The leading lady of the canceled Batgirl movie claimed there were "obstacles" encountered while filming in Glasgow.
The announcement that Warner Bros. had decided not to release the movie, according to US actress Leslie Grace, was like "deflating a balloon.".
However, she acknowledged that there were a number of issues with the shoot in an interview with US trade publication Variety.
Half of the shoot took place at night in Scotland, where it rained nonstop, she claimed.
"So there were challenges, but in the end, thanks to the amazing crew, nothing ever stood in the way of us completing what we had planned to do for this movie. ".
"Even though I would have loved to share that with the rest of the world, nothing can take away from us that experience," she continued. ".
Just months before it was scheduled for release, the abrupt decision to cancel the film was made in August of last year.
Brendan Fraser, Michael Keaton, and JK Simmons were among the actors who appeared in the entirely Scottish-shot movie.
Grace revealed to Variety that she had learned the news "like the rest of you" - by reading news articles.
Then, she continued, "my phone just started blowing up.".
The movie Batgirl reportedly cost around 70 million dollars (£57.6m), and its release date was set for late 2022. However, its release was reportedly cancelled due to subpar screen tests.
Set builders changed the shop fronts and police cars in Glasgow's Trongate neighborhood in January of last year to resemble Gotham City for the production.
The daughter of Gotham Police Commissioner Jim Gordon, Barbara Gordon, was to be the subject of the movie.
Following the announcement, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah released a statement online in which they expressed their shock and sadness over the news and expressed their wish for fans to have the "opportunity to see and embrace the final film themselves.".
According to Fraser, who was nominated for best actor at the 91st Academy Awards for his work in The Whale, the news about Batgirl came as a "gut punch.".
A whole generation of young girls will have to wait longer to see a Batgirl and exclaim, "Hey, she looks like me," according to the actor, who called the Warner Bros. decision the most "lamentable" aspect. " .
A spokesman for Warner Bros said the decision to cancel Batgirl reflected a "strategic shift" with respect to the DC universe and HMB Max.
"This decision is not a reflection on Leslie Grace's performance," he continued. "She is an incredibly talented actor."
