Before being unexpectedly cancelled, ‘Batgirl’ promised to be another step towards success in the career of directors Adil El Arbi and Billal Fallah.
The filmmakers had already collaborated on ‘Bad Boys Forever‘ and in the series of ‘Ms. Marvel‘, which received a lot of praise from the public.
As a result, the cancellation of ‘Batgirl’ it was a tremendous shock… Mainly for El Arbiwho was celebrating his wedding when he heard the news.
The ceremony took place four days ago, but Deadline reported that he was with his wife in Morocco, along with fallahwhen they were alerted.
This leaves the director duo with no confirmed future work, as they have been replaced by Mark Molloy in the direction of ‘Heavy Duty Cop 4‘.
Now we can only hope that the filmmakers return to work with the marvel studios in new seasons ‘Mrs. Marvel‘ or any other project.
