AceShowbiz - Joe Manganiello has teased some major details about "The Batman". The actor, who will play villain Deathstroke in the film, assures fans that they have nothing to worry about because the movie will begin the production soon.
"Last year, I said May and that was my understanding. It depends. They have big plans for this movie. Whether or not we start exactly on that date or in June, whatever it is, it doesn't matter," says Manganiello to RI Magazine. "Here's the thing, the creative process needs to be respected and no one involved in this film wants to make anything less than an unbelievable film, a legendary film."
The "Magic Mike XXL" actor continues explaining, "The movie will start shooting whenever those pieces are in place and we know this is gonna be something that we're proud of. What we're not gonna do is be backed into a start date, scrambling to get something off the ground just to get it off the ground." He adds, "Everyone involved wants to make this the best film possible, so that's really what it's about."
"It's funny how the media likes to run with, 'Oh there's trouble!' 'Oh, the script needs to be revised!' They're drama queens. There's a creative process, and everyone on the cast and crew wants to make this the best movie possible. So that's what we're gonna do," says Manganiello. "When we start shooting it, we'll start shooting it. It will be soon, I can say that. Here's the thing, no one wants to create that superhero movie that's polarizing to fans and critics. Rest assured, we're gonna do this thing right."
"The Batman" is currently in pre-production and has yet to set a release date.
