Pushed for updates on The Brave and the Bold, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has repeatedly said that the script is being worked on. The Flash helmer\u00a0Andy Muschietti remains attached to direct, and it sounds like he’ll be reunited with writer\u00a0Christina Hodson.<\/p>\n
She’s no stranger to the DC Universe after penning Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) and The Flash. Jeff Sneider<\/a> was first to share the news, while\u00a0Nexus Point News’ @ApocHorseman<\/a>\u00a0later confirmed,\u00a0“This is unfortunately true.”<\/p>\n As the scooper implies, this news has received a mixed response on social media. Neither of Hodson’s DCEU movies received the warmest of responses from fans, so her being tasked with rebooting Batman for the DCU is either very good or\u00a0very bad news, depending on how much you enjoyed Birds of Prey and The Flash.<\/p>\n Hodson did deliver a solid take on Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader in the latter movie and put a fun spin on Black Mask in Birds of Prey. She’s no stranger to Gotham City, then, and Gunn is clearly a fan of the writer.\u00a0Hodson also wrote Batgirl, which was deemed “unrelaseable” by Warner Bros. Discovery and scrapped during shooting.<\/p>\n In 2023, the Superman helmer took to social media to write, “Christina’s script for \u00a0[The Flash] is magnificent; the fact that the movie works so well is a testament to her wonderful writing as well as Andy’s glorious directing.”\u00a0<\/p>\n The Flash ended up receiving a\u00a063% score on Rotten Tomatoes and a lacklustre\u00a0B CinemaScore, meaning it ranks among the lowest-rated DCEU movies in the latter category. While Gunn considered it a masterpiece, most fans ultimately didn’t agree.\u00a0<\/p>\n Last year, Gunn said that he likes where\u00a0The Brave and the Bold’s script is, but cautioned that\u00a0“some things have changed”\u00a0and that\u00a0“plenty of things are in flux on what his situation is with his parentage and all that stuff.”\u00a0When he was pushed on that comment and asked if\u00a0Damian is still in the movie, he replied,\u00a0“I think you have to wait to see exactly what’s happening.”<\/p>\n “People can guess and maybe they’ll be right about certain things.\u00a0We’d have to screen test, we’d have to do the whole thing,”\u00a0he later said of casting the DCU’s Bruce Wayne before adding,\u00a0“Okay, I see what you’re doing. ‘1923’, it’s a really good TV show, like I can’t believe how good that show was.”<\/p>\n He later noted,\u00a0“One actor in particular,\u00a0a pretty big star, wants to be Batman. We\u2019ve talked about it, but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the case,”<\/p>\n The Brave and the Bold doesn’t have a confirmed release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pushed for updates on The Brave and the Bold, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has repeatedly said that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":382192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[144871,96,2839,47202,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-382191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-christina-hodson","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-the-brave-and-the-bold","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
