Joe Manganiello, known for his role as Flash Thompson in Spider-Man (2002), has had an interesting journey in the world of superhero films. Despite his initial foray into the DCEU not quite panning out as expected, Manganiello recently shared some insights into his experiences with the franchise.
In a recent interview, Manganiello revealed that DC Studios CEO James Gunn provided him with valuable advice that helped him come to terms with letting go of a creative project involving his portrayal of Deathstroke. Manganiello had written a screenplay for a Deathstroke origin film, which was intended to be turned into a graphic novel series by DC Comics. However, uncertainties regarding his involvement in potential adaptations led him to ultimately abandon the project.
