Zach Cregger, director of weaponsclarify what is true in the alleged story of Gotham

When Hollywood is full of rumors, the nets burn faster dust faster. And this happened with Zach Cregger and its mysterious project based on DC Comics. For weeks it has been repeated that your script Shelter included a Batman, Joker Y Harley Quinn In a dark story set in Gotham. However, the director himself decided to hit the table: much of what has been said is not real.

A script between myth and reality

In a recent speech with the Media Brindisi, the director of Weapons He did not walk with the Rodei: “This is exaggerated online. It is not a script by Joker and Harley Quinn. I have not spoken with James Gunn about it. I have two films before in my agenda. Much of what has been written is not true”he condemned.

The project started playing strongly when The Hollywood journalist He revealed that the script of Cregger revolved around Little -Mount Thug who managed to defeat Batman for pure luck. From there, the titles have multiplied. Some insiders, such as the famous Daniel Richtman, even shared a detailed synopsis with tragedy dyes: a pharmacist named Robert Redgard, father of a sick child, who after an unfair arrest would have ended up escaping a penitentiary bus and join Joker and Harley Quinn.

The plot described painted a journey from moral descentin which the protagonist passed from the man common to consummate criminal. The concept, halfway between a social drama and a criminal ribbon in style Joker From Todd Phillips, it was so plausible that many have given it.

Between voices and confirmations

Now, even if Thr Yes, he indicated the moment when Cregger I hadn’t talked to Gunn or DC studiesThe ball was already rolling. For fans, Shelter He became “Joker’s new film and Harley Quinn”. And that’s exactly what the director wanted to clarify. It is not a ribbon focused on that chaotic couple, but something more personal that still remains blocked.

The funny thing is that, despite wanting to reduce expectations, Cregger confessed that it is his favorite script of all those who wrote. He even declared in another interview that, if one day he had received the call from DC Studios, he would leave everything to roll him: “I love him and I can’t wait to do it. I never talked to James Gunn, but I would like to have that conversation”.

A complicated calendar

The problem, of course, is the director’s agenda. After the success of Barbaric And your signature for Weaponsnow you have on the list a New restart of Resident Evil and a project of Untitled science fiction. With these commitments at the top, it seems clear that if DC decides to bet ShelterFilming will not be immediate.

That temporal distance can be a double -edged sword. On the one hand, he gives time to Gunn and Safran to evaluate whether the script fits into theirs DCu. On the other, the interest of the public could cool if the project is too long in the shade.

The charm of anti -heroes in Gotham

In addition to the truthfulness of the voices, the truth is that the idea of ​​following the story of A shelter (That is, one of those bad guys who normally end as a cannon fodder) is tremendously attractive. DC has already shown that dark or marginal characters can drag the public: here they are Joker, Suicide or even Pacifier.

The possibility of seeing how a little in the municipality falls gradually in madness and crime within Gotham is felt like a natural evolution of that interest. Although Cregger denies that Joker and Harley are the protagonists, he would not surprise this, somehow, These chaos icons appear tangentially.

What can we really expect?

At the moment, the only sure thing is that The script exists and that Cregger is proud of him. All the rest, from Batman’s presence to Gunn’s involvement, are speculation. But if something has shown that the director is that he knows how to manage suspense. Barbaric has made a apparently simple premise a phenomenon of modern horror and with Shelter It could take a surprising turning point in the superhero genre.

For now, fans will have to settle for imagining what that Gotham would like to the eyes of a criminal pawn. And perhaps, in the future, let’s find out if this story becomes the next great commitment of DC Studios or remains one of those worship scripts circulating in Hollywood.

What is clear is that, between voices and negations, Zach Cregger made everyone talk about their mysterious project. And this, in a world saturated with successes and losses, is already a result.
