Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro recently provided some insight into his scrapped Justice League Dark movie. In a recent interview, del Toro opened up about the cancelled DC project and disclosed several plot details as well as whether he has had conversations with James Gunn about a potential revival.

Guillermo del Toro says Batman would’ve had a brief cameo in his Justice League Dark movie

During his recent appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast, Guillermo del Toro revealed that even though he hadn’t begun casting for his now-abandoned Justice League film, he wanted Hellboy star Doug Jones to play Deadman.

“No, I was not casting yet,” del Toro said, before adding, “I knew I wanted Doug Jones to be Deadman, only because physically he could do the suit, and I knew his mannerisms. I loved that screenplay, I was in love with [it]. I thought it brought everyone in effortlessly.”

The 61-year-old director further disclosed, “The plot made absolute perfect sense. I really loved how they got tangled. We had the Floronic Man as one of the villains. It was really great because Swamp Thing was very fleshed out.”

Talking about how the Caped Crusader would’ve fit into his Justice League Dark plans, Guillermo del Toro noted, “There was a moment when Batman came in briefly. They said, ‘We need a plane,’ and ‘A friend of mine has a plane,’ and then you were in Bruce Wayne’s office. I would have loved to have done it. Now, I wouldn’t.”

Despite his apparent passion for the project, del Toro added that he has not approached DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn about reviving his Justice League Dark movie. “Now and then, I write him about something else he’s doing right. I think he’s remarkably smart [and] I loved Superman,” he shared. “I really enjoy the way he’s viewing the universe. The screenplay is there. It was a couple of years of development. We never got to the art. It had great set pieces. My favourite one was a chase with Deadman jumping from one body to the next.”
