Due to the ongoing health crisis, this summer has seen a very noticeable lack of news on the comic book film and television front with the cancellation of many conventions where those announcements are typically revealed. In just a few weeks on August 22, Warner Bros. will make up for that with the 24-hour online event DC FanDome, and to hype it up even more they released a trailer promising exclusive reveals on a number of their upcoming projects. Check it out below…
Among many of the films that will be part of the online con, two of the most anticipated projects that will be viewed are James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and a look at the anticipated Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the director’s infamous cut of the superhero team-up before WB hired Joss Whedon to completely retool the film.
Accessible for 24 hours at DCFanDome.com, the global event will take place on August 22nd, and the press release promises “new announcements from WB Games, Film and TV, and comics, as well as an unprecedented opportunity to hear from the casts and creators behind your favourite feature films and TV series, including: Aquaman , The Batman, Batwoman, Black Adam, Black Lightning, DC Super Hero Girls, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl, Doom Patrol, The Flash, Harley Quinn, the SnyderCut of Justice League, Lucifer, Pennyworth, SHAZAM!, The Suicide Squad, Supergirl, Superman & Lois, Teen Titans GO!, Titans, Watchmen, Young Justice: Outsiders and, coming this fall to theatres worldwide, Wonder Woman 1984.”
