I doubt Ray Fisher will ever work again tbh. 

 

John Boyega might not get much Hollywood work either for similar reasons.

[Alex W.]

Apparently The Flash is going to be Affleck's last role as the DCEU's Batman, with Michael Keaton taking over the role for all subsequent pictures. Pattinson will continue to play The Batman in the standalone, non-DCEU series.

 

Which sounds ludicrous enough to actually be true?

[Broker]

I don’t know, that sounds like quite a good decision, which wouldn’t be in keeping with the D.C. decision making process so far.

I think they may have turned a corner, from what I read they are also done with Synder after this HBO supercut is done with.

[Alex W.]

Well that didn’t last long, apparently what the original source meant was that Keaton is making a cameo as Batman in the new Flash movie and that’s all.

[JohnC]

It's easy to confuse "cameo" and "completely taking over".

[JohnC]

A picture originally in BvS, revealed by Snyder. When Jenkins came along for Wonder Woman, she wanted it changed. She didn’t think WW clutching several severed heads was a look she wanted.

They're adding Supergirl to the roster. She will debut in The Flash. They've cast a US born Columbian actress, Sasha Calle, from The Young and The Restless. Which I used to think was a fictional show.

[Broker]

I doubt that will go well, she’s even harder to write than superman as she’s not even got the krytonite weakness to fall back on.

Whedon, by all accounts, inspired pretty decent loyalty and respect from actors he worked with in the past

 

Well, that didn't age well.

Upcoming projects image from an AT&T investor presentation. Some DCEU, some Arrowverse, some animation.

 

Zatanna was rumoured to be a possibility but now confirmed for HBO Max. Seems unclear if it's a movie or TV show, but thought most likely to be the latter. The Batgirl movie will also be for HBO Max. I have no idea WTF Batwheels is. I'm just imagining a cartoon featuring anthropomorphic cars as Batman characters, but I'm probably wrong... I don't know about DMZ and it's super exciting logo either.

 

[Alex W.]

League of Super-Pets is the sort of exciting concept Marvel won’t give you.

 

I am not being sarcastic.

[Nick R]

Pennyworth isn't on that grid!  What's happening to Pennyworth? Supergirl is on there even though it's ending... is Pennyworth ending too? I DEMAND TO KNOW!

 

#SavePennyworth

#RestoreThePennyworthVerse

[JohnC]

Looks like nothing has been decided, publicly at least, for Pennyworth. But I think it's absence from that grid is for other reasons. All that stuff seems to be for WB or things WB are directly part of. Pennyworth is an Epix show and they have nothing to do with WB, apart from WB making the show for them.

[Nick R]

Yeah, that's probably why the Netflix Sandman series isn't on there either.

Let's just hope they don't decide to make it all serious with grimdark super-pets....

[Alex W.]

Snyderverse Superman does seem like the sort of guy who would give a dog confusing, dangerous powers using alien machines and then neglect it.

[Gambit]

By the time this Shazam sequel starts filming they'll need to recast all the kids because they'll be in their 20's.

[JohnC]

Helen Mirren has signed onto the Shazam! sequel. She's playing the villain Hespera, daughter of Atlas.

[Nick R]

Pierce Brosnan has been cast to play Dr Fate in the Black Adam movie:

 

Reported by THR and confirmed by DC:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/black-adam-pierce-brosnan-to-play-dc-hero-dr-fate-opposite-dwayne-johnson-exclusive

 

https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2021/03/24/pierce-brosnan-joins-the-cast-of-black-adam-as-doctor-fate

 

He's a magic character, broadly equivalent to Marvel's Dr Strange (when they did the DC Vs Marvel/Amalgam universe crossover in the '90s, the two characters were combined as Dr Strangefate).

 

He also has complicated and confusing links to Hawkman (who is going to be played by Aldis Hodge in Black Adam), and his relatives play an important role as one of the few direct links to the DC universe in Sandman.

[SeanR]

Yeah, I can’t wait to see him polishing dr.fates helmet...

[JohnC]

ALL the screens

Two movies announced last year, The Trench and New Gods, have been axed.

[Nick R]

 

From here.

[Alex W.]

Self-contradictory multiverse is kind of their brand?

Not a good look when they're both films by POC as well in this climate.

[SaintAnselm]

I have a real bad feeling with the cancellation of these two films and some of the good reviews the Synder cut received, DC are going to let him direct more films in their universe.

[Alex W.]

Or they could just as easily read it as “DC wasn’t where the money is, Zack Snyder was.” If the next slate of DC comics adaptations are $150m standalones and VDZS gets his billion dollar Ayn Rand franchise we’ll have our answer.
