in a conference call this morning Warner Bros CEO Kevin Tsujihara announced a bunch of DC movies which will be released between 2016 and 2020 and also a bunch of actors who will star in those movies.
Here's what it was announced:
March 2016, Batman v Superman starring Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman
2016 Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer. It was also announced that WB is in talks with big actors to star in the movie. This could potentially be the second villain centered movie in 2016 if the Sinister Six manage to hit their release date
2017 Wonder Woman Gal Gadot will get her own standalone movie before joining forces with the Justice League.
2017 Justice League part I directed by Zach Snyder. Justice League will see the official assemble of the team who according to recent rumors will fight Braniac2018 Aquaman with Jason Momoa starring as the king of the Seven Seas. Jason Momoa was confirmed as Aquaman and he will probably be introduced in Batman v Superman and Justice League before getting his own solo film
2018 The Flash will hit theaters starring Ezra Miller This was certainly the most shocking announcement. Ezra Miller will be the Flash and will get his own solo movie. This wipes away every possibility of seeing Grant Gustin and Stephen Amell in the cinematic Universe. It is still unclear whether Ezra will play Barry Allen, Wally West or Jay Garrick. I am not particularly happy with this decision, I don't see him as being as a good fit to play any superhero.
2019 Shazam We already know that the Rock will play Black Adam, no words were said as to the actors who will play Billy Batson and Shazam2019 Justice League Part II Zach Snyder will be back to direct also the second instalment of the Justice League
2020 Cyborg. It will start Ray Fisher as Victor Stone and this is probably the least expected of the entire slate announced
2020 Green Lantern. It will be a reboot. This is all we know so far, so sorry to those who wanted Ryan Reynolds back and yay for those who hated him.
As you saw, no Batman and no Superman solo films were announced. However we have to keep in mind that between 2016 and 2019 we'll get to see them three times in Batman v Superman, Justice League Part I & II so we don't have a lot to complain about. Also I always contended that once Batman joined the Justice League he should not have gotten anymore solo films because let's face it he's the weakest of them all and therefore you cannot have him face a crazy villain who threatens to blow up the city and not have some of his friends save the day.
Anyway, what do you think of this announcement? Are you excited? Do you think that with all these superhero movie announced we will get to an oversaturation of the genre?
