‘Wonder Woman 3’ CANCELED!

Here's wishing all the dumb ass comic book movies die a quick painful death and we start having movies about human beings again

First film made 822 million; second film made 170 million.

R2 because it came out during Covid when most theaters were still closed.

It was made available on HBOMAX the same weekend it went in the few theaters that were opened. It crashed the app, so many people were trying to watch it at the same time

Good. Gal Gadot is dreadful.

James Gunn is now a studio head?

Wtf?! What the hell are our Discovery HBO Warner overlords doing?! Can someone please acquire the company from them (NOT another merger please, and by someone who knows what they are doing).

R6 he is the head of the DC division for WB.

We’ve had sufficient.

Gal Gadot can’t act her way out of a paper bag. Good riddance.

Cue feminist outrage in 3.....2.....

Bye bye, WW!

Hello WEASEL

some of the scripts/stories/canon....

*shakes head*

Is this the same guy that killed the Batwoman or Batgirl film after it was already finished?

R14 James Gunn didn’t make that choice. The new CEO did.

This merger has been a nightmare. I don’t know why they even did this.

A #BlackAdam sequel is unlikely

(via @THR)

R16 it flopped.

Wonder Woman 84 was awful. It's failure had nothing to do with Covid.

R18 the theaters were still closed nationwide. Only select theaters were open. Look into it.

No one cares R19

IT

WAS

STILL

A

FUCKING

ATROCITY

Truly. I absolutely hate Comcast, yet, I find myself hoping Comcast steps in as a white knight.

R20 I agree. But that isn’t why it had low box office.

They seem to have a problem with female superheroes. There's a pattern now. DC movies are bad enough without adding sexism to it and that's what they just did. Bringing back an old-assed white male Superman and dropping their most successful female-lead franchise? They'll reverse this.

R23 that’s Marvel also….

This clip of her as Wonder Woman sums up how awful she is.

R20, it didn't have great box office in the middle of covid. How many of their male lead movie haven't had great box office without a pandemic? Yet, they're still around and adding more male lead movies. It's going to be a problem. The implications of this are very bad for them.

R23 is insufferable.

They're doing exactly what they should be doing. Hard reset, start with a clean slate. Most of the actors playing the leads are garbage, the stories they've done so far are garbage. Toss everything.

R27 is an incel.

Gal posted this on Twitter yesterday. lol

“ A few years ago it was announced that I was going to play Wonder Woman.I’ve been so grateful for the opportunity to play such an incredible, iconic character and more than anything I’m grateful for YOU.The fans.Can’t wait to share her next chapter with you🙅🏻‍♀️🙌🏼💃🏻♥️”

Yes, r29, I’m an incel because I don’t support a terrible actress for a terrible movie. You got me. Any more woke shit you wanna spout?

R3

I was also awful, not that the first was great.

Are there really no other stories in the entire universe to tell???

I’ve yet to sit through an entire DC film.

Wonder Woman was amazing

Wonder Woman sequel was singularly horrible .

Movies aren't a zero-sum game. Movies based on comic books are a genre but that doesn't mean other genres can't be made. The problem is the movies "about normal human beings" have sucked lately. It costs something like $50 for two people to go to a movie. Those "normal human being(s)" movies are often badly-written rip-offs of older movies.

There is only ONE Wonder Woman.

R3 Also, the first one was very good and the second was awful.

R37 you’re sorta right but also off. It’s like $50 for two people to go to the movies which is why many aren’t willing to pay to see normal people movies. If I’m paying for a movie these days it’s something big and fun. Not some serious drama.

R40 has a point. Films are shit now. Television has surpassed film. To spend that amount of money to see a mediocre film which will be out on digital in 90 days is crazy.

Wonder Woman is an important character but the last movie was awful. Hopefully they can reboot the franchise.

R19? The movie sucked. I watched it the day it was released, at home. It was terrible. I was a huge fan of the first one. The second one tanked because it was a terrible movie. It had nothing to do with theaters being closed.

Ezra Miller will be recast as Wonder Woman!

So bitchy:

They were expecting a screenplay, we understand, and instead the new bosses got pieces of paper that just weren’t suitable.

Wonder Woman 2 was awful. Patty Jenkins completely ruined the goodwill people had after the first one.

[Quote] Is this the same guy that killed the Batwoman or Batgirl film after it was already finished?

Batwoman was cancelled after season 3. The Batgirl movie never saw the light of day because of Zaslav.

That's all DC does! Constantly rebooting, throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. I don't know why you're talking about the actors being garbage, none of them are Oscar winners.

[Quote] Hopefully they can reboot the franchise.

So who should play Wonder Woman next?

I generally find the DC films way too grim. The exceptions for me were Shazam and The Suicide Squad (2nd film), both of which were extremely fun and didn’t put me to sleep..

I love Peacemaker so I’m hoping for the best with James Gunn.

It’s over for the uncharismatic Gal Gadot.

Remember the trolls we had insisting that Captain Marvel was woke feminist shit and WW was *so* much better?

Is she still doing Cleopatra with Gal or did that get canceled too?

Gal is 37 which is 90 in Hollywood.

I think this is just a strategy to get rid of Patty Jenkins and bring in a fresh director (male/loves comics).

Let's face it WW2 was absolute shit! Patty pitched WW3 and the studio was like, "No thanks".

Gal is under contract, but they'll bring in a whole new team (hopefully men) who are the target audience for this franchise!

DC is a total mess.

I had no idea “Black Adam” was a bomb, it’s tough for The Rock to bomb at the box office. That’s not a good sign when The Rock can’t sell your movies.

“Wonder Woman 1984” was cute but the Wonder Woman world isn’t that interesting. I don’t think people are very invested in the series so I don’t think too many hearts will be shattered over it getting the axe.

They won’t touch the new Batman series or The Joker series.

But you can throw out the rest of the DC World. Harley Quinn is a great breakout character but they haven’t done anything decent with her (the cartoon is great though).

R51 I think she’s still doing it but they got rid of Patty with that movie too.

Things could be worse for DC. They could be Star Wars right now.

[quote] That’s not a good sign when The Rock can’t sell your movies.

How unbelievably sad that this can be said with a straight face.

Patty Jenkins came out of nowhere. I'll never understand where she came from. I assume, it's "nepotism".

Just wasn’t interested in the Israeli soldier movies.

Recast please.

it would b divine if lynda carter returns as an old ww, showing a new brazillian ww the rope

Good, the second one sucked.

First one was good but sloggish at the end. Second one was dreck with fun bits. I'm hoping James Gunn will make the DC universe work but, fuck, I am so sick of superhero movies.

[Quote] That’s not a good sign when The Rock can’t sell your movies.

Not even Henry's cameo could save it.

[Quote] it would b divine if lynda carter returns as an old ww, showing a new brazillian ww the rope

Well she was in WW84 as an older Amazon.

Loved Carter in the TV show, but DC movies never seem to work except for Batman or adjacent. Loved the two Burton films (Batman Returns in particular) and enjoyed Gotham as a camp-fest with some great gay talent but the rest of it...ugh. Batman Begins was solidly made and well-acted but then they decided to scrub every bit of Gothic atmosphere out of the sets. Who wants to see Batman in daylight battling through what might as well be Dallas?

Did not care for the first Gadot film and have skipped pretty much everything else. Black Adam was horrifically bad if well-intentioned, and the group of superheroes they assembled just underlined how Marvel struck comedy gold with their casting. There was a sense of rapport between the performers that DC has never managed to till.

I agree that television has taken over "serious" content and the big screen is basically a playground. That doesn't have to be an entirely bad thing if the televised dramas pull their weight and the playground is fun.

DC is not fun.

[quote] Ezra Miller will be recast as Wonder Woman!

Nope, not butch enough.

The first one was close to being brilliant and then Patty sacked the first movies writer and "crafted" her own script that featured rape as a semi joke and expected it to be loved, the mess off a movie that the second one became cost her the star wars gig.

The second one was embarrassing with Kristen Wiig and Chris Pine.

Just like they found Lynda Carter in the 1970s, there's a beautiful, statuesque, athletic actress somewhere out there that would make a fantastic Wonder Woman. But they won't bother to look, because they're DC. They'll look over the list of young actresses on the come-up and see who they can shoehorn into the role.

It amazes me that all this time (more or less) they've had Henry Cavill but they've only had him star in two movies, MoS and BvS. You have a gorgeous heartthrob playing your flagship character and you spend the better part of a decade just using him as a plot device (JL) or a supporting character. Make a new Superman film and use these other characters as HIS supporting characters. They should build their universe around Superman the way Marvel built theirs around Iron Man.

I agree it's time to recast WW with a younger unknown actor who actually looks the part and fits the role.

[Quote] They'll look over the list of young actresses on the come-up and see who they can shoehorn into the role.

Ugh why does she have to be younger? Why can't someone like Alexandra Daddario play the part?

At the moment there's still the Superman show on CW, but that will probably be getting cancelled soon.

Henry pissed off WB when he approached them about a MoS sequel with Christopher McQuarrie directing. McQuarrie said it went so bad he would never approach WB again. The other issue is that Henry's manager is also the Rock's (and his ex wife) which means he will always come first. That's why there's all these stupid articles about The Rock wanting Black Adam to be the centre of the DCVerse.

A reboot of Wonder Woman every five years sounds about right to us.

[quote]Ugh why does she have to be younger?

Because narratively, the character is an immortal demigoddess. She doesn't age. From the business side of things, DC wants a franchise player who can inhabit the role (of an immortal demigoddess who doesn't age) for at least a decade. From a purely aesthetic point of view, she needs to be young and "hot" for male superhero fans who are the primary target.

[quote]Why can't someone like Alexandra Dadderio play the part?

At 36, she's only one year younger than Gal Gadot. She's also not right looks-wise. Alexandra is very pretty, but not quite beautiful and certainly not "goddess" level beautiful. I'm not seeing it.

R64 Burton’s Gotham wasn’t campy or gay. It was dark and dangerous. Schumacher is the one who made Gotham colorful and campy, which is what he was hired to do after they dropped Burton because Returns underperformed and there were parents who refused to take their kids because they felt it was too dark and didn’t feel child friendly.

The McDonalds tie-in to Batman Returns even had drama around it. It was a mess.

How times have changed over the last 30 years.

WW84 actually performed well despite the poor reception, which is why the 3rd was green-lit. It was cancelled because they are completely redoing the DCEU.

I’m bummed about not getting to see Circe, my favorite Wonder Woman villain.

She doesn't need to be that young to play an immortal and who cares what the male fanboys want when it comes to WW. They bitch about everything anyway.

36 isn't old and i think she's beautiful. But i don't see her being interested in playing this character. I actually think she gets fancast more often to play Zatanna.

The canceled it because they didn’t like Patty Jenkins screenplay and she literally refused to rework it despite WB demanding it. Instead of finding someone new they decided to just cancel it all together since they’re retooling the DC division now that James Gunn is in charge.

I don’t know a single straight man or woman who doesn’t think Gal Gadot is attractive. Everyone online says she’s beautiful too. And she is very hot with a very naturally pretty face.

To the person who said Captain Marvel was better than WW, it really really wasn’t.

I will take Captain Marvel over Love & Thunder. That movie was beyond obnoxious.

Black Adam was ok?? But i give most of the credit to the supporting actors.

[quote]who cares what the male fanboys want

[quote]36 isn't old

Have you never heard of "Hollywood?" Is the concept entirely unknown to you? Studios executives actually care a lot about "what male fanboys" want, and 36 is practically menopausal to them.

But Gal is gorgeous. That’s what they care about.

R76, I was referring to the TV show "Gotham" which was campy as all get-out. Should have made that more clear.

Burton's version of Gotham City was indeed an intimidating place.

What sucked about WW84 movie was the weak ass villain, the bad CGI and the stupid kumbaya speech in the end. The first WW was grittier. Gal is not a great actress but she had made the character her own. I hope they keep her and give her blue contact lenses

Gal would look ridiculous with blue eyes.

Wonder Woman supposed to have blue eyes

Well she hasn’t in the movie world. So no.

Why would she suddenly have blue eyes? Gal wouldn’t look good either. She has dark features that wouldn’t blend with blue eyes.

[quote]Wonder Woman supposed to have blue eyes

Based on what? The comic books? If that's true she's also "supposed to" wear a pair of star-spangled panties.

No one cares what color eyes she has. Blue eyes don't make a lot of sense anyway since she's most likely ethnically Greek or Anatolian, aka Turkish.

WW84 needed more Cheetah, less Max Lord.

WW84 was shit

The last one sucked.

AGREE r93

[Quote] Have you never heard of "Hollywood?" Is the concept entirely unknown to you? Studios executives actually care a lot about "what male fanboys" want, and 36 is practically menopausal to them.

I don't know what year you're posting from but a lot of women are just as interested in superhero movies. And the studio executives have made a complete mess of WB for years now.

Women are Wonder Woman fans. We grew up with her and wore her UnderRoos and made ourselves aluminum foil bracelets! Men don't like female superheroes unless they're sluts.

[quote] Wonder Woman supposed to have blue eyes

She's only a fictional character, Jill. Go away and learn some more about periods.

Imagine there’s no Wonder Woman …

R100 and instead we get Wonder Girl?

She'll be black or brown in any new film.

Gal Gadot lacks charisma and screen presence. Hope this puts the final nail in the coffin that is called her career.

She has just as much charisma and screen presence as Cavill does as Superman.

R102 I doubt it. They would probably give Nubia her own share than make Diana black.

R104 and it looks like Cavill is getting a second chance.

R83, I didn't say Captain Marvel was better. I was talking about the aggressive, anti-woke, anti-feminist trolls we had bitching about Captain Marvel and praising WW.

Imagine there’s no Gal Gadot

It isn’t hard to do

She’s been removed from Flash

The way all of these shit actors are being tossed in one fell swoop is hysterical.

R108, she has a cameo in the end of the credits button.
