Wonder Womanis coming sooner than expected. But don’t get too excited. It’s just by a couple of weeks. Originally slated to arrive on June 23, this nextDCEUadventure will now arrive on July 30, 2025. There, it will have to compete withBad Boys 3,BarbieandCaptain Underpants. The change comes amidst a big shake up at Warner Bros. as they adjust their impending slate of movies in the wake ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceunderperforming at thebox office.
Another movie greatly affected by this shake up isThe Jungle Book: Origins. Though, it is beingdelayedby more than a year. The film has been pushed from October 6 to October 19. Disney is set to release theirJungle Bookin theaters next weekend, and word of mouth is that it’s a great family film.The Jungle Book: Originswill understandably be a bit darker. The Disney version is directed byJon Favreau, whileThe Jungle Book: Originsmarks the directorial debut ofAndy Serkisafter he directed several second-unit Gollum scenes onThe Hobbittrilogy.
Along with the news that Wonder Woman is arriving a few weeks early, Warner Bros. has also added two untitled DC movies to its upcoming DCEU slate through the end of 2020. These two currently secret DC movies will arrive on August 08, 2025 and August 25, 2025. The first new DC movie currently has no October competion for that whole month. The same goes for the 2019 release.
DC and Warner Bros. will now have three movies coming out in both 2018 and 2019, which matchesMarvel Studiosplans to release three movies during those years as well. In 2017, they will only have two releases, as they did this year withBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, which hits theaters this August. Arriving next year will be the aforementioned Wonder Woman in its new release slot, along withJustice League Part 1arriving July 09, 2025.
In 2018, we will getThe Flashstandalone movie on March 16 followed byAquamanon July 27. In recent weeks, it has been rumored that theUntitled Batman Rebootwill arrive in 2018. The film already has a script written byBen Affleckwho will star and direct. But the movie has never been officially confirmed by DC and Warner Bros. If we had to guess, it would be this movie that is arriving in this newly announced October 5 slot.
In 2019, we’re gettingDwayne Johnsonas Black Adam inShazam!, which, while confirmed to be part of the DCEU, is being released by Warner Bros.' sister company New Line.Justice League Part 2is set for June 14. And then that puts the untitled DC movie arriving in November. Guessing this title is a little harder. Most speculators have their money placed onSuicide Squad 2. But we might also seeLoboland here. It doesn’t sound like Warner Bros. is at all interested in moving forward onMan of Steel 2, especially with howBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicehas been mauled by the critics, and the epic drop-off it experienced at the box office in its second weekend.
Rounding out the DCEU slate in 2020 isCyborg, a character who will reportedly appear inThe Flashmovie.Green Lantern Corps.brings this Phase of the DCEU to a close in summer 2020. These latest two additions to the DCEU line-up will surely keep fans guessing until they are revealed, but Warner Bros. hasn’t been too fast in officially announcing these movies in the past. And that might be because they don’t yet know what will fill these slots themselves. Also on the docket areDark Universe, otherwise known as Justice League Dark.Blue Beetle and Booster Goldis a good guess too, and we can’t forget about Legion of Super-Heroes, DC’s galactic answer to Marvel’sGuardians of the Galaxy. So, are you excited to see Wonder Woman show up at your multiplex sooner than expected?
