EXCLUSIVE: Details For Savage Hunters

The Bane and Deathstroke film (also referred to as Savage Hunters) is finally picking up steam. Ilya Naishuller has officially been tapped to direct the action project for DC.

From what we're hearing, the story leans into a mentor/mentee dynamic, with Slade Wilson in his late 40s and Bane in his late 20s or early 30s. Multiple DC villains are set to appear, and while Mad Hatter has been rumored, that one's not confirmed yet. There was also gonna be a female villain with bane and deathstroke.

This movie is going to matter more than a lot of people expect, it'll tie into Salvation in some way. If I had to put a timeline on it, I'd say it starts shooting in 2027 and hits theaters in 2028. There's also a chance it films in Canada, the same place rumored for the Salvation portion of Man of Tomorrow.
