Overview
- Multiple trades, led by The Hollywood Reporter, confirm Christina Hodson is writing The Brave and the Bold, with sources saying she has been on the project since at least the fall.
- DC Studios declined to comment on her involvement, and sources indicate a definitive draft is not expected soon as the film develops under a cautious, script-first approach.
- Andy Muschietti remains attached, though his ability to direct will depend on scheduling and his commitments following the success of HBO’s It spinoff Welcome to Derry.
- James Gunn recently reiterated he will not release two Batman movies in the same year, so the DCU film is expected to follow Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson’s The Batman Part II.
- The film is planned to introduce the DCU’s Batman alongside Damian Wayne and the wider Bat-family, and online reaction to Hodson’s hire has been mixed, reflecting debate over her past DC credits.
