Discovery. The latest round of whispers seemed to suggest that the company’s recent Q4 2023 earnings call would give the world an update on whether we’d see this film on the 2024 movie schedule, or if the deletion of director Dave Green’s completed film will stick this time. Well that call has come and gone, and neither…
