00:21Sources close to the project confirm that, while Daniel's name was linked to the role since November, he was never officially signed on.
00:29Some reports suggest scheduling conflicts played a role while others pointed to the underwhelming reception of choir,
00:35which didn't gain much traction during the awards season.
00:38Regardless, DC is now looking for another actor to lead the film, with the Bear star Jeremy Allen White reportedly being considered.
