Putting in other main DC characters into Aquaman 2 is a great move in my mind. Aquaman is a great platform for big exposure to other characters. It is their biggest movie and Aquaman 2 will surely do great as well.

One thing that hit me in the first Shazam and that seems to continue in Shazam 2 is that Billy the kid is totally different personality wise from the adult Billy when he transforms into Shazam even though they are supposed to be the same person.

The music kills the trailer for me. Remove it completely and the trailer would have got a totally different vibe.

Is Feige's strategy to introduce the big x-men characters one by one to boost numerous films going forward?
Put Xavier in one, Wolverine in the next, then Magneto and so on. -
I think this is the weakest of the 3 MCU spidey movies. I found the story to be incredibly weak, its really just one big nostalgia trip. That said, Garfield just reminded me that hes the best spiderman by quite a bit.

No way home is delayed to 14th Jan for now in Norway, could be even longer. Our government just put forward new restrictions which will make it impossible for cinemas to really operate.

James Gunn would do very well with a Justice League Dark.

I'm pulling this out of thin air, but i think the issue with Cavill showing up in other films is that Cavill himself wants another Man of Steel.
"WB: Hello Mr Cavill, we would like to have you in Shazam 2, are you up for it?"
"Cavill: I certainly am, as soon as you can guarantee Man of Steel 2"-

I was looking forward to this. I loved the first film. But WW84 is a major letdown. VERY cheap plot. Uninteresting action, specially the final fight with cheetah. Cheetah looks fine CGI wise, but the whole scene and surroundings smells of greenscreen. And the lack of action, its just a whole lot of talking about the search for this magical plot device.
This would have done poorly at the box office under normal circumstances, but now they have an excuse for it doing poorly at least.-

If i had to choose between a MoS 2 or 5-6 "cameos" of decent size. I would take the latter. I think Superman works best when he plays off other DC characters.
-
Is this a one off movie like the Joker or a part of a trilogy? It will be the exact same as the Nolan trilogy just a different take i guess.
I would have preferred that this was in some kind of larger universe, it doesnt need cameos or references at all, but just knowing that it takes place in the DCEU.
Although, a different earth isnt something the Flash cant fix. As we have seen on CW. -
it says surprise dc comics panel, probably something comic related? hope im wrong though

Wait so, basically the same as last episode of the CW Flash season 1?

I think BoP is the type of CBM that needs a proper shared universe with an overarching story. Unknown characters except for Harley. Low budget, trailers that didnt impress many at all. On it's own it just doesnt have the draw. It has a "B" movie feeling over it.
I think many CBM fans just feels like they can miss this one without missing anything important. This is where MCU films are so good, even a "small" MCU film would drive the overarching story forward and people felt like they cant miss out on it.-

Dr Fate hype! Hes the coolest character in DC. So glad too finally see him on the big screen if rumors are true.

Joker performance is absolutely insane. It is however a little worrisome that you need to slap "Joker" on a movie like this for people to even give a chance. Change the title and change a couple of names, and you would have a movie that would do like what... 150million WW?
It just goes to show how powerful the comic book brand is nowadays.-

Good holds here in Norway too -28% from first weekend. It's already equal with Captain Marvel and FFH totals after 2nd weekend. Will reach number 3 so far this year behind TLK and Endgame. It wont reach those two, but still, crushing FFH and Captain Marvel is insane.

I cant help but wonder if this Joker was the first Joker on screen after TDK how much it would have made. Did Suicide Squad's Joker help or work against this. I feel without SS this would have made even more bonkers money on OW.

So i'm not the most knowledgeable in X-Men lore. But whats the deal with the Phoenix force. So we know from Apocalypse that Jean already has the Phoenix force in her.
What was the thing that went into Jean in this movie? Was it supposed to be Dark Phoenix? Are they 2 different entities? Or did they just retcon apocalypse and she just now got the Phoenix force. And if so, why is it inherently a bad/hostile thing.
From my understanding Dark Phoenix is the Phoenix force that has been twisted somehow. -
This would bomb hard if it wasnt for Gunn directing. I just dont see the general audience giving Suicide Squad another chance. We will see if Gunn fans/MCU fans going to this to support him.
-
I wonder what Cameron is going to say when his avatar gets beat by Endgame. Hes gonna fire some subtle shots for sure.
-
im getting more and more excited for this.

aww, so close to my 61 previews and 312 OW prediction

DCU just needs to buckle down and make good movies. The box office wont be all that at the start, but putting out good movies after good movies,, which will hopefully make more poeple to go the cinema to see them. And if they are planning some big event movies down the line and with enough good movies under the belt maybe it could be something great at the bo.
I'm just scared that if Superman Legacy and Brave and the Bold dont make enough money they will scrap the whole thing, even if the movies themselves are good. I just dont see the DCU is going to be given enough time before its scrapped.
