A number of of the movies on Warner Bros. DC Comics slate have been in limbo for fairly a while, and one of many movies caught in limbo for the longest is Chris McKay’s Nightwing. The movie was introduced again in 2017 and there was fairly a little bit of hype for it throughout that preliminary interval. Sadly ever since updates have been laborious to return by, because the DC film lineup has skilled some sizable shakeups alongside the best way. There’s excellent news for Nightwing followers although, as throughout a current interview CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast, McKay revealed that the film has not been shelved, and he nonetheless hopes to make it a actuality.
“I hope it is nonetheless a actuality. I hope that we nonetheless get to make that film,” McKay mentioned. “So far as I am involved, it isn’t misplaced but. It’s clearly one thing that… they’ve had different priorities, they’ve had different challenges. They’d had issues that they wanted to do, and I believe that they discovered their manner. I believe their current successes, and the stuff that they’re planning on doing now, I believe it opens the door for us to nonetheless be capable of do a Nightwing film. Whether or not you name it ‘in an alternate universe’ otherwise you decide of their multiverse model which universe it is a part of, there are alternative ways into it. However Nightwing is an enormous, action-packed, emotional film. It could not, budgetarily, be just like what we do with The Tomorrow Warfare. However from a scope and scale standpoint, so far as the type of motion and the type of coronary heart, that is what Nightwing goes to be all about.”
In earlier descriptions of the movie, McKay had quite a bit to say about what followers can count on from the motion within the film, telling Collider “It is gonna be a f****** badass motion film with lots of coronary heart and emotion. It is gonna be a loopy, enjoyable experience. Whoever will get forged as Nightwing, and any of the opposite actors round, are gonna undergo a f****** boot camp expertise as a result of it is gonna be quite a bit.”
“I am not gonna do lots of CG,” McKay mentioned. “It is gonna be all actual s***. It is gonna be actual stuntwork, and so they’re gonna must do the entire stuff on digital camera and do it credibly. For the forged and the crew, it is gonna be a visceral expertise, and for the viewers. It isn’t gonna be like lots of these films the place there’s lots of CG and flying, and issues like that. Every part he does is gonna must be actual.”
“His superpower is being actually f****** good, as a human being, at preventing and gymnastics and s*** like that, so that you’re gonna see that on display screen. It is gonna be enjoyable!” McKay mentioned.
