Because the DCU continues to roll out films and exhibits, quite a few questions stay in regards to the franchise’s future. Presently, by way of upcoming initiatives, the franchise’s first R-rated horror film, Clayface, is getting appreciable consideration, as are the subsequent Superman installment, Man of Tomorrow, which is able to hit theaters subsequent summer time, and the very uncommon The Folks v. Gorilla Grodd TV present, which is at the moment in growth. There has additionally been loads of chatter about what’s to come back down the road, from the DCU’s first Batman film, Batman: The Courageous and The Daring, to an eventual Surprise Girl film—with many believing Man of Tomorrow’s Adria Arjona character will likely be Surprise Girl, though that’s not confirmed but.
Presently, all (or no less than many) DCU followers’ eyes are on Lanterns, the continued TV present that, because the title suggests, is centered on the Inexperienced Lantern(s). Within the present, that features Hal Jordan and John Stewart who, in episode 5, simply battled it out for the Inexperienced Lantern ring, however Superman’s Inexperienced Lantern, Man Gardner, is confirmed to be showing in episode 6 as nicely. To date, the present has been doing fairly nicely, with episode 5 really proving to be essentially the most extremely rated thus far. It’s maybe due to that current success and the present’s seeming ongoing recognition {that a} brand-new rumor about Lanterns has emerged, suggesting an enormous change is coming for the present, however many followers simply aren’t shopping for it.
Is Lanterns Getting a Sequel Film?
Following on the heels of Lanterns’ current episode 5 success, a brand new rumor, as shared by Comedian E book Film, has steered that DC Studios is already contemplating a by-product film, reportedly centered totally on Aaron Pierre’s John Stewart and Nathan Fillion’s Man Gardner however with Kyle Chandler’s Hal Jordan nonetheless taking part in a task. In fact, for now, that’s a rumor solely, and it could possibly be fairly a while earlier than we get affirmation a technique or one other. So far as rumors go, although, this one appears doubtful at greatest—and followers largely appear to agree. In response to at least one X publish in regards to the rumor, one commenter wrote, “Uncertain, they don’t even need to greenlight a collection 2, so this appears far fetched,” in reference to the truth that Lanterns hasn’t even formally been renewed for a second season, though one is anticipated by many within the fanbase.
Different feedback in response to that publish are significantly harsher, with one individual writing, “That studio is simply too reactionary lol – they’ve discovered nothing from their previous errors,” and one other saying, “Nicely it’s DC so we all know it will by no means finish nicely.” The negativity apart, although, there are professional causes to doubt this rumor has any substance, no less than for proper now. For one, it appears very early to begin making any kind of concrete plans for a by-product film, particularly given the truth that the present hasn’t even wrapped up its first season but. For one more, a film sequel to a TV collection is arguably trickier than even the opposite method round (simply take a look at The Mandalorian and Grogu, for instance). It’s not an impossibility that that is on the desk, however it does appear impossible at current.
