It may seem as if the upcoming Man Of Steel<\/strong> sequel which everyone is calling Batman Vs Superman<\/strong> was going to basically be a Justice League movie given that it is looking as if many of the superheroes who make up that group were going to be in the film. But Warners definitely has a full-fledged Justice League film in the works and now we know who will be directing it. Unsurprisingly, it will be Man Of Steel<\/strong> and Batman Vs Superman<\/strong> director Zack Snyder.<\/p>\n

The news comes to us from the Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> who quote Warner Brothers president of worldwide production Greg Silverman as saying that a screenplay for the film is already being developed and that Batman Vs Superman<\/strong> will definitely lead into Justice League<\/strong>. No date has been set for the Justice League film, but given that Batman Vs Superman<\/strong> won’t be in theaters until 2016, Justice League<\/strong> will probably not be released before 2018.<\/p>\n

Presumably, Justice League will see the three superpowered stars of Batman Vs Superman<\/strong> – Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Gail Gadot as Wonder Woman – with a number of other costumed heroes to fight some world-threatening menace. Just this past week<\/a> it was reported that Ray Fisher had joined the film in the smaller role of Cyborg, another superhero who in some iterations of the Justice League story is a founding member. It was also rumored this week<\/a> that Jason Momoa had signed onto the role in an unspecified role.<\/p>\n

Silverman also confirmed that the studio was in the process of developing a number of other films based on corporate sibling DC Comics properties including Metal Men<\/strong>, Shazam<\/strong>, 100 Bullets<\/strong> and Fables<\/strong>. Interestingly, he stated that the studio was not actively developing a Wonder Woman film even though Gadot had been signed to a three-film deal which everyone assumed would cover Batman Vs Superman<\/strong>, Justice League<\/strong> and a solo Wonder Woman<\/strong> film.<\/p>\n

That is not to say that executives at the studio aren’t open to the idea of a solo Wonder Woman<\/strong> film. Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing is quoted by the Journal saying –<\/p>\n

With the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It sounds to me as if the studio is waiting to see if Gadot’s portrayal of the character catches on with audiences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
