Since the merger of Warner Brothers and Discovery, DC movies have faced multiple cancellations. Recently, the studio canceled bat girl, and a few other highly anticipated projects are shelved by CEO David Zaslav. Apparently, with the new merger, the company plans to release a 10-year plan for the DCEU. The question of what will happen to JJ Abrams Justice League Dark in all this is still unanswered.
This new plan for this DC Extended Universe includes movies like Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Joker 2and so called blue beetle.
When will Justice League Dark be released?
Meanwhile, in all of this, one more movie or series, as the producer called it, Justice League Dark, has been suspended for almost two years now. The team of supernatural beings includes Constantine, Zatanna, Madame Xanadu, Swamp Thing, and more.

Well, JJ Abrams with production house Bad Robot, intends to release his own Justice League Dark series for HBO Max under its current deal with Warner Brothers.
Earlier, when the director announced the production, he said that it will not just be a movie and that he will develop it for both cinema and television.

He also revealed the plan he sketched out for the Justice League franchise on HBO Max and how it would feature two characters with a series planned for them. With the continued cancellation under WBD, many updates are on the way and fans are worried that the same will happen to the long-awaited upcoming series.

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.
