In a profile on the upcoming plans for the world of DC at Warner Bros. Discovery, it was noted that J.J. Abrams’ planned Constantine and Zatanna — the latter of which was set to be written by Promising Young Woman writer/director Emerald Fennell — projects were scrapped at HBO Max. The report mentions that both projects are now being shopped to other streamers, although it’s currently unknown whether or not they will land anywhere.
As for Abrams, THR notes that he’s still in talks with DC about other projects, but nothing is concrete as of yet. The move is another in a long line of shifts and slashing of projects happening behind the scenes at Warner Bros. Discovery. As the company looks to move back into the world of big, theatrical films, it’s unknown just what the future holds for DC as a whole on its streaming services.

Created by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, Zatanna Zatara made her first appearance in the Hawkman comic books in November 1964. She is the daughter of a famous stage magician named Giovanni Zatara, who debuted during the Golden Age of Comics. Naturally, Zatanna inherited his father’s magical powers and career as a professional stage magician. Some of her cool powers are the ability to control the elements, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, and manipulation of reality.
