The majority of characters from the first Suicide Squad film won't return.
Right now it appears that only Deadshot and Captain Boomerang will 100% return.
Harley Quinn won't return. She will have her own arc of films with Birds of Prey, Joker & Harley and a future film with Poison Ivy.
Harley Quinn could return for a third Suicide Squad film.
It seems that Rick Flagg left the Suicide Squad to live a peaceful life with June Moon
.

I don't have any problem with the characters in Suicide Squad.
I loved them all especially Harley and Deadshot.
Although Suicide Squad lacked good character development but overall the characters were interesting and fun to watch.
I guess James Gunn wants to build a whole new team of his own for SS2 and that's absolutely fine.
Writers and directors should be given the freedom to craft their own ideas for future DC movies without WBs interference...thats why Patty and James made hits with WW and Aquaman respectively.

Characters that have been discussed for Suicide Squad 2 are King Shark, Manchester Black, Bane, Killer Frost and Black Spider.
James Gunn should give me Dave Bautista as Bane and Micheal B Jordan as Bronze Tiger and I will be more than hyped for Suicide Squad 2 cheesy
Since the rumours suggest Bane in SS2 is possible, I can't think of anybody to play Bane other than Dave Bautista...he has worked with James Gunn before so it's very possible...i mean who else would James Gunn pick to play Bane.

Matt Reeves has plans for Catwoman.
My love for Cat woman started with TDKR.
She may not feature in Batman but since Matt Reeves wants to craft a new trilogy for The Caped Crusader, it's possible she appear in future Batman films.

The Batman will take place around 12-15 years before Man of Steel.
The script has Batman in costume for the majority of the film.
They want Batman have a leaner and less bulky physique compared to Batman v. Superman.
The script focuses on Batman's detective skills but rewrites were made to also focus on his fighting skills.
They want an actor that could be both a younger and older Batman.
The rumors about the new Batman movie featuring a younger Batman keeps getting stronger everyday.
In fact there is 90% chance it could be true even though Matt Reeves has not confirmed it.
A younger Batman is a good idea cuz Ben Affleck was not well received by critics.
I still want Affleck in Batman movie, he should play the older Batman while a new actor plays younger Batman.
I don't want WB to make use of CGI ageing effect.

Black Adam director should be announced soon
.

Something tells me Black Adam will be DCs next surprise billion dollar movie.
It's Dwayne Johnson after all, the most sought after actor in Hollywood right now.
If WB do the movie right it will become a massive success.

Henry Cavill and WB did resume contract negotations at the end of 2018.
Henry resumed contract talks with WB cuz WB wants Superman to cameo in Shazam movie.
The media got wind of it and started numerous click bait articles about Henry hanging the red cape... All LIES..!!

In the comics Billy idolised Superman and Supes mentored Shazam, I believe Henry will cameo in Shazam movie.

Buhari to honor his father he never expected the venom with which Nigerians came after him for rubbishing his father's legacy over a pot of soup

iwayumeh:
When Jamiu Abiola said Nigerians should vote for Buhari to honor his father he never expected the venom with which Nigerians came after him for rubbishing his father's legacy over a pot of soup.

Now Reno Omokri has joined those calling out jamu he wrote:
Hhhh

Dear Jamiu Abiola,

Voting for @MBuhari does NOT honour your father because when Abacha threw your father in jail, he had an accomplice by his side whose duty it was to legitimise his government and that man’s name is Buhari. Voting Buhari is a dishonour to your dad

See the picture he shared with the post

Your Forgot x men and the fantastic four franchise
namor, blade,black widow, the eternals etc.
Namor movie ain't happening anytime soon cuz Disney and Fox don't have rights to the character.
Namor is with Universal.

Besides any potential Namor movie will risk comparisons to Aquaman...cuz Newsflash: DC DID IT FIRST....!!!

X-men and FF4 ain't happening anytime soon.
You have to wait at least 3 more years to see it in MCU cuz Disney is busy with BP2, Black Widow and Doctor Strange 2...

Where did you hear that a new Blade movie is coming. huh

MCU is doing Eternal cuz WB are also doing New Gods.

Spiderman , captain Marvel and mother of all movies avengers endgame all coming out this year against shazam and joker tongue.
Joker will surprise you.
You will be amazed at how Joaquin Phoenix will own that character and make his name synonymous with Joker just like Heath Ledger did.

lol You know I am right, now stop pouting and relax yourself with my of my DC Animated fav of all time" Batman "Under the Red Hood"...just peep the ratings below
You sabi good something..

If I was the chairman of Warner Bros, I would stop the straight to DVD releases and start a shared cinematic universe of big budget 3D CGI animated movies for DC.

It'll be a success and it will make millions of dollars for the studio.

The animations are always on point...
I even prefer Assault on Arkham to the live action big budget 2016 Suicide Squad movie.

TV/Movies › Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by BlackManta(m): 7:47pm On Jan 13, 2019
James Wan has made history as the only second filmmaker in the history of Hollywood , alongside James Cameron, to score two $1b+ earners that aren’t in the same franchise...(Aquaman and Fast and Furious 7)

Who could have predicted that Aquaman, a character that has been a laughing stock of the superhero genre, the butt of jokes in pop culture, a movie that many believe will be just another failure from DC, turns out to be one of the most successful films of all time! Even besting out Nolan's much loved Dark Knight and even outgrossing 15 Marvel movies. Entering the elite $1 billion club.!!!

Blackmanta,

Wait, I just realised that you actually said that you haven't watch Aquaman. Seriously? A whole DC fan like you? Better change your username.
Sadly.. there is no cinema in my neighborhood. embarassed
So I'm waiting for the movie to drop online.
I must watch Aquaman in the best quality even it means waiting till March. smiley

Mehn Marvel are going to any length to promote the Fake Capt Marvel.
What's D.C doing on Shazam? huh huh huh huh huh
I noticed it.

2 months to film release and Captain Marvel already has a giant billboard in Times Square.
Marvel seem desperate for this movie to succeed.
The heavy marketing tho..

WB didn't start heavy marketing on Aquaman until November.
Jason Momoa got his billboard in Times Square in December like 2 weeks before the movie released in US.

I think WB are gonna employ the same marketing strategy they used on Aquaman to Shazam.

No heavy marketing until late February/ early March.

Do I think Black Panther was hyped to some extent? Yes

But do I also think it genuinely deserves the excitement it has generated? Yes

I understand its cultural significance but I also get that most people outside of Black Americans are grading it as a standard superhero movie and not based on its cultural ‘essence’

I personally really enjoyed it though and thought it was a good movie. Not the best, but also not the worst

BlackManta
Just thought I’d mention whilst I agree that black people sometimes play the race card, you can’t really compare a black and white person’s ‘racist’ experiences that you’ll be saying black people pull it more than whites, c’mon now, at most white people face discrimination, some prejudice here and there but not the systematic type minorities face that actually means something lol ^.^
Fine... I may have overstated.

But I don't want Black Panther getting nominations undeservedly simply because it has black cast and the sentimental value placed on this movie by SJWs and political correctness advocates.

You can't nominate BP for best drama at golden globes just because of predominantly black cast and cultural significance.

If BP should get nomination why don't we open a new awards category called "best movie for cultural significance and predominantly black ".

Why nominate BP for drama when it doesn't deserve such nomination....why.

The undeserved praise and rave reviews were there to avoid racist cards.

Enough of trying to be politically correct and pandering to the SJWs.

Let's stop blowing things out of proportion cuz of sentiments.

This is major points I need to pass across.

Anybody who finds problems with these points is obviously sentimentally manipulated.

JeromeBlack:
The comment you replied was for AHCB.

I addressed your CGI issue in my reply to you. Go back and look at it then quote it. you must have missed it.

I never said that Black Panther was the best movie ever.
And I never said BP is a bad movie.


BP is average to okay.
BP is overated and didn't deserve the praise it got.
It was praised like a masterpiece and it ain't even close.
Blacks are sentimental about this movie, Africa has not been portrayed well in Hollywood so you can understand why folks including you are sentimentally attached to this movie.
Critics know this very well so they over praised the movie so that no one would accuse them of racism.

This movie is being pushed by SJW's.
That is why it got nominated for drama at the golden globes.
A nomination it didn't deserve.
But it got it so that blacks wouldn't feel marginalized in these awards.
It lost the award and people started playing racist card, so imagine the outrage if BP didn't get nominated at all.

I maintain my stance that movies should be praised and given recognition cuz it deserves it not because of black cast or black whatever.

Imagine Crazy Rich Asians winning golden globe just because of its predominantly Asian cast.

How would that feel.?

These are the points I made in my first comment and yes these points are legit.
I don't understand why you picked fault in it.

You sir are sentimentally manipulated.

JeromeBlack:
How do you arrive at James Mcavoy's acting being better? Or are you comparing apples to oranges without a sensible set of criteria?

Blackmanta addressed nothing. Oga, formulate your own argument.

The only reason you are saying that Black panther is like nollywood is because it has black people. The storyline is comparable with Aquaman. Come and say that aquaman is nollywood, let blackmanta come an roast you alive. Nonsense.


This sentiment you are talking about exists in all war movies and holocaust movies that win awards. The connection is deep and the story is a simple but very emotionally touching one.

Blacks like you will cry for Jewish holocaust movies but complain about slave movies. Sell outs
Why bring up Aquaman. huh

I have not dropped a single review on it.
Go through my posts on this thread and DC thread as well.
I cannot praise or criticize or rate something I haven't seen.
Who does that. huh

I brought up the terrible CGI in BP and you did nothing to counter that.
Go watch the last fight in the movie on YouTube then come back and tell me how horrible it is.

The acting was average to okay.
It was nothing stellar, which kind stellar. huh
MBJ was the best actor in the movie...the others especially Tchalla were just average.

The story is predictable and okay.
It was not spectacular or touching.

I will praise slave movies.
I will praise movies with black cast only if those movies are done right.
Black panther did well in showcasing African tradition, the beautiful aesthetics and wonderful costumes.
But I will not praise this movie to high heavens cuz of that.
There is more to a movie than just showcasing Africa in a positive way.
Look out for acting, directing, score, cinematography, story, pacing, character development etc.
These are elements if done right, make a great movie.

BP was not a bad movie.
It's average to okay.

Stop treating it like a groundbreaking masterpiece or whatever .

You really need to remove your black manta helmet so that you can stop seeing things through a red filter.

I
say this because I wonder how you missed the stellar acting in Black Panther plus the visuals.

Then again, villains only see hate clearly.



There is a time to bash SJWs and this is not the time.
I wonder how you missed the terrible CGI in the film.
People get blasted in BP and they fly across the screen in outlandish fashion.
BP in costume runs and moves like a PS3 character.
Don't get me started on the Rhinos, that was one of the worst CGI I have seen in MCU.
How did you miss all that huh

Acting was not stellar in any way.
Acting was just average to okay.
Tchalla was bland and uninspiring, MBJ carried that movie.

Where was this outrage when "The Shape of Water" won awards? A film that could be simply summarized as "A dumb sluut fcked a fish".

Negro, go and sit down.

Only a biased person would argue against a movie that made 1.344 billion dollars and was lauded by critics.


If you do not understand how people were moved by the black panther movie, please park well.


cc IBkayee
Hey I'm black and I was in a predominantly black cast movie and it made 1.3 billion.
Give me a free Oscar, golden globe and 100% rave reviews.


Yen yen yen....SMH.

Movies critics like but audiences hate:

Black panther.

Some people here said that critics like this movie because they didn't want to be labeled racists... but assuming critics hated it, i am sure there would have been an uproar from blacks citing racism as the reason why critics hated such a black culture superhero movie.
Yes there will always be people who play racist card.

In fact when it comes to playing racist card, I think blacks are more notorious than whites.

But let's tell ourselves the truth.

Did Black Panther live up to the hype ?...NO.
Is Black Panther deserving of the over-praise it got from critics...NO.
Is Black Panther such a great movie?... Not even close.

Black Panther is an AVERAGE to OKAY movie.

It doesn't deserve the over-the-top praise critics bestowed on it.
And yes critics did that deliberately just to avoid being labeled RACIST.
Same way they over-praised Wonder Woman just to avoid the wrath of feminist.

But at the end of the day...i wouldn't blame critics.
I have no problem with them.

I will blame the advocates of political correctness.
I will blame the SJW's.
I will blame the racist card players.

They are the reason why critics did what they did.


Movies like Black Panther are used to pander to the blacks SJWs.

I was not surprised when BP was nominated for best drama at the golden globes.
Can you imagine....best drama nomination... What the actual fuçk undecided
BP didn't deserve that nomination one bit.
It got that nomination for one reason-----Predominantly Black cast in the movie.
SJW's and Political correctness minions have become so sentimentally attached BP so gotta give it that golden globe nomination.
I'm happy it lost the award to Bohemian Rhapsody.

To conclude my rant.. I would like to ask a question.

How long are we going to pander to the SJW's.
How long are we going to form political correctness.
How long are we going to give a movie undeserved praise because we don't want want to tagged racist.

Now to the SJWs and political correct minions.
Where were you when Blade was released huh

In conclusion we should not give a movie undeserved praise and worship.
Heck.. A masterpiece like TDK didn't get the kind of praise BP got.
Even Infinity War was not hyped like this by critics.

We cannot continue this way.
Middle fingers to those who enjoy playing racist card.

A movie should get praise and worship and recognition not because of the predominantly black cast but because of the plot, acting, cinematography, suspense etc.
These elements, if done right, makes a movie great.

These elements in the right proportion makes a movie deserving high praise, golden globe and Oscars nomination.

*drops mic*


And for those people who think there is no such thing as racist card.

See evidence...

BP failed to win golden globe and people came out to play racist card.

This is why I don't blame critics.

SJWs and political correct minions are a cancer to American society.

Liverpool has never lost points to any team outside top 6 this season.
They have beaten all the lesser teams in PL this season, all of them.

And you think Palace will hold them at Anfield huh

Jumanji competed with star wars and it made 900+ December 2017 why did wonder woman ran from 2019 to 2020 at least marvel don't run.

ps May July November are always fix for marvel movies except few movies like black panther hulk and captain marvel.
Wonder Woman 2 was going to release on 1st November 2019 before WB shifted it to June 2020.

Star Wars 9 will release on 19th December 2019.

Wonder Woman would have had a massive one month and 18 days head start over Star Wars 9.

So tell me how did WW ran away from Star Wars when both movies were never going to release in the same month.
Plus both movies were a massive 6 weeks apart before WW shifted to 2020.

So tell me what you mean by WW running away from Star Wars huh

What are u saying
I'm talking about major competition at the box office
Justice league floped but if it had the opportunity aquaman had it will make 1billion but it didn't.
It also applies to bvs and thor.

Ps never ever compare Thor raganarok to aquaman.

Besides marvel has always been good when it comes to competing at the box office unlike DC who had to move ww2 to 2020 because of star wars.
When will a Marvel film compete with Star Wars at the box office huh

Last time I checked Ragnarok dodged Star Wars by releasing a month earlier.

Star Wars 9 comes out next December.
Avatar 2 comes out in December 2020.

Marvel should release a movie featuring a B-list character to compete with these heavyweights since they ain't afraid of heavy guns blazing competition.

philfearon:
Lol... Seriously?
Justice league was the only real competition, but it flopped...

Aquaman was released in same time with the so called MARY POPPINS RETURNS;
BUMBLEBEE
SPIDERMAN : INTO THE SPIDERVERSE

That Aquaman buried them underwater does not make them no competition... All of them had $100m+ budget, just like Aquaman!!!
He forgot that Ragnarok had a headstart over other big movies in November 2017.

It had a 2 weeks head start over JL and a massive 3 weeks head start over Coco.

Mean while Aquaman, Mary Poppins and Bumblebee all released on the same day in USA.
No headstart.

Both Coco and JL released with the risk of jamming Star Wars Last Jedi in just 2 weeks.
But Ragnarok dodged Star Wars by releasing a month earlier.

Shitnakeem didn't remember that one.

wonder
justice League
murder on orient express
Darkest hour
Call me by your name(Gay movie)
look at that major movies to compete
still made 800m+

Now ask yourself will aquaman make 1b if it was released may 2018.

Even Deadpool 2 had major competition.
So this is the new excuse.

I have seen similar excuses from MCU trolls crawling all over Facebook and Reddit whenever Aquaman box office numbers is brought up.

But...but.. Aquaman had no competition yen yen yen..

Ask yourself how many December movies has made over $1b in Hollywood asides Avatar and Star Wars huh

Ask yourself would you have been able to predict Aquaman hitting $1b long before the movie was released. huh

You guys talk as if every December release is a certified billion dollar earner.

If Marvel get liver they should release a movie on December 2019, 2020 or 2021.

If someone told you 10 years ago that a movie featuring Batman and Superman wouldn't crack a billion but Aquaman released in December would do it.... Would you have believed that. huh


Stop downplaying Aquaman box office success.

There is no such thing as December favoured it or it had no competition.

All that excuses is pure trash.

Aquaman exceeded every box office expectations.
Don't forget that this is first DC movie coming after JL flopped and generated so much negative buzz.

8 months ago very few people gave a damn about Aquaman and now it's crushing box office and it's success is a fluke. huh

TV/Movies › Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by BlackManta(m): 7:23pm On Jan 06, 2019
BlackManta:
It was $887m by the end of Friday.

If you add Saturday numbers which (as projected by analyst) would be $25m+ in USA alone.

It's safe to say Aquaman has already passed $900m by now.

Warner Bros will officially release the weekend numbers by the end of today and I bet it won't be anything less than $920m.
Domestic: $259m
Overseas: $681m

Global Total: $940m

Wan Billion will arrive by this time next week.

Phoenix won a Golden Globe Award for his performance as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line. He’s also earned three Academy Award nominations.

We might finally have an actor that would play the Joker well and own the character.

Something tells me this guy will be just as good as Heath Ledger.

Why the hell is Phoenix playing Joker in Elseworlds and not DCEU... Ahhhh embarassed
