Warner Bros Reportedly Wants To Keep Leslie Grace As Batgirl In Future Film

DC fans have been put through the wringer this month, following the news that Warner Bros. Discovery has cancelled the already-completed Batgirl film, instead of releasing the project in theaters or on HBO Max. That news has definitely dismayed those who are fans of Barbara Gordon / Batgirl, and who were looking forward to seeing In The Heights star Leslie Grace embody the iconic role. When the shelving was first confirmed, a statement from Warner Bros. Discovery indicated that the studio hopes to work with Grace, as well as directors Bilall Fallah and Adil El Arbi, on future projects, and a new report indicates what that might entail. According to Variety, Warner Bros. Pictures Group chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy are hoping to “mend fences” with Grace, either by having her continue to play Batgirl in another project, or star in another production for the studio.
