Leslie Grace shuts down DC's claims that Batgirl was 'unreleasable'

Leslie Grace has weighed in on the cancelation of DC’s Batgirl and responded to one of its CEO’s claims that the film was “unreleasable.”

Back in August, the Grace-led film was scrapped by Warner Bros. Discovery without any explanations after nearly being finished.

During the latest announcement of DC’s slate of upcoming movies helmed by its new co-CEOs Peter Safran and James Gunn, the former told a crew of journalists that the superhero film was not releasable.

However, in an interview with Variety, the 28-year-old actress revealed that she was able to watch one of the test runs of the film and that it was "incredible."

“The film that I got to see — the scenes that were there — was incredible,” she said. “There was definitely potential for a good film, in my opinion.”

Grace noted that while the film was “nothing short” of having a few obstacles, they were able to deliver "what we knew we wanted to deliver for this film,” crediting it to the "incredible crew."
