Today, news broke that Watchmen & Man of Steel director Zack Snyder will indeed return for the Justice League of America movie! After witch the guys over at Latino-Review dropped the scoop then confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter that both Batman vs Superman and Justice League will shoot back-to-back ! This is news we had heard whispered earlier in the year after the 10 month release date delay given to Batman vs Superman. Batman vs Superman is still scheduled to hit May 6th, 2016 with Justice League finally smashing onto screens May 5th, 2017!
So expect way more casting announcements in the not to distant future for not just Batman vs Superman but Justice League as well! Like who Dwayne Johnson and possibly Jason Momoa are playing. As well as the final answer to the question on The CW's Arrow and The Flash.
Watch out Marvel....
Yes, Zack Snyder will direct Justice League. Yes it will shoot back to back. Likely release date: 2017. Likely announcement: Comic Con.
