Justice League is an upcoming super hero movie based on the superhero characters of DC Comics, known collectively as The Justice League. It is slated for a 2017 release.
Production History
Although Christopher Nolan was rumored to be directing Justice League,[1] Nolan himself ruled it out, but will likely produce the film. In June 2012, Will Beall was hired to write the screenplay for a Justice League film, in which Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman would be the main characters.[2][3] Warner Bros. announced plans for the Justice League film to have a summer 2015 release date to compete with the sequel to The Avengers, though they have yet to complete a script or officially hire a director.[4]
Man of Steel director Zack Snyder stated, “I don’t know how ‘Justice League’ is going to be handled. Honestly, I don’t. But ‘The Man of Steel’ exists, and Superman is in it. I don’t know how you’d move forward without acknowledging that,” during an interview with the New York Post in November 2012. He also claimed that Warner Bros. expects him to "keep them on course" as regards to their cinematic universe.[5] The Superman villain Darkseid is rumored to be the main antagonist.
Recently rumors have started to hint that many Justice League scenes will more or less be shot back to back with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Cast
Denzel Washington has been rumored to being considered for the part of the Green Lantern as DC's Jon Stewart character. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has confirmed that he will play a future DC role which has been rumored to be the villain Darkseid. The villain Doomsday was referenced in the extra content on the DVD release of Man of Steel, suggesting he may be a possible villain as well.
