Geoff Johns makes it more curious for sure. But then what's happening with gambit I wonder
Edit: delayed filming until December lmao. Maybe he just might jump ship to a DC movie

Deadpool happened. Gambit was rumored to be the bridge for the X-Men franchise at Fox, correct? They don't need him quite as much anymore.
Yeah, I have zero doubt that Deadpool's completely unforeseen runaway success kind of threw a monkey wrench into whatever the hell Fox's original plans for their X-verse were post-Apocalypse (or at least post-Wolverine 3).
What did he mean by this?

Well, when the 'spin-off' does 50 million more opening weekend than the mainline film, the other spin-off might be lost in the shuffle ironically.
"Make it funnier! Make it raunchier! Make it rated R!"
"Channing are you with cool jerking off on screen bro?"

Tatum would absolutely nail the look of Shazam and might even have enough of the goofy earnest demeanor to pull off a kid having the power of a demigod.

Tatum would be an amazing Shazam. Better that than Gambit.

I saw some Suicide Squad shirts and posters at the mall, some based on the movie, some on the comics. Didn't buy anything, though. I'm waiting on the movie toys before I buy anything.
Also, I saw a movie Harley Quinn cosplayer walking down the street with a guy dressed as Akuma on the way home. Haha. Pretty sure that they were at Megacon. I saw a lot of cosplayers (like Goku, female Toad, Jedi's, the Spanish Inquisition) walking around the streets on the way home. It looks like there were quite a few Harley's, Joker's, and even some Katana's there, going by Instagram and what my brother that went there said. Not sure about any of the other characters yet.

I still have no idea why Channing was cast as Gambit. He does not fit my image of the character at all. Even in the body builder Age of Apocalypse parallel universe.

Ropeguy will be the top cosplay of 2016.

I find Flash more believable, not to mention it's rumoured Cyborg might be featured in it.
Besides, think it's wierd that it seems to be the expectation that a black director can only be fit for a black superhero movie, rather than have the choice to do any he wants.

Wasn't he the one pressing for awhile? Kinda like Reynolds with Deadpool?
I'm not really a fan, but yeah, he could pull off Shazam. Dye that hair black and he's good to go.

aye i didn't make the rules. but it's the pattern that's been presented to us so far when you look at all the directors marvel approached for black panther and the rumored people for cyborg.
plus man i was hoping for a really inspired choice for flash. like raimi/wright tier. i guess anything else was gonna look disappointing tho by comparison tbh. i thought dope was hella corny after the first half hour. whatever, it's cool that he's being given this big opportunity after a small movie. (allegedly. we'll see if an announcement pops up soon)
i could see him working well with shazam though.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Probably nothing, but a weekend of nothing!

I refuse to go into the OT once the thread is made. No way, José.
I like how he brushes it off by saying it made 800 million dollars lol. I love Irons' Alfred. I want to see more of him but I doubt we'll get a lot of him in JL.
He insulted a movie he was in and Snyder worked hard on.

At this point, Irons will be working on DC properties longer than Snyder.
Who knows, Snyder might feel the same about the theatrical cut.
It was WB execs who had the movie chopped up, right?
I initially was under the impression that the execs wanted the movie cut down but going back and checking what I could find leads me to believe both Snyder and the execs got cold feet at the last minute about a 3 hour movie.
I don't think it would have improved the reception though. Much like Watchmen I think the ultimate cut will prove to be the better movie that is highly recommended but would still have failed had it been the one initially released. Does that make sense? I could try to elaborate but I'm on mobile for a while.

I'm guessing when you've made it to Hollywood you don't let stuff like a little criticism bother you. These people have been making movies for a huge portions of their lives and I feel it's perfectly normal to be self-critical of whatever they put out. Even Snyder himself called the version of BvS we saw "workable". I would guess he and everyone else knew the issues the movie had when they went through with it.
It's not like Irons threw anyone spefically under the bus either.
Nah, he'll be fine. It's not like anybody behind the scenes would disagree with him aside from maybe Snyder. As Ninjimbo said, he didn't say it was the fault of anybody in particular, just that the film was "overstuffed".

Irons is "semi-retired" anyway.

I think Ben might also agree with Irons.
I always wonder what good directors think when they act in movies without any control.

You get an EP credit on the sequel to regain control.

He's already doing the Justice League movie, and he's likely done after that. There's no change they're going to make right now.
Looks like Jesse Eisenberg is back as Lex in Justice League. Figured that might be the case but this looks like the first confirmation but no telling how big of a role it would be.

Personally I like him as Lex. Then again I did not expect the cartoon well built businessman Lex. Especially since they said upfront that weren't going in that direction. It's not like movie Lex has ever been that in the first place. Hackman and Spacey certainly weren't playing him that. Speaking of Hackman he's why I call BS on a lot of people that complain about how Lex looked. Especially since for the bulk of Superman 1 his Lex had hair then people had the nerve to toss shit toward the BvS version because he had hair until the end. The closest to that cartoon version, which suddenly became the "standard" , was the live action Lex has been was on Smallville and that's it. Even the cartoon Lex isn't always what people think of when they think cartoon Lex. He goes through a lot of changes. There are many different versions of Lex. I've felt for a while people think know certain characters when in truth they either don't or they know only one particular version and then get on their soap box when another valid version shows up, even when they've been warned their version might not be appearing.

Jeremy Irons once said that legal gay marriage could lead to a father marrying his own son so they could by pass inheritance laws.
Irons says a lot of things.
He won't be in the Batman solo?

He's fine, and set for justice League and batman. Y'all overreacting over a harmless quote he made.
Edit: oh never mind you talking about snyder? I still think he makes both justice League movies in the end. I don't see him getting kicked off the sequel.

Irons, Affleck, and zimmer were the only redeeming qualities of the movie, they NEED him not the other way around. He outdid Caine in less time TBH.

No, no. I was talking about Snyder.
Would perfer him to bulk up a bit.
