There's an Amazons spinoff movie currently in development. Patty already talked about it. But doesn't know who's gonna direct.

Xavier5:
You're right but if you look like at it the reason why WW movies haven't been produced in the present is the same reason why no Justice League sequel, Superman sequel and Batman movie has been produced.

WB/DC are rebooting the universe, so they're waiting for that to officially happen to create this movies. They want to prepare the ground first before they start planting. After The Flash and it's reboot, you will start seeing this movies.

WW3 according to Patty will take place in the present but the universe has to be rebooted first, the ground has to be leveled. That's why I'm not actually worried or agitated over the fact that there's no Superman sequel, Justice League Sequel and Batman movie in the DCEU because I understand what WB/DC are trying to do. These guys don't want to produce this films considering the fact that;

* they're rebooting the universe
*These films exert great purpose and influence in the franchise and producting them when you're in the process of a reboot is going to result in lots of complications. So the best thing to do is hold on first, reboot the universe, before you produce. That's one of the reasons WW84 wasn't set in the present.

But as I said, WW3 will be set in the present. An Amazons movie is in the plans with Patty producing. This movie will be set between WW84 and WW3 which from the look of things will be in the present because she said the movie will be set very close to WW3 and will be directly connected to it.

For me I think WW and WW84 is about the Steve Trevor Story Arc while Amazons and WW3 will be about a major crisis which will begin from Amazon and end in WW3. The presence of Lydia Carter's Asteria (who will definitely be in Amazons) in the DCEU and Nubia's (who will definitely be in Amazons also) rumour in WW3 points to something big cooking up.

According to Patty, the WW story arc is a four movie one: WW, WW84, Amazons and WW3.

DC fans are loosing their marbles online after Gail's reveal.

Secret Six tease.... Or maybe Birds of Prey.

They can't start reshooting Ezra's scenes...the movie is almost done so just use a double/lookalike and complete it first and then recast for future projects

AnfieldFan:
You can't reshoot every scene Ezra appears in by CGI, building sets require money, transportation and logistics require money, tax files and City permits all take time..Bypassing all these by using CGI kills the film's practical effects.
Again, film's don't do reshoots, when everything's done, the scenes that need to be cut are cut in Post production...
A director shoots everything that should be shot during filming, then reshoots happen if there are additional scenes to be added maybe due to different developments, reshoots mainly happen in CBM's too...
Flash wrapped since last year, reshoots are simply not possible...

Xavier5:
So everything boils down to political correctness and sentiments. WONDERFUL.

"Johnny Depp was fired so he should be fired"
"It's unfair, if he was a black or if it was a black man he would have been fired. So he should be fired"
"If they could do what they did to Ray Fisher, he shouldn't be exempted. He should be fired"
"If they could hold on on Batfleck during his alcoholic issues, then they should fire Ezra because of this"
"If he wasn't Jewish or it wasn't a Jew that was involved, they would have fired him, so they should fire him"
"If it was a Muslim or Arab, they would have fired him. So fire the mother fvcker"

And on and on and on, the sentiments and political correctness drag on, which to me is BULL SHIT.

As I've earlier said, everything boils down to the nature of things in the production process and arena. If it requires a recast, then they should do that ASAP. If it doesn't, then they shouldn't, they should go with him in the movie and recast him for future projects.

If the production is done and they're no plans for reshoot, then what's the essence for recasting him. Instead of wasting unnecessary time, energy, resource and money. The Ideal thing to do is for WB to recast him for future projects and announce that publicly, not only that, they should also publicly condemn and di-associate themselves from his acts. Also they should use him less during promotion, they're other actors to use, A-list for that matter. There's Keaton, there's Ben Affleck, there's even Sasha. With this they'll wriggle themselves out of the controversies.

So with the above, there's no way the Flash BO performance will be affected because;

*WB have or would have recasted the character for future projects and make it known publicly.
*WB have or would have publicly condemn and di-associate themselves from him.
*Use him less during promotion and rather use Keaton, Affleck and even Sasha more. This is the strategy that James Wan is using in promoting Aquaman. He's using Jason, Patrick, Yahya more and Amber less.
*Besides there's no how people will hate or not see the film all because of Miller when they're other fan favourites in the persons of Affleck and Keaton. I even heard that Cavil, Gadot, Zachary Levi, Gustin and lennix (Martian Manhunter) will be making appearances. So why will the movie be affected all because of Miller when all this fan favourites are present. And aside that, the director, Andy, has good standing with the public.

But if the movie isn't done with production yet and they're plans to reshoot it, then they should recast. That's it.

Everything boils down to the nature of things in the production process and arena. Shikina. We can't just be making assumptions here, when we don't really knows what goes on behind the scenes.

The flash finished filming since last year...No reshoots...Most movies don't do reshoots...
What you're asking for is for WB to basically reshoot The flash with a new actor which will cost them around 200m more...
How is it feasible?
The only solution is to recast him after the Flash since the Flash is DC's entry to the multiverse...

Silentgroper:
What are we going to do about konate.. Btw, is matip injured?? ..




He needs to start upping his game ..


We can't be having fvck ups like for that Nunez goal...

Xavier5:
It shouldn't just be about recasting Ezra. The question should be, what are the nature of things in the production process and arena? Is it one that requires a recast or not? If the nature of things requires recasting, then they should do it but if the if doesn't, they should let him be the Flash in the film and then recast him for future projects.

For example, if they're done shooting and there's no plan for a reshoot, why should they recast Miller and shoot his scene with the new actor? That will just be unnecessary waste of time, energy, resources and money. In such a case, they should just go with him as the Flash and recast him for future projects.

But if it's a case where they're not done with the movie or they have plans for intensive reshoot, not just any kind of reshoot but intensive one, then they can or should recast him.

So everything boils down to the nature of things in the production process and arena. It's not just something we can just say they should recast or not.

That’s like reshooting the whole of the movie when filming is already completed. They can just recast his role if there is going to be a sequel.

pu7pl3:
if the film is almost completed I think they should use a double and then somehow recast him for future films

pu7pl3:
They probably want him to bring his own audience

Xavier5:
So because someone left means Geff should also leave just for the sake of leaving. The person tha left, do we know the circumstances that sorrounds the person leaving.

If Geff is doing a good Job with his position, why change him? Leave the modafvcker there in the comic division and restrict his power and influence in WB, DC Entertainment and DC Films, shikina.

As I've earlier said, there's more than enough room in WM/WB/DC for as many as.

Keep your assets (Killar, Ann, Hamada, Toby and Geff). Restore eliminated or lost assets (Snyder and Nolan). Acquire new assets. That's the smart move, one I expect Zaslav to make.

I heard Nightwing will be in batgirl and would be played by Dylan O'Brien

Xavier5:
Where is it written that the only way to give someone a chance is to eliminate the current person.

WM/WB/DC is massive and can accommodate as many that wants and should be part of the system. You just want Geff out not because he should be out but because you just want him out which is due to the whole Snyder drama. So everything boils down to sentiments.

So instead of eliminating Geff, why don't you keep him and bring back Snyder. Don't you think both brains are needed. Why using those brains, more brains should be added. WM/WB/DC is big enough to accommodate as many as.

As I've stated, keep your assets, restore eliminated asses and expand your assets portfolio by bringing in new ones. That's a wise move rather than just eliminating people.

Also, managerial style doesn't change when you change your management rather managerial style changes due to change in the management vision and style of the head manager. You can change management and the managerial style will still be the same and you can keep your management and still change your managerial style. Why? Because change in managerial style is not dependant on the management personnel's but the vision and management style of the head manager which in this case is the CEO or President.

So you see, the change in management style will be determined by Zaslav's vision and management style and not whether he changes management or not. He is the determining factor here, not the management.

Instead of going on a house cleaning rampage, the smart thing to do is to keep the assets, bring back eliminated assets and acquire new assets.

So what I expect Zaslav to do is acquire new assets, bring back Nolan and Snyder and keep Ann, Killar, Toby, Hamada and Geff.

Under the leadership of Ann and Killar who took over in 2019 and 2020 respectively, WM/ WB made revenues of $30.4B and $35.6B in 2020 and 2021 respectively despite covid-19 and controversies, not only that, they also went on to win multiple Oscars and major awards (WB won seven fvcking Oscars in Oscars 2022, with Dune winning six and will Smith in King Richard winning one). We shouldn't also forget the tremendous growth of HBO MAX in just one year (from less than 20M subscribers in Jan 2021 to 73.8M subscribers at the end of 2021). What about the new shared universe franchises (Dune Universe, Mortal Kombat Universe and The Batman Universe) that have been launched.

Killar and Ann, I must say have done good jobs in WM/ WB despite all the controversies and covid-19. Are these the people Zaslav wants to sack? Instead of sacking them, why don't you keep them, acquire more assets and restore the eliminated or lost ones e.g Nolan and Snyder.

Geff, as I've always said and will continue to say should be left in the comic division and his power and influence should be restricted in WB, DC Entertainment and DC Films.

All these are what I expect Zaslav to do and not to go about sacking. Him choosing to sack, to me, is not a good move, not at all. I just hope it doesn't backfire.

Between eliminating an asset and keeping him while getting new ones, which one is the smart choice? The latter. Keep your assets and Increase your asset portfolio, that's the principle that governs corporations.

Besides, is there any thing in space and time that stops WB from acquiring more assets while keeping John? Nope. Is there any law that states that the only way to get more assets is to eliminate the current ones which in this case are Geff,Kilar and Ann? Nope. So why do people think that's the way to go

Someone will be tempted to bring up the Snyder's saga but before anyone think of even doing that, ask yourself this simple question, do you cut off your head simply because you're having an headache? You don't.
So is it smart for WB to eliminate an asset simply because they stupidly eliminated one (Snyder)? Definitely not. If anyone thinks otherwise, then that person is just being emotional. You should be thinking of bringing the eliminated assets back instead of eliminating the current ones all in the name of giving others a chance.
The smart thing to do is bring back the eliminated assets, keep the current assets while expanding the asset base by bringing in new ones. That's what Zaslav should do instead of sacking people anyhow. This are people that have successfully run the company amidst controversies and covid-19. This so called house cleaning isn't a smart move at all.

As for Geff, I've stated it before, keep him in the comics division but restrict his power in DC entertainment, DC films and WB. He's an asset.

They shouldn't sack this guys, to me they're like assets and they've done a good job ever since they took over in 2019 despite the covid-19 and controversies;
*HBO MAX have grown and is growing.
*WB films has been winning Oscars and other major awards.
*WM/WB has been making huge revenue despite covid-19.
*They're resetting the DCEU.
*They've expanded the DC film and animation multiverse.
*They've established additional shared universe franchises; Dune Universe, Mortal Kombat Universe, MonsterVerse.

They're not the one that made a mess of thing's, they're only trying to fix things and fixing things takes time especially in a mega corporation. It's not something that just occur overnight. We should also not forget, covid-19 caused delays in movie release otherwise we would been seeing the Rebooted DCEU now since Flash was initially slated for 2021 release but lots of movies had to be moved thanks to the pandemic.

If David Zaslav knows what he's doing he better keep those guys and rather work with them. Their achievements in the past three years are commendable.

As for Geff John, that guy is an asset, they better not let him go before the competitors get their hands on him. They should keep him in the comic division and restrict his power in DC entertainment, DC films and WB.

Will Smith can’t be cancelled for that, what he did was extreme but not that controversial.

SMUAG:
Bro, I no dey surprise o....there's nothing WB execs can't do...lolz

SMUAG:
I don't think the runtime affects its box office numbers. Reducing its time might make the movie disjointed and convoluted for better storytelling.
The number is perfect for a start, WB just needs to allow the director to continue his good work by not making (those their) panic decisions along the line.

TheKingIsHere:
The Batman would have made more if its run time wasn't too loongg
