Brendan Fraser is sharing his thoughts about the future of Leslie Grace’s Batgirl, following the cancellation of the film, after it was ready to be released. The Hollywood star, who played the villainous Firefly, described the situation as “tragic” and praised the actress for her lead role as the heroine.
“It doesn’t engender trust among filmmakers and the studio. Leslie Grace was fantastic. She’s a dynamo, just a spot-on performer. Everything that we shot was real and exciting and just the antithesis of doing a straightforward digital all green screen thing,” he explained.

It was a big-budget movie, but one that was just stripped down to the essentials.”
‘The Whale’ director Darren Aronofskt, also agreed with Fraser, declaring that the cancellation was definitely “a disappointment for all the fans,” confessing that the film “felt real and exciting.”

“I feel blessed to have worked among absolute greats and forged relationships for a lifetime in the process! To every Batgirl fan – THANK YOU for the love and belief, allowing me to take on the cape and become, as Babs said best, ‘my own damn hero!’ Batgirl for life!” she wrote.
