As promised, the first trailer for Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League was released during DC FanDome, but there was no gameplay footage to be seen. Instead, we have an amusing first look which sheds some light on the tone of Rocksteady’s latest visit to the DC Universe. 

A brief synopsis for the game has also been released, stating: “The creators of the Batman: Arkham series are back with a brand new action-adventure shooter. The most dangerous villains in the DC Universe have been forced to team up and take on a new mission: Kill the Justice League. Create Chaos in Metropolis. You are the Suicide Squad.”

It seems as if Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Deadshot will be the four playable leads, and they’re tasked with taking down the Justice League after Braniac attacks Metropolis (which seemingly leads to them turning evil based on Superman’s shocking actions). 

Unfortunately, here’s where things take a disappointing turn for Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. The hope was that Rocksteady had been working on the title for years, but it’s clearly far from done as a release date of 2022 has now been confirmed. That’s obviously two years from now!

Check out the trailer below:

The Shazam! panel at DC FanDome was good fun, but if you were hoping for any major reveals, you’ll likely have been disappointed. In fairness, cameras are nowhere near ready to start rolling on the sequel, especially after COVID-19 recently saw its release date shift from April 2022 to November that same year. However, there was one big surprise!

Zachary Levi was joined by co-stars like Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer, and it was then that they revealed the follow-up will be titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods. 

Considering the fact we’ve been under the impression that the “Marvel Family” will be battling Mister Mind and Dr. Sivana, it’s hard not to wonder what this title could mean for the Shazam! sequel. While it’s still possible they’ll be facing the Monster Society of Evil, chances are the stakes will be a little higher, and it’s possible that “fury” could refer to another God: Black Adam. 

It seems a little too early for that particular crossover, though, but the stakes are clearly going to be high in David F. Sandberg’s movie, and we can’t wait to see what form that takes.

Aquaman had its own brief panel at DC FanDome, and if you enjoyed the movie, then you’ll have likely loved seeing director James Wan catch up with star Patrick Wilson (Orm/Ocean Master).

As you might expect, it’s way too soon for us to get any news on Aquaman 2, but it was confirmed that Wilson will reprise his role as Arthur Curry’s half-brother after Orm’s defeat at the end of the first movie. That’s not exactly a huge reveal as it’s been believed that would be the case since the sequel was first announced (Black Manta, meanwhile, is likely to be the lead villain based on past reports).

Something of note that Wan did say is that his sequel is a “little bit more serious, a little bit more relevant to the world right now. I can definitely promise you new worlds in this one.”

Where in Atlantis we’ll visit remains to be seen, but Aquaman proved that there are plenty of destinations this franchise can take us we might not have expected to see. Notable by his absence at DC FanDome was the King of Atlantis himself, Jason Momoa. We can only assume he was too busy as the actor also wasn’t part of the star-studded Justice League panel with Zack Snyder. 

Are you guys looking forward to seeing more of Ocean Master in Aquaman 2?

Earlier this month, we learned that Marvel Studios has tapped Candyman director Nia DaCosta to take the helm of Captain Marvel 2. Now, Murphy’s Multiverse has reported that the plan is for the sequel to be shot at Pinewoods Studios in the UK as well as other parts of Europe. 

Very little is known about what to expect from the sequel, though rumours continue to run rampant that it will somehow adapt the Secret Invasion storyline. There have even been rumblings of some sort of companion series, so we could be looking forward to an event that takes place across film and television (which would definitely be something new for Marvel Studios). 

Here’s where things get really interesting, though; The DisInsider has added to that, noting that, “Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, who co-wrote and directed the first film are not returning for the sequel, but will stay in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as they are likely directing the Disney+  Ms. Marvel series.”

This is obviously the first we’ve heard of that, though it does make sense. There’s no reason to suspect they had a bad time working on Captain Marvel – it grossed over $1 billion worldwide – and Marvel Studios knows they can trust them with telling Kamala Khan’s story in Ms. Marvel. 

How would you guys feel about Fleck and Boden taking charge of Ms. Marvel instead of Captain Marvel 2? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments section.
