In the first big bold move by the new boses at DC, Patty Jenkins has been told that her treatment for Wonder Woman 3 does not fit the new vision for the DC Universe. While its not an outright cut after the poor performance of WW2 and ongoing problems and financial blow outs at WB its looking unlikely that Jenkins or Gal Gadot will be back.
Moreover James Gunn and Pete Sanfran have promised that there will be only One DC Universe and many are expecting that means they’ll be wanting to clear out all the lingering remants of the Snyderverse and the looming shadow of Dwayne Johnsons Black Adam too. Breakdowns in negotiations with Henry Cavill are likely symptoms of that since The Rock has his fingers all over that Super pie.
Gunn and Safran said in a joint statement that they wanted to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equalled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent.
Its rumoured that Gunn will be focussing on Amanda Waller as the lynchpin for the new DC Universe and that the One vision will go across all media including Animation.
so what do you’ll think? will Gunn be a new broom that renews and rebuilds the DC Cinematic presence or is it sign of ongoing doom…
The Suicide Squad bombed.
In my opinion it WAS NOT because it got streamed...but because it sucked. It's the WORST Superhero Movie I've seen in the past 20 years.
A few hardcore fans overlooked the travesty that it was and praise it to high heaven, while everyone else passed the word on that this movie was really THAT BAD. IT REALLY WAS bad.
Somebody doesn't realize this.
So, instead, they take the guy who had one of the worst bombs for a Superhero movie in the past 10 years and put him in charge?
This looks like it's going well already...
If they decide to boot Cavill...I think they will lose a LOT of us as viewers.
Gunn did well with GotG...but he sucks with DC thus far from what I've seen.
If they thought Snyder was bad news...everything I've seen from Gunn in the DC looks like it could be worse.
Luckily I have nothing invested in that company. It looks like they are making bad decisions and will continue to make bad decisions. I don't see this going well right now.
We'll see though.
PS: Just read an update. These guys are BAD PR right now. It's REALLY BAD from what I've heard.
One item that's kind of upset (light word) people, they cancelled the Michael Keaton movie. Not just said they were open to rewrites, flat out cancelled him. The movie...Batman Beyond.
This was a STUPID move to hire this guy from what I'm seeing right now. Gunn is going to KILL DC movies for a Decade.
If they don't do something quick the bad PR is going to BE REALLY bad I think. The lost Patty, They seem to be killing Cavill, and they killed Keaton...I haven't heard a SINGLE GOOD idea that they have yet.
