Just recently, a big list of DCEU rumors have dropped. They look/seem to be some pretty juicy details about the DCEU’s future. I’m gonna post the list, let you guys read through it, then talk about them.
I am going to list them by relation to movie, meaning I will have the Justice League rumors listed under Justice League, so on and so forth.
Now, I don’t know the exact source of the list, but it looks like Reddit is behind this so I give credit to them.
Let’s get to it!
Random:
- The Cyborg movie is no more.
- A lot of actors were offered the role of Deathstroke, but Joe Manganiello looks to have been given the roll.
- Man of Steel sequel to release in 2020. J.J Abrams and Duncan Jones along with many other directors are being looked at for the film. The villain of the movie will be Brainiac. They are also looking at bringing in Supergirl and Superboy. Lex will have a key role in creating Brainiac.
- Edgar Wright is also being looked at to direct a DCEU movie.
- They’re wanting to do something new and fresh with Black Adam for “Shazam”. Dwayne Johnson is in communication about what can be done different to make this film better.
- Billy will meet the Justice League at the end as Shazam.
- Misha Collins, Channing Tatum, Milo Ventimiglia, Steven Yeun, and Jake Gyllenhaal have been approached for different roles in the movies. Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, Alexandria Daddario, and Jessica Chastain have also been approached for roles.
- The full trailers for both Wonder Woman and Justice League will show the “fun” of these movies. The Wonder Woman trailer shows the villain (a little bit.)
- They plan to do DCEU TV shows on HBO. Some of the ideas are Birds of Prey, Nightwing, The Question (might be the first show), The Phantom Stranger, Dr Fate, and Zatanna
- The animated films will cover what some characters have been up to during the events of other films.
- The Booster Gold and Blue Beetle movie is up in the air. Might be swapped out for a TV show.
- The “Suicide Squad “ sequel will happen through 2020, possibly 2021. It will have a different roaster, and will not be directed by David Ayer.
A bunch of announcements regarding casting, release dates being moved, a few new films being added to the slate, plans for DCEU shows and DCEU animated movies (no shows or movies will be announced, just that they will make stuff that tie in), and more will be being announced soon (get hyped!)
Justice League:
- DC is trying not to overcrowd “Justice League”, but there looks to be a lot that they are already working with (already seems like it’s gonna be kinda long (hopefully BvS Ultimate Edition long). They also know that they can’t cut out a lot of stuff and repeat their past mistakes.
- Villain is Steppenwolf (duh,) but the JL will be fighting Parademons are a good majority of the time.
- Lex will be out of prison and will be working on having the public hate the heroes (mainly Batman and Superman (for obvious reasons.) Lex will be very different than in BvS (more chill and manipulative.)
- Joker and Harley make an appearance.
- There will be a very “Avengers” type fight scene between the League and Steppenwolf.
- Superman will have a beard and long hair, a tattered, burnt looking black suit (he will also be skinny.)
- Green Lantern at the very end of the film (maybe end credits), there is a Darkseid teaser, but there is a catch. They might not use him in the sequel because of what MARVEL is doing with Thanos; so they might use Darkseid later. The Crime Syndicate, The Injustice League, and The Society are being considered for the movie. “Tower of Babel” is being looked at for the plot.
- The Justice League sequel will be pushed back to the end of 2019 to make some space for “Justice League Dark”
Aquaman
- Black Manta will be very Darth Vader like
- The Kaldur’ahm Aqualad will be in the movie. He will serve Black Manta then switch over to Aquaman’s side.
- There’s a fight scene were Aquaman and Aqualad take on Black Manta’s army before Aquaman fights Black Manta
The Flash
- The Rogues will be the villains of the movies. Captain Cold will be kinda creepy, he will also have a sleek mechanical suit (it will have the same color and pattern of his comic book costume.)
- They have noticed that the speed force moments on the show are pretty well liked. So they are hoping to do their own spin on the speed force.
- Rob Lowe was approached to play one of the villains in the Flash film. They apparently really want him to play a villain
Batman
- Black Mask would be the villain of the movie and he breaks out the other villains from Arkham.
- Joker and Harley have a subplot that involves them blowing the inmates.
- Batman catching Joker and Harley will result in Harley leaving Joker due to his abuse of her and Batman rehabilitating her.
- Amanda Waller will send in Deathstroke to fight Batman. Batman then tells Waller she is next.
- Deadshot is also in the movie, but leaves for his daughter.
- A Lot of the villains escape at the end of the movie
- Batman will take down a B-List villain at the end
Green Lantern
- Luke Evans have been approached for the roll of Sinestro
- Atrocitus will be teased towards the end
- The movie will be modeled be to the tone of those old Sci-Fi serials.
Now, let’s talk about some of these real quick. First off, I think it’s a good call Cyborg won’t be getting a DCEU movie. I mean, I don’t think he can hold a movie all on his own. This opens it up for a Teen Titans (or Titans) movie. Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke seems pretty likely because he was rumored for the role during Suicide Squad. He’s been seen in London, and he has followed Zack Snyder on Twitter. He also has the Deathstroke look going.

Oh yeah…get hyped.
I’m really liking the idea of DCEU HBO TV shows. Plus, the possible characters are some good choices! Now, we all know (currently) DC has learned from their past mistakes and are trying not to do these mistakes again. See guys! They have learned from their mistakes and are wanting to fix them. I think it’s great that Lex will have a personality similar to the comics, it will please the fans who didn’t like him in BvS. It makes sense to show Joker and Harley because people are curious of what they are doing after Joker broke Harley out of prison at the end of “Suicide Squad”.

To be honest with you guys, this is what I imagined for Henry Cavill’s black Superman suit.
Is holding off Darkseid a good call? I think so, I kinda see where DC is going with this choice due to Thanos and “Infinity War”. And doesn’t anyone think that The Crime Syndicate or the Injustice League would be a better choice? I think it is!

This is what I see when I think of a sleek, armor look for Captain Cold. Why can’t his suit look like this?

I think this would look better for a DCEU Captain Cold costume. Rob Lowe as a villain in the DCEU is something I never really thought off. I saw something about him playing Captain Cold. CC is being described as a creepy kind of character and Lowe doesn’t really fit creepy, he fits funny! I can see Lowe playing the Reverse Flash!
Does anyone get a “Arkham Origins” vibe from the Batman solo now? I mean, Black Mask as the main villain, and Batman fighting Deathstroke and a bunch of bad guys. I’m really excited about this movie now! Black Mask would make a great villain for a Batfleck film (next to Jared Leto’s Joker).
To wrap things up, I hope some of these rumors turn out to be true. A lot of these ideas aren’t that half bad, and they can possibly help the DCEU. Yes, some of the HBO shows might put a dent in my Netflix series idea, but as long as they get some type of show, I’m good!
