Yesterday, the release of the final trailer for Batman V Superman blew up the internet with tons of positive reactions including from our own Collider Movie Talk crew. Now a report over at our friends at Hitfix claim that the Warner Bros/DC line up maybe in trouble. Roth Cornet, a frequent guest and friend of Collider Movie Talk, chatted with Drew McWeeney about his thoughts about the trailer which led to these comments from McWeeney:

“Warner is a little bit worried. This movie is starting to scare them. And it’s scaring them because they’re showing it to people now. People are actually laying eyes on the film and the response has not been exactly what I think they wanted… I would be surprised if Justice League starts shooting when they say it’s going to. I would be equally surprised if Zach Snyder directed it… My guess is what is going to happen is that Justice League is going to get moved back and that Ben Affleck Batman movie, that’s going be what ends up in that spot.”

The highly anticipated R-rated superhero movie Deadpool starring Ryan Reynolds opened nationwide last night and things are looking very good for the film as it has set a new record for a Thursday night opening of an R-rated film with 12.7 million beating the previous record of 10.4 million set by The Hangover 2.

Transformers 6 will fall on June 8, 2018 against Godzilla 2. And finally Tranformers 7 will debut on June 28, 2019.

Hey Collider crew. I wanted to know who are some of your favorite actors on television and who on TV you would like to see more movie work from? I personally think that Grant Gustin has shown good work on The Flash and same with Stephen Amell. Thanks and bring on the filthy!
