THE ROCK CO-STARRING IN ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’? A more perfect union! Set for 2016.
The Rock is going to be co-starring in the Justice League flick? Which is going to begin filming right after Batman vs. Superman vs. Gal Godot vs. Aquaman vs. Good Taste? Now that’s a fucking doozy of a rumor.
You might have missed it, but Dwayne Johnson kicked off the New Year teasing that he was meeting with Warner Bros. about a DC Comics project that would be in the works in 2014. Of course, this sent people digging for info and some rumors are surfacing of what it could be all about.
The guys at Latino Review are reporting that their sources tell them that Dwayne Johnson will actually be part of “Justice League,” and that Warner Bros. are planning to shoot the superhero mashup back-to-back with “Batman Vs. Superman,” while eyeing a 2016 release. Apparently, this decision is being made to maximize the time the studio will have with the ensemble, so they don’t waste a moment in ensuring a followup to their big comic movie. Latino Review also claim “Batman Vs. Superman” will end with a giant cliffhanger, that will be resolved by the team up flick.
On the one hand, it makes sense, from a practical point of view, but there are some questions. Firstly, it would presume that David S. Goyer has managed to knock out both “Batman Vs. Superman” and “Justice League” scripts that are good to go. It would see Warner Bros. accelerating their schedule and leaping over a planned “The Flash” movie for 2016, which was supposed to be followed by “Justice League” in 2017. Also, it would presume that a director other than Zack Snyder is being lined up (unless he’s a superhuman and manages to juggle both movies at the same time).
