The movie, based on DC Comics characters, was in the final stages of editing. It won’t be released in theaters or on the company’s HBO Max streaming service, Variety and Deadline reported Tuesday. Variety said the film cost $90 million to make. Warner Bros. didn’t respond to requests for comment. The movie’s casting had drawn plaudits for its diversity, with a person of color in the lead role — still a rarity in a superhero movie. Grace is of Dominican heritage. It also was set to feature a transgender character, played by Ivory Aquino.
