The Official DC Cinematic Universe thread - Now Showing - "The Justice League"

You guys hear the rumor that dude on the left is playing Zatara (prominent DC magician and father of Zatanna). That actually makes a lot of sense especially with the rumor of Zatanna being more ethnic than even Italian in the DC movies.

Who are the New Wonder Woman Movie Castmembers?



Overnight, several new castmembers were announced for Wonder Woman, with the announcement that principal photography is officially underway. Only two characters have been officially announced so far, though, with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Chris Pine as Captain Steve Trevor.

So who are the rest of the cast, and who might they be playing?

Robin Wright has quite the storied career - she was a working actress two years before Gal Gadot was born! Her early career included the titular role of Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride, a long run on soap opera Santa Barbara and a couple of TV movies. Forest Gump gave her a big jump in her career, and it's been primarily one of fairly straight drama films. Her only real genre credits to date would be Princess Bride and Beowulf.

Who could Robin Wright be playing? Well, the Hollywood age could be right for her to play Queen Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother. She could also be any number of prominent Amazons or one of the Gods of Olympus. If the past component to the film, which is rumored to take place in two eras (and has a set picture to support that) is World War II (conflicting reports have said it's one or the other of the World Wars), then she could be a character like Baroness Paula Von Gunther, a ? spy who fought Wonder Woman a few times in the Golden Age of the comics. There's also rumors of Circe being a villain in the film, so that's always a possibility - this is the problem with speculating when you have next to no details about a movie - almost everything is possible.

Danny Huston, meanwhile, has a lot of genre work under his belt, from American Horror Story to Wrath of the Titans to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and has even lent his voice to a DC animated movie as General Lane in The Flashpoint Paradox. He could be something as simple as an Army general like General Phil Darnell (or Blankenship, depending on which era or medium you're referencing), who has ties to both Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, or as imposing as Ares, another rumored villain for the film.

David Thewlis is probably best known to our fans as Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter series. He's also in this year's new Macbeth film as Duncan. He certainly has a godly air to him, but no specific character jumps out at first glance.

Ditto for the lithe Ewen Bremner. As Spud in Trainspotting, he wore a Superman t-shirt, so perhaps this is him fulfilling his DC Comics movie destiny, 20 years later.

Elena Anaya is a Spanish actress with only a couple of English speaking/Hollywood roles, including Van Helsing. If earlier rumors about Circe were true, namely that they were looking at an actress like Eva Green for the role, Anaya would certainly fit that bill with her stunning looks and screen presence.

The last new member of the cast announced was Lucy Davis, a veteran comedy actress from the original The Office, Shaun of the Dead, and much more. The character that jumps out here is Etta Candy, who is typically Wonder Woman's best friend, and has appeared in multiple eras. This is probably the safest bet.

Saïd Taghmaoui was also confirmed in the castlist, after he let that slip with his now-deleted tweet from the set (oops). He told a French publication his character is, "Un personnage de super héros gentil." Now, many have taken that as him saying he's playing a super hero, which the literal translation can support, but it could also be him saying he's just a "nice, heroic character," or simply, a good guy. If he is playing a super hero, well, it's fairly hard to figure out who. Some speculation has fallen on him being Giovanni Zatara, the father of Zatanna and an accomplished magic user himself - if Circe and Ares are indeed the villains, having a mystic in your corner would help. The copious workouts and shape he's gotten into doesn't seem very necessary for a guy who uses spells though. We'll go out on a limb here and suppose he could be Lennox, the British super-soldier revealed as Wonder Woman's half-brother in the most recent New 52 era of the comics. He can turn himself to living marble, a visually interesting power, for sure.

As production begins in earnest, more information will surely both leak out and be revealed officially soon. We should note as well, that Nicole Kidman was reportedly in talks for the film, but did not appear on this cast list.

DC bout to do some damage at the box office over the next few years

Actresses Rumored For Black Canary Role In Justice League, Possible Birds Of Prey Movie



Following the release of the first image from the Wonder Woman movie, DC and Warner Brothers are keeping the momentum of female heroes strong.

A new rumor suggests that Black Canary will be making a debut in the DC Extended Universe, and no, its won't be Caity Lotz or Katie Cassidy of the DC TV Universe.

According to the rumor, actresses Abbey Lee of Mad Max: Fury Road and Alona Tal or Burn Notice and Supernatural are being eyed for the role of Black Canary. The debut is said to come in Justice League: Part One or Two.

The rumor also suggests that Black Canary plans are not limited to Justice League ensemble films but also a Birds of Prey movie which is in development. The Birds of Prey is a group comprised of a number of female DC heroes, including Black Canary and Barbra Gordon, who is likely being introduced in Batman v. Superman and portrayed by Jena Malone. We recently asked Malone to share some details on her upcoming DC role, but she couldn't share any.

Warner Bros. Focused On Making PG-13 Superhero Movies



The upcoming slate of DC Comics film adaptations is aiming for a consistent PG-13 rating across the board.

Producer Chris Roven confirmed this during an interview with Collider:

“Right now the movies that we’re making, the movies that have been announced by Warner Bros., I would say those are all intended to be PG-13 movies. I can’t tell you something may not come out of left field or we might get inspired to develop a different character, but the ones that are in front of us right now through [Justice League 2 are] PG-13.”

This does in Suicide Squad, which is perhaps the darkest and grittiest offering Warner Bros. currently has planned.
