TheWrap reports that director Gareth Evans, whose credits include action darlings The Raid: Redemption and its sequel The Raid 2, is in talks to write and direct a movie centered around the mercenary Deathstroke for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Which, if any, of those dates Deathstroke lands on the release calendar remains to be seen.
Joe Manganiello is set to star in the film as Slade Wilson, the one eye’d, gun-toting, sword-swinging killer for hire.
A masterful assassin who has enhanced reflexes and strength, Deathstroke remains one of the most deadly people in the DCU despite being an old man.
