But the seventh member of the team has remained a big fat question mark.

Judging from his post, Breznican seemed to be balancing between loving Batman V Superman and hating it. He doesn’t look to be excited that he just watched an incredible fight between Batman and Superman, so we’re expecting that it might not have the positive impact that fans have already expected for the movie.
And it may that stay for a while. “I don’t know that that’s going to materially change”, producer Charles Roven told EW.
“We had such a straightforward narrative, on one hand”, Snyder says, “I wanted this other layer of the movie to be complicated and weird”.
Justice League: Part One releases on November 17, 2017, while Part Two hits on June 14th, 2019. But details on that film are still murky. One major character who has yet to have been cast is Green Lantern, which means that we may not be seeing the character quite as soon as we hoped.
Especially as they will get to see Hunger Games star Jena Malone’s charater, who has been cut from the cinema release.
With Warner Bros. and DC desperately trying to catch up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they’ll need help from each of their superheroes to cameo in each others’ films, not unlike the Marvel model. There’s a risk in rebooting too quickly; The Amazing Spider-Man came just five years after Spider-Man 3 and struggled to set itself apart from the earlier iteration of the franchise. If my prediction is at all correct (and there’s no reason to think it will be), then the film could also end up as one of only two titles to finish with a gross between $500 million and $599 million.
“[Green Lantern] is an incredible character”. “There’s real opportunity there”. This film is set to introduce the first movie versions of several famous DC villains including Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Katana, and Killer Croc, as well as introduce a new version of The Joker portrayed by Jared Leto. They also recently released the first concept art of Justice League which showed off Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg.

“I think we should keep it private, but it’s nothing that’s been talked about”, Snyder says.
