Even Emerald Fennell, the acclaimed writer-director of 'Promising Young Woman', admits that her script for a Zatanna movie was too unconventional for the superhero genre. In a recent interview, Fennell revealed that she was struggling to find an emotional connection to the character, which led to a script that was 'demented' and 'really dark'. She explained that her goal was to create a superhero movie that resonated with her on a personal level, but it seems she may have pushed the boundaries too far. Created in 1964 by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson, Zatanna has always been a unique character, blending elements of magic and philosophy. However, despite her intriguing concept, every attempt to bring her to the big screen has failed, including Fennell's and Guillermo Del Toro's proposed projects. But here's where it gets controversial... Fennell's approach to Zatanna was likely too experimental, and her personal struggles with the character may have been reflected in the script. While some may argue that this level of creativity is necessary for pushing the boundaries of the genre, others may feel that it missed the mark. So, what do you think? Is pushing the boundaries of superhero movies a good thing, or does it sometimes go too far? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
