DC and Warner Bros. have just announced the official start date for the filming of Justice League Part One, which is considered to be the next installment in Zack Snyder's Justice League Cinematic Universe (In addition to directing the first two DCEU movies, Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, he will also helm both of the Justice League movies).
Shooting will begin on April 11, which, in a way, shows that the studio has absolute confidence in Snyder's vision (it is expected for Batman v Superman to perform very well at the box office, as well as with the critics).
A first set photo – of Zack Snyder and Jason Momoa - was also released today, posted on the former's Twitter account. While the actor is not in character, the pic is a pretty interesting one, since you can spot about seven costumes in the background, as well as concept art for one character.
Obviously, everybody recognizes Batman's cowl. But you can also see Aquaman's armor (which looks in no way like the first official pic of the character, being actual armor), the Flash suit, and a mystery suit of armor in black. We can speculate that it’s Green Lantern's, though it could be Nightwing's (others say that it could be the suit of some Greek villain or of Ocean Master, given the helmet on the table - we doubt that, though).
There is also another possibility, which is even more interesting - what if it’s Black Adam’s suit? The Rock did say on several occasions that the fans won't have to wait until Shazam! hits in order to see the villain"¦
In the photo’s background, you can see quite an interesting figure, with its mouth covered by a piece of cloth - and we can't get our heads around that!!! Who do you think that is?
Obviously, since we’ve previously mentioned it, there is also a piece of concept art, right behind the Aquaman suit - apparently, Mera will indeed appear in the first Justice League movie.
Looking at this single picture, there is quite a lot to take in - for example, behind the Bat cowl, there is a costume which seems to be heavily armored. Some speculate that we may see Wonder Woman wearing it, while others say that it’s Mera's. But what do you think?
Excited yet?
