Harry Potter New Movie: Warner Bros Will Release 3 Harry Potter Spinoffs, 10 DC Movies, And 3 Lego Movies In 2016 To 2020
Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tuijihara announced the studio's plans for its DC Entertainment properties on Wednesday, naming ten DC movies between 2016 and 2020, in addition to three Harry Potter spin-offs and three Lego movies.
In August, Warners announced dates for nine untitled DC releases for those years at the same time as it moved Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice from May 2016 to March that year in order to avoid a showdown with Marvel's Captain America 3.
In a press release following Tuijhara's announcement, Warners noted that the DC slate consisted of "at least" these 10 movies, "as well as standalone Batman and Superman films."
It's worth noting that each of the solo movies feature characters who are currently members of the comic book incarnation of the Justice League, although whether or not the same will be true in their movie incarnations remains unknown.
Outside of the DC properties, the studio will also further explore J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter mythology with three movies to be released in 2016, 2018 and 2020 based on herFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them novella.
The first movie, which features Rowling's screenwriting debut, will be directed by Potter veteran David Yates.
Warners' Lego plans include three releases over the next four years, starting with the Charlie Bean-directed Ninjago in 2016, followed by The Lego Batman Movie in 2017 and The Lego Movie 2 in 2018.
