While there was a time when Zach Cregger was best known for his comedic work, particularly on the TV show The Whitest Kids U’ Know, these days he’s churning out more intense fare as a filmmaker. I’m of course referring to his movies Barbarian and Weapons, the latter of which opens on the 2025 release schedule in July in just a few weeks, not to mention him helming the Resident Evil reboot. Now there’s a rumor circulating that Cregger is looking to make a specific kind of upcoming DC movie, and I’m down for the idea he’s allegedly come up with.
Back in 2022, Zach Cregger mentioned that he’d written a movie that “takes place in the DC Universe” and is a “Batman-adjacent thing,” despite the fact that he’s not “normally” into superhero movies. He later described this script as the “best thing” he’s ever written, and now scooper Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie) is claiming that Cregger has written a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Richtman added that while he’s not sure if Cregger has pitched his side to DC Studios co-head James Gunn, he intends to do so.
