Just say you don't know.

This is an article as far back as 2007 on Johnson being cast as BA.

You won't know this because of excessive complaining

news forger. They were l0oking to cast him as shazam. Johns0n chose black adam when he was c0nvinced to by his fans on twitter. Wb has never c0nsidered making a black adam film b4 shazam.

TheKingIsHere:
You are just clinging unto straws.

Is the green lattern not moving on with HBOmax? They announced it just barely 2 weeks ago but complaining will not allow you to know.

Cyborg is due to fisher's attachment to synder which they are trying to avoid.

You think studios just rush to make movies? Do you know how many marvel movies were greenlit and are in limbo now?

Why didn't Will Smith join the SS2 cast? Is it not because he is involved in other projects and he won't have time to do all at once?

If they recast Ezra to kick start filming for flash now, you will still come again to complain about how Ezra Miller was the perfect casting and WB just threw his flash away.

Ogbeni, you don't have a point.

HBO Max? So gl is relegatd to a series? Bros, its an anthology series n0t a gl show. I'll bring this statement to view in 2023 if n0ne of these happens. A Gl series aint happening. It's an anthology series of dc lore. Yea, like gal gadot isn't attached to snyder or jas0n m0m0a. Mtcheww this guy na news forger. H0nestly, he forges tinx that would ensure he wins. Where's the snyder attachment c0ming fr0m? Did wb tell u this?

TheKingIsHere:
Black Adam was announced 10 years ago. Is it not getting done now?

shazam n0t black adam. No dy forge news to butter ur point abeg.

TheKingIsHere:
Also, Viola Davis role in SS2 is minimal, compared to Ezra Miller that is playing a major role in both FB3 and flash

viola told you her role was minimal right? And i d0n't remember ezra having that much scenes in fb2. And c0me on, dwayne j0hns0n jumpz fr0m one project to an0ther in the span of a week. Yet he's abt to make black adam ir0nically b4 a film that was actually in the slate.

TheKingIsHere:
I hope you know Todd Philip has been on this for over 4 years? He spent years convincing WB and Joaquin Phoenix.

Or you think he just did Joker movie overnight?

Everything needs proper planning.

You can see why I said you don't have an argument.

like how wb has been developing a flash film since 2007.

pu7pl3:
There have been talks on both movie but you guys have just chosen to ignore them... Thekingishere posted what Ezra said and last month Zachary talked about Shazam 2 and the studio also being aware that the children are growing but you have chosen not to see it

n0t c0ncerned with shazam 2. Dat m0vie came out this year. But what of Flash that was ann0unced since 2014?

TheKingIsHere:
Did WB say that they don't want to make a flash movie, because we all know that it has been approved and greenlit. Ezra miller confirmed it himself.


Is Pattison currently involved in another top WB movie like Ezra? This comparison doesn't even hold water.

Like I said, WB has several franchises with their own fan base. WB has grenlit several DC projects, why is it now an issue for them to do the single wizardry movie that has its on fanbase before another DC movie? Or do you think is everyone that loves CBM?



Let it end because your points hold no water

green lantern and cyborg were also green lit. Heck jl part 2 was also green lit with a release date. Guy, miller aint the only actor to work on 2 producti0ns. Alot of act0rz do. I menti0ned henry cavill and viola davis who is currently a lead on a tv series. There are act0rz who even sh0ot in different producti0ns in a week. All in h0llyw0od. Ever since the release of fantastic whatever, i guess Ezra has been so busy for over a year n0w i guess. Mtchew

TheKingIsHere:
If they did what you just said and the flash movie turns out bad, it is the same you that will come here to complain again of how WB rushed Ezra Miller into filming two movies or not caring about the flash movie.

Someone that loves complaining will always look for another reason to keep complaining.

like how joker that was ann0unced in late 2017 and came out this year turned bad. Oh, wait like how aquaman and w0nder w0man were bad. If wb d0n't make an oscar worthy film of the flash, i'll revisit ur statement.

Raalsalghul:
To an extent, I agree with Minemrys.

If WB wants to push a project, then they'd find a way around the actor's schedule.

Personally, I don't think they're interested in making a flash movie.

When last did we hear anything tangible on it.

Which is why I'm afraid for Shazam.

But let me zip my lips up before you guys will call me a troll.

trust me, schedule isn't even the matter. Viola Davis filmed and is filming suicide squad same as how to get away with murder. They d0n't have faith in the m0vie making large sums. And they really d0n't want to risk it seeing as the series is still on air. Isn't it wb that had to kill deadshot and amanda waller on arrow becos of suicide squad?

TheKingIsHere:
I don't know why you take delight in grasping at straws.

You keep saying WB is nonchalant with flash but it has been confirmed that the flash movie is greenlit.

Even Ezra miller confirmed it some 3 months ago that Flash and Fanstatic beast has been greenlit.

FB3 has been delayed too if you don't know.

They have other franchises (wizardry universe, monster universe etc) to build and have fan bases that wants those films too.

Plz do your research instead of getting too over-emotional over nothing.

if wb want to make a flash m0vie, they would. How c0me it didn't take l0ng to make the batman or matt reeves didn't have other works on plate? Guy. End the discussi0n here pls.

AfricaGalactic:
Lmao. You do realize that the B.O gross of Superman (1978) was huge at the time of it's release, right? That was Superman's theatrical debut and rightfully, it was a hit. How do you expect a blockbuster to make a billion dollars in the 70s? What do you know about Box Office inflation and ticket sales? When you said a no-name team outgrossed Superman, i suppose you mean the Avengers? First of all, MOS was a controversial film receiving mostly negative reviews if i recall correctly. That hurt it's legs. Secondly, we've seen countless Superman films already. Some OK but mostly bad. The Avengers was the first of its kind and understandably, it had more hype.

oga, i never said superman the m0vie should gr0ss a billi0n at its initial release. I was outlining ur flawed logic of how a film's BO potential rests on a character's popularity. No superman film has ever outgrossed MOS whether 0n initial release or adjustd for inflati0n. Superman the m0vie if adjustd made 530 s0mething milli0n. And MOS made 600 s0mething mill. And superman is a popular character. M0re popular than Joker and aquaman. Ir0n man made m0re than superman the m0vie when adjustd for inflati0n, yet ir0n man was an unkn0wn character at its initial release. Superman the m0vie had top stars in its cast back then in the form of gene hackman and marl0n brando but the film made a hundred and s0mething which was big m0ney at the time but couldn't go past that even with the character's popularity. What am saying here is, there are films that appeal to a general audience and those that d0n't n0 matter who is involved. Any questi0n why a film abt jesus christ hasn't made a billi0n yet whereas titanic made m0re at its initial release.

TheKingIsHere:
You think they studio is only here to make comic book movies? They have other movie franchises to make too. Ezra miller is already set for fantastic beast after that he will be available for flash.

It has been said several times on SM. So stop getting emotional

oga, forget fantastic beasts whatever. Did henry cavill n0t film man fr0m uncle for wb shortly b4 BvS? Had wb been serious abt a flash film, miller would've filmed it immediately after part 2 of fantastic whatever. What of Viola davis who is involved with how to get away with murder and suicide squad? Abegi. Find an0ther defense. Wb aint serious on a Flash film. Take joker for example, the film was ann0unced in late 2017, filmed in 2018 and released this year. Flash and Ezra were ann0unced immediately after the flash pilot aired in October 2014. It was same time that jas0n m0m0a was cast as aquaman [although his was secret], did m0m0a n0t film other m0vies during that time till b4 justice league? He went on to film aquaman becos wb were serious with an aquaman film. But for the flash film, wb d0n't kn0w whether to go with flashpoint or anything, evident with how writerz and direct0rz kept leaving the project. Okay, why didn't patty jenkins t0o walk out of w0nder w0man? Or shazam go thr0ugh rewrites and the direct0r leave? Why didn't wb put a hold on jl with all the crisis that went on? They had interests making those projects. But wb are n0nchalant with Flash cos of the series' popularity i think. If it was cos of fantastic beasts, is the project n0t theirs? It's had 2 sequels out, why n0t push the third and go with an0ther film that had been in development hell b4 returning to a 3rd film?

AfricaGalactic:
Yes. Adjusted for inflation, they did

how c0me inflati0n weren't adjusted at the time of it's debut. Or how a n0 name team would outgross superman films at the initial release. Mtchewww. Go and sit down. You're exhaustd.

pu7pl3:
Let's keep watching then...I know nothing else can dissuade you

exactly. Trust me, bro.

Raalsalghul:
I support you on this. WB should consider a solo Luthor film.

bro, a Luthor film if d0ne right would make m0ney and be classic. It'd be like the rise and c0nquest over metropolis. Lex would be a hero in it, a philantropist. In fact, dc should try to balance our films with supervillains character study.

AfricaGalactic:
You've just made my point. You can make the research. The highlighted is exactly the reason why Marvel ruled the Silver Age, why there was a "Marvel Age Of Comics". All DC did was revamp their golden age characters like Flash in 1956. Quality wise, Marvel stomped. You can check it anywhere

oga, marvel didn't rule the silver age. Dc spearheaded it bt marvel found its formulae to take advantage of c0mic rise then. It was like trying to find ur way while the big guns were hitting big.

AfricaGalactic:
Joker's popularity isn't restricted to comic readers though. He's waaaaay more mainstream than Lex Luthor it's not even fair.
The rest, i could agree with.

yeah, that was why superman films made a billi0n dollars at the box office with a pg 13 rating.

pu7pl3:
You were making good points till you lost me bruh,...nobody is scrapping anything and starting over with pattingson's universe

duuuh, i hate to say i told u so.

TheKingIsHere:
They are not coming out against WB.

It is so obvious you aren't even updated on the trend.

Gal Gadot and Ben Afleck tweeted yesterday for the first time on the Synder cut because WB was listening and the news was circulating round that they wanted to know if the people wanted to see the cut.

Gal Gadot and Ben did so in support as Synder fans on twitter have been saying previously that Gadot does not support Synder.

It was just a way of reaching the number of tweets for the cut yesterday and making it amongst the top trends.

So, with that it is sure that the cut will be released most likely on HBOmax

mtttchhewww

AfricaGalactic:
He still has a massive fanbase. I never hear of Loki fanboys. Or Lex Luthor fanboys. Or even Venom fanboys. But Joker fanboys? Visit places like ComicVine and 4chan. He's comic book villain #1 in the world. No villain can boast of being as iconic or having as much fans as the Joker.

Well maybe Darth Vader.

mtchew, bros if a lex luthor film were to be released, it would make n0thing short of 800mill. Forget fan base. C0mic readerz d0n't c0mprise large percentage of cinema goers, and the fact that the film was R rated, shows how flawed ur logic is. People saw it becos of the themes explored n0t just cos of the genre or character. M0vie audiences have a knack for psychological films i.e g0ne girl and so on. A Lex Luthor film would follow in same pattern as it would show a capitalist manipulating things to his interest, and why capitalists often feel threatened at the sight of a new/alien phen0men0n and would want to manipulate or c0ntrol such to his interest.

AfricaGalactic:
Lol. Well, that is debatable. IMO, there's no superior brand. They're generally on equal footing with one surpassing the other occassionally. DC may have come first but Google will let you know that the Silver Age of comics was generally known as the "Marvel Age Of Comics". There is no such subtitle for DC. Superman and Batman are obviously timeless classics. But so is Spider-Man. Also, the name "Marvel" has become synonymous with "superhero" these days. I used to know many friends who thought Batman & Superman were Marvel characters.

In the 2010s, Marvel is clearly the superior brand, but its mostly because of the MCU (which utilizes arguably the most accessible media: film). In the 2000s before The Avengers (2012), DC was superior thanks to Nolan. Joker was fantastic but Infinity War & Endgame were event films anticipated by practically everyone.

i disagree with u there. The silver age of c0mics was spearheaded by the introduction of barry allen, the green lantern corps, the jla into mainstream media. Dc brazed the trail in that regard. Although marvel creatd their own f0rmulae in stan lee making marvel characterz m0re relatable than Dc's godly characterz.

AfricaGalactic:
To avoid unwanted box office casualties due to more movies being released qualifies as a reason. Nov to Dec has a good number of films slated. We know that with Fox under Marvel, we're primed to get either DP3 or Blade. Can't see a better release date for these movies besides October. February will most likely be GOTG3, May is BP2, July will most likely be a new series. And a Deadpool threequel is long overdue.

It is also a fact that Marvel and DC fans on Nairaland can't discuss anything without dragging their rivals in the mud.

the point of the matter is, has disney ever released a mcu film before hand in october? That's what thekingishere is pointing at i believe.

TheKingIsHere:
It is not a dick measuring contest rather it is the fact. Don't know why its difficult for people to admit to facts.

Disney, initially released their MCU movies schedule some months back, nothing about a movie in Oct 2022 was stated.

If you checked the initial calendar that was posted in the MCU thread, you will see it.

So, why after joker success, they decided to make it four and include a movie in October 2022?

hey hey hey, na n0w i dy undastand wetin u dy yarn. Having seen the BO potential of october releases in ven0m and joker, the idea is to push in an october release too. But that aint smart in its entirety cos it depends on the film and c0mpetiti0n.

TheKingIsHere:
The power of DC and the Joker movie.

Tomorrow, some people will be asking for links. Or claiming that the Joker movie didn't prompt the President of the US to have a special screening for his guests and families. Lol

'Donatus' Trump na my main G.

pu7pl3:
Snyderbots I hope y'all are busy...it's already going down tonight

forget snyder for a minute. For the fact that these actors can boldly c0me out and against wb acti0ns to support this, means they kn0w for sure the film released in theatres was a let down. Trust me, Ben Affleck, an acclaimed writer wouldn't be on to this antic if the snyder cut wasn't good. They starred in it, read the script, they may have seen the fo0tage. And it's n0t like if the cut were to be released, they'd make m0ney off it. But pers0nally, i think it should just end at that. Forget the snyder cut, if the idea is to scrap the dceu after milking the on going aquaman, w0nder w0man, suicide squad franchise, and start all over with Robert Pattins0n's universe, then great. Integrating shazam into that world wouldn't be hard. I believe that's the plan by wb hence the n0nchalantness in releasing a Flash film.

TheKingIsHere:
You saw in my statement in the post that disney put a marvel movie in October 2022, something that they have never done before. If that's not enough that Joker struck a nerve in disney, then keep waiting for link, mtttccchhhwwww

this guy and sentiment eh. U go sabi quarrel oh. U go just dy find matter wey no c0nnect at all just to yab disney. Chai.

teewhydope:
you think it will be easy after assaulting police officers in the earlier episode

dude, people get away with worse. They just made Grays0n a fugitive.

pu7pl3:
So his Nightwing arc can be fully complete + he is the main character of the show

am n0t asking why he is getting out of pris0n, am asking why have the titans break him out? Why n0t get bruce wayne to get him out?

pu7pl3:
Who has watched the recent Titan's episode?

How the hell did Bruce pull that elko trick offam I a joke to these people?

And il be really happy if they can write out Donna and dawn from this whole story thanks

D tin tire me oh. Why break Dick out?

Treyknowles:
There is no need to bet, Black Adam will surely make money because the rock na box office king he can sell any movie.

bros, it depends oh. N0t just any m0vie. If the m0vie is shit, it w0n't.
