Seems like 2017 and 2018 are jam-packed with actions and adventures, right? Some of the rumored titles that could just be part of that list are Wonder Woman, Justice League Dark, and Aquaman. The Sandman adaptation on the other hand, which failed to surpass the preproduction stage in the late 1990s, might just turn into reality as Joseph Gordon-Levitt initiated to direct and star the film.
What makes this speculation valid is Gaiman's comments on Levitt's dedication to pursue this adaptation:
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt, of all people, is an enormous 'Sandman' fan. He and David Goyer talked about it, they've come up, I believe, with a treatment of what they want the story of the first movie to be.
"They are talking to an incredible writer [Jack Thorne], who I coincidentally already knew, because he did the movie script for 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane,' so I've met him and loved his treatment of my work. And Wednesday afternoon I will be spending with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and talking 'Sandman'! That's pretty much everything I know. Now you know as much as I know." (via Screenrant)
Gaiman also made it clear that The Sandman adaptation is taking so much time because he'd rather not see it on the big screen than see a bad Sandman movie. Will Levitt live up to his expectations?
However, Neil Gaiman reiterated that: "[Sandman's] not a DC Comics film. It's a Vertigo film. That's a different slate of films, and a different announcement."
Adaptations of Metal Men and Fables are also teased by DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson before, but again we need to take everything with just a pinch of salt!
Watch out for more confirmed titles to be included in this list of upcoming Disney/Marvel & Warner Bros/ DC Movies 2015 and beyond!
