If you’re a fan of the heroes and villains within the DC universe, you will be pleased to know that there are a large number of movies and TV shows on the way. We don’t have any news of a new Batman or Superman movie but you have plenty of other projects to look forward to, many of which feature characters that haven’t been seen on the screen before.DC League Of Super-Pets (Movie) – July 29th 2022
When Superman and the other members of the Justice League are kidnapped, it’s up to their super pets to save the day! The starry voice cast of this animated feature includes Dwayne Johnson as Krypto the Superdog, Kevin Hart as Ace the Bat-Hound, Keanu Reeves as Batman, and John Krasinski as Superman.The Sandman (Netflix TV Show) – August 5th 2022
Don’t sleep on this one! This upcoming fantasy drama is based on Neil Gaiman’s comic book and it has been much anticipated by fans of the source material. The series focuses on the title character (played by Tom Sturridge) who escapes from captivity after being mistakenly imprisoned by a secret society. Upon his release, the Sandman (also known as Dream) finds himself in the modern world where he sets off on a mission of revenge against those who captured him.
Gwendoline Christie, Vivienne Acheampong, Boyd Holbrook, and Charles Dance are among the cast of this magical series that will hopefully stick closely to Gaiman’s acclaimed work.Black Adam (Movie) – October 21st 2022
The movie has been in the works since the early 2000s and is finally making its way to the screen courtesy of Orphan director Jaume Collet-Serra. Dwayne Johnson takes on the role of Black Adam, the antihero that is supposedly as powerful as Superman, and the cast also includes Pierce Brosnan, Noah Centineo, and Sarah Shahi. In the movie, Black Adam joins up with the Justice Society of America, but when it comes to his skewed morality, it would appear that he’s not a great fit for the team.Shazam! Fury of the Gods (Movie) – December 21st, 2022
2019’s Shazam! was a welcome antidote to Zach Snyder’s accomplished but overly serious DC offerings. It was an often hilarious superhero flick that had a lot of heart to boot, with a superb Zachary Levi (Chuck) lighting up the screen as the title character.
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods sees the return of Levi and Asher Angel as Billy Batson and they are joined by their foster family who were turned into superheroes towards the end of the last movie. Mark Strong won’t be returning as the villainous Dr Thaddeus Sivana as Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu will be taking on the villain roles this time around as the daughters of the Greek titan Atlas.
Batgirl (HBO Max Movie) – December 2022
Leslie Grace (In The Heights) will star as Batgirl in an origin movie that will also star JK Simmons as her father, Commissioner James Gordon, and Michael Keaton as Batman. Plot details are scarce at this point but it will be set within the DCEU, unlike Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which took place within a separate universe. Brendan Fraser will also star in the movie as Firefly, the pyromaniac super-baddie that was last seen in the now-cancelled TV show, Gotham.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (Movie) – March 17th 2023
James Wan returns to direct the second Aquaman movie and Jason Momoa will once again be making a splash as the titular hero. According to the official synopsis, “when an ancient power is unleashed, Aquaman must forge an uneasy alliance with an unlikely ally to protect Atlantis, and the world, from irreversible devastation.” Business as usual then for the wise-cracking King of Atlantis in his second solo.
