Justice League film confirmed and Zack Snyder will direct!

Fans have been screaming it at their computer screens for the last few months but they can now take a breath and let out a laugh. Warner Bros. has officially confirmed that a Justice League movie will follow Zack Snyder's upcoming "Batman vs Superman" which is a sequel to Man of Steel. They also confirmed that Zack Snyder will return to direct Justice League.

"Batman vs Superman" will lead into the Justice League film and will serve to introduce several characters of the iconic team. Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot are expected to reprise their roles as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman respectively. With the recent casting of Ray Fisher as Cyborg it may be safe to assume that that character will come back for Justice League as well. 

"It will be a further expansion of this universe,” Silverman said. “Superman vs. Batman will lead into Justice League."

At the moment there is no concrete release date set but it has been said that it'll be released in 2017 and rumor has it that the date will be May 5, 2017. Are you excited for a Justice League film? Are you excited that Zack Snyder will be directing it? Snyder may have done a good job (to an extent) with Man of Steel but the bulk of his main work (300, Watchmen, Sucker Punch) all look like the same film. Could he take the Justice League and create a box office hit? More importantly, will his "Batman vs Superman" film be a hit or is he trying to shove too many new characters into one film? If "Batman vs Superman" doesn't do well I find it hard to believe that Warner Bros. will keep going with Justice League. It's a lot of pressure. How do you think this will all turn out?
