Five
years ago I did a series of posts about my excitement levels for the
upcoming movies meaning mostly superhero ones. There are a ton of DC
movies coming out and I am gonna focus on the ones that at least have
a cast because DC has a shit ton of stuff in development. There are
some that I covered before that still have not come out and after a
series of unsuccessful films. Okay, fine. I'll still talk about some
of the ones that are allegedly gonna come out. I won't get into how
DC has actual dozens of TV shows and still waste time on finding a
way to make a movie that has zero connection to them with dozens more
that were canceled with others coming back on a different network. I
rate these on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being “Meh” and 5 being “Get
hype, hookers!”
Birds
Of Prey
Excitement
Level - 1/5
Cast:
Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie
Perez, Ella Jay Basco, and Ewan McGregor.
Close
to zero desire to see this. Was Harley Quinn one of the best things
about Suicide Squad? Sure. The movie was still terrible and hearing
that voice she puts on during the trailer was too much for me. They
needed to do a live action Mad Love before doing this. Harley isn't
even a Birds Of Prey team member! It makes no sense. DC keeps
managing to shoot themselves in the foot by trying to dive too far in
their stories. And don't think I'm not mad at who they picked to play
Black Canary. That character is legit one of the most bad ass (and
hot) comic book characters and their choice of actresses does not
blow my whistle. And Black Mask as a villain in what looks like a
nonsense fest? Come on. I don't even want to think about how they
introduce Cassandra Cain into this. Who? Exactly.
Wonder
Woman 1984
Excitement
Level – 1/5
Cast:
Gal Gadot, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Pine
Did I
see the first Wonder Woman? Yes. Was it good? Not really. It was fine
for what it was. A follow up to a series of shitty DC movies. I don't
know why they decided to put the story in the past when what DC needs
to do is move forward. They are literally doing the same shit twice.
In the first film there was no sense of danger because it took place
almost 100 years ago. Now its a story taking place when I was fucking
five years old. Why? I wonder if she will die? Of course not! We've
seen her in a few other films! It is a waste of time. And the story
looks weak as shit. Try harder.
The
Batman
Excitement
Level – 4/5
Cast:
Robert Pattinson, Zoe Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Andy Serkis,
Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, and Peter Sarsgaard
The
next Batman movie went through so much nonsense before with director
changes before Ben Affleck finally bounced out after wasting
everyone's time with his version of Batman. That Batman looked
awesome but, holy shit, he was not anyone's favorite Batman. They
have a new director (let me look up his credits and...aw fuck) and
its starring Pattinson. If this was ten years ago I would have been
upset bit after seeing how much I loved Joker I am fine with them
just making a whole new Batman movie. It doesn't even need a sequel.
Hell, don't know how it can considering this movie has already cast
Catwoman, The Riddler, Penguin, Falcone, and possibly Two-Face.
That's a lot of fucking characters for one film. It has a pretty
strong cast and doesn't have the stank of previous Batman movies and
is in no way connected to the shit show DC has been giving me.
The
Suicide Squad
Excitement
Level – 5/5
Cast:
Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Viola Davis, Michael Rooker, Joel
Kinnaman, John Cena, Jai Courtney, Nathan Fillion, David
Dastmalchian, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Sean Gunn, Storm Reid, Pete
Davidson, Flula Borg, Peter Capaldi, Joaquín Cosío, Mayling Ng,
Juan Diego Botto, Steve Agee, Tinashe Kajese, Daniela Melchior, Julio
Ruis, and Jennifer Holland
With
as much shit as I talked about the first Suicide Squad I got hype as
shit when I found out that James Gunn was directing this. The cast is
huge as hell which is exactly what it needs to be. I want to see a
bunch of C-level villains dying. That is exactly what this type of team is made for. I believe that Gunn has the ability
to make a bunch of lame ass characters awesome. Seriously, who the
hell even knew what a Groot was before Gunn got his hands on him? I
do wish that no one from the first film was involved, but what can
you do?
Black
Adam
Excitement
Level - 5/5
Cast:
Dwayne Johnson
If
this is just Hobbs & Shaw with superpowers I am gonna be throwing
my panties at the screen. Interesting choice in director but
whatever. I just want to see The Rock looking awesome in that costume
and punching shit with lightning. Shazam had no right to be as good
as it was and I for some silly ass reason think that this movie will
be way better than it should be.
The
Trench
Excitement
Level - 1/5
Cast:
TBD
I give
zero fucks about the underwater world of Aquaman. I didn't think his
movie was bad and thought the world looked cool but that was it. I
had no desire to learn anymore about it.
Batgirl
Excitement
Level – 1/5
Cast:
TBA
Joss
Whedon was gonna direct this a while back. They have a writer and
want a lady to direct. I know with how shitty that Batwoman series
has been received I wouldn't be rushing to make this. Four years ago
I tried to cast who should play her. Now I just don't care. My
problem with anything Batman related in any way that does not start
fresh has the stank of the Affleck Batman on it.
