You just know Disney will put something out for FF4 to try and drown out a Superman teaser.

I just hope it's a proper teaser with actual footage, not just a reveal of the suit ala The Batman.

Disagree. It’s Marvel’s best interest for Superman to do well. Marvel wants to beat DC but want the movie to be successful. They want it like Doctor Strange vs The Batman at the box office. Both successful but Marvel made the most money.

Personally, I'm still inclined to believe that Fantastic Four gets pushed back to the November 2025 date currently held by Blade. They didn't start filming until July and there's no way that Blade makes its current date.

Yeah, I can’t see the most important movie in the next phase being rushed to theaters but you never know. I don’t think Jurassic World 4 is staying at their spot. Superman cuts it off in their second week.

Jurassic World is a stronger cinematic franchise than both Superman and F4.

"Jurassic World" did 1.670M back in 2015, "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" 1.310M in 2018 and "Jurassic World: Dominion" 1.001M in 2022.

The first "Jurassic World" is still in the top 10 of the highest grossing movies of all time.

"Jurassic World: Dominion" is part of the small circle of only 8 films that have exceeded one billion in the post-Covid era.

Superman and F4 must fear confrontation with dinosaurs more than the other way around.

So you think Superman will move?

That doesn't mean it won't move...the continued diminishing returns means they are going to want it in the best spot possible to avoid it falling further plus the last 3 released in June. Not saying they will do this but June is pretty light on blockbusters (right now only Ballerina qualifies really and I honestly am not sure it qualifies) so they could move it up a couple of weeks and be free and clear.

But if and when FF moves I expect Superman to move to the end of the month because it will have no real big competition for a while outside of kids films. I figured FF will move first so it just flows easier. Th question is whether they keep up the charade that Blade is going to be made.

Sounds like Fantastic 4, Superman and Jurassic World are playing chicken with one and other. If they space themselves between June and the end of July all three should do well. I don’t understand the games the studios are playing. Superman claimed July first.

 

[dhandler01]

It's not really a claim...Superman doesn't own the date or the time period this stuff is all fluid. And it's standard stuff in Hollywood to pick a day and move as things develop.

 

[flickchick85]

Every date is fair game and I’m pretty confident Jurassic World will make its date. They wouldn’t have booked July 4th weekend - one of the biggest weekends in movies - if they couldn’t make it, and it’s already done filming, so it’s pretty much set in stone. That’s why they hired Gareth Edwards -making movies fast and keeping the budget down while making it look good is his main specialty.

 

[dhandler01]

I mean it's rumored to cost $265 million so not sure "keep the budget down " applies here

That was the cost of the last one so considering the much tighter schedule, it actually does.

 

[DCDAVE]

So if Fantastic 4 moves then Superman will take the end of July date?

 

[flickchick85]

Maybe, but I have doubts of that happening too at this point, even though F4 moving does still seem like a possibility. I think Supes and the other movies will likely stay where they are tbh.

 

[dhandler01]

It seems pretty obvious FF moves cause no way Blade stays in it's spot and Di$ney will want something there.

 

[DCDAVE]

Pierre at one time supposedly had a meaty role in the blade reboot. I think Marvel really wants the Blade movie to happen so they are giving it one last ditch effort.

 

[dhandler01]

Maybe but not for quite some time.

 

[Lily Adler]

At least we have Green Lantern news to distract us from the Superman drought.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

We have got to be getting our first teaser in a couple of months, right?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Now that most of the creatives and talent involved for that project have been confirmed, won't news on that front start to die down a little now?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Maybe Gunn will mention something interesting during the Creature Commandos panel at NYCC.

 

[flickchick85]

Now that most of the creatives and talent involved for that project have been confirmed, won't news on that front start to die down a little now?

There’s gonna be more than 2 people in the show, so I’d imagine there’s still gonna be some casting to hear about. And then…December!

Would be cool to get something at NYCC. Maybe a poster? New pic? Wouldn’t rule it out!

That's true. For some reason, I figured that most of the remaining cast would be filled with original characters, as opposed to characters taken from the comics. Who are you expecting to see next?
