So here it is the news we have ALL been waiting for, for months now, Warner Bros & DC's lineup for them to try take on the comic film behemoths Marvel. Up to now all we have had was release dates for nine untitled films, now we have TITLES!
Anyway, enough beating around the bush, here is the official press release;
As part of his presentation, Tsujihara announced a bold
expansion of the industry's broadest theatrical slate, built around the
largest, most important global franchises. Warner Bros. Pictures will
release three LEGO-branded films over the next four years, building upon
the enormous success of this year's "The LEGO Movie" ($468 million
worldwide box office), starting with "Ninjago" in 2016, directed by
Charlie Bean and produced by Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Phil Lord and Chris
Miller. Batman will take a star turn in "The LEGO Batman Movie" in 2017,
directed by Chris McKay, and the sequel, "The LEGO Movie 2," will debut
in 2018.
The Studio will release three pictures, in 2016, 2018 and
2020, based on best-selling author J.K. Rowling's original story and
screenwriting debut, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Set in
an extension of her familiar wizarding world, featuring magical
creatures and characters inspired by Harry Potter's Hogwarts textbook
and its fictitious author, Newt Scamander, "Fantastic Beasts" will be
directed by David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies,
and reunite the filmmaking team of David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve
Kloves and Lionel Wigram.
And, in a massive expansion of the Studio's DC
Entertainment-branded content, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema
will release a slate of at least 10 movies--as well as stand-alone
Batman and Superman films--from 2016 through 2020 that expands this
prized universe of characters:
- "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," directed by Zack Snyder (2016)
- "Suicide Squad," directed by David Ayer (2016)
- "Wonder Woman," starring Gal Gadot (2017)
- "Justice League Part One," directed by Zack Snyder, with Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill and Amy Adams reprising their roles (2017)
- "The Flash," starring Ezra Miller (2018)
- "Aquaman," starring Jason Momoa (2018)
- "Shazam" (2019)
- "Justice League Part Two," directed by Zack Snyder (2019)
- "Cyborg," starring Ray Fisher (2020)
- "Green Lantern" (2020)
