Of all the upcoming DC Movies – Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Justice League, Flash, Batman, Suicide Squad 2, Gotham Sirens, Nightwing, Batgirl and more – one of the ones we are most excited for is Justice League Dark.
Or Dark Universe as it may end up being called.
We know the movie was once set to be a Guillermo Del Toro project (it’s now not) and that Colin Farrell is oft-rumoured to be playing John Constantine (here), but aside from that, little is known except that it will probably feature John Constantine, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.
And THAT is why we’re excited for it. Those characters in a DC movie just feels so… right!
Anyway, we know the movie will be directed by Doug Liman who stepped down from the Gambit movie at Fox to make room to let the DC universe into his world.
And now he’s been talking about how the movie will me a smaller, more character-driven project than people would expect: “I think people will be surprised how character driven and how intimate Justice League Dark is — in kind of a field of bloated comic book movies. We’ve found a way to do something that’s actually really personal and small, and that’s my goal.
“The Wall (his latest movie which he’s currently promoting) is about character. The scenario allows me to dive into what I think is… I just love people! I love putting people in crazy situations. For John Constantine, we have an amazing set-up for him for Justice League Dark that’s really human.”
The DC Cinematic Universe has already touched on the supernatural with Suicide Squad and Enchantress in particular, so it’s wide open for Constantine and the JLD to step into the arena and if Liman already knows how Constantine comes into the story then we can only assume there’s a story ready to go.
Man, it’s such an exciting time!
What do you all think?

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
