In a Variety exclusive, it was revealed that Doug Liman has been tapped to direct an adaptation of Dark Universe, also known as Justice League Dark, for Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Originally slated to be directed by Del Toro when it was previously in development, this particular project has been in its own little proverbial development hell. With Doug Liman taking over directing for Dark Universe, it has also been revealed that he has left the production of Gambit.

Not much has been revealed about the plot yet since the movie is still very much in the early stages of production, but it is safe to say that it will definitely revolve around the Justice League Dark team consisting of Constantine, Zatanna, Etrigan the Demon, Swamp Thing, and Deadman. The only characters we’ve seen that have been adapted to a live-action version have been Constantine, Swamp Thing, and a brief Smallville appearance by Zatanna.

It’ll be interesting to see how this film turns out considering Warner Bros. has a lot riding on the success of their current line up of DC films and they are adapting a property that seldom people have heard of. The majority of people know who the Justice League is, but that cannot be said for the darker counterpart of the team. There may be some people who know who Constantine is, but I cannot honestly say whether or not people will have heard of the remaining team members. Until then, all we can do is watch and wait for anymore information to come out.
