Yesterday not just the comic book movie industry but the film industry was hit with a bombshell with the announcement that Christopher Nolan will Godfather the DC Film Universe, Zack Snyder will be a part of Godfather with Nolan and directing
Justice League but the biggest news could be the fact Christian Bale will return as Batman for
Justice League. Everyone was shocked no matter if you loved it or hated it. The dream of a Justice League film for all of us was coming closer and closer and the involvement of Nolan, Snyder & Bale couldn't give us anymore reassurance.
Recently Forbes wrote an very interesting article about the news from yesterday. Forbes made a very big claim about the Justice League movie saying that:
The monetary value of this deal for everyone involved, and for the studio, would be hard to fathom at this point. Consider what Marvel’s The Avengers was capable of with a slate of lesser-known characters whose films never approached the worldwide $1 billion range of Nolan’s Batman or the name recognition (and likely upcoming $800 million or more global box office) of Superman. A Justice League film with this filmmaking team, staring these performers as these characters, and filmed and released in 3D, could have global box office potential of perhaps $2 billion or more.
Let me remind you guys that only 2 films in movie history has made 2 billion dollars. Those 2 films were James Cameron's
Titanic which made nearly 2.2 billion and James Cameron's
Avatar which made nearly 2.8 billion.
The Avengers is third on the all time list with just over 1.5 billion.
Regardless, this is still a very, very bold claim not just say it will make 1 billion but 2. If Justice League could make 2 billion, my only advice to Marvel is to get
The Amazing Spider-Man canon to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and put him in a future Avengers movie. What do you think? Do you think Justice League could now make 2 billion? Comment below. Peace.
