Never fear, there will be no shortage of superhero movies over the next few years. Unlike in prior years, DC appears to have found its footing with 2017's Wonder Woman and this year's Joker movies. I think it is a solid line up, but, from a toy tie-in point of view, I am always concerned when I see a number 2, 3, or 4 after a movie. It means that some parent somewhere is going to be saying to their child: "You already have a Shazam or Aquaman action figure from the first movie, why do you need a second one?" Of course, for a child, a toy is never about need; it is about want. The discussion then ensues, and for the sake of the toy industry, let's hope the child wins.
Here is a list of the movies DC will be releasing:
- June 2020 Wonder Woman 1984
- August 2021 The Suicide Squad
- June 2021 The Batman
- April 2022 Shazam 2
- December 2022 Aquaman 2
- May 2022 DC Super Pets
- July 2022 The Flash
- TBD The New Gods
- TBD Supergirl
