Actor speaks after the film, shot entirely in Glasgow on a $90m budget, was dropped from all platforms
Leslie Grace, the star of Warner Bros’ Batgirl film, has spoken out following the studio’s decision to cancel the release of the movie across all platforms.
Grace, 27, rose to fame in the big-screen adaptation of In the Heights and would have been a rare Latina actor to headline a superhero film. Some have also suggested that the studio was unhappy with the scope of the film, which had been conceived for HBO Max, rather than matching its recent blockbusters.
“There’s crazy stunts, crazy drops,” Grace added. “She’s a biker chick, so you’re going to see her do a bunch of badassery … There were a lot of long days, but it was so worth it.” The city council believes the producers honoured the first two parts of the deal, but is unsure about the third. It estimates 450 Glasgow-based crew and 1300 other Scottish creatives and technicians, as well as other security staff and sub-contractors, had work from the production.
