DING DONG The DCEU is DEAD

Started by Darth Thor5 pages

Nah think hes just going for his first year as Superman like with Matt Reeves The Batman.

Could also have just been a justification as to why theyre not using Cavill.

Apparently Cavill is going into doing a live action Warhammer.

Yeah. Certainly didnt take long for him to find something else, but figured he would.

Guess the question now is what be next for Dwayne, since he and Henry apparently have the same agent which was how he was able to get him back as Superman before WB pulled the plug again.

His short-lived career as Black Adam is kinda unfortunate after how much he hyped it, but with the bland writing the film had, it wasnt gonna do all that well anyway.

^ BA flopping might have been the last straw for WB before giving Gunn the green light for a full on reboot.

But yeah both actors will be fine. I wouldnt worry for them. Technically Cavill is still the Witcher too as hes playing him for Season 3. If he really wants im sure he could stay on for S4, but as you already pointed out he probably doesnt want that.

DC fans however would generally like something better than this DCEU. And the current version clearly isnt attracting a wider audience either.

I bet Rock Johnson is crying in a corner now that his chances for Black Adam 2 are dead.

Word is Amazon is buying a ****ton of rights to make Warhammer stuff, and Cavill has already confirmed he's executive producer on at least one show/movie. **** it, why not.

God Emperor of Man?

Could be. We won't know just yet. A lot of people want him to be Ciaphas Cain, but as the man himself is a massive Warhammer fan, I can't blame him if he decides he wants to play the Emperor.

👆 I do like Henry.

Amazon's record on adaptations is pretty bad. But the fact that Cavill is a big fan and is an EP of the show gives me hope.

He was a fan of The Witcher too. Netflix didn't give a shit. Amazon will be even less inclined to.

I really want a proper WH40K show.

Caville would also make a great Ultramarine.

For those of you for have hardons for Caville's good looks, imagine a 7.5 foot ultra-massively muscled Caville in power armor.

Sure. But like I said, he's apparently an executive producer on this. Which should give him some level of control. But maybe I'm just lying to myself.

Since Amazon secured the rights to all WH40K film, TV and video games, means they have the guy who created this gem under their employ as well. They'd be stupid not to use him.

YouTube video

Here's the same video with audio explanation, for the uninitiated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrmJqY788Fc

Such a shame. I would have loved to see a Man of Steel 2, a Wonder Woman 3, a Batman with Ben Affleck, Andy Serkis, and J.K. Simmons, an Aquaman franchise (especially now with Namor being in the MCU), and a continuance of the Shazam/Black Adam franchise (which were both amazing films). Can't say that I will miss Peacemaker but I will miss Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Waller, and the possibilities they had with the Suicide Squad.

IDK what's going to be next. I hope this doesn't effect the HBO MAX shows, because those are awesome..I hear they're recasting Cavill into some future role, possibly Ben Affleck as well, and I heard rumors of Jason Momoa being Lobo which is probably the best thing to come out of this although I will still miss his Aquaman (which was definitely a great movie on par with the first Thor film). I guess I'm just angry about Cavill. They brought him back just to fire him? WTF??? Oh well. We got a DC Cinematic Tabula Rasa so let's see where this goes. While the writing was all over the place, I loved the DCEU and I will sincerely miss it

Masochist through and through, I see.

IF what I read is true, then I understand why Cavill was fired.. also Momoa is done but he returns as Lobo

Might as well start the hypotheticals.

Pick your actors for the new versions of the DCEU bunch plus any additional DC characters and villains.

I think I've really only got big names tbh.

I've personally always wanted Jon Hamm as Batman. He'd have to put on some muscle and be de-aged a bit. Dude has the perfect voice/presence though, and he could pull off the billionaire playboy thing without issue.

I wouldn't mind Nikolaj Coster Waldau as Barry Allen (he'd have to be de-aged a bit too). He's blonde (more dirty blonde) like Barry and has the jaw to fill out the mask, is a great actor, and would shake the skinny jokester idiot speedster stereotype Wally popularized (I'm still not over what X-men did to Quicksilver). Barry doesn't act like that. Make Barry respectable, whoever he is.

Not sure where to go with Supes after Cavill.

If the rumors of them wanting a younger Supes is true, idk. I'd assume that applies to most of the JL then. All of my JL fancastings are older.

Probably going for a New 52 with the JL members all being fairly new to the Superhero biz.

I assume the Justice League Batman wont have Solo films because of Pattinson.

Im also guessing they wont be bringing in a rebooted Shazam to the team anytime soon. So this reboot is already starting with issues.

But at least we get a new Flash.

Anyway Im guessing theyll start this with Blue Beetle next year. But theyll have to make sure it’s clear hes not DCEU.

Im also guessing Green Lantern will play a major part this time around.

The Rock confirms himself he's out as Black Adam

LOL
