Warner Bros. Announce Upcoming DC, Lego and Harry Potter Films
CEO of film studio Warner Bros. Kevin Tsuijihara has announced their teeming-full schedule of sequels and series for the next several years.
Its DC Entertainment properties will be used to create 10 films between 2016 and 2020, as well as three new Harry Potter spin-offs and three additional Lego movies.
Earlier this year, Warner Bros announced nine untitled DC releases were scheduled for those years. Executives from the 20th Century Fox conglomerate concurrently said they were pushing the release date of the highly-anticipated "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" from May 2016 to March of that same year to avoid clashing against Marvel's "Captain America 3." Since the August announcement, some of their other projects have slipped out, such as Dwayne Johnson confirming his role in the upcoming "Shazam" movie in September.
Now, executives are revealing all 10 titles for the DC pictures. The films are evenly parsed out, with two films premiering each year beginning in 2016. They are as follows:
- "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" mentioned earlier, which will be directed by Zack Snyder and star Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in the leading roles (2016)
- "Suicide Squad," directed by David Ayer (2016)
- "Wonder Woman," starring Gal Gadot (2017)
- "Justice League Part One" directed by Snyder, with Affleck, Cavill and Amy Adams reprising their hero roles (2017)
- Recently announced "The Flash" starring Ezra Miller (2018)
- "Aquaman" starring Jason Momoa (2018)
- "Shazam" with Johnson playing Black Adam (2019)
- "Justice League Part Two," directed by Snyder (2019)
- "Cyborg" starring Ray Fisher (2020)
- "Green Lantern" (2020)
Beyond this exhaustive list, Tuijihara also mentioned that Warner Bros. is exploring three films in the mythology of J.K. Rowling's smash-hit franchise Harry Potter. These films are scheduled for release in 2016, 2018 and 2020, the first of which will be Rowling's screenwriting debut with Harry Potter director David Yates.
Over the next four years, the Lego movie franchise will expand for three more films titled "Ninjago" in 2016, "The Lego Batman Movie" in 2017 and "The Lego Movie 2" in 2018.
