Suicide Squad (2016)

Suicide Squad initially made a lot of people wonder what DC and Warner Brothers were thinking when it was announced as the third movie in the DC Extended Universe – but it’s fair to say that excitement levels for it are quite high now that people know the ins and outs of the movie and have seen footage from it.

The Suicide Squad are exactly that – a team of expendable bad guys put together by the government to perform the risky missions that will probably end up killing some of them. It’s an interesting concept, but they’re quite an obscure set of characters, which makes the movie a risk.

That being said, the 2016 offering has attracted a number of star actors – including Will Smith as Deadshot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and, most interestingly, Jared Leto as the Joker. Succeeding the late Heath Ledger will be no easy task, but fans are chomping at the bit to see how Leto does and what this movie will be like (frankly, it looks great).

Green Lantern Corps (2020)

For a while, it was unknown which Green Lantern the DC Extended Universe movie of the same name would be based on – and things got a lot more exciting when it was revealed that it would focus on the entire Green Lantern Corps.

The 2020 offering will hope to extinguish the memory of the awful 2011 Green Lantern movie – which starred one of the worst superhero miscasts with Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan – and trigger a series of future movies that could well introduce other Lantern Corps to the franchise.

You can bet your bottom dollar that a single Earth-based Green Lantern (probably John Stewart, who could be played by Tyrese Gibson, if rumours are to be believed) will appear in other DCEU movies prior to this movie but, in the meantime, we’re definitely looking forward to this one.
