Justice League Movie to Become a Reality

I know…it’s not Star Wars, but it’s Batman so humor me.  

This probably falls under the “didn’t we already know this” news category. Zack Snyder is going to direct the “Justice League” movie after the tentatively titled “Batman vs. Superman” movie. This news right after the news that Cyborg has been cast and will appear in the “Batman vs. Superman” film. Theater actor Ray Fisher has been cast to play the role. Fans had a good idea that this was coming as well as writer David S. Goyer hinted during press for “Man of Steel. "We mentioned S.T.A.R. Labs at one point, that's kind of a connection to Cyborg,"

The Wall Street Journal interview with the studios president of worldwide production, Greg Silverman, goes on to say: 

 "It will be a further expansion of this universe. Superman vs Batman will lead into Justice League."

Snyder is currently in the process of developing Batman Vs. Superman, and that's looking like it's already going to be somewhat of a Justice League movie. Henry Cavill is reprising his role of Superman,  Ben Affleck is on board as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. It was also recently announced that Cyborg would be included in the film. I can't help but think that we'll see a few other characters introduced in the Batman Vs. Superman as well. Those could include Aquaman, Flash and Green Lantern. If not, then we'll see them in the Justice League. 

The script is currently in development at the studio, and it doesn't look like it will released before 2018. So we've got a long way to go. The studio is also hoping that this will help launch a series of spin-off films for many of the characters. Wonder Woman was specifically pointed out by Sue Kroll, president of worldwide marketing, who said,

“That is our hope. With the right script, that could be viable. The world is ready for her."

“Justice League” will be directed by Zack Snyder. Henry Cavill is expected to return as Superman, along with Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, who play Batman and Wonder Woman, respectively, in 2016’s “Man of Steel” sequel tentatively titled “Batman vs. Superman.”
