So random thoughts while waiting for Marvel to start.
1. Again, really really wished WB would have brought Barbie. I know it’s a year away, but it just feels like an oversight. Even like a 2 minute BTS video. And Dune. Even if you didn’t want to bring the cast, there are ways to make Hype Videos that would have done wonders.
2 Speaking of Hype Videos… WHERE IS AVATAR? No, Seriously, cards on the table: Where the fuck is the Avatar 2 panel? I have been walking around all weekend and there are like NO Avatar t-shirts or merch or fanart or Cosplay. Avatar might be something we here on BOT talk about all the time, because we are a box office forum and it’s the biggest box office film of all time. Out in the real world, and out in fandom world, it’s kind of a dead property. Sure, the IMAX trailer is making its rounds, and Pandora in Disney World exists (but who can afford to go there anymore), but where are the trending hashtags or hype?
Bring Cameron and Zoe. Drop some footage with story/plots. Get people PSYCHED again and riled up so they are EXCITED to go watch it again on its re-release, and go watch Avatar 2.
They easily could’ve filled the Hall on with that. Make it like the marquee event on Thursday or Friday.
It just feels like such a wasted opportunity.
Can’t speak for anyone but in the Superman thread Grimm was saying WB/ discovery didn’t even want DC to be at sdcc this year cause leadership is still being figured out after the merger but The Rock wanted to do it so they sent the new line movies, I’d assume it’s probably the same reason they didn’t bring any other movies and also didn’t set up on the comic con floor like they usually do right?

David F. Sandberg said that he has no idea what the plans are for Black Adam, so I doubt he’s gonna show up in this movie, unless Sandberg is lying.
Ya, I don’t know either way, the only thing I’ve read online is the spoiler post credit scene for Black adam( if that’s even true itself).

I wonder if the events of Black Adam take place after Shazam! Fury of the Gods as you'd think the Wizard would be concerned not just with the Daughters of Atlas but also Black Adam.
I think that’s the case, ya. Maybe Black Adam shows up in a post credit scene for Shazam(or not lol).

This basically sounds like nothing is happening with cavill in the nicest way possible.

Here's something I can tell you - WB Discovery didn't want to do SDCC this year for DC because of the entire company leadership being in flux post the merger. But The Rock gets what The Rock wants. Which is why we got the bare minimum with the New Line properties.
Ya I assumed this tbh. Since we don’t really know who’s gonna be running dc studios I assume they want that to happen first before we see anymore announcements, wether it’s Hamada or whoever else they choose.

One of the few things I was genuinely confident about not happening. Maybe in 3 years' time I can go into more detail about why exactly I was so confident and didn't even hedge my predictions about him not being anywhere near the panel.
Would I have loved to be completely wrong and for Cavill to return? Hell yes. But I think that ship has sailed.
I’m happy you said what you said cause it curbed any expectations I had so thanks. Obviously I’m disappointed cause I want more Superman stuff now but it seems like you’re right about Cavill, he’s done.
Time to recast and move on.

So DC spent an entire hour discussing Shazam 2 and Black Adam.....
And literally nothing else. Wow. I hope Marvel doesn't shit the bed like that.
That’s all they said they were showing. They can’t really show anything till the flash comes out and they sure as hell weren’t showing anything from that with the Ezra situation right now.

Shazam is one of my favourite superhero movies so this is exactly what I was looking for, bigger, more action and more family stuff.

My only question about the panel today is that when Cavill doesn't show up, will that finally end the "Cavill is returning as Superman" news cycle we seem to get once every few months.
I liked MoS and he would have definitely been something special if allowed to actually take that character forward but it's been a decade since that point and a clean break might benefit everyone.
I know this is probably what’s happening but man I can’t say I’m not disappointed we haven’t got anything really on film with Superman lately. I love the TV show but I can’t lie, as hesitant as I was when I first saw the Cavill news earlier in the week I was still pretty hopeful it might actually happen lol.

I’m not expecting Cavill to ever return, but the idea of him coming back and fighting the Rock is just about the only thing that I think would justify keeping the DCEU around at this stage. The only things this franchise seems to have going for it are Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and I guess Margot Robbie, but we’re already seeing cracks in those.
My personal opinion is that they should just focus on Matt Reeves’ Batman universe and getting a new Superman off the ground. The DCEU just feels like it’s limping along at this point.
I think people feel like this cause the Flash hasn’t released yet, once that happens they can start moving things along. I’m still thinking something happens and the flash and Aquaman switch dates, but we’ll see.

If he shows up, then something MEGA happened in literally the last 24 hours. I wish I could go into why I am confident in him not being anywhere close (I like my job too much to even try and break an NDA), but literally everything till close of business today doesn't point anywhere near it.
I trust what you’re saying, I just think it’s really sad that all these rumours got started and when it doesn’t happen social media is gonna be so toxic.

I’d say they managed to win Comic Con back in 2013, when they announced that they were making a Batman and Superman movie. That was a big deal.
I guess ya, didn’t turn out to well for them though lol.

He's not showing up. The panel will just be the Shazam and Black Adam casts, trailers for them, possibly the first official picture of Blue Beetle and an overall sizzle reel to start. Nothing more than that.
You’re all in on him not being anywhere near that panel lol, I love how confident you are.
It’s gonna be brutal tomorrow when the panel ends and he’s nowhere to be found.
