10 Shocking (But Believable) Theories About Upcoming Movies

6. It€™ll End Up Being World€™s Finest, Not An All Out Vs. €“ Batman Superman Movie

What exactly is the Man Of Steel sequel? Like a child coming up with a story with toys on the fly, its very nature seems to change every couple of months. Back in July Zack Snyder was set out to win back the first film€™s detractors by adding Batman into the mix. With a reading from The Dark Knight Returns (the crème de la crème of Bats vs. Supes tales) at Comic-Con the promise seemed to be a cinematic showdown between the two greats. Cool. Then, fuelled by the potential of a post-Breaking Bad Bryan Cranston getting involved, the inevitable casting of Lex Luthor suggested we were steering closer to World€™s Finest territory; a long running comic series that featured Batman and Superman working together. Joaquin Phoenix€™s casting last month seemed to just about confirm it (popular consensus is his unannounced character is Luthor. Also cool, if skirting a little close to the pacing we got in The Avengers. Now things are going crazy; Gal Gadot is playing Wonder Woman (in a lead role) and there€™s rumours floating around Aquaman could be making an appearance. Is this a Justice League movie in disguise? There's so many different possibilities that there€™s no way of knowing what will be in cinemas in 2015. I€™m leaning towards World€™s Finest; it€™s the safest option and allows for the more extreme ideas that came before and after it.
