Joe Manganiello on His Love of 'Dungeons & Dragons' and His 'Batman' Status | Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Manganiello to talk about his love of D&D. We also pressed him for an update on his status in Warner Bros.' upcoming Batman movie. For the uninitiated: He was supposed to play the villain Deathstroke when Ben Affleck was directing — Affleck even tweeted out footage of him in costume from the Justice League set. But now that Affleck has stepped aside and Matt Reeves has stepped in to helm the film, his future in the franchise is in question.
Quote:
I think a lot of people are wondering what the status of Deathstroke is in the next Batman movie now that Ben Affleck is off the project as director. Do you have any information about that?
I don’t. Well, I do but nothing that I can share. I know everything but I can’t say any of it.
Was that imparted in a happy way or a downtrodden way? I’m trying to interpret the fluctuations in your tone.
[Pause.] I’m shooting for a neutral tone.
You’re succeeding.
Thanks.
Any idea when we’ll find out?
It’s not up to me. That’s a good question for Warner Bros. and D.C.
