Here are the top speculated ideas that DC might reveal at San Diego Comic Con
Batman V Superman trailer/ images
Could it happen?
BVS has been shooting for weeks now, enough footage for a trailer wouldn't be a big problem. However we need to keep in mind that this movie isn't coming out until 2016, no need to play all you're cards now. Clay Enos the BVS photographer has said On twitter that even though he recently took a historic picture, we shouldn't expect much this much this early on.
Final Score 90%
BVS for better or worse will probaby go down in history as one of the most anticipated movies of all time. I'm pretty sure Warner Bro's DC will give us something, but I wouldn't bet on any trailer longer than 45 seconds.
Fox has the X-Men, Sony has the Sinister Six, but the only real superhero team that has any hope to combat the behemoth known as the Avengers in the box office is the Justice League. Though very far away it is still in the realm of possibility we could get some Justice League related news. Ray Fisher Cyborg, and Jason Momoa Aquaman confirmation can definently be done this year.
Could it happen?
The only two things we know about Justice League is that it's happening, and that it's coming out before 2019. The biggest rumor is that Justice League and BVS are shooting back to back, giving Justice league a 2017 release date. If we are to believe the Nikki Finke scoop, DC has already casted every hero involved, which has lead some to speculate that a full cast reveal might happen.
Score 35%
Keep in mind this film even at it's earliest possible release date will not be arriving for 3 more years. Why say X is playing Y right now when you could keep everyone guessing for another year or two.The only reason why i give a 35% is that the confirmation of a 2017 release date seems plausible.
The Rock has already made it be known that he will playing a DC character. Names like Lobo, Darksied, Green Lantern, and Martain Man Hunter were tossed around when he first made this announcement. Now it's pretty much safe to say he'e going to be in the Shazam movie, unless of course this was all a giant misdirect on the Rock's part. If the Rock is in the Shazam movie, then the question of who he's playing, and whether this will be in the DCCU will have to be answerd as well.
Could it happen?
The rumored date of Shazam is 2016, and the Rock stated that writers were being found as we speak. If DC announces a well liked directer is attached, somone like a Guillermo Del Toro, or Edgar Wright it could raise confidence in the DCCU.
Score 87%
Because this movie is going into production sometime in 2014, we're going to figure out what he'll be in a few months regardless of an anouncement. Why not have the Rock come out on stage to announce a 2016 Shazam infront of the whole world? Or even have the Rock introduce the Justice League cast members....
Marvel may be king with Movies, but DC seems to have the midas touch when it comes to television. Arrow, the Flash pilot, and the Constantine pilot have been all well recieved. Ever since Arrow first came on people have wondered if it will crossover with the DCCU, this theory had only gained momentum when the Flash got his own spinoff show. Fans of Arrow and Grant Gustin's Flash would go ballistic if this happened. Ben Affleck Batman could also get some character development from Gotham.
Could it happen ?
Producers on both sides have said that this is very unlikely and Geoff Johns just made a statement a few days ago that it is definently not going to happen. Also this could tie both sides down from having to stick to continuity, as it would limit charcter appearences in movies because they already appeared in TV. There is also the wildcard theory that DC could create an Agents of Shield type show that would have a clean slate, David Goyer did say that there where "general conversations" about expanding the DC universe beyond movies.
Score 5%
Apart from some cryptic twitter messeges from Amell, the idea of an interconnected universe based on TV shows that are already out now is dead. No announcement at this Comic Con will put the final nail in the coffin, unless this was a huge misdirect by everyone, and Amell really does win Comic Con as promised. Down the road I think a TV show based on the DCCU is inevitable, but I would put sometime in 2018 at the earliest.
A while back Nikki Finke gave us a supposed list of what DC will reveal this Comic Con. The list includes
-Batman V Superman 2016
-Shazam 2016
-Sandman 2016
-Justice League 2017
-Wonder Woman 2017
- Green Lantern/Flash 2017
-Man of Steel 2018
-Batman somewhere in 2019 or earlier (according to Latino Review)
Could it Happen?
The list is ambitous, DC goes from taking a 3 year break to 3 movies a year is very strange indeed. The addition of a Green Lantern/Flash is especially wierd. Keep in mind David Goyer claimed in an interview that DC had no long term plan for its properties to the groans of all DC fans.This is countered by Kevin Smith's own claim that the list is real.
Score 82%
BVS, Shazam, Sandman, and Justice League all seem to be in some stage of production right now. That is half of Finke's list right there, so the other 4 being true is not out of the question. I think we are going to get a portion of the list at Comic Con, but the 2017 and beyond stuff will be saved for later.
As we all know May 16 is the battleground date that both BVS and Captain America are expected to fight on. I'm not getting into any hypotheticals on what will happen on the box office that day because of one fact. Somone is moving, there is simply to much money to be lost if both sides do nothing. Both Captain America and BVS are poised to loss millions by doing nothing.
Could it happen?
As I said earlier a date change is going to happen. So far Marvel either has commited to losing millions or is keeping a really good poker face about all of this. Meanwhile DC has garnered allot of anger by "bullying" Marvel. A date change of a few weeks before May 16 could give the two superhero flicks some breathing room. Or the other rumored option is to move back to sometime in 2015, this solution could help DC save some face by not delaying the movie any further.
Score 25%
Somwhere in the Warner Bro's offices there is a group of men and women proccessing the pro's and con's of moving BVS to any date imaginable. If the date is to be changed only a few weeks backwards or even delayed a little it most likely won't be worth mentioning at Comic Con. The only reason a date change would be mentioned is if BVS is coming back to 2015, and if that isn't announced by this Comic Con it ain't happening.
Thanks for reading the ManWithNoName's first article, and comment what you think DC will reveal this Comic Con. I mean they're gonna do something right? right?....
By the way thankyou to TheIncredibleHulksta for inspiring me to write this, based of his Marvel movie predictions
