RUMOUR: Do These 4Chan Leaks Reveal The Future Of The DCEU?

Probably not, but it's worth a look! A 4Chan anon has posted an extensive list of rumours, and if true, they reveal future movies, castings, villains and plot points for the fledging DC Cinematic Universe. Grab a hefty pinch of salt and come check it out!

4Chan leaks are rarely that accurate a source of information, but when they do pop up, they're always exciting. Most of them have concerned Marvel Studios and its slate of films, but a few days ago a user on /co/ made a pretty long post, in which they revealed a lot of information about upcoming DC movies, including ones that haven't even been announced yet. I'll try and break the info down in rough chronological order.

First, Suicide Squad. If you liked that awesome new trailer, then good news- apparently early reactions have been very positive, and WB is planning a sequel for 2018/19. Next, Wonder Woman- the movie will apparently feature Ares and Circe as the vilains. Given the vast amount of info about Justice League, I'll save that for last, so let's skip ahead to The Flash- apparently Reverse-Flash will be the villain, but will have a 'unique twist' to differentiate him from the TV version. Aquaman will feature Arthur Curry squaring off against Ocean Master and The Trench, with no plans for a Black Manta appearance, and Shazam will have Black Adam as the villain (duh). Cyborg is apparently still on the back burner until after Justice League: Part 1 comes out, so WB can gauge the public's attitude towards the character, and if the movie does happen, it'll have a black director.

Now, some less positive news- Dark Universe is apparently dead. (A moment of silence.) Cyborg and Green Lantern Corps don't yet have villains, and the latter film will center on Hal Jordan and John Stewart (again, duh). Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum trilogy, Real Steel, The Internship) is apparently the frontrunner to direct Shazam, suggesting that movie will have a comedic bent, and apparently Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Duncan Jones (Warcraft, Moon) and Rian Johnson (Looper, Star Wars: Episode VIII) have all been approached about Green Lantern Corps. Ben Affleck is apparently hesistant about directing an upcoming solo Bat flick, but he's definitely writing it, and Jared Leto's Joker will definiely appear. There's also some news about projects not yet announced- apparently Blue and Gold, Deathstroke, Birds of Prey and Legion of Superheroes movies are all in the works, and George Miller is apparently undecided on whether or not he wants to direct an upcoming DC film. 

Now, finally, onto Justice League: Part 1. Snyder is, sadly, locked to direct, but apparently if this film is critically panned, he'll be replaced for Part 2. I personally can't fathom why they're giving him a third chance to [frick] up some of the greatest superheroes and villains in all of comics, but hey, I don't work at WB. It's apparently massive, having been written by Snyder and Chris Terrio, and (deep breath) Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miler, Amy Adams, Laurence Fushburne, Connie Nielsen, Jena Malone, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Diane Lane and Harry Lennix will all reprise roles from previous films (exhale). JK Simmons and Amber Heard have already been confirmed to debut as Commissioner Gordon and Mera respectively, but (deep breath) Alona Tal, Imogen Poots, James Remar, Alfred Molina and Ed Harris will also debut as Black Canary, Iris West, Darryl Frye, Thomas Morrow and Wade Eiling (exhale). Also, Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle) and Tessa Thompson (Creed) are apparently negotiating for Sarah Charles, Cyborg's love interest, and (inhale) Javier Bardem, Bill Nighy, Jackie Earle Haley, Rosamund Pike, Willem Dafoe, Joel Edgerton and Frances McDormand are all up for unspecified parts (exhale).

The plot (if there's room for one with all those bloody characters) will apparently revolve around Batman and Wonder Woman trying to assemble the JLA to fight the threat of Darkseid, with the government, represented by Waller and Eiling, hunting them. Darkseid himself is described as a 'force of nature', and is apparently being redesigned. He'll also have something to do with Superman's inveitable rebirth, and allegedly has the power to force the heroes to 'confront their dark sides' or some shit. The League members will aparently been shown as angry, unstable people who could turn up in different circumstances, and 'Seid will apparently try to corrupt Superman, with Lois being an important part of this subplot (sidenote: yay, more dark, brooding antiheroes! Said no-one ever). The focus is on the JLA and Lois, with everyone else being minor roles.

So, what do you think? Let me know in the comments below. Thank you very much for reading!

@TheBritAvenger - First and formost, great work with the article man. Second of all, the reason why they have him direct this, is the same reason I pointed out before with the Directors guild of america.

However, I really don't believe this 4chan thread at all. No scratch that, I don't believe the Justice League part of it. The other ones am I most "wait and see on"

Why? Because making a movie franchise based of established characters is like playing a good game of cards. You can't play your cards to fast.

I personally believe that the rumor of that Atlantis is the villain instead

First of, It's the quote from Chris Terrio, the writer

"“I have written ‘Justice League: Part One,’ but I won’t necessarily write ‘Part Two.’ This has been the most rigorous intellectual exercise I’ve had in my writing life.” So what was so demanding about the film? Terrio explains, “For ‘Batman v Superman,’ I wanted to really dig into everything from ideas about American power to the structure of revenge tragedies to the huge canon of DC Comics to Amazon mythology. For ‘Justice League,’ I could be reading in the same day about red-and blueshifts in physics, Diodorus of Sicily and his account of the war between Amazons and Atlanteans, or deep-sea biology and what kind of life plausibly might be in the Mariana Trench.”"

Source http://collider.com/justice-league-movie-part-two-script-chris-terrio/

It's the last part that make's me wonder.

Then of course, we have the casting of Mera, and James Gordon. Because, let's face the fact. Why having Mera and Gordon in a Justice League movie, when you could easily have both in a solo Aquaman/Batman/Suicide Squad movie?

Well, Mera make's sense since it is an Atlantean focused story, and James Gordon was a part of it( and we all know how Snyder loves to make's comicbookpages alive. If you have read Throne of Atlantis you will most likely know what scene I'm talking about)

Second of all. We have Snyder posting the pic with Momoa.

You know that suit at the right to the unknown black own? It looks like it could easily be something Atlantean suit without a helmet. And I wouldn't be surprised if the black suit is a unfinnished black manta one.

Third, and one of the most important part of them all really. Their is an uphill battle in making Aquaman on the big screen, and that is the general view of him. I know that you and me, and others Aquaman readers knows that he ins't lame, but their is sure tons of people that think so. Heck their is even other comicbookreaders that don't read aquaman that think so. There is a reason why Jason Momoas Aquaman look the way he looks

Showing them what threats the Atlanteans can be, and what powerlevels they are in, (done right) could take away the stigma that has haunted the character for decades.

@Emblemmaniac - not really why would you tease darksied throughout a whole movie without hi bieng the followup. its not difficult to iagine we will just visit atlantis , aquaman and mera re a package deal , if we have a fully established aquan , era ha to be there. snyder is also just trying to hype up aquaman as a badass cuz his image has been tarnished . also that black suit could be anything , its could be steve trevors suit fro the darksied war in the comics, it could be anything

@toyin54 - Sorry for the last answer but for some reason I haven't got a notification of it. Just happens that I checked this movie after the Willem cast.

The reason that they wouldn't have him as the second villain is easy. There is something called not play your cards to fast

Mmmmmmm Flash, Aquaman & Wonder Woman sound interesting but JL sounds like a bit of a ride off, If Waller is really hunting Bats & Wonder Woman I hope she sends or considers the Suicide Squad

And if Reverse Flashs "Unique Twist" is that he's from Earth 2 I'll scream
Invincible
Invincible - 4/11/2016, 4:46 AM
@TheNerdGuy - Oh Right, forgot that part I just really hope that JL PT1 doesn't turn out to be just a road trip kinda movie hunting down all these Metahumans then make up with the government at the very end and tease Darkseid a little more then have him appear in JL PT2
TheActionAce
TheActionAce - 4/11/2016, 4:45 AM
hopefully a large chunk ok this is fake = JL, but then again it is Snyder

@TheActionAce - Come on. Even Snyder is better than this.

@Barbaros - Could also be that it's Hunter Zolomon pretending to be Jay Garrick pretending to be Zoom pretending to be Reverse Flash

But its feels a bit too obvious and what a average person could come up with after seeing BvS and knowing a little bit about Darkseid.

The darkseid redesign better be fake. You cannot change his iconic look. If that devil looking thing we saw in the deleted scene is Darkseid than Zack has already ruined JL. This better not be true.
