The rest of the DC slate is in flux, but there are several possible scenarios to consider ahead of next week’s WB meeting. The first is the closing curtain of the Snyderverse, and the heroes cast by filmmaker Zack Snyder for his #JusticeLeaguethr.cm/4GJ1UJe
This scenario sees the shutting down of #ManofSteel2, with a returning Henry Cavill, and having no more Aquaman, fronted by Jason Momoa, following the release of 'Lost Kingdom' thr.cm/4GJ1UJe
#Superman and #Aquaman are to cameo in #TheFlash. Henry Cavill shot his part of the cameo in Sept. But sources say there is a debate as to whether or not its inclusion promises something that the studio would have no plans on delivering thr.cm/4GJ1UJe
