It's BIG NEWS for the world of DC Films in both good and bad ways, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that both Matt Reeves' "The Batman" and the James Gunn directed "The Suicide Squad" are dated for 2021 by Warner Bros!
The latter film in particular will be directed by the former Guardians of the Galaxy director - who was controversially fired last year from directing "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and has now moved over to the "Distinguished Competition" - namely DC Films and is writing the screenplay AND directing what is being called "The Suicide Squad" - a relaunch instead of a direct sequel to the 2016 villain's film. Meanwhile, Margot Robbie will be immediately reprising her famous role as Harley Quinn in 2020 in the spin-off "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)".
Following months of speculation and rumors, it looks like Ben Affleck is out as Batman officially - as Matt Reeves "The Batman" is pushing forward on its summer 2021 release date and fixing on a new Caped Crusader to take on the helm. Affleck tweeted on his official Twitter page: "Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life.".
The Batman hits on June 25, 2021, while The Suicide Squad arrives on August 6, 2021.
