I worry that they will shoehorn a bunch of scenes with Wonder Woman into JL that are completely unnecessary, which will make what is likely already a messy movie even messier, and in turn could even go as far as dampening some of the hype for her character and WW2.

You are giving the JL reshoots far more importance than they really have. Whedon can't do much with so little time except finish up with the editing, and maybe add a few funny jokes to lighten the mode. Aquaman actor is already done with his reshoots in JL.

JL is Snyder's movie, with Whedon polishing it up.

I don't understand how anyone can think a little girl who watched WW and was inspired by it won't want to see her in JL in November. This makes absolutely no sense to me. My niece who is 9 saw WW with a JL preview in front of it and as soon as the movie was over she said she couldn't wait for JL . I could understand the older female crowd skipping JL but if they loved WW as much as I think I have a feeling a lot of you are gonna be wrong on that front as well. 

 

I guess we'll see once November hits. 

I agree, this Wonder Woman's good reception is not going to help at all bull crap that has rarely been used when talking about Marvel movies. So good DC movies don't help the DC Universe at all but good Marvel movies do help the Marvel Universe. It's pure nonsense. Of course the majority of people who liked Wonder Woman and even people who find it later on will give Justice League a chance just because she's in it and because her movie was actually good. WB finally released a good movie DCEU movie.

 

And some people act like every single person who saw Wonder Woman only likes it because it's historic and that and none of them go out to theaters ever. That's a part of the audience not the whole audience as far as the last line is concerned. I'm telling you it's a way to downplay Wonder Woman's box office.

 

And all of this is coming from someone who is a huge critic of the DCEU. I'm very leery of the Justice League movie because I'm not sure the director can correct the most of his massive flaws.  And no I'm not predicting a billion for Justice League. As a matter of fact I'm only predicting 350 million for it domestically and maybe 500+mil internationally, because I'm assuming the reviews are going to be mediocre at best, because of Wonder Woman.

If Thor:R does well, can see a bigger demand for SM + Hulk.

Hulk is not gonna have a stand-alone. Smart usage in small doses is best.

Is he in AIW? Probably that and Homecoming2 next for him.

 

Banner is also a wise character and a scientist like IM. He tagged team on sci-fi stuff in TA with Stark.

 

Hulk makes the most sense given his lack of a solo franchise right now and he's a very well known character in pop culture. He did have a solo movie long before the other MCU characters after all. I think people would be fairly excited by seeing Spidey and Hulk on the screen together.

Okay, if you people don't get Atomic Blonde over 100 mil I'm gonna spam this place with TP MUMMY ARMY posts until you run back to the IMDB forums.

I'd say it was a double hitter of oversaturation and three bad movies.

Agreed. James Bond is just about the only franchise movie hero who seems to have considerable  immunity from the fatigue factor, But then with a 50 year ongoing history 007 ssems to be unique and breaks all the rules

Not all parents have the same disposable money and time.

 

And plenty aren't afraid to tell their kids "no" when they think a movie won't have positive messages like WW or the movie is a boring waste of time.

 

JL will have more in common with BvS than it will WW. 

 

Parents aren't dumb, they know this and if the reviews stink plenty will avoid JL like the plague.

I'm sorry, you're making major assumptions about the quality and message of JL with no evidence to back up what you're saying. 

 

And while I understand saying no to a child is fine I feel most people want to make their kids happy and would gladly take the children to see the movie they want to see.

Yeah it would be fun for sure. If Hulk is in there, gives Black Window scope to make an appearance too.

[MrPink]

Spider-Man and Ant-Man.

 

That's what I want.

[Mojoguy]

Green Goblin is played out and was ruined in ASM2, Sony isn't going to touch the character with a ten foot pole for a long time.

Doc Ock isn't going to be done any time soon, that would invite WAY too many comparisons to the universally loved SM2. These new Spidey movies don't need that.

Sony should just focus on using new Spidey villains not done in movies yet, everyone goes to these movies for Spidey not his villains anyway.

Bond also had a gap of six years from Dalton to Bronsan.  And then four from Bronsan to Craig.  So by the time he came back audiences were ready.  It also helped Goldeneye and Casino Royale are really good films

I saw Minions, Alvin 4, both Planes movies, Pets, and Ice Age 5, the new Smurfs because of babysitting my younger cousins. I even sat through Norm of The North because my little cousins wanted to see it. 

[KJsooner]

JL will do max 825 million. It's coming off the very bad BvS film which had terrible wom. I could see it being one of the lowest grossing movies this year.

Spiders and Ants and Wasps oh my!

Scorpion as the villain?

[drdungbeetle]

Meh, I wouldn't be mad at a new Doc Ock (Molina's characterization is a bit...different than the comics characterization anyway).

Norman/Harry Osborn have been done to death, even before Amazing Spidey 2 though.

[Zakiyyah6]

Can somebody give me one good reason why Atomic Blonde would do better than John Wick 2? And please don't give me that Wonder Woman comment because Wonder Woman has absolutely nothing to do with Atomic Blonde. I mean did King Arthur become a hit because it was starting a white dude just like Guardians of the Galaxy 2?

Not true. The Moore and Dalton movIes were not huge with Licence to Kill flat or bombing

If I had a family member who wanted to see Norm of the North I'd disown them, that's like an HP Lovecraft level taint of the bloodline.

IT'S SUMMER. Also Baby Driver (which is also R) is likely to go over 100 mil because it's summer.

As you all know, I had to support my Queen.

 

So, I just got back from 47 Meters Down!
