Warner Bros. in Slate 2023, surrounded by controversial stars. And DC sticks to the 2022 title with muted comics
Warner Bros. for most of 2010. Cast big shadows at San Diego Comic-Con. Between its substantial presence on the showroom floor and its full-length presentation in Hall H, which can last well over two hours, this studio is second to none in its capabilities. Take advantage of the largest fan convention in North America.
This year, the studio took a very different approach. I really miss the show floor, including participation in DC Comics. Meanwhile, in Hall H, we're using a one-hour panel to introduce the two 2022 releases, "Black Adam" and "Shazam! The Wrath of the Gods." These are the studio's biggest 2023 DC films, "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" and "Flash," completely MIA. For updates on other DC titles such as "Bat Girl" (scheduled to debut this year) and "Blue Beetle" (Latin's first superhero film), as well as Gal Gadot's future "Wonder Woman" and "Flash". Not mentioned. Batman" by Robert Pattinson. (On the other hand, internet rumors about the appearance of "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill have also proved unfounded.)
Instead, "Shazam! Co-stars Lucy Liu, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, and two-inch star Zachary Levi joke with director David F. Sandberg. Power!"
Dwayne Johnson, dressed in a Black Adam costume, appears on stage surrounded by smoke, grabs the audience and activates the blue light from the ropes handed out to the audience in Hall H...
The crowd licked him, but there was a clear feeling they wanted more: viewers asked Levis if Shazam would fight Superman (Levis played Dam and then the audience), and Johnson was asked how Black Adam would play. Against the man of steel. (Johnson's brow reaction: "Maybe it all depends on who plays Superman.")
When it comes to "Aquaman 2" and "Flash," studio insiders say the film is too far off schedule to warrant a big splash at comic book conventions. But over the last few years, Warner Bros. Hall H was used as a launch pad for non-calendar films. The studio's 2014 panel includes the first look at 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. Zack Snyder first launched 2016's "Batman vs Superman" at Comic Con in 2013. The film panel was held in 2015.
Both “Aquaman 2” and “The Flash” closed filming a few months ago and burned to create topics for their directors, James Wan and Andrés Muschietti, to fit the comic character's height. hot tape-faithful fool. ..
However, "Aquaman 2" stars Amber Heard, who has just spent months in the thick of battle with her ex-husband Johnny Depp in the worst trial in Hollywood history. The jury found in June that they had defamed both parties, but Depp was constantly mocked by Depp's fans on social media and inflicted millions more damage on faulty hardware. (He filed a notice of appeal on July 21.)
And "flash" star Ezra Miller strangled a woman in Iceland and harassed another at his Berlin home, and was arrested twice in Hawaii for disorderly behavior and harassment once in March this year. I have been accused of harassment. A month later, for Tier 2 attacks. (Miller has never commented on allegations of illegal activity against them. A close source said in June that the actors hoped to address the allegations at some point in the future, personal health and recovery. He said he was focused. )
Difficult situations and mirror situations are very different. However, in both cases, Warner Bros. Even in the #MeToo era, we face an unprecedented and impossible dilemma. How to promote a runaway superhero franchise when a star gets caught up in a toxic scandal and dominates all other conversations.
In the case of "Aquaman 2," Walter Hamada, who runs the studio's DC unit, thinks the studio really did reinvent the hardware in the role of Mela's co-star, Jason Momoa, in video testimony at Harddep's trial. I testify that I did. "I don't have much chemistry." Together. "
"Editorial, they were able to make that relationship work in the movie
