Guillermo Del Toro Confirms He Is Working On “Dark” DC Comics Film ‘Dark Universe’

Not long ago it was rumored that Guillermo del Toro was going to be working on a team-up film featuring a number of the characters from DC Comics darker side. From the description and the team rumored to appear the film sounded like it would be a loose interpretation of the New 52’s Justice League Dark.

Del Toro has now finally confirmed that he is indeed working on the project, which will be called Dark Universe,  and is currently writing an outline for the film. The director also goes on to reveal that he will be working with another writer who is “the perfect guy for the job”. Del Toro wouldn’t reveal just who the writer is but did state they really want to do this and are awaiting the green-light from Warner Bros.

So, what about the characters who will be appearing in the film? Well, Del Toro confirms that if the film gets the green-light we will at least (fingers crossed on Buddy Baker aka Animal Man) see Swamp Thing, John Constantine (still no word if this will be the same character from the previous film), Deadman, Etrigan, The Spectre, Zatanna and Zatara in the film.
