Marvel planned out the story for each of the characters carefully, so that each movie references events from previous movies, even when switching to a new character. Iron Man 3 for example, is all about Tony's trauma from the events during The Avengers. But Tony doesn't become a different character in Captain America Civil War, or the next Avengers film. These movies can stand on their own, but they also all follow the same canon.In comparison, did Justice League acknowledge any of the events from Wonder Woman 84? No, it didn't. It acted like Diana had abandoned the world for decades and never gotten over her lost lover. If you're going to put these characters in a movie together, they have to still be the same characters canonically. Otherwise you get just a giant mess. Remember how Universal tried and failed to launch their dark universe with the Tom Cruise lead The Mummy movie? Yeah, that project was dead on arrival, because The Mummy was such a stinker. They had dozens of other Universal monsters cast already! Guess all that is in the trashcan now. I wonder if contracts had already been signed?DC should just focus on making good movies based on their properties. Their 2nd attempt at a Suicide Squad movie is clever, because Margot Robbie is great as Harley Quinn, and that property has potential if done right. Letting James Gunn have a go at it was the right thing to do. Lets hope it will make us all forget the first movie.And if it IS a success, then they should spin off some of the characters into their own movies, before making a Suicide Squad 2.Are they still obligated by contract to give Jared Leto his own Joker movie? I hope not.</blockquote>
