Joe Manganiello had a promising career in the DCEU when he starred as Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke inJustice League. When Zack Snyder’s empire crumbled, the actor’s career went down with it. It also didn’t help that James Gunn, his friend and the head of DC Studios, advised him against reprising the role.
Despite the sad news, there’s always a silver lining. When one door closes, another one opens, and it seems that opportunity is now. Manganiello is reportedly joiningOne Piece, one of the massive franchises in mainstream media.

Along with the death of DCEU came the demise of Manganiello’s career as Deathstroke. However, Gunn previously teased the possibility of reviving the villain in DC Universe, but so far, no concrete plans have been announced. The actor also gave up on it as per his response viaComingSoon: “No, I let that go a while ago.”
