Marvel might be kicking into high-gear with Avengers: Infinity War and its subsequent films, but DC has been having some major troubles following up Justice League. Aquaman premieres this December, with Wonder Woman 2 a year from then, but the rest of the DCEU's plan seems to be up in the air, with constant director and writer changes stifling their progress.





The spinoff to Suicide Squad starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn has not only gone through multiple name changes, but multiple directors. Now only referred to as an, " untitled girl gang movie," the Harley Quinn solo film has landed its director with Cathy Yan.

Warner Bros. ​revealed Yan " impressed the studio with her presentation," and added Robbie insisted the film be helmed by a female director. If the plan for Yan to direct actually goes through, she will be the first Asian woman to ever direct a comic book movie.

Rumored to be based off of Birds of Prey or Gotham City Sirens, the untitled film will be written by Batgirl ​pen Christina Hodson, another DC film with setbacks, the biggest being it has no director currently attached to the project. Ben Affleck's solo Batman film has also gone through a seemingly endless number of revisions, to the point where Affleck might not even be playing the Caped Crusader.





​Deadline remains firm the untitled Harley Quinn solo film is set to start filming sometime at either the end of the year or early 2019. The film has been announced and in production since 2016.
