I read about Reeves' agent's playin hardball. I was wondering if it's in the context of Time Warner & ATT merger? WB can easily afford Reeves.
Link?
I see it mentioned in the Variety story, but not from a WB source, just editorialized.

I'm going by your logic, man.
There goes my dream casting of Gyllenhaal as Batman.Nevermind, I found it: https://twitter.com/ErikDavis/status/834851893859975168

Was there ever a source that he wasn't attached?

I'm seeing speculation on Twitter that Joe Manganiello (also not mentioned in the release) is out. No matter what the revisions of the script, this is not going to happen.
They invested the money in conceptualizing, manufacturing and testing the Deathstroke suit. He'll be in the film in some capacity.
Also, people are pointing to his being cast in Rampage as reason that he'll have a scheduling conflict. Who is the star and producer on Rampage? Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The Rock isn't going to steal an asset that the DCEU needs to succeed when he is a member of the DCEU. He'll work with the studio and Manganiello to make it work.
Also, judging by the enthusiasm and prep that Manganiello is putting into the role (his interview on the D&D Podcast a couple weeks ago) he's still in the film.
Justin Kroll of Variety has finally published (outside of Twitter) that Chris Terrio's latest script has pleased WB Pictures and Ben Affleck. That's a big deal to report officially.
I think this film is back on solid ground.

I have a measured optimism for this. This could be great if all the variables line up but with the winning studio that is WB, could still find a way to **** this up.
Hopefully
A) WB doesn't screw things up with Reeves and cause him to walk.
I honestly would not care if they lost Joe. I don't think anyone, but Joe would care.

Its happened before. Don't act like they can't drop Joe, even at this stage.I'm seeing speculation on Twitter that Joe Manganiello (also not mentioned in the release) is out. No matter what the revisions of the script, this is not going to happen.

Good to see other people expressing the same excitement as myself t:
With WB's track record, I won't feel confident until Reeves gets in the director's chair and starts directing.
I would care.
Manganiello, or at least the character Deathstroke is in this film --if the report about Terrio's script is correct. Reeves is essentially taking over a live (pre) production. He isn't starting from the beginning. He's essentially jumping on a fast moving train.
