Darren Aronofsky reveals he wanted to cast Joaquin Phoenix in a Batman movie but studio wanted Freddie Prinze Jr

Speaking to Empire, Darren revealed that he wanted to cast Joaquin Phoenix but Warner Bros. wanted Freddie Prinze Jr. The project eventually fell apart. “I remember thinking, ‘Uh oh, we’re making two different films here.’ That’s a true story. It was a different time. The Batman I wrote was definitely a way different type of take than they ended up making,” Aronofsky said.

He further revealed that the project could have had nods to Death Wish, The French Connection and Taxi Driver. “It was an amazing thing because I was a big fan of his graphic novel work, so just getting to meet him was exciting back then,” the director recalls. “The Batman that was out before me was Batman & Robin, the famous one with the nipples on the Batsuit, so I was really trying to undermine that, and reinvent it,” he explained. “That’s where my head went.”

Warner Bros. eventually approached ace filmmaker Christopher Nolan to direct the Batman trilogy with Christian Bale cast as the Caped Crusader. Nolan’s The Dark Knight is considered one of the finest superhero flicks of all time.

Meanwhile, Joaquin Phoenix ended up winning accolades and all major awards for Joker which was helmed by Todd Phillips last year.

Wonder Woman 1984: Patty Jenkins speaks about Diana working at the Smithsonian and why Cheetah and Maxwell Lord team up

According to the magazine, Patty Jenkins revealed that Wonder Woman 1984 will open with Diana working at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. The reason being she is keeping an eye on the artifacts that could turn out dangerous. “It’s a world with other gods and other lores,” Patty shared.

In the movie, Kristen Wiig and Pedro Pascal play Cheetah and Maxwell Lord, respectively. But, what makes them team up against Wonder Woman? “What makes Barbara turn into Cheetah is feeling like she’s never been as good as someone like Diana,” Patty further explained. “She reminds me of certain people I’ve known who have such low self-confidence, that they’re always holding themselves back. Then once they start to embrace change, out comes this ugly resentment built up over all those years.”

Wonder Woman 1984, starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine in the leading roles, was postponed in March until August 2020 in the wake of Coronavirus pandemic that has spread around the world. On March 24, the studio announced that the sequel to the hit 2017 DC Comics movie will be postponed until August 14, 2020. The movie was originally scheduled to come out on June 5.
