Despite a horrendous Rotten Tomatoes rating of 0%, the sensual thriller 365 Days and its sequel, 365 Days: This Day, are hugely popular on Netflix. Ever since the second film released on Netflix, fans have been wondering about 365 Days 3. But will it ever happen after such reviews and ratings? Let us find that out here-
Will There Be 365 Days 3?
The sequel of Netflix’s erotic thriller 365 Days, titled 365 Days: This Day, premiered on Netflix on April 27, 2022. And unfortunately, it has not been received well by the critics and the audience. Meanwhile, talking about the third part of the movie, we know that Netflix has already confirmed that there will be a 365 Days 3. The credit for the third film goes to the immense popularity and high viewership the first two parts have garnered on Netflix. Although, as of now, there is no information available about the production or the release date of the film. But we do know that it will premiere sometime in 2023.
What’s Next For Masimo After Anna’s Death?
The finale of ‘365 Days This Day’ put the characters in a state of shock. Adriano, Massimo’s mysterious, similar twin brother, hardly got time to leave an impact before being shot and murdered in the sequel’s finale. In the meantime, his sweetheart, Massimo’s ex-girlfriend Anna, may have been shot in the same firefight. Laura’s narrative, however, did not finish with her being shot.
Instead, the narrative from the third novel, in which she heals and goes away with Nacho, is set up by this big twist of the first 365 Days sequel. In the next movie, Massimo kidnaps her once more in an attempt to rekindle their romance. Massimo murdered her dog in the story, which is reminiscent of a scene from Wuthering Heights. However, likely, Netflix will carefully cut that particular event from its version.
Laura is expected to heal from her injuries in ‘365 Days 3’ and may begin to reconsider her life. Nacho may reemerge, convincing Laura that a relationship can be passionate without violence and control. Massimo has the option of launching a vengeance against those accountable for the tragedy.
Who Will Star In The Movie?
Netflix’s 365 Days This Day stars Anna-Maria Sieklucka in the role of Laura Biel, Michele Morrone playing Don Massimo Torricelli, and his twin Adriano Torricelli. Meanwhile, the cast also includes Magdalena Lamparska as Olga, Otar Saralidze enacting Domenico. Simone Susinna playing Nacho, and Natasza Urbańska as Anna.
Other cast members in the series are Grażyna Szapołowska as Klara Biel, Tomasz Stockinger as Tomasz Biel. Some characters did not see the end of the first and the second film. However, we expect most of the main cast members to appear in 365 Days 3 when the movie is released. On the other hand, we can also expect some new characters coming on to the scene.
In 2020 Sony Pictures released Monster Hunter starring Milla Jovovich in the lead role. However, the film not only failed miserably at the post-pandemic box office but was also lashed by the critics. However, the fans of the game franchise still hope that a worthy sequel can save make amends. But will there be Monster Hunter 2? Let’s find out!
Monster Hunter is a movie adaptation of Capcom’s popular Monster Hunter video game series. The film stars Jovovich as Artemis, the captain of a US military unit that is transported to a new world. This world is filled with giant creatures and terrifying monsters that they must navigate in order to find their way back home.
The Monster Hunter movie is different in terms of tone and narrative from the source material. The movie picks up characters from the game and puts them in a different storyline. As a result, many fans feel that the fantasy element of the film has been undermined.
Will There Be Monster Hunter 2?
The first Monster Hunter film was released on December 4, 2020. And sadly, the first movie failed to make its mark among the audience and critics. The film, made with a budget of about 60 million US dollars, could only earn 45 million dollars on Box office. But we know the potential the franchise has because of its abundance of the source material. As of now, there is no official update about the second film happening in the near future. But we should not completely rule out Monster Hunter 2.
Who Will Return For Monster Hunter 2?
The cast of the first Monster Hunter film features Resident Evil fame Milla Jovovich in the role of US Army Ranger, Natalie Artemis, Tony Jaa as Hunter, and Ron Perlman as The Admiral. The film also stars Tip Harris as Lincoln, Meagan Good playing Dash, Josh Helman appearing as Steeler, and Jin Au-Yeung essays Axe.
Meanwhile, the film also stars Hirona Yamazaki as Handler, Jannik Schümann as Aiden, Nanda Costa playing Lea, Nic Rasenti as Captain Roark, and Aaron Beelner portraying Palico. Since the majority of the cast members were alive at the end of the first film, we can expect them to return in the sequel Monster Hunter 2. On the other hand, there might also be some new characters in the second film, as per the demand of the story.
Monsters Hunter 2: What Could Happen Next?
The final scene of Monster Hunter indicates that the main animals can travel to the New World. Artemis goes back into her original world after a bad fall and is rescued by her military mates. Sadly for the soldiers, one of the film’s titular antagonists completely dominates them. Artemis, The Hunter, and The Admiral finish Monster Hunter by attacking a monster that has crossed across into the New World.
Furthermore, a mid-credits sequence shows a mysterious creature sneaking on top of the Sky Tower. This implies that the character will play the role of the antagonist in Monster Hunter 2. The strange Tower will surely be the center of attention in the sequel. Also discussed are the lessons Artemis and company can take away from their cross-over experiences. Monster Hunter 2 will have bigger and badder monsters, and Jovovich’s character will be even more ruthless.
Coco 2: Pixar Studio’s Coco was released in November 2017, right around the time when much anticipated DCEU Justice League was released. And the film managed to do what can only be called a surprise. It left behind DC’s Justice League in terms of Box office collection. Even though Pixar is known to take a long time to make a movie, the time taken to make Coco has certainly been long.
The movie follows Miguel as he tries to pursue his dream of music despite the ban on music in his family. In his journey, he finds himself in the land of the dead. The film has been a massive hit. And since the release, fans are waiting for Coco 2.
Will There Be Coco 2?
Unfortunately, neither Disney nor Pixar have issued an official announcement about “Coco 2.” Similarly, no one affiliated with the 2017 animated film “Coco,” including co-directors Adrian Molina and Lee Unkrich, has said that a sequel is in the works. Part of this may be related to COVID-19 epidemic delays, productions of all genres in both films. And television has been impacted since March 2020.
Pixar also appears to be very selective in which of their films they consider worthy of a sequel to an original story. Even if “Coco 2” begins production this year, it will take long to reach theaters because Pixar can take several years to conceive and produce their animated feature films. If a sequel to “Coco” is made, it won’t be for at least a few years. For the time being, you can watch “Coco” on Disney+.
Coco 2: What Could Happen Next?
The first film ended on a happy note, as do almost other animated films, with Miguel returning to the living world. First, however, Hector’s legacy must be restored, and he must reunite with his great-great-grandmother, Imelda. Finally, the video concludes with him performing for all of his living and deceased relatives, lifting his family’s music restriction. The film’s incidents occur during the renowned Mexican celebration Da de Muertos. And it’s on this foundation that the creators constructed the film’s spirit.
It’s possible that the sequel will pick up a few years after the first movie’s events. Miguel’s baby sister could be out on her own musical explorations, with Miguel relegated to the role of mentor. However, this would necessitate a substantial time shift in the film, perhaps five to six years. Which, coincidentally, is also how long the second ‘Coco’ film would take to make. Counting backward from the original release date.
If the time shift isn’t substantial, which is more likely, Miguel might return as the protagonist, starting on a fresh voyage to the world of the dead to reunite with his elder family. Gonzales, of course, is hoping to reprise his part in the future. Even if Disney hasn’t officially confirmed it. Regardless of the direction, the sequel takes Miguel and his sister’s bond. Whether grown-up or not should be inspiring to witness.
The Luxo Ball!
Pixar studio has always been known to put easter eggs and references in its films about their other projects. This gives all the Pixars movies a sense of connectivity. Anyone who has paid enough attention must have spotted references like the Pizza Planet Truck.
However, Coco fans have had to keep a closer a little closer at the details to see that trademark Luxo Ball. It was, in fact, kept hidden in the land of the dead. We can spot during a background scene when Frida Alebrije is leaping around. The Easter egg is so small that you can easily miss it in the blink of an eye, but it sure is there.
Ancient Civilisation
We are not completely sure of how long it has exactly been to the afterlife system. Whereas it can be said that it was present there ever since people’s deaths started. Meanwhile, we can get a sense of the age of the place through some of the architecture, though. Some of the earliest designs used to connect the bridge of bright leaves seem like it has an Aztec origin. Knowing this is an age-old culture does indicate the fact that the day of the dead has been there for hundreds of years.
When we all were bound to the vicinity of our homes due to the ongoing pandemic, Netflix released the supernatural action flick The Old Guard in July 2020. And fans were blown away by the edge-of-the-seat action and the grippingly new concept of the film. The first movie ended on a cliffhanger note teasing the possibility of The Old Guard 2. However, It has been more than one and a half years. But we are still waiting for The Old Guard 2. So, let’s find out what we know about the sequel movie.
Will There Be The Old Guard 2?
The Old Guard landed on Netflix on July 10, 2020. The film received critical acclaim and audience admiration upon its release on the OTT platform. Based on the above, Netflix officially announced The Old Guard 2 in August 2021. Thus, we can be sure about seeing more of the adventures of Andy, Nile, and the others.
Netflix
As of now, the official release date for the action flick is not revealed by Netflix. But there were some reports that the production of the movie is likely to begin from early 2022. Since 2022 is here already, it remains to be found how much truth these reports hold. But if the reports are true, then considering the time required for filming and production. We can say that the movie may arrive in early 2023.
The Old Guard 2: What Will Happen Next?
Netflix’s ‘The Old Guard’ is inspired by the eponymous comic books Greg Rucka. The sequel comic book is titled ‘The Old Guard Two: Force Multiplied. As the first film was tied close to the original source material. Thus, it seems likely that the sequel will also follow the second book in the comic series. Based on the conclusion of the first film, we can assume that The Old Guard 2 will delve into the dynamics among the group.
Netflix
Nothing much is out about the plot of “The Old Guard 2“. But the first film’s ending teased the return of Quynh. As far as we know, she is looking to get her revenge. Quynh was drowned in the ocean, where she kept suffering for centuries. At the end of the first movie, she showed up at Booker’s house. And she did not seem happy about the fact that there are more immortal individuals just like her. The way she introduced herself by saying, “Booker. It’s nice to finally meet you.” seemed fishy.
Netflix
In the next film, Quynh will also learn that Andy is not immortal anymore, like the rest of them. That’s a massive vulnerability in the squad’s usual resilient nature. Meanwhile, we also expect The Old Guard 2 to provide us with some details about the immortality of the characters.
Venom 3: The last quarter of 2021 has been memorable for the Spiderman fans. Sony picture’s Venom 2, starring Tom Hardy, was released in October of 2021. Meanwhile, Spiderman 3: No Way Home also hit the theatres in December 2021. And the post-credit scene of the movie revealed that Hardy’s Eddie Brock was in the same universe as Tom Holland’s Spidey. However, at the end of the post-credit, we witnessed him transported back into his reality.
Before 2018, the idea of a solo movie for Venom with Spiderman seemed like stupidity. But after the commercial success of the first venom movie in 2018, Sony Pictures Studios have been planning to create a cinematic universe around the Spiderman characters. Taking a step forward in the plan, Sony scheduled the release of Mobius in July 2020 but had to be delayed due to the pandemic. Then in 2021, Venom 2 was released, which turned out to be a success. Thus, another part of the story, Venom 3, is highly anticipated.
Venom 3: Production Details And Release Date!
After the release of Venom 2: Let There Be Carnage, the fans started hoping for a third movie in the franchise. And after the success of the two films, Venom, 3 is a very real possibility. According to reports we have, it seems like fans are up for a treat. Amy Pascal, the producer of Spiderman films, lately sat down for an interview. During her conversation, while being asked about Venom 3, Pascal responded, “We are in the planning stages right now but what we are focused on is getting everybody to come and see No Way Home.”
Her answer hints that Sony Pictures have Venom 3 in the scheme of things. Although the movie is in the very initial stages, we can assume that Tom Hardy coming back as Eddie Brock and Venom is definitely in the cards. As of now, there is no release date for Venom 3. Sony Pictures already have Jared Leto Starrer Morbius lined up for the 2022 release. Thus, fans have to wait for a little more for Venom 3.
Will Fans See Andrew Garfield In Venom 3?
Sony
Spiderman Now Way Home brought back the past two versions of Spiderman played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. The movie established that all three Spidermen are still active in their respective universes. Thus, ever since its release, many fans have been speculating that the next venom movie or may bid the two iconic characters against each other. Ever since Tom Holland’s Spiderman entered the MCU, Sony decided to leave alone other Spidermen to avoid the audience’s confusion. But No Way Home’s storyline has solved this problem for Sony Pictures.
Another hint supporting the theory is in a scene from No Way Home when Toby and Tom brag about fighting aliens. But poor Andrew, who has never fought extraterrestrial nemesis, expressed his wish to fight an alien. This might have been foreshadowing for the fate of the character. If this happens, then Sony can use Spiderman for their universe other than MCU’s Spiderman.
Things did not really work out among Zack Snyder and Warner Bros for Snyderverse in DCEU. Thus, Zack has created his own zombieverse on Netflix with Army Of The Dead and Army Of Thieves. Both the films were absolute visual treats for action buffs and Zack’s fans. However, fans like us are quite greedy, and we are already waiting for Army Of Thieves 2 to explore more the world Snyder has created on the silver screen. But is it really happening? Well, here is everything we know about it.
When Is Army Of Thieves 2 Coming?
The prequel to Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead, titled Army of Thieves, premiered on Netflix on October 21, 2021. The film managed to make its special place in the hearts of the audience. Some even called it better than its predecessor. On the other hand, the movie also garnered a decent critical response.
Meanwhile, as far as Army of Thieves 2 is concerned, we know that Zack Snyder is working towards creating his own zombieverse on Netflix. According to reports, Snyder has already planned the third movie in the Zombie franchise. But it is not titled Army Of Thieves 2. Rather it will be called Planet Of The Dead. But wouldn’t really mind that as far as the film stands up to expectation in terms of story and action sequences.
Regarding the release schedule of the film, it might take a little longer than we expect. Zack is currently working on his another project Rebel Moon since the beginning of 2022. Therefore, Planet of The Dead (or Army of Thieves 2) is currently on the back burner and will begin production once Zack finishes his ongoing project, which might be early to mid-2023.
Where Did Robot Zombies Come From?
Despite being a predecessor to Army of the Dead, Army of Thieves concentrates on Dieter and Wagner’s safes. It doesn’t go into detail concerning the origins of the robot zombies from the first film. According to the director Zack Snyder, some of the undead in Army of the Dead with luminous eyes are really cyborg zombies. It’s obvious that these mechanical zombies are part of the US government’s intentions to weaponize the illness. There are still no definitive explanations as to how, where, or why the mechanical zombies came into being. This enigma could be solved in the third film.
Why Fans Love Sebastian In Army Of Thieves?
Dieter was a weary bank employee called Sebastian before joining the Army of the Dead theft crew. His preoccupation with opening safes, on the other hand, makes him stand out in his everyday life. Despite the fact that he was only a supporting character in the previous film, he makes for an excellent lead in the Army of Thieves.
While it’s entertaining to see characters in heist films that are ultra-cool and self-assured, such as George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven, Sebastian is a refreshingly different take on the genre’s protagonist. Throughout the story, he is a worried and fearful character. When he’s in front of a safe, he transforms into an artist. It makes him vulnerable, which makes him a more interesting character to follow along with on this wild voyage.
The Bravest of Thieves!
Gwendoline is the group’s fierce and intelligent strategist, who is more interested in the excitement than the wealth. She is a young fugitive who is also an accomplished pickpocket and a proficient fighter, ready for any eventuality.
Gwendoline is by far the bravest of her group’s members. She is the only one who is willing and capable of charging headlong into trouble without losing her composure. In the end, she’s more than willing to take the blame if it means Sebastian can avoid Interpol detention, even though she does not always use her bravery for good. She is undoubtedly the bravest of the group. And fans look forward to seeing more of her in Army Of Thieves 2.
The last movie of the Harry Potter franchise was released in 2011. Since then, the admirers of the ‘Wizarding World’ have been waiting for something equally as grand as Harry Potter. Fantastic Beasts’ first two films in the spinoff franchise have not been up to the mark. However, the early reviews of Fantastic Beasts The Secrets Of Dumbledore are surprisingly positive. Let us check out what the third movie has in for us-
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore Early Reviews!
The third part of the Harry Potter Spinoff franchise titled Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is set to release in theatres on April 8, 2022. Meanwhile, on March 29, the film was premiered at a special screening for critics in London. And from what we know so far, it seems like that franchise has managed to right its wrongs.
After the disappointing second part, ‘The Crimes of Grindelwald‘, the expectations were not very high for the third film. However, the movie has received exceedingly favorable reviews from the critics present at the screening. Most of the critics agreed that the upcoming Fantastic Beasts 3 is better than the last part.
#FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore is an improvement on the sequel, even if it only fleetingly recaptures the magic. Mads Mikkelsen is a huge upgrade, but the MVP is Jessica Williams's Lally. It's just overstuffed and unsure if it's a Beasts film or a Harry Potter film. pic.twitter.com/65HeyIgeXb
Digital Spy’s Ian Sandwell wrote on his Twitter, “FantasticBeastsTheSecretsOfDumbledore is an improvement on the sequel, even if it only fleetingly recaptures the magic.

Perri Nemiroff from Collider Tweeted, Secrets Of Dumbledore is a big bounce back for the #FantasticBeasts series for me! Back to enjoying the group dynamic & caring about the main mission.

Longest Movie Of The Franchise Yet!
The official run time of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts films has been confirmed. The British Board for Film Classification disclosed that the film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is 2 hours and 16 minutes, making it the longest movie in the franchise. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore picks up where the second film left off, with the wicked wizard Gellert Grindelwald continuing to recruit his disciples. While Albus Dumbledore is still afraid to stop the dark wizard himself.
Is Professor McGonagall Alive At The Time Of Fantastic Beasts 3?
Minerva McGonagall’s official age has been being a matter of debate depending on varying sources. McGonagall revealed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that she has been teaching at Hogwarts for 39 years. J.K. Rowling has stated that she began teaching at the age of 21. The Order of the Phoenix, on the other hand, is set in 1995. Her year of birth would be 1935. Yet, in Fantastic Beasts 2, a young Minerva McGonagall is shown teaching at Hogwarts.
It makes her a lot older than what was previously thought to be canon. The movie will explain whether this was just a plot hole or whether there was a reason behind it. Also, by the end of the Fantastic Beasts series, Minerva is still alive. But how old would she have been at the time? It is, however, impossible to tell for sure.
Fantastic Beasts 3: What’s Next For Newt?
The official synopsis of the upcoming Fantastic Beasts movie is already out. As per the synopsis, the film will follow Hogwarts Headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore, trying to stop his former friend and dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald from taking control of the wizarding world.
However, because of the blood pact between the two, he can’t fight Grindlewald alone. Therefore, he will seek help from his trusted magizoologist Newt Scamander and a valiant group of wizards and witches. As they battle Grindelwald’s growing horde of followers, they confront a variety of ancient and new animals.
Lately, the 1986 Top Gun sequel film was delayed for three long years, thanks to the pandemic. But now, fans would be thrilled to know that Top Gun: Maverick is all set to premiere in a couple of months. The film was originally set to release on July 12, 2019. However, the premiere was postponed so that the production could work out all the complex sequences. The film suffered more delays due to COVID-19 and scheduling conflicts.
While the fans eagerly wait for the action-drama film’s release, reporter James LaPorta has pointed out some discrepancies in the uniforms that have been used in Top Gun: Maverick. However, the movie was made under the close supervision of the US military, which allowed the production crew access to the military bases and the fighter aircraft which will feature in the movie.
The film follows Test pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, who dodges an advancement in rank on purpose after 30 years of service. One fine that Maverick is called and put in charge of training a bunch of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission. Maverick is ordered by his fellow Naval Aviator friend and his former nemesis Tom “Iceman” Kazansky. Iceman is now a four-star Admiral and serves as the US Naby Pacific Fleet Commander. They are joined by Maverick’s late best friend’s son, Lt. Bradley Rooster” Bradshaw, and Radar Intercept Officer, Lt. Nick “Goose” Bradshaw. But what is this uniform fiasco? Keep reading ahead to find out!
James LaPorta Pointed Out The Inconsistencies In Iceman and Cyclone’s Uniforms
The Top Gun creators and cast have worked closely with the US Navy to portray the aviators realistically. However, James LaPorte from the wardrobe department might have missed a trick with the ribbons on uniforms. LaPorte pointed out that the ribbons were out of order and made no sense for the characters.
I know for a fact that the @USNavy was involved in helping to make @TopGunMovie – I have the #FOIA docs. I’m wondering why the military advisor and the wardrobe department are out of sync. These ribbons are out of order and make no sense for the characters. Ribbons tell a story. pic.twitter.com/OybMPLUJ0C
For instance, Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, Commander of the Pacific Fleet now, was seen wearing two Meritorious Service medals in an official picture. He also had two Sea Service ribbons in various spaces on his rack. The US Navy uniform guidelines are that an officer can wear all or some ribbons. Iceman chose to leave Meritorious Unit Commendation, Navy “E”, Navy Expeditionary, and Humanitarian ribbon that a young Lt Kazansky donned in the Top Gun movie.
Meanwhile, Jon Hamm’s character Vice Admiral Cyclone seems to have had an exciting career. Cyclone has three stars on his Good Conduct Medal, which means he served 12-16 years as an enlisted sailor before getting commissioned. The award required four years of continuous service back in the 1990s. While Cyclone also became the Vice Admiral and had a purple heart, he is missing senior awards like the Legion of Merit or the Defense Superior Medal.
It could be advocated that the discrepancies on the uniforms are to avoid the criminal code of the US Navy. However, the law allows flexibility to theatrical or motion-picture production to wear the uniform portraying the armed force without discrediting the force. It is believed that the lack of technical advice on the film set might have been the reason behind the inaccurate flitches in the uniform.

The recent history of superhero films based on DC characters was written by Christopher Nolan with his Dark Knight Trilogy. However, 2013’s man of steel laid the groundwork for DC’s own cinematic universe, much like Marvel’s. In the year 2016, Warner Bros kicked off DC Extended Universe with the release of Batman Vs. Superman Dawn of Justice. The past few years have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for DC and its fans. Films like Wonder Woman And Aquaman exceeded the expectations and performed surprisingly well. On the other hand, an anticipated movie like Justice League bombed at the box office.
After the pandemic has caused several movies to delay, the superhero fans did get a treat with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad in 2021. However, the year is 2022 has all the right ingredients to become the most epic year for DC fans to date. With as many as four live-action and one animated film, 2022 will be the most prolific year for DC films. If you are a superhero movie buff, who is eager to find out what 2022 has in store for you. Joins us as we discuss all the upcoming DC Superhero movies lined up for 2022.
The Batman!
Fans were very skeptical after the announcement of Twilight famed Robert Pattinson casting in the role of Batman following Ben Affleck’s exit. However, since Warner Bros released the trailer for the upcoming Batman film, fans were convinced that Robert Pattinson just might be the right choice to play the Dark Knight. In the trailer, viewers saw glimpses of the depth that Robert Pattinson brings to his version of the caped crusader.
In addition to Robert’s Batman, viewers also saw Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman. Talking about the antagonist, the main villain in the movie was The Riddler, played by Paul Dano. In addition, there was Colin Farrell playing the Penguin. The movie followed Bruce Wayne in his younger days.
According to some reports, The Batman was not be set within the DCEU. Nevertheless, fans were super excited for the return of the Caped Crusader on the silver screen. The last we saw Batman was in the 2017 Justice League (if you don’t count the Snyder Cut). The Batman lately hit the theatres on March 4, 2022.
Black Adam!
Another one of the upcoming DC Superhero movies is none other than Black Adam, The villainous super being from Khandaq is one of the most fascinating characters of the DC comics. Thus, fans were overwhelmed when Warner Bros announced Dwayne The Rock Johnson‘s casting to play Black Adam in 2014. The character was initially planned to appear in the Shazam movie, which makes perfect sense as the two are arch nemeses.
However, Warner Bros dropped the plan and decided to introduce Black Adam in a standalone film. The movie is long due as it has been in the making for nearly eight years. Nonetheless, fans never gave on Black Adam, and the hype and buzz for the upcoming Balck Adam film is second to none.
The forthcoming movie will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, starring Dwany Jhonson in the titular role. The anti-hero possesses powers same as Shazam. And in comics, Black Adams has gone head to head with the Man of Steel himself several times. Thus it will be interesting to see Black Adam’s take on Justice Society Of America on October 21, 2022.
The Flash!
Another long-long awaited DC film that was previously lined up for 2022 is the first DCEU standalone film of the fastest man alive. Warner Bros announced a big-screen adaptation of Barry Allen’s story back in 2014. Shortly after the premiere of The CW’s TV series on the same character. Several directers joined and left the project during the time, citing creative differences with the studio. On the other hand, the character gained immense popularity with The CW’s show.
Actor Ezra Miller, who appeared as DCEU’s version in the 2017 Justice League, has received lots of praises. This paved the way for a stand-alone film based on the Flash. Finally, Andy Muschietti became the man in the director’s chair. After countless delays and halts, the film’s production finally wrapped in October 2018. Based on what we know, we can say that the movie just might be worth the wait. In addition to Ezra Miller Flash, the movie will also feature Micheal Keaton and Ben Affleck as Batman.
Even before its release, The Flash has ignited a controversy. According to reports, The Flash movie will be based on 2011 Flashpoint. Which rebooted the entire DC universe, making way for ‘New 52′ storylines in comics. Thus, there are reports the 2022 The Flash will reboot the DCEU, making Zack Snyder’s universe null and void. Snyder’s fans are furious with the news and have been trending #RestoreTheSnyderverse on Twitter. Will the fans’ rage affect movie box office performance? We shall find the answer on June 23, 2023. Although previously, the movie was scheduled to release on November 4, 2022. But the delay happened because of recent Warner Bros. and Discovery merger.
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
After Warner Bros and DC’s biggest project, 2017’s The Justice League, performed miserably on Box office and turned out to be a disappointment. Jason Momoa stepped in the stand-alone film about DC’s Atlantian Prince and saved the day. The Aquaman, released in 2018, became the most profitable film in DCEU, gathering a collection of over one billion dollars. The film proves that DC does not entirely rely on Batman and Superman to make money.
