“The Brave and the Bold” no longer planned? Batman movie director talks about his future projects

Following the leadership change at DC Studios, the fate of one of James Gunn’s projects remains uncertain.

In October, director Andy Muschietti and his sister, producer Barbara Muschietti, were interviewed by the Awkward Puppets YouTube channel. However, attention was drawn to the conversation only on November 9, amid news of the leadership change at DC Studios. The reason was a curious detail: among the Muschiettis' future projects, “The Brave and the Bold”—the Batman film Andy was appointed to direct back in 2023—was missing.

Answering a question about their immediate plans, Barbara Muschietti mentioned the second season of “It: Welcome to Derry”, an Amazon series, a sci-fi project, and a musical:

“Season two of ‘Welcome to Derry’. We made a series for Amazon called Ride or Die, which we really love. Andy is also writing a big sci-fi project based on an original idea. And hopefully, we'll take on Rudy Mancuso's next film. We really love him, it has great songs. It's a musical.”

Against the backdrop of these remarks, fans became concerned about the fate of “The Brave and the Bold”, which was supposed to introduce Batman into the main DC cinematic universe. Previously, James Gunn admitted that plans for the character had changed, but did not disclose details. The DC Studios leadership shakeup raised additional questions: the statement regarding the departure of Gunn and Peter Safran mentioned that they would continue working on Matt Reeves' “The Batman Part II” as producers, but not a word was said about Muschietti's project.

Officially, “The Brave and the Bold” has not yet been canceled. More clarity may emerge after December 1, when Jeremy Latcham takes over the studio.
