James Gunn Responds to Guillermo Del Toro's Justice League Dark Claim

James Gunn recently clarified that filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has not expressed an official interest in directing a Justice League Dark film. While rumors have circulated about del Toro's desire to take on the project, Gunn quipped that del Toro has never discussed it with him personally. This follows a history of such misconceptions, with Gunn referencing filmmakers like Steven Spielberg being rumored to want to direct projects without their direct confirmation. Although DC has previously released an animated Justice League Dark series, del Toro's involvement remains unconfirmed.

While the possibility is not entirely ruled out, as of now, there has been no official confirmation from del Toro himself or James Gunn regarding his involvement in a Justice League Dark project. Any future developments would likely depend on del Toro's interests aligning with DC's plans.

Justice League Dark is a popular series from DC Comics that features supernatural heroes like John Constantine and Zatanna. The characters navigate the darker aspects of the DC Universe, dealing with threats that are too mystical for the traditional Justice League. The animated series released in 2017 received praise for its storytelling and character development, signaling a strong fan interest in this darker corner of the DC franchise.
