Director/producer/writer Guillermo
del Toro is a busy man. While his primary focus right now is his FX show, The
Strain, the haunted house movie, Crimson Peak, and prepping the Pacific Rim
sequel, del Toro is hoping to cram another smaller movie in between those two. However
the thoughts on many people's minds is his take on DC's Dark Universe, especially
now that there is a Constantine tv show, but also the Neil Gaiman's Sandman
adaptation by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Speaking to Superhero Hype, the
director offered an update on the project.
“I’m still working on it,” del Toro said. “Sandman doesn’t figure in the Dark Universe. We have
Deadman, we have the Demon, we have Swamp Thing, we have Zatana, we have Constantine,
but DC and Warners have been very clear that they are trying to keep those
properties separate so when the time comes they can unite them, once they know
they’re quantifiable. Batman, Superman, Green Lantern… everyone eventually will
come together. Right now, they’re allowing us independence.”
As for the upcoming Constantine show, the director
says:
“No, I had that conversation when the Constantine show was
pitched. I said, ‘Do I have to have continuity with that?’ and they said, ‘No,
feel free to continue the way you’re going.”
