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 may be 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 is not 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 feel that they discovered their approach. I feel their current successes, and the stuff that they’re planning on doing now, I feel it opens the door for us to nonetheless have the ability to do a Nightwing film. Whether or not you name it ‘in an alternate universe’ otherwise you choose of their multiverse model which universe it is a part of, there are other ways into it. However Nightwing is an enormous, action-packed, emotional film. It could not, budgetarily, be much like what we do with The Tomorrow Battle. However from a scope and scale standpoint, so far as the sort of motion and the sort of coronary heart, that is what Nightwing goes to be all about.”
In earlier descriptions of the movie, McKay had so much to say about what followers can anticipate 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 trip. Whoever will get solid 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 so much.”
“I am not gonna do lots of CG,” McKay mentioned. “It is gonna be all actual s***. It is gonna be actual stuntwork, they usually’re gonna must do the entire stuff on digital camera and do it credibly. For the solid 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 thing he does is gonna need to be actual.”
“His superpower is being actually f****** good, as a human being, at combating and gymnastics and s*** like that, so that you’re gonna see that on display screen. It is gonna be enjoyable!” McKay mentioned.
