Marvel star revolts over cancellation of $90 million Batgirl movie, sympathizes with fellow actress – Monet

Actress Zoe Saldana used her Instagram account to express her anger over the cancellation of the $90 million film about the heroine Batgirl. With most of the filming already completed, the feature had its post-production suspended and its premiere canceled by Warner Bros studios.

Interpreter of the alien warrior Gamora in the Marvel films, Saldana also sympathized with fellow profession Leslie Grace, interpreter of the main character of the canceled film.

“Not fair… A truly disgusting act on the part of a studio,” Saldana wrote in her post with a link to an article announcing the cancellation of ‘Batgirl. Then she added: “Why is that? For a tax break?!”

A few moments later, Saldana shared a post by Leslie Grace on Instagram, with a message directed at her fans, along with a record of her in the uniform of the DC Comics heroine.

Grace wrote: “To all Batgirl fans – THANK YOU for the love and belief, as Babs [identidade secreta da heroína] says, ‘I’m my own hero!’ Batgirl forever!”

Saldana first played Gamora in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ (2014). She returned to the character in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ (2017), ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (2018) and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ (2019).

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ is scheduled for release in May 2023.

Warner Bros studios. took the ‘Batgirl’ cast and directors by surprise by announcing the decision to suspend the release of the work – either in theaters or on streaming platforms.

In addition to Leslie Grace, the film still had in its cast with renowned actors such as Michael Keaton, JK Simmons and Brendan Fraser.

Warner executives responded to criticism of the film’s cancellation by pointing out alleged problems with the direction of the feature.

“Our goal is to grow the DC Comics brand, the DC Comics characters, but our job is also to protect the DC brand,” said the group’s CEO, David Zaslav, in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine’s website.
