DC Studios Reportedly Eyes Superbad’s Greg Mottola for Bane and Deathstroke Movie
DC Studios is reportedly in early discussions with director Greg Mottola to helm an untitled Bane and Deathstroke film. Mottola, known for directing the comedy Superbad and the HBO series Peacemaker, is positioned as the frontrunner for the project, though the studio is also considering other potential directors.
The news comes via reports from Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter, with the latter outlet having first announced DC’s interest in a Bane and Deathstroke team-up film in 2024. At that time, the project was being developed with input from a Moon Knight-related scribe, though additional details remain limited.
No official release date has been set for the film, and DC Studios has not made any formal announcements regarding the director, cast, or other production details. The project remains in early development.
Bane and Deathstroke are prominent DC Comics villains frequently featured as antagonists in Batman storylines and across the broader DC Universe. A team-up film focused on these characters would represent an interesting addition to DC Studios’ upcoming slate.
