The actor said he had watched the film and called it \u201ca phenomenal film,\u201d adding that he was \u201creally sad the world never got to see it.\u201d Scipio suggested that the movie could still be released one day, noting, \u201cYou never know. You never know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warner Bros. cancelled the nearly completed Batgirl in August 2022 before its planned debut on HBO Max. The film starred Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon alongside J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, Brendan Fraser as Firefly, Michael Keaton as Bruce Wayne, and Scipio as mob boss Anthony Bressi. The DCEU developed Batgirl to explore Gotham\u2019s criminal underworld before Warner Bros. shelved the project for a tax write-off.<\/p>\n<p>When interviewer Russ Milheim mentioned that Warner Bros. later reinstated Coyote vs. Acme for release, Jacob Scipio expressed optimism. \u201cIt was great that they saved Coyote vs. Acme. I\u2019m gonna have a ticket and be buying my ticket and seeing that movie myself,\u201d he said. \u201cSo there\u2019s always hope. Hollywood\u2019s a funny place, and I think if enough people want it, it can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the cancellation, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilal Fallah revealed that Warner Bros. locked them out of the production servers immediately, preventing them from accessing or leaking any footage. Despite this, fan campaigns and support from other actors such as Simu Liu have kept attention on the unreleased film. While Warner Bros. has not indicated any plans to release Batgirl, Scipio maintained that if public demand rises, \u201cit can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jacob Scipio, known for his role in Bad Boys for Life and the cancelled DC movie Batgirl, spoke&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64137,4217,29525,64138,156,1016,64139,409,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-83882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-batgirl","9":"tag-batman","10":"tag-dc","11":"tag-dceu","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-entertainment-news","14":"tag-jacob-scipio","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-new-zealand","17":"tag-newzealand","18":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
