Zach Cregger Pushes Back on DC Speculation, Says His Gotham Script Isn’t a Joker or Harley Story

Cregger characterizes the online chatter as inaccurate, noting no conversations with James Gunn.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Double Toasted podcast, Cregger said the coverage is being blown out of proportion and that "not much" of it is true.
  • He confirmed a DC-set script exists and remains a passion project, though he emphasized it is not centered on Joker or Harley Quinn.
  • Cregger said he has not spoken with DC Studios co-chief James Gunn about the project.
  • He noted two other films are ahead of any DC work, limiting near-term availability.
  • Cregger’s next film is a Resident Evil reboot he describes as a love letter to the games, set for a September 18, 2026 theatrical release and positioned outside established game protagonists.
