Leslie Grace Shares Behind-The-Scenes Footage From Axed ‘Batgirl’ Film On TikTok: ‘I Couldn’t Resist’

Imagine being an actor cast in the leading role in a high-profile, big-budget superhero movie, and then film and wrap production — only to have the completed movie shelved by the studio under murky circumstances in the midst of a corporate shuffle.

That’s exactly what happened to Leslie Grace when Warner Bros. decided not to release “Batgirl”, in which she plays the titular costumed crimefighter in what had been a hugely anticipated release.

On Saturday, Grace apparently went rogue by posting behind-the-scenes footage from the flick in a brief 15-second TikTok video, which had originally been scheduled to debut on HBO Max.

According to reports, “Batgirl” was a casualty of the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery, with the $90-million movie axed so that the newly merged company can receive a tax break.
