“I have been producing features for first- and second-timers in Spain and Latin America, and I would to do the same here,” said Del Toro “If there is a window and an opportunity, I could end up directing but right now, I am only producing.”
Speaking about Deadman, Del Toro said “(Deadman) has great supernatural elements and is one of the more off-kilter superheroes. What I like is that it has some of the canon of horror films but it has a quest and the heroics in the more traditional superhero roots. It’s a great combination that is not very common to superheroes.”
