THE SUICIDE SQUAD Producer Charles Roven Says Another JUSTICE LEAGUE Movie Is Likely "Years Away"

Veteran DC Films producer Charles Roven has shared a vague update on the future of the Justice League franchise, indicating that a reboot is coming, but probably not for a while yet. Read on for details!

Zack Snyder's Justice League was released on HBO Max earlier this year to great fanfare, and while the reviews were positive, it remains unclear just how beneficial it was to the streaming service. 

The filmmaker's fans are certainly happy now, though, even if it's become increasingly clear that Warner Bros. is looking to move on from the "SnyderVerse." The question is, where does that leave the Justice League in the DC Extended Universe moving forward? The 2017 theaterical version bombed, but if The Suicide Squad has proved anything, it's that a franchise can be saved by the right director.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, veteran DC Films producer Charles Roven was asked about his future working on these movies, and dropped a possible hint about what could be in store for the Justice League on the big screen somewhere down the line. 

"If it was a Superman movie that involved Henry [Cavill], I would be involved, at least for a couple more. If it was a Batman-involved product like Batman v Superman or Justice League, I would be involved in those," he explained. "Suicide Squad, I would be involved in those, up until a certain amount. I’m not really affiliated with Aquaman. I have nothing to do with Shazam!"

But still have an affiliation with some more Suicide Squads, which I’m thrilled about. I hope James will, when he’s got some time, come back and see if he’s going to do another one of these, because he did such an amazing job," Roven continued. "I would definitely be a part of that. Probably another Justice League, although I think that’s a number of years away."

You have to believe Warner Bros. has something planned for the Justice League, but it's no great surprise that they want to leave a little more space between the last two movies before announcing anything. Right now, the backlash to any non-Snyder related project with the heroes would be...vocal.

Where would you like to see the superhero team's franchise head next?

@dragon316 - I'm sorry man but I just can't agree. The Snyder Cut was not good, it was 4 hours of the same flawed writing and storytelling that Snyder emplored for his previous DCEU movies.
It was drab, the characters lacked any depth and semblance to their comic-book counterparts and the only characters they tried to give any depth to felt like a 3rd graders attempt to make a character feel edgy and dark rather than fleshed out.

I fully understand that this film and Snyder himself has fans but I just couldn't in good concience agree that Snyder needs more control over the DCEU. Matter of fact Snyder needs people to reign him in, rather than letting him off the leash. His best films are those where other people have written everything for him and the material itself restricts him.

@dragon316 - All Zack Snyder movies at Rotten Tomatoes. Snyder one of the worst directors in Hollywood. Snyder fans need to stop trying to force him on the majority of movie goers.

1) Justice League Snyder Cut 71%
2) DAWN OF THE DEAD 74% (Written by James Gunn)
3) WATCHMEN 65%
4) LEGEND OF THE GUARDIANS: THE OWLS OF GA'HOOLE 52%
5) 300 61%
6) MAN OF STEEL 56%
7) BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE 29%
8) SUCKER PUNCH 22%
9) Army of the Dead 68%

The only thing that didn't work for me in the new movie was the ending, the build up was immense and paying off.. and then Yada Yada the movie ended. Polka Dot Man and Peacemaker were the stand outs for me, also Ratcatcher 2 lol

Him not having anything to do with Shazam and Aquaman kind of makes it sound like it's a good thing he wasn't invovled.
These two were easily the best (next to the first WW film and TSS) that came out of the DCEU.

While certainly more on a Marvel-tone these two films felt less like the edgy, pseudo (surface level) philosophical and more or less cringe induced films that came before.

Keep thinking OMAC or Amazo would serve as a good antagonistic force to the Justice League, but I think WB is gonna stick to Apocalypse villains.

@bkmeijer - Simon Pegg is my Professor Ivo. Maybe during the time that Superman was dead, he worked on the "Man of Steel" project.


Many years later and after an attack against him, Ivo returns with his definitive project.

@Repian - I thought Pegg could make a fun Simon Stagg too, but as Ivo is a pretty cool casting too and one I now wanna see happen.

Either way Pegg as the villain for the next Justice League movie would be really unexpected, but one that I can see work.

Now that I think about it, doing a Superman movie before Justice League could set up a lot of stuff for JL.

I want Brainiac to be the villain for Superman, but before we get Brainic we have Superman coming into contact with Ivo's Cyborg Superman. Eventually CS is taken over by Brainiac, Superman defeats both and Ivo slips away.

Then in Justice League, Ivo builds Amazo or OMACs, based on the initial CS project data. But this time around Superman can't do it alone, so the Justice League step in to help him. Even then it's too much and Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman and Aquaman get captured, which leads Batman to turn to Batgirl, Supergirl, Blue Beetle and Static to save the day.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - Depending on how they set up their new universe and whether or not they choose to take advantage of the Batman reboot, the Superman reboot and Aquaman sequel as all the same universe, we could be waiting a very long, long time for a workable Justice League franchise or we could even have one in a few years.

Batman - 2022.
Flash - 2022.
Aquaman: Lost Kingdom - 2022.
Green Lantern Corps - 2023.
Superman - 2023.
Wonder Woman softboot - 2024.
Flash sequel/reboot - 2024.

Justice League - 2025.

Look how easy that was. And I'm basically a monkey. Come on, WB!
