Justice League Return Reportedly a Priority for DC’s Incoming Leadership

DC’s biggest team could become a major focus of its next chapter. According to TheWrap, David Ellison wants incoming DC Studios chief Jeremy Latcham to bring the Justice League back to the big screen as soon as possible.

That is a report about the studio’s expected priorities, not an official announcement of a new Justice League movie. There is no director, cast or release date named for a new team-up in the report.

The biggest heroes move into focus

TheWrap reports that films centred on Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and The Flash are also expected to be priorities. Taken together, those names suggest a focus on recognisable DC heroes who could form the foundation of another ensemble film.

Latcham is due to take over as president and chief creative officer on 1 December. Until the studio presents its plans, questions about casting, continuity and how quickly a team-up might happen remain unanswered.

A priority is not a green light

For fans, the exciting part is the possibility of seeing the team together again. The unanswered part is how DC gets there: building individual heroes first, moving straight towards an ensemble, or finding a balance between the two.

Those are creative possibilities, not confirmed details. The key takeaway is that a Justice League return is reportedly high on the agenda; a new movie has not yet been announced through this reporting.
