The Raid filmmaker Gareth Evans may direct a standalone Deathstroke movie.
TheWrap reports Evans is in early talks to write and direct the film, which would star Joe Manganiello as the DC Comics assassin. Warner Bros. and DC executives were reportedly impressed by the director's pitch for the film.
IGN can confirm the talks are early because the project is still in early development.
Deathstroke was originally supposed to appear in Ben Affleck's The Batman film. However, after Affleck stepped down as director and War for the Planet of the Apes filmmaker Matt Reeves took over the project, Reeves reportedly shelved Affleck's script.
As a result, it's currently unknown if Deathstroke will still be a part of The Batman. Manganiello spoke about the character's status in the upcoming DC movie earlier this year.
Matt Reeves wants to tell a "very emotional" story that features a "detective version of Batman," and the filmmaker recently clarified that Batman is indeed part of the DC Extended Universe.
The next DC film hitting theaters is Justice League on November 17, featuring Batman. Shazam is the next movie in the DCEU to begin shooting, scheduled to get underway later this year, with a possible 2019 release.
