But the 2019 release date forThe Jokerradically transforms the ticket . It mean Warner Bros. has three DC superhero films due out in a 12 - month period;Shazam!in April , The Jokerin October , andWonder Woman : 1984 in November . That ’s the form of slate we ’re now used to with rival Marvel Studios , but it ’s the bighearted there ’s even been from DC Films . AT&T exec John Stankey , placed in guardianship of WarnerMedia after the merger , recently say DC Films was " trending in the correct directionin terms of the quality of the product and how the dealership is being manage . " Three films in one year is a vast statement of confidence in DC Films .
DC Films’s Changing Approach
Early DCEU movies were plagued with behind - the - scene struggle , culminating inZack Snyder ’s loss fromJustice League . More recent films , however , seem to have gone without a hindrance ; yield onAquamanandShazam!seems to have been smooth , andWonder Woman : 1984sees Patty Jenkins reunify with the cast and work party who made the first celluloid a remarkable success . It seems the studio has moved on from their production problem , so much so that they believe they can put out three moving-picture show in one year .
This would be a smart playing period on DC Films ' part . 21st Century Fox has seen their X - Men slate tucket due to a standardised advance , with the studio choosing to branch out by from tentpole superhero films and release a cheaper , more divers slating let in decisive and popular hitting likeLoganandDeadpool .

Is This the New Norm for DC Films?
Last year ensure rival Marvel Studios launch into what seems to be a new form of three films a yr , one that they ’ve recur this year and will continue in 2019 . It ’s potential that DC ’s 2019 slate will set a similar pattern , one where three DC movie drop every year - two tentpole superhero plastic film , and one tacky production that may not even be part of the DCEU . That would explicate the confused account we currently have of DC Films ' approaching ticket , witha large bit of film expect to begin production in 2019 . Such a interfering schedule did n’t really make good sense when the studio apartment was in the habit of only free one or two pic a yr , but three would fit with the production schedule .
If that ’s the guinea pig , thenBirds of Preyis presumptively the gas constant - rated production stand for to drop in 2020 , meaning the studio will soon greenlight two major tentpole picture for a 2020 release . The Flashdirector John Francis Daley has teaseda 2020 discharge datefor his film"if all goes well . " allot toBlack Adamstar Dwayne Johnson , " If things come together in the way we counter them get along together , [ Black Adam ] feels likea 2019 movie , in production . ” If these are the two 2019 tentpoles , it would presumably meanSuicide Squad 2has been pushed back - possibly due to potential scheduling issue , give Margot Robbie will be involved in both that picture andBirds of Prey . It ’s possible further details will be let on at the DC Films panel at SDCC on Saturday .
