Gareth Evans Tak Lagi Terlibat Dengan Filem 'Deathstroke'??

Gareth Evans dilaporkan tidak lagi terlibat dengan filem Deathstroke. Sebelum ini, berita tentang adaptasi watak Deathstroke menjadi bualan setelah watak ini membuat kemunculan dalam filem Justice League. Perancangan filem solo Deathstroke kemudiannya membawa kepada pendedahan bahawa Gareth Evans berkemungkinan terlibat dalam filem tersebut sebagai pengarah.

Joe Manganiello dipilih menjadi watak Deathstroke dan bakal muncul dalam filem The Batman ketika Ben Affleck dikatakan bakal mengarahkan filem itu. Malangnya, apabila projek itu bertukar tangan kepada Matt Reeves, nampaknya watak Deathstroke menjadi terumbang ambing untuk berada dalam dunia DCEU.

Bercakap kepada Comicbook.com, pengarah The Raid itu menjelaskan tentang status dirinya dan kaitan dengan projek filem Deathstroke. Walaupun pernah dia terlibat seketika untuk projek itu, kini dia tidak lagi aktif dengan projek berkenaan.

"I had a phone call which I think was publicized a bit, about Deathstroke with DC. We talked about that before, we had a few conversations. One of the guys at DC and at Warner Brothers, one with Joe, who has been on the character for some time now, who is super passionate about that character, by the way. I've never met anyone who knows more about their character.

"I was feeling my way around it and did a bit of research and read a couple of those comic books. I started to dig in to the origin stories. I like to figure out what the origin of a character is and what shapes them, what paints them as a personality. There's been a few iterations, actually, of his origin, which is interesting to see. There was the original way his character was created and then there's been a few creative licenses taken in terms of how he lost his eye, for example, and stuff like that. So, it was an interesting sort of experience.

"Nothing really went beyond those conversations. I haven't heard anything for a really long time. To be honest, every time I see an article written I keep wanting to ask, 'Okay, what is it you guys know that I don't know?' Because I haven't heard anything for a good while yet. So I don't know if that will ever come back full circle at some point. But I know I haven't had any conversation about that project for a long time now."

Menurut pelakon watak Deathstroke, projek filem itu masih dalam perancangan. Namun, ianya masih tidak diketahui bila akan disiapkan. Ramai yang menyangkakan kemunculan Deathstroke di akhir filem Justice League akan memberi hint kepada filem Legion of Doom. Namun, nampaknya idea itu masih akan tersimpan buat masa ini.
