If you like superheroes and have a special affinity for the work of the Distinguished Competition, you’re in luck, because the imminent premiere of ‘Black Adam’ —which will hit our theaters next Friday, October 21— is only the tip of an iceberg that promises to break through movie theaters and the domestic market for a good handful of years.
This is, at least, what the lengthy article in The Hollywood Reporter suggests in which comprehensively reviews the future of DC Films, that promises to continue watering the big —and the small— screen with capes, masks and superpowers, and that already has a surprising project on the horizon: a sequel to ‘The Flash’.
Sequels, spinoffs and returns for all tastes
It seems that all the insane controversies that Ezra Miller has been chaining and the understandable tensions they have caused with Warner Bros. have not been enough for the studio to give green light to the script writing of ‘Flash 2’, which has already been completed by David Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick —responsible for ‘Aquaman’ and its sequel ‘The Lost Kingdom’—.

Material, of course, is not lacking.

After finishing filming on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ last May, James Gunn will return to DC after the fantastic ‘The Suicide Squad’ and its cathodic spinoff ‘The Peacemaker’ with a secret movie in development in parallel to the second season of the series starring John Cena.
And, to finish, we cannot forget the most famous Kryptonian of the ninth art. According to him it has transpired, People at Warner want another Superman movie that it would be a potential sequel to ‘Man of Steel’ produced by Charles Roven for which they are already looking for writers. It seems that the stars are in his favor after Herny Cavill’s return to the DC Universe has been confirmed, which has not prevented the long-term focused on the hero of Metropolis produced by JJ Abrams and written by Tehasi Coates continue with your development.
