The Movies DC May Be Considering For A 2017 Shoot After Aquaman
Not counting Wonder Woman and Justice League,
which are being released later this year, Warner Bros has 15 DC movies
in various stages of development. The next one out the gate after Justice League is Aquaman, and it was announced today
that the underwater hero's solo adventure will now drop on December 21,
2018. Aquaman is getting ready to shoot in a few months, but besides
that movie, DC doesn't have any other shoot planned later this year.
Yet. New information suggests they may be gearing up to launch another
production for later in 2017.
Acknowledging how the Batman movie will now likely shoot in 2018, Variety reporter Justin Kroll tweeted out that the following five movies are being considered for a 2017 shoot.
Of the five movies being reported, I'd say that Gotham City Sirens
stands the strongest chance of starting production in 2017. Christina
Hodson has been working on the screenplay, David Ayer is handling
directing duties following his work on Suicide Squad and Margot Robbie
will reprise Harley Quinn. It has enough pieces in place that it's
plausible shooting could begin in the summer or fall. Then there's Suicide Squad 2, which has reportedly found a new screenwriter
and searching for a new director. Since the first Squad adventure came
out last year, Warner Bros may want to release a sequel sooner rather
than later.
So which movie is least likely to start production in 2017? That would probably be The Flash.
For a long time that movie was expected to come out on March 23, 2018,
but with Rick Famuyiwa departing as director last October (a job that
Seth Grahame-Smith left as well), the movie was put on hold and there's
been no word on how the Scarlet Speedster's solo adventure is
progressing other than that King Arthur: Legend of the Sword writer Joby Harold is re-writing the script. It's arguably the least ready to get a shoot going in just a couple months. As for the others, Green Lantern Corps has David Goyer and Justin Rhodes writing the script, while Dark Universe has Doug Liman attached to direct.
