Rumors For Justice League Include Green Lantern & Man Of Steel 2

A batch of new Justice League and DCEU rumors has hit the net.

These come from 4Chan (via Reddit) so who knows if there is any validity to the claims as we see mention that the Cyborg movie is cancelled.

You can also check out new Marvel Phase 4 rumors.

Justice League/DCEU rumors:

• The villains for Justice League are Ares and Ocean Master. Ares will be weakened after Wonder Woman but the recent conflicts with the Kryptonians and previous wars have re-powered him. He will spark a war between Atlanteans and the Amazons so he can reach the height of his powers. Ocean Master betrays Aquaman and takes the thrown and leads the attack on the Amazons.
• Darkseid will still have a heavy presence in Justice League and will be the villain for Justice League 2.
• Bruce Wayne and Amanda Waller have different views about metahumans. Bruce believes they can do good while Waller believes they are a threat and should be contained.
• Batman will be the strategist of the team. Flash will be the sweeper. Cyborg will have a combination of long and short range attacks. Aquaman’s fighting style is straight up brutal.
• Green Lantern will appear at the end of Justice League.
• Joker and Black Mask will be the main two antagonist in the solo Batman film. Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon will appear.
• The following films are in development: Suicide Squad 2, Man of Steel 2, Birds of Prey, Crime Syndicate and New Gods. The Cyborg film has been cancelled

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K.

However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?

But neither situation proves to be a “vacation” as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It’s a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by Joker and many of Batman’s infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City’s safety.

Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition Reveals Jena Malone Role

Jena Malone’s role in Batman Vs. Superman is finally made known as the Ultimate Editon has been released online early and the credits have hit the net.

Contrary to speculation, Jena Malone is not playing Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, aka Oracle.

In Batman Vs. Superman, Jena Malone plays the DC Comics character Jenet Klyburn where she participates in a lab scene with Amy Adams’ Lois Lane.

In the comics, Jenet Klyburn is a doctor and director at Star Labs in Metropolis.

Jena Malone was also featured in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, so more or less it seems like Snyder was simply giving a friend a cameo.

The Batman Vs. Superman Ultimate Edition can be purchased through Amazon.

Amber Heard Too Skinny For Justice League Movie?

It’s being reported that Amber Heard didn’t go to her Justice League costume fitting in London.

Amber Heard has been cast as Mera, the love interest to Jason Momoa’s Aquaman.

According to TMZ, due to stress over the pending divorce with Johnny Depp and claims of domestic violence, Amber Heard is said to have lost too much weight – 20 lbs – causing the producers of Justice League to feel she is currently not fit enough for the role.

Amber Heard was supposed to be in London for her Justice League fitting, which caused her court case with Depp to be delayed, but she has since been spotted in Hollywood, which has led to claims by Depp’s camp that Amber Heard is attempting to dodge questioning under oath.

“Justice League” has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K.

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs.

Michael Keaton Said To Play Vulture In Spider-Man: Homecoming; Martin Starr Joins Cast

Following the news of Logan Marshall-Green as a potential villain for Spider-Man: Homecoming, it’s learned Martin Starr has joined the cast.

Deadline first reported the news, though the role is unknown.

Deadline is also stating that Michael Keaton is playing the Vulture (Marvel has yet to confirm): “…and Keaton plays The Vulture.”

Martin Starr is known for Silicon Valley and Hawaii Five-O.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release also starring Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Michael Barbieri, Kenneth Choi and Donald Glover.

Logan Marshall-Green In Talks For Villain #2 For Spider-Man: Homecoming

It’s reported Logan Marshall-Green is in talks to star in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

According to THR, Logan Marshall-Green will play the secondary villain in the movie alongside Michael Keaton, who is said to be the main villain.

Both roles are currently a secret, but it’s been speculated Michael Keaton may be playing Vulture (I actually think Norman Osborn is a better choice).

Logan Marshall-Green is known for Quarry, Prometheus, Dark Blue, Traveler, The OC and 24.

Actually, Logan Marshall-Green looks to be a pretty good choice for Norman Osborn as well, I would think.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release also starring Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Michael Barbieri, Kenneth Choi and Donald Glover.

Roland Emmerich Wants Independence Day: Resurgence Sequel; Watch B-Roll Footage

Watch behind-the-scenes footage below from Independence Day: Resurgence.

Director Roland Emmerich also revealed he is hopeful for a sequel as he set up IDR to lead into another movie (via Slash Film):

I’d never planned to make a sequel – I always felt that Independence Day was a standalone film. But over the years I realized how iconic the film had become for people and I was repeatedly asked by [20th Century] Fox to do it. What really did it was just how amazing film technology is these days and how restricted I felt in ’95/’96 when I did the original one. But it’s not a traditional sequel.

If [Independence Day: Resurgence is] successful enough, yes, because it’s set up for a sequel. In 20 years? No, I wouldn’t want to make it with a Zimmer frame!

“Independence Day: Resurgence” has a June 24, 2016 release directed by Roland Emmerich starring Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Angelababy, Maika Monroe, Sela Ward, and Jessie Usher.

Synopsis:

We always knew they were coming back. After INDEPENDENCE DAY redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Director Jon Watts Shoots Down Spider-Man: Homecoming Rumor

The past couple of weeks have seen new casting announcements for Spider-Man: Homecoming, but the roles have yet to be revealed.

With the casting of Michael Barbieri came a rumor/speculation that the 14-year-old actor may be playing a version of the Marvel Comics character Ganke Lee, a Korean American, which caused some uproar as it followed the Doctor Strange Ancient One controversial casting of Tilda Swinton replacing a Tibetan character.

Now Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts has taken to Twitter to shoot down the rumor.

“What The–?! Michael Barbieri was never playing Ganke… no idea how that rumor started… Ok, back to work!!!” Watts posted, while also letting loose a second tweet: “What The–?! Michael Barbieri was never playing ‘a version of or a character based on/similar to’ Ganke… Ok, back to work for reals now!!!”

I actually speculated that Michael Barbieri may be playing Harry Osborn.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has a July 7, 2017 release also starring Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, Marisa Tomei, Zendaya, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Kenneth Choi and Donald Glover.

Maybe Superman won’t have to resort to snapping necks, but can instead just choke them out?

Check out a pic of Henry Cavill training with Roger Gracie in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It’s unknown if Cavill is training for a role in a new movie, but Cavill posted the pic on Facebook with:

Getting schooled by Mr. Roger Gracie. An honour and good fun! ‪#‎BJJ‬ Roger Gracie @RogerGracie

I train in Jujutsu myself, but a different school: Danzan Ryu Jujitsu (Hawaiian).

Henry Cavill next stars in Justice League, which is currently filming in the UK.

Rick Famuyiwa Teases Cyborg For The Flash Movie

Back in April, Batman Vs. Superman producer Deborah Snyder hinted The Flash movie may team up Ezra Miller with Ray Fisher’s Cyborg:

As you can imagine, when we get to the Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher — who plays Cyborg — are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice comradery with each other. Ezra is super funny, so the tone of that film will be very different than the rest of them.

Now the possibility of a Flash and Cyborg team-up movie seems more likely as The Flash movie director Rick Famuyiwa is in London, where Justice League is filming, and posted an image of himself along with Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher.

“Look who I ‘ran’ into on the streets of London,” Famuyiwa posted on Twitter with an added “wink.”

“The Flash” has a March 16, 2018 release.

New and powerful foes coming from Dragon Ball movies (such as Slug, with more to be revealed) will do their best to succeed in their wicked deeds. To fight them, Time Patrollers will gather in a huge new city that is 7 times bigger than “Toki Toki City” from the previous game. Conton City is the name of the new main hub where all players can undertake quests, train at school, enter fights, shop and more. On top of a massive city that will allow for up to 300 simultaneous players, BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment and DIMPS have implemented new exciting features: including that each playable race will have different rewards for their missions.
