Guillermo Del Toro is a busy man. As a prolific writer, producer and director of such films as Hellboy and Pacific Rim, Del Toro always has many irons in the fire- including finding the time to write the script for the DC Comics property Justice League Dark, now called Dark Universe.
Our friends at Forbes will explain:
Today, the completed screenplay for Dark Universe officially went to weekend reads at Warner Bros. The studio’s reactions to the script will be coming back in a few days, and the film could take another step toward production if Warner has a favorable opinion of what they see on the page. The director confirmed the script’s completion and status while I chatted with him about his FX horror series The Strain (watch for that article coming in a few days, dear readers!).
Obviously, WB wants to change the name from Justice League Dark to Dark Universe, so as not to confuse audiences with the 2016’s Justice League, featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and [probably] Green Lantern.
Del Toro is a wildly talented director, so I’m very excited to see what he has in store for this film. I’d like to see him take on a version of Swamp Thing and a better new version of Constantine. While this project still has yet to be green lit, my hope is that WB likes the script and lets Del Toro move forward with the production.
