More superhero movies! The world can’t get enough! This week, Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC superhero movie slate got leaked, revealing plans for Wonder Woman, Shazam, Green Lantern and The Flash (together!) and more. Also, Jason Momoa is playing Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Marvel Studios ponders a third stand-alone Hulk movie and Scooby-Doo gets a new live-action reboot immediately following the death of Casey Kasem, his voice in both the cartoons and movies. Classy?
Most Craved hosts Silas Lesnick (Coming Soon), Jenna Busch (GeekNation) and William Bibbiani (CraveOnline) have a lot to kvetch about this week, so we just let them loose in the studio to get started. Is Warner Bros. rushing these superhero movies out too fast? Does Shazam really deserve his own movie? Why does Wonder Woman have to wait until after Justice League to get her own film? Is Planet Hulk really the right direction for a Hulk movie? And will the Scooby-Doo reboot finally return the franchise to its mystery-based roots, and eschew the notion that monsters are real?
Keep coming back every Thursday for a new argument-filled installment of Most Craved, and follow your hosts on Twitter at @SilasLesnick, @JennaBusch and @WilliamBibbiani to continue the debate all week long!
