Big seven? You’ll be lucky to get the big five.
El Mayimbe over at Latino Review says he has exclusive scoop on what heroes will make up the film version of the Justice League in 2015:
- Superman
- Batman
- Wonder Woman
- Green Lantern
- The Flash
Now would be the time when we point out, as we always do, that El Mayimbe is not always accurate. But this line-up certainly does make sense. You have DC’s “trinity” with Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, you have a DC hero who already received his own film in Green Lantern, and you have a hero who has had his own TV show and has had a film in development for years in The Flash. There’s a lot of recognition by the casual fan to be had there.
For those of you hoping that Martian Manhunter and/or Aquaman would be in the cast, well, you might get one or both of the characters in a cameo. And Hawkman fans? El Mayimbe’s source says there is a slight chance, a slight chance, that the Winged Warrior will also get a cameo.
Again, this is all rumor. The project doesn’t even have a director yet. So, take this all with a big grain of salt.
