Kristen Wiig Being Lassoed For Villain Role On ‘Wonder Woman 2’

DC has had three female led superhero films out of the 25. Marvel has had none. Marvel's X-Men universe and the MCU have produced at least 28 films and none of them have starred women, including X-Men: Days of Future Past that swapped out a comic storyline featuring Kitty Pryde for Wolverine.

What's the value in mentioning that in a series where one of the main complaints from nearly all quarters is how ridiculously more prominent Mystique has been than she is in X-Men lore. t:

At around 13 minutes in, Campea claims a major bombshell concerning the franchise is coming soon.

 

[Zant]

There is always a major bombshell concerning the DCEU every week.....Its just boring now.....

 

[RomanticPenguin]

[THE WOLF]

Campea is such an attention ****e. Why even bring it up if you aren’t going to share the full story. What a clown

 

[The Guard]

Top Five from DC Films: Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Supergirl, and Mera.

Top Five from animation: Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Hawkgirl, Vixen, Starfire.



It's funny because that has nothing to do with this conversation or the argument I am making. This discussion is about potential, and which company has the greatest potential to promote female characters in live action, particularly in leading roles.

DC, in my opinion, is better position because it has better source material, has a stronger foundation in animation and television to familiarize the audience with its female characters over decades, and has shown more interest in investing in female characters in live action.

DC has led the way when it comes to female characters starting in the 70s with the Wonder Woman television show and its amazing success with DC Superhero girls. Since the 80s, DC has produced more female-led films than Marvel despite Marvel making more films than DC.

I don't think your claims are supported.

My claims are 100% supported because your initial argument doesn't make sense. it doesn't matter if DC has 100 female-led movies if they are bad ones and they damage the genre instead of helping it.

Catwoman and Supergirl are live ammo to the argument that comic book movies with female-led characters don't sell. That is actually a point Ike made in his Sony e-mails citing those films. It's completely misguided argument but the fact is that the first two DC female led movies actually did damage instead of helping representation.

And i was clearly talking about Marvel Studios so leave Fox out of this. Soon the Fox characters will be MCU as well.

Your argument that DC had female cbms first holds no water. It actually embarrasses them more since they have been making cbms WAY BEFORE Marvel and despite the fact they did it first they didn't get it right until last year. And even then MCU outnumbers them in good female characters, a point you conveniently omit.

Right now Marvel was WAY MORE good female characters for young girls to relate to because those CHARACTERS ARE LIVE-ACTION and have gotten 10x more exposure than animated or comics characters. Shuri is more popular than 90% of DC female heroes and even you will have difficulty denying that.

The big DCEU bombshell will be that some executive we've never heard of but has worked on a number of films that had varying degrees of success is stepping into some key role in determining the future of WB's DC Comics properties.


Pop the bubbly.

 

[The Guard]

Well hey, if we've never heard of them, there won't be a lot of preheated fanboy rage about them destroying this project or that project singlehandedly, so that's...good news, right?

 

[UltimatePyro9]

It might perpetuate the same notion that the WB still have no idea they know what they’re doing.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

more bad news coming for the DCEU huh

Really hope it isn’t Reeves. I’d like him to helm the next Batman trilogy regardless of whether or not it’s in the DCEU or not.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Fingers crossed that the DCEU is dead!!!

Just do good movies don’t focus on the shared universe

I don’t care if Reeves is gone. I never saw the hype.. he’s decent but not like the perfect Batman director or anything

 

[BH/HHH]

It’s not gonna be dead though cause Wonder Woman II is happening, Aquaman is coming and Shazam is filming.

 

[FCEEVIPER]

Just don't let it be Reeves leaving Bats.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I'm skeptical Campea has anything. No, not even skeptical. I'm convinced it's pure click bait. And I'm saying this as someone who wants DCFU to be cancelled.

 

[Deck Rickard]

No, I suppose we'll just have to fall back on the rage we've already built up due to all the other ***holes who have been running the DCEU into the ground for the past six years.

 

[BH/HHH]

I'm skeptical Campea has anything. No, not even skeptical. I'm convinced it's pure click bait. And I'm saying this as someone who wants DCFU to be cancelled.

He’s the definition of a click baiter. I find him quite embarrassing tbh too.

 

[The Guard]

I feel like if he had a major scoop, he would just drop the major scoop and not risk other sources releasing the news.

[BH/HHH]

God Batman-News is a scummy website isn’t it? Latest headline is “Rumor: Really bad DC Extended Universe news is on the way”. What kind of headline is that? Wait til you have some actual news.

 

[Deck Rickard]

The funny thing about that headline is that it's probably 100% accurate even if Batman News has NO idea what the next big bombshell will be.

 

[BH/HHH]

It’s still not news though until it actually is some news. It’s ridiculous reporting no matter what it ends up been about. It’s like me saying I have a huge scoop on something to the world but I’m not gonna say what it is until I can. It’s just click bait reporting.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Oh I agree, I was just pointing out that saying "REALLY bad DCEU news is coming soon" is the equivalent of saying "It's going to rain somewhere on earth in the next month."

Oh yeah probably
