DC Studios Cancels Another Film

by his “Challengers” and “Queer” collaborator Justin Kuritzkes, TheWrap exclusively reported. After Daniel Craig left, Colin Farrell, who played The Penguin in Matt Reeves' “The Batman” and the HBO spinoff “The Penguin,” was in talks to play the title character.

One insider said scheduling was the issue. The film's summer production date was missed because it required many outdoor shoots. It was expected to cost under $70 million, which is a bargain for a high-priority comic book adaptation.

DC Studios declined comment.
