Joss Whedon, the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is in early negotiations to write, direct and produce a Batgirl movie for Warner Bros.
The negotiations are in the early stages but the deal is said to be moving ahead in a big way. Toby Emmerich, Jon Berg, and Geoff Johns are also said to be attached.
Whedon last directed Avengers: Age of Ultron, the second in the Avengers series and he also helmed the first film as well. Both films made a bundle at the box office but the sequel wasn’t as warmly received and Whedon took a bit of a break after that film was released. The upside to him being involved in this DC property is that Whedon is no stranger to making a great project with a strong female lead so this could be in good hands if the deal goes through.
More to come…
