Untitled Warner Bros and Fox projects
To nobody’s surprise, Marvel hasn’t got any untitled projects for the future – and that is great, since it is a sign that Feige has planned everything to perfection.
On the other hand, things aren’t so neat with the other shared universes.
In the DCEU, it is certain (or as certain as it can be) that Ben Affleck will star in a Batman solo flick, with Deathstroke being one of the villains (originally, until Affleck stepped down from the director’s chair, Deathstroke was supposed to be the main antagonist). It is rumored that the film will borrow from more than one comic book storyline.
Margot Robbie has already signed for a Harley Quinn spin-off (Gotham City Sirens, with David Ayer attached to direct), while a second Suicide Squad movie has also been announced (for 2019). Also, the Man of Steel sequel has been finally made a priority by the studio – with the original rumor being that Brainiac will finally arrive (however, the plans seem to have changed, since Black Adam is now rumored to be the main antagonist).
Furthermore, Black Adam is said to receive his own solo flick – which is weird, especially since The Rock said that Black Adam is one of the most complex superheroes out there.
And it isn’t over just yet. The Flash (originally scheduled for a 2018 release) has been put on hold indefinitely after losing 2 directors. So this is quite a hit the DCEU has taken. But don’t worry! In 2019 we will get a Batman-focused mini-DCEU, so to speak.
Sure, The Batman doesn’t have a release date. However, the aim is to release it in 2019, the same year when Warner Bros wants to release Gotham City Sirens, Suicide Squad 2, Nightwing, Deadshot, and Batgirl. So that’s a handful.
As far as the X-Men universe is concerned, we are definitely getting a Deadpool sequel, which will also feature Cable – surprisingly, Josh Brolin (Thanos) will portray him, while David Leitch will direct. There is no release date just yet, but we can assume that it will be in 2018 or 2019.
As far as Gambit is concerned, it has lost its second director (or third, but who is counting) and we haven’t heard anything about it since its release date was last changed.
But we do know that X-Force and New Mutants are being in development, with the latter waiting to shoot this summer.
Lastly, the core X-Men franchise will get a sequel. Bryan Singer won’t return in the director’s chair and it is expected to once again try and adapt the Dark Phoenix storyline.
