The DC Studios bosses shared 10 projects, talked the exit of Henry Cavill and addressed the potential future of Ezra Miller as the Flash as they introduced a slate of big heroes and lesser-known characters. "The stakes are massive for us and for Warner Bros. Discovery," says Safran.

I'm curious who they will cast as (yet another) Batman and Damian Wayne. Ben Affleck would have worked but I think that ship has sailed.

Seriously, he has a habit of not reading previous posts in threads and thinking he's posting news.

I'm not talking about myself, he does it in so many threads where other posters have posted the information multiple hours or even days earlier.

He's quoted me already. In case it wasn't clear, this is not a "serious issue" per se, just a long running little nit pick with him.

jussi goes through these stages were dogs me out for a week or so--then I put him on mute--I just took him off and this happens--so he goes back on mute for awhile
Looks like Shazam is going to be a bomb. Only 11 million on its opening day. So I'm guessing a $30 - $35 million opening weekend? That probably means less than $100 million domestic by the time it finishes its run.
Not overly surprising. It’s like expecting the last xmen movie to do well after the Disney purchase of Fox. Fans have no real interest when this non core hero movie is the last of the old regime.
I'm sure that is a major factor, but both the final x-men movie and apparently this movie as well are both mediocre to terrible.

I like the look, very colorful, seems fun. But they showed way too much again. Feel like they telegraphed the whole movie again.

I watched Shazam 2 last night. Worse than the first one. Didn't seem to have the heart of the first one and Shazam was more juvenile than Billy Batson, to an irritating level, especially during the 2nd post-credit scene. One line did make me laugh ("Taste the rainbow, motherfu.."

Feels like we hit a plateau with Superhero movies. Too many and the storylines are overall too weak.
DC should push out the remainder of what they have filmed and really nail their casting moving forward. Pick the right actors and those in the right age range for what they wish to do. If you are asking for an 8-10 year commitment, then you need to have actors in the right age range to do that.
That's why the fans of Marvel who want Krasinski and Blunt as part of the F4 team, don't realize that Blunt is 40 and Krasinski is 44 in 2023. Probably better to go with younger actors.
DC, I think they have to re-start with the core group. Bats, Sups, WW, and layer in the rest like GL, Flash, Aqua, etc. I think only these 6 get solo films. I doubt the 7th member, and it's been a rotation of MM, Hawkman, Cyborg, etc. over the years would get a solo movie early on. Similar to Hawkeye. Maybe on streaming it would make more sense.

The heavy rumors is that Reed and Sue will already have a kid in the movie, so they wouldn't be "that" young but not necessarily older.
DC is getting rebooted, James Gunn has confirmed it.
