- Wonder Woman 1984
Director
Patty JenkinsCast
Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig,
Pedro PascalRelease date
5 June 2020Let’s take a look at what we’ve got here: Kristen Wiig as Cheetah, a super villain that can acquire
feline powers and turn into a humanoid cheetah; Lynda Carter in a possible cameo role; the whole
thing being set in the Eighties; Diana Prince fighting in the Cold War. There’s no possible way Wonder
Woman 1984 could go wrong. Partner all those points with the fact that the brilliant Patty Jenkins is once
again in charge guarantees that we are going to love it. The only thing we’re scratching our heads over
is the fact that Chris Pine is returning as Steve Trevor. Given that he died at the end of the first film (which
was set in World War I) we don’t quite know how Jenkins is going to bring him back. But we’re excited
to find out.
- Shazam!
Director: David F Sandberg
Cast: Zachary Levi, Mark Strong, Asher Angel,
Jack Dylan Grazer
Release: 5 April 2019
One thing stood out more than anything
in the Shazam! trailer: the fact that some
of the characters actually seem to have a
good time. It’s alright frowning when your
alien home planet has been destroyed or if
your parents were murdered when you were
a kid, but as a viewer it can also get a bit
exhausting. Asher Angel plays Billy Batson,
a kid with a big imagination, while Zachary
Levi plays his alter ego, a grown man in a
spandex suit with incredible superpowers.
He is Shazam and we are psyched.
- Flashpoint
Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein
Cast: Ezra Miller, Billy Crudup, Kiersey Clemons
Release: 2020
After the hours of gloom that made up
Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman:
Dawn Of Justice, Ezra Miller finally brought
some personality to the dude side of the
DCEU as Barry Allen/The Flash in Justice
League. Up to this point, the series seemed
to never know what to do with their male
superheroes, but we have little doubt that
Flashpoint is going to be a blast. Combining
the gritty action of the DCEU, the comedy
stylings of directing duo John Francis Daley
and Jonathan Goldstein and Ezra Miller
might prove to be a winning formula.Team time Meet the players on Harley Quinn’s other super-team
