Justice League Dark to start shooting next year

After the departure of Guillermo del Toro, it seemed like this DC project was going to be shelved indefinitely. It isn't so, though.

The big news is that Warner Bros and DC have decided on Scott Rudin (Ex-Machina) to oversee the production of Justice League Dark "“ but this isn't all. The studio is pushing forward with the movie, planning to shoot it sometime in 2016. If this goes according to their plans, we might see the movie in 2017 or early 2018, right between the 2 Justice League movies.

And it is worth mentioning this. While included in the DC Extended Universe, the Justice League Dark will exist separately from the Justice League members. Only when Dark Universe villains will pop into the world everywhere will the two teams acknowledge each other's existence on the big screens.

Also worthy of mentioning, some details from the plot have also been revealed. Thus, the movie will revolve around some ancient tomes, which were stolen by a madman hell-bent on destroying the world. At this point, John Constantine will seek the help of other mystic and arcane specialists in order to foil the madman's plot.

Who is this villain and who are those other heroes? It is anybody's guess! What is certain is that Matt Ryan (who portrayed Constantine in the short-lived TV series) is not involved in any way in Justice League Dark.
