Zack Snyder confirms his Snyderverse at DC has ended. Snyder directed three movies for the DCEU. The news has prompted surprise from fans who wished the Snyderverse to be sold to Netflix.
A Box Set containing the films. The SnyderVerse is an alternate version of an America media franchise and shared universe known as the (DCEU) that is centered on a series of superhero films, which is produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and based on characters who appeared in DC Comics.
The DCEU will officially conclude on December 20, 2023, with the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. While 2018's Aquaman became a smash hit, grossing over $1 billion at the box office, predictions aren't as high for the sequel despite the majority of the primary cast returning.
Goyer, screenwriter of Man of Steel (2013), the first DCEU film by Zack Snyder with Henry Cavill debuting as Superman, believes that the failure of said universe comes from the bad decision of Warner Bros. of trying to build a shared universe in the style of Marvel instead of betting on a direct sequel to Man of Steel.
The abrupt cancelation of Henry Cavill's Man of Steel 2 is the latest bombshell news from DC that confirms once and for all that the Snyderverse is officially dead, which is the right move for the DCU.
The movies mostly made a profit, but the team-up films were met with diminishing financial returns domestically. Justice League, the supposed white whale of DC film properties, made less than the universe-inciting Man of Steel by domestic and global metrics.
After the original director, Zack Snyder, was replaced by Joss Whedon, a tumultuous behind-the-scenes situation led to what all can reasonably call a “lesser product.” An unprecedented fan movement led to the eventual HBO Max release of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
And alas, no Justice League 2 ever came to pass, although the Snyder Cut did finally see the light of day. Read full article on The Direct. The first trailer for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon confirms that his planned Justice League trilogy will likely never be made available for public viewing.
In response to a fan asking how Blue Beetle, the Warner Bros. film that debuted theatrically last month starring Xolo Maridueña, would factor into the new plans, Gunn replied, “Xolo Maridueña will continue playing Blue Beetle in the DCU, as Viola Davis will Amanda Waller, and John Cena will Peacemaker.”
It had a worldwide opening of $278.8 million. Up against an estimated break-even point of as much as $750 million, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film lost the studio around $60 million. Due to the film losing the studio money, the movie was deemed a "box office bomb" or "flop".
As Snyder's demands escalated behind the scenes — including for more money to finish his four-hour director's cut of the film for HBO Max and access to intellectual property — so did a flood of attacks aimed at Warner Bros.: calls for boycotts, demands for some executives to be fired, even death threats against them.
One of the biggest factors in the DCU failures was the leadership at Warner Bros., both in their failure to adjust their plans while also being too reactionary.
First of all, VFX teams that had to wait for final footage before completing their effects had little time to polish and finalize their work, making most of the VFX shots simply a "best effort" endeavor with the VFX artists doing the best they could do, simply lacking the time needed to provide the same quality they ...
It is dedicated to the production of films, series, and animations based on characters from DC Comics, among them is their flagship franchise, the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). James Gunn and Peter Safran assumed control of the company, on November 1, 2022.
JLU debuted on July 31, 2004, on Toonami and ended on May 13, 2006. It is the eighth and final series of the DC Animated Universe, serving as the conclusion to a shared universe which began with Batman: The Animated Series.
Having more Advocates and Intentionalists in a fandom, as Marvel (with 66%) does over DC (with 61%), can be an advantage for a franchise — but it's not quite that cut-and-dried. According to Fandom's study, 81% of Marvel fans would watch anything released in the franchise, while 67% of DC fans would do the same.
While the Marvel and DC's heroes are pretty evenly matched in some places, DC's would prove too powerful for Marvel's superteams to handle. Beyond the fact that DC's heroes are overall more powerful, they have many advantages. From magic-users to Kryptonians to the Flash Family, Marvel can't match DC's power.
But what is most interesting, after the long saga of this name, is that with James Gunn's wonderfully active twitter presence, we find that he keeps calling his new shared universe not the DCEU, but the DCU. This would be, simply, the DC Universe.
Despite the failure of Black Adam which saw only a $393 million worldwide gross against a $260 million budget, subsequent releases from the DCEU in the year after the film's release somehow shine a more positive light on the Johnson-led blockbuster.
Man of Steel premiered in the Alice Tully Hall on June 10, 2013, and was released in the United States on June 14, 2013. Critics felt the film's visually-appealing action sequences were not enough to overcome its descent into "generic blockbuster territory", and they were divided over Cavill's performance as Superman.
