Jason Momoa will be playing Aquaman in the forthcoming Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice movie. The image above is our first look at what his character will look like on the big screen. The Warner Bros/DC Entertainment film is set to be released on March 25th, 2016. The movie will also feature Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Gail Gadot as Wonder Woman.
Four months ago, after the success of the Captain America: Winter Soldier’s opening weekend, Marvel announced that Captain America 3 would be produced and released on May 6, 2016. This is the same date that DC’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice film was slated. This was widely seen as shots fired across DC’s bow, whose film franchise plans depend widely upon the success of Batman v Superman. If DC has any hope of replicating Marvel’s film franchise success, it needs Batman v Superman to do well, as it will introduce, not only a new Batman (portrayed by Ben Affleck), but also Wonder Woman (played by Gal Gadot) in a lead up to what is widely speculated to be a Justice League movie.
Today, in a move that has suprised few, DC and Warner Bros. have announced a new release date, March 25th, 2016.
Additionally, Warner Bros. announced 9 more theatrical release dates for as yet unnamed films. See them and more speculation after the break! [Read the rest of this entry…]
NBC has released the first official image (seen above) of Matt Ryan as John Constantine. Constantine, a character from the DC Comics universe who has starred in the Hellblazer and Constantine series, not to mention got his own feature film starring Keanu Reeves, will be brought to the small screen in the form of a TV pilot. The lead, Matt Ryan, has previously appeared in “Torchwood” and “The Tudors”.
No word yet on when the pilot will air beyond this fall.
Warner Bros. and DC’s Mortal Kombat style game, INJUSTICE: Gods Among Us, has gotten itself a ‘Game of the Year’ edition. Dubbing it the Ultimate Edition, this version will feature all of the downloadable content, in addition to the base game, available on disc. It also mentions the new availability for PS4, PSVita and PC, not to mention a mobile version of the game on iPhone and iPad, coming soon to Android.
This edition of the game is currently available as of November 12th on Amazon.
According to SlashFilm, at the very end of the DC panel, Zack Snyder took over to make an announcement about a Man of Steel sequel:
I’m gonna take the lectern from you, because some shit’s going to happen up here.
It’s official that we are going to make another Superman movie. And you say, Zack, what is the movie about? But you don’t want me to tell you that. You want to go and see the movie. But I can say that maybe there’s a single element that will be in the film that I could… help you out with. I was thinking about how to do that. I pored through the DC Universe to look for a way to tell this thing. We’re writing the thing now, but I came across a thing I found that’ll help you understand it.
The image in the banner came on screen and a voiceover was done:
I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in all your most private moments, I want you to remember your hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you.
This line comes from the end of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns. Snyder made it very clear that this will not be a direct adaptation, but will instead be used to help form a new story based on many cues from the source. Henry Cavill and the cast from Man of Steel are slated to reprise their roles, while the part of Batman has not yet been cast.
A brand new trailer has surfaced again for Man Of Steel. Strangely this one comes from Nokia.
This is by far the best trailer I have seen yet. It is almost entirely action and very quickly paced. It still seems a bit odd, though, that no where in the marketing for this movie has the name “Superman” once been uttered.
Henry Cavill is starring as Clark Kent/Superman.
Man of Steel is set to premiere in the US theaters on June 14, 2013.
Let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments!
Warner Bros. has released a trailer that was meant only for those who attended WonderCon. Guillermo Del Toro left this note in the video description:
This was originally intended for only WonderCon, but after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it’s time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!
