New Report Claims Warner Bros. Are Still Developing A LEGION OF SUPERHEROES Movie

We heard last year that Warner Bros. were putting a Legion of Superheroes movie into development, but we've heard nothing concrete since. A new report has reiterated that, and we may also have some spoilery Suicide Squad details too...don't get your hopes up for costumes!

Last September, Latino-Review reported that Warner Bros. were developing a movie featuring the Legion of Superheroes. There's obviously plenty of room within the studio's current DC Comics slate to squeeze in a few more movies, and now Bleeding Cool has run their own report in which they claim to have heard that, "after the success of Guardians Of The Galaxy, is a Legion Of Superheroes film, being pushed through with an Avengers-Meets-Guardians tag." The plan is for it to be set in the far future with "a massive cast of superheroic characters spread out across a galaxy. And the tone is intended to be lighter than other DC superhero movies." It doesn't have a green light as of yet however. Also mentioned is the fact that they were one of the first sites to mention plans for a Suicide Squad movie, and that while the script has since been rewritten, "they’re still keeping the codenames-as-callsigns-no-costumes aspect though." The codenames thing makes sense, but NO costumes? Something tells me that won't sit well with some...

Latino Review posted about the rumor and it was Eh Maybe stating it.

Now we got Bleeding Cool who posted a whole bunch of bullshit Fantastic Four rumors like Trank being fired and saying it's a mess.

Yea. Legion of Superheroes isn't in [frick]ing development at all at WB.

I really don't believe that no costume thing because number 1. it's in the DCCU, 2. Zack Snyder is producing it, 3. The Joker is in this movie, and 4. These are the same people (Bleeding Cool) who said F4 was in some production trouble. Lies!!

I doubt they would've gotten characters like Harley, Joker and Enchantress only to not give them costumes.

Bullshit. Snyder is involved with everything...WB can't help but have him run shit. And if it's true...it's a bad decision. This universe seems all over the place.I like dc but....dccu should just establish JL and JL Dark first

Suicide Squad's costume designer is Kate Hawley who did the costumes for Edge of Tomorrow, Pacific Rim, and worked on the Hobbit trilogy.

Yea, this report is bullshit.

Hey guys remember when Bleeding Cool said that they were 100% certain that the FF reboot had got the boot?

Looks like they're right again...

I'd love to see a Legion adaptation. Would prefer to see it done on TV though - it doesn't really fit into the DCCU, much better to keep it separate.

"I’ve learnt from a rather well-connected source that, as the title says, Fox has dumped Fantastic Four director John Trank and the script by Simon Kinberg and are actively looking for replacements. Six months before they are due to shoot, for 2015 release.
Oh, yes, and there are now casting issues from the studio too."

@ComicsBornAndBred Friend how do you know the DCCU is out of place when the movies didn't even come out yet?

NO COSTUMES IN SUICIDE SQUAD?
A FILM WITH CHARACTERS SUCH AS THE JOKER,HARLEY(shut up Dexter),DEADSHOT,DEATHSTROKE,etc,etc...
A [frick]ING COMIC BOOK MOVIE?

@LEVITIKUZ

Yeah, she was sure hired to design ordinary prison suits or something. I dont think Bleeding Cool is a reliable source. Especially with their totally inaccuarate F4 "scoop"

Exactly! I really hope the SS part is wrong. If it isn't, I will be [frick]ing pissed.

@LEVITIKUZ - Lol, which turned out to be BS as well. Or at least outdated. Don't really care for either tbh - but I'm enjoying watching them bicker like children.

Keeps me entertained ;)

The sooner DC/WB start their marketing off with BvS the better cause people are weird in this site. (I'm not even gonna say troll cause that's to easy). Like a wise man once said "If you keep quiet the people will hate you".
