@11:30 in Hall H Warner Brothers Pictures
A two hour presentation on what is coming from Warner Bros.
Kong: Skull Island, Fantastic Beasts and where to find them, and maybe Justice League ( Probably not ) but most assuredly Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad description
The film takes place in Midway City, another of DC Comics’ popular fictional towns, akin to the more well-known (thanks to recent TV and Films) Central City, Star City, Gotham City, and Metropolis. There’s a “powerful mystical enemy” that seems from the description to have some sort of tie to Cara Delevingne’s Enchantress – and of course, also to those mysterious goo-covered soldiers called the Eyes of the Adversary. In a post-Man of Steel and BvS world, such a threat isn’t being treated lightly; with no Superman to even attempt to stop it, Amanda Waller and the government decide to do something themselves, recruiting vile criminals: Deadshot, Harley, Diablo, Boomerang, Slipknot, and Killer Croc, to try to resolve the problem.
The Joker, who previously we’ve only known for sure would be part of Harley Quinn’s backstory, will also be present when the team is assembled, with a “laser-like plan to reunite with his true love.
Batman’s role in suicide squad is an interesting one.
BTW pre sale tickets are on sale now for Suicide squad
