Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista's "lost" action movie has finally locked in a new director – and it's a major DCU name

Jason Momoa in Braven/Dave Bautista in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista's The Wrecking Crew is back on, and will be directed by a DCU filmmaker. The action movie was first announced way back in 2021 – with Deadpool 2's David Leitch attached to direct – but since then, not much has been heard about it. 

Now, though, The Wrap is reporting that Blue Beetle's Ángel Manuel Soto has signed on to helm the flick. When Leitch was on board, it was set to film in Hawaii, but it's unclear as it stands whether Soto will stick to the same setting.
