Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceis shaping up to be one of the biggest movies this year. But, in reality, it’s just the beginning for theDCExtended Universe (DCEU). Later in 2016, we’ll be introduced to theSuicide Squad, withWonder Woman(August 26, 2025),Justice League Part 1(July 07, 2025),The Flash(June 21, 2025) andAquaman(July 22, 2025) coming over the last half of this decade. While promotingBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, producerDeborah Snyderlaid out the production schedule for the DCEU as it currently stands, in an interview withCollider. Here’s what she had to say below, where she confirmed one interesting detail aboutWonder Woman.
“SoSuicide Squadis in post and that comes out later this summer, andWonder Womanwe just finished most of the bulk of principal photography in London. They’re taking a two-week hiatus so Gal [Gadot] can come and do press, and then we go back and shoot the Themiscyra sections in Italy, and then come back for some pickups in London, just some green screen and some tank work, and things like that. We startJustice LeagueApril 11th and that is at Leavesden, mostly on stage and some locations around there as well as Iceland and I think a beat in Scotland at the end of the schedule. And we are working withJames Wanon the development of theAquamanscript right now, and I’m hoping that sometime first quarter of next year we’ll be in production on that movie as well as working on the script forThe Flash. So it’s a little busy. It’s amazing to be able to get the opportunity to bring these great characters to life. It’s like a dream come true. It’s crazy. It’s busy but we love doing what we do.”
The producer’s comments essentially confirm a rumor from several months ago, that part ofWonder Womanwill be set on the title character’s home island of Themyscira. There was a rumor that the movie would take place during World War I, which has been confirmed, along with present day, which will tie in to the upcomingJustice League Part 1. We reported in September that the movie would be partially shot in Basilicata, Italy, with many speculating that they would be scenes set in Themyscira. When asked about the diverse nature of the DCEU,Deborah Snyderspoke about how different these movies are from one another.
“They’re so different from each other. (Suicide Squaddirector)David (Ayer)has created this really fun movie about bad guys trying to do good, and it’s brazen, and it has just a really great tone to it, so it’s really fun. And it’s so different from BvS and it’s completely different from whatPatty Jenkinsis doing withWonder Woman. WithWonder Woman, it’s an origin story, it takes place also in World War I, so as you may imagine you’re kind of in a completely different world. And even just the color palette and everything of the films are so different from one another. And I think that’s what’s so great about having these directors come on board who have a very strong vision and point of view for these characters and these amazing stories and they can really make it their own, so that’s pretty cool.”
AfterThe FlashandAquamandebut in 2018,Shazam!will arrive on Aug 25, 2025, followed byJustice League Part 2(August 03, 2025),Cyborg(July 30, 2025) andGreen Lantern Corps.(June 24, 2025). Virtually nothing is known any any of these projects yet, but we’ll be sure to keep you posted as soon as more announcements are made. What do you think about the DCEU production schedule?
