Warner Bros. Announces 10 DC Movies, 3 Lego Movies and 3 'Harry Potter' Spinoffs
Warner Bros. Announces 10 DC Movies, 3 Lego Movies and 3 'Harry Potter' Spinoffs
Congratulations, Marvel: you now have a fully-fledged superhero competitor. Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsuijihara announced the studio’s plans for its DC Entertainment properties this morning, naming ten DC movies between 2016 and 2020, in addition to three Harry Potter spin-offs and three Lego movies. In August, Warners announced dates for nine untitled DC releases for those years at the same time as it moved Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from May 2016 to March that year in order to avoid a showdown with Marvel's Captain America 3. Some of the projects had been rumored and quasi-announced (Dwayne Johnson confirmed the existence of a Shazam project when he announced that he would be playing Black Adam last month, for example), but today's announcement is the first time all 10 movies have been named. Read more 'Batman V Superman': First Official Superman Image Released Those 10 DC movies named are: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice directed by Zack Snyder (2016) Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer (2016) Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot (2017) Justice League Part One directed by Snyder, with Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Amy Adams reprising their roles (2017) The Flash starring Ezra Miller (2018) Aquaman starring Jason Momoa (2018) Shazam (2019) Justice League Part Two directed by Zack Snyder (2019) Cyborg starring Ray Fisher (2020) Green Lantern (2020) In a press release following Tuijhara’s announcement, Warners noted that the DC slate consisted of “at least” these 10 movies, “as well as standalone Batman and Superman films.” It's worth noting that each of the solo movies feature characters who are currently members of the comic book incarnation of the Justice League, although whether or not the same will be true in their movie incarnations remains unknown (For example, Gal Gadot isn't listed as appearing in the Justice League movie, interestingly enough, but Amy Adams' Lois Lane is). Outside of the DC properties, the studio will also further explore J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter mythology with three movies to be released in 2016, 2018 and 2020 based on her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them novella. The first movie, which features Rowling’s screenwriting debut, will be directed by Potter veteran David Yates. Warners’ Lego plans include three releases over the next four years, starting with the Charlie Bean-directed Ninjago in 2016, followed by The Lego Batman Movie in 2017 (as exclusively revealed by THR last week) and The Lego Movie 2 in 2018. |

Ugh. I know. It sucks how they force you to watch them and shit.
Why can't I just watch the movies I want to watch, and avoid the films that I don't want to watch? I hate this ****ing country. We need more freedom, people. George Washington didn't sail the Delaware for this bullshit. |

It's becoming all about the Chinese market. The American market is still important but if you want a BILLION out of a movie, you have to do well in China. The Chinese love their big budget Hollywood super hero movies.
It costs a Chinese worker 2 days pay to go to an American super hero movie. More and more movies will cater to the Chinese. You have 650 Million Chinese movie goers. And almost everyone wants to see these big budget super hero movies. Do that math.

Aquaman starring Jason Momoa (2018)
Seriously?! I'm a fan of Khal Drogo, but Aquaman?!

Those kinda characters are like mashed potatoes. They go great as a side order with a juicy steak. But you don't throw them on a plate as your main dish and call it a meal.

I'm starting to look at these franchises like Downton Abbey or Boardwalk Empire. Heard they were awesome, but damned if I'm gonna catch up on 5 seasons on that shit.

You could have made the same "who gives a shit" argument about Captain America, Thor, or Guardians of the Galaxy. Well written movies create their own audience. Not that DC needs even write them well. DC and Marvel superhero movies are automatic cash cows. Hopefully they're handled well. I'm not optimistic, but I've been proven wrong before. |

Gadot was a bargain bin actress for WW, The kid who's going to play The Flash will either have to dye his hair blond or red, because he's totally ethnic looking and Momoa as Arthur?
