These are not easy days for the “Batgirl” team., the DC film that Warner Bros. Discovery has decided to cancel (despite having a good part of the tape ready) with the intent of recovering some of the money invested. Adil El Arbi, director of the film along with Bilall Fallah, discovered the decision while celebrating their wedding in Morocco, something absolutely terrible. Both the filmmakers and the main character, Leslie Grace, have made statements showing their sadness at the decision.
The three have not stopped receiving support in the past few hours, some from very influential people within the industry. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, wrote an email to Fallah and El Arbi to give them strength and remind them that he is very proud of the work they have done on ‘Ms. Wonder’: “My friends, I just had to write to tell you what we’re all thinking of you. Because of the wonderful wedding news (congratulations!) And the disappointing ‘Batgirl’ news. I am so proud of you and the wonderful work you do, especially ‘Ms. Wonder obviously. I can’t wait to see what you will do next. I hope to see you soon” says the concise email.
The directors thanked all the signs of affection on Instagram, and wanted to highlight two other directors who contacted them: Edgar Wright and James Gunn. They both have experience with losing to the Hollywood machine.. Wright would be the director of the first “Ant-Man” film and ended up leaving due to creative differences despite him having long fought with the House of Ideas to make his vision of him prevail. James Gunn was fired for some old tweets with racist and macabre jokes, although some time after he apologized he resumed work and returned to Marvel with “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” and a Christmas special with Star-Lord. and company. The directors of ‘Batgirl’ did not explain what they were told, but only commented: “Your words of kindness and experience mean a lot and help us get through this difficult time”.
Simu-Liu’s bad joke
And although the support was virtually unanimous and Warner’s decision caused blisters in Hollywood, Simu Liu recently went viral over a joke about the cancellation of the film, which many have indicated as rather bad taste and “who gave him a candle at this funeral”. The Tweet He says: “I’m sorry to inform you that Disney decided to cancel the Shang-Chi Christmas special due to quality control issues. They had already shot it in its entirety. They even designed a Ta Lo made entirely of ginger. RIP Shang – Who is the legend of the golden rings dieeez “.
