It looks like the DC Comics movie universe is on the lookout for a new chiseled jawline and steely gaze – Henry Cavill is out as Superman according to The Hollywood Reporter. After playing the Man of Steel in three Warner Bros films, Cavill will be stepping down from the role. The studio had been reportedly trying to bring him in for a cameo in next spring’s Shazam! film, which stars...
Twice in the last six months, the world’s mightiest heroes have come together to battle a threat from beyond the stars. A being with unimaginable strength with designs on our planet, seeking the power contained in some arcane objects from out of time. In one story, our heroes succeeded, while in the other, they failed. As our heroes failed to stop this villain from achieving his...
It seems Zack Snyder’s departure from Justice League wasn’t as amicable as was previously reported. The director was allegedly fired from the movie months before it was reported he departed to deal with a personal family tragedy. Reporter Josh Dickey originally reported on the story last July for Mashable, shedding light on Snyder’s departure. Dickey has since departed the industry and...
The Justice League Blu-ray is dropping on March 13, and it’s going to include a ton of extra featurettes along with a few deleted scenes. Warner Bros.’ superhero mashup didn’t exactly go the way the studio envisioned. Instead of an Avengers of its own, it got a movie that was mired with production problems and failed at the box office. It’s trying to change the tune around Justice...
When Justice League begins, it doesn’t take long to realize something is off. By now you probably know about the saga of Henry Cavill’s mustache, which threw an unwanted wrench into the movie’s production. Because of his commitment to the next Mission: Impossible, Cavill had to grow out a mustache, which then got in the way of reshoots for Justice League. Instead of allowing Cavill to...
It’s hard to tell who is in control at Warner Bros. these days. The mouth is saying one thing while the hands are doing another. The latest evidence of this comes from the opening scene of the studio’s new film, Justice League. If it seemed to you like it stopped short, it wasn’t just you. The opening scene of Justice League has Batman tangling with a random criminal, with their...
Now that Justice League has hit theaters, it’s time to look forward to the future of DC movies. Warner Bros decided to abandon the DC Extended Universe premise en lieu of having an open road map. This will give it the opportunity to release movies under the DC banner without having to connect to the overarching storyline established in Justice League. Regardless, more movies that take...
Justice League is a movie that, from end to end, is at odds with itself. It calls out themes but doesn't embody them. It moves like a flash in some parts (sorry, had to say it) but is a slog in others. The characters are a blast, but the story is a snooze. There are flashes of brightness, but the movie is still trying to snuff them under a blanket of oppressive darkness. There's good to...
A lot is riding on Justice League, Zack Snyder’s follow-up to the critically panned Batman v Superman. Not only is it the first time we’ll see these heroes come together, but it’s following on the heels of Wonder Woman, which both critics and audiences loved. The arrival of Justice League also marks the start of a new wave of movies in the DCEU. So, does it leave a good impression?...
The DC film universe that started with Man of Steel in 2013 didn’t get off the best start. That much is admitted by Superman himself, Henry Cavill, in an interview where he opened up about the lack of critical success of DC movies and the self-reflection that was needed to (sort of) reboot the universe. Every DC movie that has been made has been a financial success, but only one has...
