With all the excitement of Star Wars: The Force Awakens ringing in our ears, it’s easy to forget that we’ve also got our first meeting of World’s Finest next year with the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. And a new report is suggesting that it will be a rather expensive meeting.
According to Latino-Review, the budget of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a whopping $410 million. If this is true, it will be the most expensive movie ever made, beating Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End‘s $341 million by some margin. The site also claims that the estimated budget for Justice League (presumably both parts) will be $500 million.
While it may seem like an incredible amount of money, it could be very possible given that Marvel have reportedly set aside $1 billion to make both parts of Avengers: Infinity War.
