Following the booming success of Weapons, it’s hardly a surprise that all eyes are on director Zach Cregger for whatever he has lined up next. After creating his own horrifying world of estranged aunts and kids running like Naruto at stupid o’clock in the morning, he’s now headed to Raccoon City for his untitled Resident Evil adaptation, which won’t mirror the games but will seemingly be a love letter to them. There is one dream project, however, that’s going to stay just that, according to the director, and it’s set in the DC universe.
A while back, it was reported that Cregger had penned a script called “Henchman” that followed a titular low-level thug in Gotham City, who draws the wrong kind of attention after taking down Batman. Cregger had already revealed that a lot of the comic book movie-related hubbub had been “blown out of proportion,” and now he’s provided even more of a disappointing update. In an interview with Screen Rant, Cregger explained that he still has love for his DC-based tale, but it will be tucked away until the time is right.
