It doesn’t look like Zatanna will be making its way out of development hell anytime soon.For many years, there have been various attempts to get a movie made based on DC’s Zatanna, but the project has yet to come to be. The most recent project was for a live-action feature film written by Emerald Fennell, who won an Oscar for her Promising Young Woman screenplay. In 2021, it was reported that Fennell would write Zatanna, a theatrical film set in the DCEU. Before the regime change at DC Studios, there were rumors that the project was scrapped, and the subsequent demise of the DCEU had fans suspecting that Zatanna was dead in the water. Fennell officially confirmed this to be the case in a new interview with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.Fennell continued, “I’m definitely interested in, ‘Oh, okay, I don’t know a huge amount about the superhero genre. It’s not a genre that I naturally gravitate towards.’ So, I was like, ’Okay, well, I’d love to [know] how does one make a movie like that for people like me, who maybe don’t know so much, and wouldn’t necessarily buy a ticket the first time around.’ So, it’s sort of that kind of thing. I’m like, ‘Okay, this is interesting.’ And Zatanna is just a really, really cool character.”
