Comic Book Resources is reporting that Warner Bros. Discovery has shelved plans for a Wonder Twins movie, first announced back in February.

The announcement comes just a couple of weeks after Isabell May (1883) and KJ Apa (Riverdale) had been cast as Jayna and Zan, respectively. Coupled with the cancellations of DC Comics adaptations Batwoman & Legends of Tomorrow from the CW network, the movie, which was originally headed for HBO Max, perhaps no later than 2023, getting shelved may be a sign WBD may be looking to move DC at some point. DC has been a Warner property since the mid-70's, when WBD was Warner Communications.
Ye scribe's feeling is that the project could still get done, but as an animated movie, not live-action, as had been intended. It's going to have to wait 'til the dust settles.

it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to see the Wonder Twins in their own feature film. Pity.
It seems that WBD is halting much of it's scripted programming now that Warner Brothers has partnered up with Discovery. I get that non-scripted shows are easier and cheaper to produce, but honestly, I would never pay for Discovery Plus on it's own, When HBO Max and Discovery+ inevitably merge into a single service, I'll have to, but honestly, I'm not really interested in the Discovery programs. I'll watch some of them when nothing else is own, but they're nothing that I'd go out of my to watch. Here's hoping that something or someone will help WB out of the slump that it's currently in.
My brother's roommate has HBO Max, and was interested in Discovery+. Now, the two will likely be fused together, but WBD is making some big moves very quickly. Of course, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they accept a pitch to have, say for example, Bugs Bunny host a nature special on Animal Planet......
