“Batgirl” star Leslie Grace is speaking out after Warner Bros. canceled the release of her superhero film after it already wrapped filming.
The actress, 28, told Variety in an article published Monday that she didn’t find out the news until an article published about it online.
“I found out like the rest of you,” she said. “And then my phone just started blowing up.”
