JJ Abrams Justice League Dark

JJ Abrams has been in the franchise for quite a long time and claims to deliver the best of the best. Fans also love how he portrays the character he’s worked with for so long. However, with multiple projects on the back burner, it’s frustrating for fans to keep waiting for something they were promised almost two years ago.

Almost two years ago, news broke that JJ Abrams was planning a Justice League Dark franchise with Bad Robot.

With recent development and claims that the Warner Brothers have already seen the script of Constantine and the pilot episode of Madam Xanaduhe seems to be seeing some growth.

The scenario for Constantine is written by Guy Bolton and is supposed to be based on a horror theme. Rumors were also circulating that the production house was looking for a black actor to play the lead role in the upcoming series and cast Sope Dirisu in the lead role.

Seeing how the production was going two years after it was announced, WBD decided not to cancel Abrams’ plans with the DCEU.

WBD has not confirmed any shows or movies other than Shazam, Black Adam, Joker 2and blue beetles. If the production takes place in the avengers-style, we can see one or two other members of the Justice League Dark get their own stories. And with that, Justice League Dark still has a long way to go.
