Justice League. A lot of people hated it. Some people enjoyed it. There’s a solid faction of hardcore DC fans that want a Snyder cut of the film.
Time to let the past die, and try to salvage the momentum that Wonder Woman had, because things are looking bright for DC Films.
- Marvel Studios isnt showing anything at Comic Con this year, so this is Warner Bros summer to really show off and encapsulate buzz for Aquaman, Shazam!, and Wonder Woman: 1984
- Oh yeah, both Geoff Johns and Patty Jenkins have posted this
The rumored title for Wonder Woman 2 is “Wonder Woman: 1984.” I like that it’s set in the past, possibly have to do with the Cold War or the decolonization of South Africa. Being that Cheetah is confirmed as the villain, my guess is the later, but there’s been different versions and backstories of Cheetah, so it’s up in the air.
Pedro Pascal is rumored to appear as Doctor Fate in the movie, which im 100% loving that casting choice if true
Also, Gal Gadot possibly having permed hair and wearing a shoulder padded jacket? YES PLEASE
- James Wan posted today that the first Aquaman trailer is coming soon. My bet is we’ll get a teaser this month, and followed by the actual trailer next month that will be shown at Hall H in Comic Con.
Nothing but positvity coming from that front, and the film scored high on it’s test screening a few months ago. December can’t come soon enough.
- Shazam! is shaping up good too, and I’m glad they are sticking to the comic book hooded look for Captain Marvel. And there things that are pointing towards a Superman appearance.
It’s clear Warner Bros does not have an overarching story ala MCU, so they just need to make good movies. That’s all I want. I don’t need things to always connect and set up. I think that’s why “Expanded Universe” has stuck. At this point, unless WB reboots and starts a brand new DC cinematic universe, there’s no way they can compete on the MCU’s level. Just make good movies! I have a feeling the next three films will be solid at the least.
