2023 Superhero Movie Reportedly Had 45 Writers Involved With Script
An upcoming superhero film for 2023 reportedly had 45 screenwriters involved in shaping the script. 2023 is turning out to be a major year for superhero movies, as ten are on the books for a theatrical release.

Deadline never mentioned the film by name, but it notes that it is basically impossible for all 45 writers to get credits on the finished film. This is an extreme example, but the report says having up to 20 writers on a project has become a common practice among these types of blockbuster movies.
