The future of the D.C. extended universe
The D.C. films have started to catch up to the on growing success of the Marvel Cinematic universe, so expect alot more D.c films to come out over the next couple of years. Now most people seem to be live that they are rushing it or that Sac Snyder could direct bull crap, but it makes no difference in the fact that this is what is most likely going to happen. Now some of it is confirmed and some is speculation, so don't expect everything you read here to be 100% accurate, also spoilers for man of stellar and Batman v Superman, but its not like I'm gonna go out and say that Batman is a woman ( he's not ) or that Superman dies in the end of Batman V Superman (#spoilers). Anyway let's get into the future of D.C. films.
Wonder Woman
I'm honing to be honest, I don't know much about this film, but I have done some research into it. From what's been released it looks like this film will be set in the final stages of World war 1 as well as the Amazonian native land, looking into the origins of Wonder Woman. It would be weird to a actually watch her be made out of clay and all that, but expect something along those lines. It then looks to lead into her partnership with humans and her battle with probably Ares, which would be cool, but again that has not been confirmed. It looks pretty cool, but its not on my most excited list at the moment.
Justice league.
This is the big one. Ever since the release of Avengers assemble, there have been numerous speculations towards D.C. following suite. It looks really cool, with the addition of all the new hero's, and the story for it seems pretty iron clad. Essentially it is following the mother boxes, seen in the last film, and the expected confrontation between them and Darkseid. This film won't actually show him however, instead focusing on his uncle Steppenwolf, the return of Superman and the joining of the actual team. Not much past this has been said, with a lot of theory into what will happen and who will appear, with some saying Joker, and I hope not, I mean how out of place would that be, him just showing up like Hayden Christiansen in episode 6 of Star Wars, or a Trump victory (#weakDonald). Anyway I'm most excited for this, as it looks to contain a lot of information, spreading out into the extended universe.
Aquaman
This is the most unexpected film on the lost, but could be pulled off. With the addition of Jason Manos to the team as Aquaman, he looks like he could make a solid portrayal of the character, heading towards the darkened new 52 idea of the character. This film will also allow the universe to be expanded apron, looking into aspects such as Atalntis, and connections with Darkseid himself. This seems the most likely, as Aquaman seems like he would have the most connections, living for as long as he has. I would say that the bill an would most likely be Black Manta, as he is the most well known of Aqaman's villains, and could be the best to create some decent action with, maybe played by someone like Jason Statham, or maybe even Tom Hardy. It looks really good, and will show Aquaman in a cool light, after the past year's he's had as an unknown hero.
The Flash
Not much can be said about this film, as it is till 2 to 3 years away, with most of it still in the developmental phase of production. A lot of it will be decided upon depending on the vents in Justice League, maybe looking at his origins before the film, or being a continuation. There are a load of villans to choose from, one being captain Boomerang, as he is already in the universe, and acquainted with Flash from suicide squad, or maybe reverse flash, as that would be really awesome to see.
Shazam
There has only been one confirmed piece of information for this film, and that is who is playing the antagonist. The Rock has been confirmed to play Black Adam in the Shazam film, with the actor who will play Shazam, still to be confirmed. Most likely to be set in ancient Egypt, looking at the creation of both Shazam and Black Adam, the film will probably take place mainly after the events of Justice league, and therefore jump from one time to another, as was done in the comics.
2019 and beyond
There has been many speculations and pans for post 2019. The main one being the Cyborg film taking place after the events of the other ones, a Green Lantern film, which I am looking forward to a lot, and another suicide squad film. Green Lantern corps looks good from what has been said, looking more upon the corps rather than a single green lantern. Also it is going to be a John Stuart Green Lantern, which will be great. Suicide squad looks unlikely hiwever, as it would be hard to get another one out, after the mixed response of the other one, also would end being very similar to the first one as it is. Cyborg looks good, again very little has been said on that one.
Batman
Ben Affleck has been confirmed to be directing himself in his own Batman film. There has been leaked cottage of the villain, that being deathstroke, which is odd, as he is more likely a teen titans villain rather than Batman. Of course for this film to be a fan success a lot of things have to be in place. 1- there should be some sort of Robin in place at this pint, either Tim Drake or Damian Wayne, as it has been sub-confirmed that Jason Todd has happened, so would be after these events. This would create a good atmosphere for the film as it has been 20 years or so since we last saw him on the big screen, and 50 years since the last good one. 2. Nightwing has to appear, as Dick Grayson will most likely be in the universe at this point, and seeing as Deathstroke is one of his rogues, he has to come and sort him out, and finally Joker has to appear. I know their is a lot of hate for this Jared Leto version, with a lot of fans saying ' he didn't kill us, he just hurt us, really, really bad' but Deathstroke cannot carry this film on his own. He has only been a major bill an in Arrow, so would need something to back him up in the film.
Man of steel 2
Pure speculation, but could be good. If we were given a villain such as Brainiac or Bizarro the film could be pulled off, if Superman didn't kill him off ,AGAIN. Anyway that's all I got on this topic. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading. Comment on your most anticipated D.C. film coming up brlow.
