3. Will It Come Too Long After The First Installment? - Justice League Part Two
When it comes to movies that are split in half (an unnecessary Hollywood embellishment if ever there was one), there's a sense that a gap of a year between each installment is about right: you shouldn't make audiences wait too long for their part two, because there's an unwritten rule about these things. And yet whilst Part One will ship into theatres on November 17, 2017, Part Two won't follow until June 14, 2019 - 1 year and 6 months later. As previously mentioned, Warner Bros. have scheduled three solo superhero movies to take place between the two separate chapters of the Justice League movie, which is an notably odd move in its own right, given that you'd assume it'd be the other way round. To ask audiences to wait for the best part of a year and a half (and 28 days, if you're asking) threatens to reduce the tension and drama that builds in the period between two-part blockbusters. With such a wide gap, you take a risk that the audience will lose interest.
