In response to a fan’s question about rumors suggesting that “the Waller show” was being reworked into a “Checkmate” show, the creator, Gunn, gave a clear and straightforward answer, “Yes”, indicating that the rumor was indeed false. To eliminate any confusion, another fan asked if “Waller” was still in development, to which Gunn replied again with a simple and definitive affirmation, “Yes”. This exchange aimed to dispel the negative narrative surrounding the project, particularly after Gunn had mentioned at a DC Studios press event in February 2025 that “Waller” had faced “a couple of… setbacks, frankly”.
