The live action film lost del Toro, but was rescued by Edge of Tomorrow‘s Doug Liman and WB, who are both keen on crafting the supernatural and unconventional side of the DC film universe.
Just as Marvel and Edgar Wright had long been planning an Ant-Man movie before the MCU even began, DC and Guillermo del Toro have been attempting to create a live action version of Justice League Dark for some time.
Not only did we learn yesterday that the third Hellboy film is inching forward, but Justice League Dark has been given new life.
At the same time, next week will see the release of an animated version of the team that tackles the more mystical and magical threats that the Justice League aren’t capable of handling.
