Zach Cregger<\/strong><\/a>, the director and writer behind Barbarian<\/a> and Weapons<\/a>, wrote a script for a DC movie that he hopes to get made, and a new report sheds some light on what it is.<\/p>\n

What is the name of Zach Cregger\u2019s DC movie? <\/p>\n

While previously rumored to be set around Joker and Harley Quinn<\/a>, Cregger\u2019s movie instead focuses on the lesser-known characters that exist in the world of Gotham City.<\/p>\n

According to a report in THR\u2019s Heat Vision newsletter<\/a>, Cregger\u2019s movie is titled Henchmen, and follows the story of a low-level henchman in Gotham City who incapacitates Batman through a \u201cstroke of luck.\u201d After this, he begins to gain notoriety in Gotham\u2019s crime underworld. <\/p>\n

The report also mentions that characters like Batman, Joker, and Harley Quinn could all appear \u201cbriefly\u201d in the movie. However, the movie has several notable hurdles to get through before ever being made. Specifically, James Gunn and Peter Safran have not cast any of Batman, Joker, or Harley in the DCU yet. <\/p>\n

Another hitch is that, according to THR, Gunn and Safran will likely \u201cbe careful\u201d with Batman-related content while Matt Reeves is still crafting his own The Batman universe. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with THR, Cregger acknowledged the script, but did note that it wasn\u2019t in his plans just yet. Up next for Cregger is his Resident Evil film. Then, he says he has an original sci-fi film that he wants to make, before listing the mysterious DC movie as the project he\u2019d like to tackle after that. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have\u00a0Resident Evil,\u00a0and then I have a sci-fi movie right after that that\u2019s original,\u201d said Zach Cregger. \u201cAnd then I have another finished script that I want to do after that. It actually takes place in the DC Universe, but it\u2019s a totally original and it\u2019s not a superhero movie.\u201d <\/p>\n
