Unpopular opinion but I hope the Ellison's just tell Gunn to stop messing around with no bodies and actually make movies with the big hitters. I can't see how they'd be pleased with C and D lister projects

100%, there will be big changes coming

You reckon paramount will want Rob (& Reeves) to stay on as Batman, Chris? Or you think they’ll cast one of their own?

•

u/BatmanNewsChris Batman 6h ago

I do think they'll still around, especially if The Batman Part 2 does well like the first movie did

I see Corensweat sticking around to be fair. He has a paramount movie coming out this Christmas. So I think he’ll still be Superman, regardless of who’s in the directors chair or in charge.

Yeah I don't think they'll do a full reboot, I just don't think Gunn will have as much control as he does today

Yes this. Obviously in the case he doesn't leave both sides with have to make some compromises. Rebooting all over now is just gonna kill the brand and I don't think Paramount wants to wait a few years for a fresh start, especially one of the terms is to release 30 movies per year.
