The highly anticipated Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was one of the most talked about movies of 2016. Unfortunately, the movie was met with mixed reviews and was a box office disappointment. Now, Akiva Goldsman, one of the producers of the movie, has opened up about the scrapped plans for the movie.
In an interview with Collider, Goldsman revealed that the original plan for the movie was to have a much darker tone. He said that the original script was “very, very dark” and that it was “a much more existential crisis kind of movie.” He also said that the movie was originally going to be “a much more serious, almost operatic” take on the characters.
Goldsman also revealed that the original plan was to have a much longer movie. He said that the original script was “three hours and change” and that it was “a much more sprawling movie.” He also said that the movie was originally going to have a much bigger scope and would have featured more characters from the DC universe.
Goldsman also revealed that the original plan was to have a much more complex story. He said that the original script was “very, very complicated” and that it was “a much more complicated story.” He also said that the movie was originally going to have a much more “mythic” feel to it.
Unfortunately, the original plans for the movie were scrapped due to studio interference. Goldsman said that the studio wanted a “more commercial” movie and that they wanted to “streamline” the story. He also said that the studio wanted to make the movie “more accessible” to a wider audience.
Overall, it’s clear that the original plans for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice were much different than what we got. It’s a shame that the studio interfered and changed the movie so much, as it could have been a much better movie. Hopefully, the future DC movies will be more faithful to the original plans.
