‘Justice League’ is coming May 2017
Sources at Nikki Finke claim they know what is coming up at this years Comic Con. They claim they know the roadmap and release dates for future DC films. They are as follows:
- May 2016 – Batman v Superman
- July 2016 – Shazam
- Xmas 2016 – Sandman
- May 2017 – Justice League
- July 2017 – Wonder Woman
- Xmas 2017 – Flash and Green Lantern team-up
- May 2018 – Man Of Steel 2
There has also been talk of a Metal Men and Suicide Squad movie for 2016 though the plug got pulled on that project.
Nikki Finke also claim the Batman v Superman film was delayed because Warner Bros want to use the film as a launch pad for the DC universe.
Like Marvel’s The Avengers, there will be cameos of superheroes for future installments. The cameos will include the already known Cyborg and Flash. Green Lantern may be introduced. And Aquaman will be seen in the Justice League movie. Problem is, Warner Bros Pictures was still negotiating with the actors for those cameos and future roles, meaning major contracts for multiple JL/character films to follow. The studio didn’t want to move forward until they had more of this secure so they held off starting production for a few months. Seemingly simple reason, but the implications are pretty darn huge.
