With the film Birds of Prey being released in February this year, weeks before the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic broke out in the United States, news about the future of Harlequin in theatres is back.

According to information from the DCEU Mythic website (via Comic Book ), Warner Bros. Pictures is currently in initial talks to decide which next feature film will be released with the character as the protagonist.

The publication points out that there are no indications at the moment as to which title should be in question, but take the opportunity to remember that Gotham City Sirens is one of the possibilities if we take into account that the project almost happened a few years ago.

It is also worth mentioning that a few months ago rumours emerged that the studio would like to release one film a year starring the Harlequin. Birds of Prey hit theatres in February; Suicide Squad will be released in August 2021, so the question now is: will the next feature be released in 2022?

Next film with Harlequin will be the new Suicide Squad.

It was also highlighted in recent weeks that the group’s new formation in the feature might count on the presence of Ratcatcher ( Daniela Melchior ), Tubarão-Rei, Polka-Dot Man and the Peacemaker. The last two, for the most recent news, will be played by David Dastmalchian and John Cena alongside the character of Idris Elba (who will no longer be the gunslinger), Captain Boomerang ( Jai Courtney ), Rick Flagg ( Joel Kinnaman ) and Harlequin ( Margot Robbie )

Actress Viola Davis will also return as the interpreter for Amanda Waller. Peter Capaldi was also confirmed in the cast in an undisclosed role. James Gunn is responsible for the script and direction of the project.

Charles Roven and Peter Safran are producers of the title, while Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder assume positions in their executive production.

After the announcement of the version of the Justice League of Zack Snyder gaining high prominence in the media over the past few days due to its launch in 2021, the film Suicide Squad follows also being much discussed in social networks.

According to recent information from the DCEU Mythic website, recent rumours indicate that Warner Bros. he would be currently in talks to launch director David Ayer’s version of the film starring DC villains and mercenaries at some point in the future on HBO Max.

The publication also points out that the project in question would be cheaper to launch than Zack Snyder’s Justice League since Ayer’s cut was almost ready when they started testing with the public before the official launch of the Suicide Squad.

It is also remembered that the test cut, as already highlighted by the filmmaker, had many more scenes involving the Joker by Jared Leto, too, to complete scenes involving the capture of the protagonist characters. The tone of the film has also been the subject of many comments on the internet, being highlighted that the original was quite different from the one that reached theatres.

Months after the release of John Wick 3: Parabellum, little by little, the future of the franchise is gaining some news. And among them, the most recent involves a change in the release of John Wick 4.

In a recent social media post, Lionsgate revealed that the new feature in the franchise starring Keanu Reeves would no longer be released in 2021. The latest release date for John Wick 4 is now set to May 27, 2022.

Remember that the official postponement of John Wick 4 comes shortly after director Chad Stahelski confirmed that the film would not be ready to be released on May 21, 2021. Two reasons led to such a postponement: the first is the current situation of the coronavirus pandemic, with the second being the fact that Keanu Reeves still needs to finish filming Matrix 4, which is expected to happen only in late 2020.

While the first feature film in the John Wick franchise grossed about $ 14.4 million in its 2014 premiere, the second film doubled sales over the weekend by debuting with $ 30.4 million in 2017. For its part, the most recent film raised US $ 56.8 million in the USA alone, with a worldwide total of around US $ 93 million at the box office.

Halle Berry (X-Men) is one of the protagonists of John Wick 3 alongside Keanu Reeves (Matrix) as the character Sofia.

The cast of the last film also featured Anjelica Huston (The Adams Family), Asia Kate Dillon (Orange Is the New Black), Mark Dacascos (The Pact of Wolves), and Jason Mantzoukas (The Dictator) are also in the cast. Also, Yayan Ruhian (Star Wars: The Force Awakens ), Cecep Arif Rahman (The Raid 2: Berandal) and Tiger Hu Chen (The Tai Chi Man) were also part of the project.

Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne and Lance Reddick reprised their roles in the third feature in the franchise.

With the film John Wick 4 now set to hit theaters only in 2022, little by little, its derivative previously reported with the title of Ballerina continues to gain news. And among them, the most recent comes through one of the leading names in the franchise.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , screenwriter, director, and producer Chad Stahelski spoke about the development of the film derived from the John Wick franchise that will be directed by Len Wiseman :

“Having him on board (Wiseman) to give a different perception to the development of the action, scenarios, involvement of characters, how and what he wants to do during action sequences, brings an air of novelty. So, we’re not just copying ourselves repeatedly with gun-fu or something. And as the character is different, we will have a different view of things”.

In addition to talking about the new perspective for the project, Stahelski also pointed out that his script is currently under development by Wiseman and Shay Hatten. However, he guaranteed that he does not know the right stage of the project:

“So I know that he and Shay are currently developing Ballerina’s script. I don’t know exactly what stage it is at, but I do know that Lionsgate, Thunder Road, and I want to see what happens sooner or later. And from what I heard recently, they have a good angle and are in active development”.

Stahelski also recalled at the time that the idea of the Ballerina derivative was created by Wiseman himself, who in turn suggested the project initially to producer Basil Iwanyk :

“He understands the action, and I think he has a good visual style. Right away, I thought, ‘he understands ( John Wick ). We need to hire this guy!'”.

About the movie Ballerina

Still, with no critical details revealed so far, it is only known that Ballerina’s plot will be focused on a young murderer who is looking for revenge against the people who killed her family.

It was previously revealed that filmmaker Len Wiseman (Underworld, Swamp Thing) was hired by Lionsgate to lead the new John Wick spinoff feature, while Shay Hatten will be responsible for signing the script.

Basil Iwanyk, the producer of the first films, assumes the same position in the derivative alongside Erica Lee, Keanu Reeves, and Chad Stahelski.

In addition to the film in question and the series The Continental, Lionsgate is currently also working on the development of the movie John Wick 4, which in turn will be released in May 2022.

Ballerina does not yet have a set debut date.
