toro has developed many projects that, for one reason or another, just haven\u2019t been able to get off the ground. One of those projects was Justice League Dark, which del Toro was working on over a decade ago. Doug Liman<\/a> (Road House) even came on board to direct the film at one point, but it still didn\u2019t move forward.<\/p>\n

Guillermo del Toro on Justice League Dark Casting Rumours<\/p>\n

While speaking with Josh Horowitz for Happy Sad Confused<\/a>, del Toro dropped a few details about Justice League Dark and addressed the rumour that he had been considering Colin Farrell to play John Constantine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I was not casting yet. I knew I wanted Doug Jones to be Deadman, only because physically he could do the suit, and I knew his mannerisms,\u201d del Toro explained.\u00a0\u201cI loved that screenplay. I was in love with [it]. I thought it brought everyone in effortlessly. The plot made absolute perfect sense. I really loved how they got tangled. We had the Floronic Man as one of the villains. It was really great because Swamp Thing was very fleshed out.\u201c<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that Doug Jones would have been involved, as the actor has appeared in many of del Toro\u2019s projects.<\/p>\n

Batman Would Have Made an Appearance<\/p>\n

Del Toro also revealed that Batman would have made a brief appearance in the film.\u201dThere was a moment when Batman came in briefly,\u201d he said. \u201cThey said, \u2018We need a plane,\u2019\u00a0and \u2018A friend of mine has a plane,\u2019 and then you were in Bruce Wayne\u2019s office. I would have loved to have done it. Now, I wouldn\u2019t.\u201c<\/p>\n

There have been rumblings that Justice League Dark could be resurrected under James Gunn and Peter Safran, but del Toro says he hasn\u2019t spoken with Gunn about it. \u201cNo, no, no. Now and then, I write him about something else he\u2019s doing right. I think he\u2019s remarkably smart. I loved Superman,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cI really enjoy the way he\u2019s viewing the universe. The screenplay is there. It was a couple of years of development. We never got to the art. It had great set pieces. My favourite one was a chase with Deadman jumping from one body to the next.\u201c<\/p>\n

Although it would be interesting to see the Frankenstein director tackle some DC characters, if we could only get one unrealized del Toro project, I\u2019d have to cast my vote for At the Mountains of Madness<\/a>.<\/p>\n
