RUMOR: DC Comics To Announce Film Plans Through 2018 At Comic-Con
One-time head of Deadline.com, Nikki Finke launched her new website today, and her first scoop is certainly to the interest of comic book fans.
According to the angry Miss Finke, Warner Bros and DC Comics will be announcing a full slate of connected comic book films through 2018 at Comic Con International this Summer.
The rumored line-up, which she stresses is in flux, is as follows:
May 2016 -Â Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
July 2016 -Â Shazam
Christmas 2016 -Â Sandman
May 2017 -Â Justice League
July 2017 -Â Wonder Woman
Christmas 2017 - A Flash/Green Lantern Team-Up Film
May 2018 -Â Man of Steel 2
The thing that makes me give it credibility is the left-field notion of a second Superman solo film in 2018. I don't think a random fanboy spewing predictions would even think of a second Man of Steel film.Accordingly, we should expect to see Cyborg, Flash and Green Lantern in Batman v Superman.
What say you? It’s a very aggressive schedule, but I think if done right, this could be a great thing in theaters alongside the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
