In all this Whedon/Fisher controversy, I forgot Amber Heard was in Justice League. Well that clinches it, not going to watch the Snyder cut after all.
Screw you Warner brothers.

Actually, I guess Depp lost the libel suit and evidence suggested he was the abuser, not Heard. Though I guess he's still planning to fight it?

That's the problem, the most damning evidence points the other way. Yet she gets to keep Mera.

The new evidence from the ruling actually points to Depp being the abuser.

[Frontier]

My understanding is the allegations of Heard's abuse is a separate issue, just that there was factual evidence that Depp had been physical with her.

She does have a record for having assaulted a previous partner.

And if true then sure get him off Harry Potter, keeping Heard even with stuff like those recordings out there, is just hypocrisy.

But his texts with Paul Bettany....yikes!

‘Wonder Woman 1984’: Warner Bros. Mulls January HBO Max Release or Delay to Summer 2021

Six weeks before “Wonder Woman 1984” is scheduled to open in theaters on Christmas, Warner Bros. execs are considering whether to push the highly anticipated superhero sequel to the summer of 2021, or keep the movie on its Dec. 25 theatrical debut and then put it on the HBO Max streaming service in early January, according to sources with knowledge of the plans.

The fate of the highly anticipated superhero film has been in limbo since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit in March, pushing the film’s theatrical release from June 5 to Aug. 14, then to Oct. 2, and finally to Dec. 25. But with COVID-19 cases spiking at alarming rates across the country, Warner Bros. is facing the the specter of another widespread shutdown, especially in major urban areas that drive the vast majority of the theatrical business. A cursory theatrical release could still support exhibitors on the knife’s edge of collapse, while also boosting subscriber growth for HBO Max, which has struggled to build an audience large enough to compete against Netflix, Amazon, and Disney Plus.

In its third quarter, WarnerMedia reported that HBO Max had 8.6 million total activations, with 38 millions subscribers to HBO and HBO Max combined. While that exceeded expectations for the year, HBO Max still trails its competitors by considerable margins. Placing a triple-A blockbuster like “Wonder Woman 1984” would be the biggest draw yet for the service, which hasn’t had a hit on par with “Hamilton” for Disney Plus or “The Old Guard” for Netflix. Considering that Disney’s stock price went up on Thursday after announcing 73 million Disney Plus subscribers through Q4 — despite also reporting a $710 million loss — it seems prudent for WarnerMedia to be laser-focused on driving growth for HBO Max.

“Wonder Woman 1984,” however, was supposed to be a billion-dollar grossing global sensation; any theatrical release next month would pale in comparison, a lesson the studio already learned the hard way with “Tenet.” With news that a COVID vaccine could be ready to disseminate through the first half of 2021, Warner Bros. brass are still considering pushing “Wonder Woman 1984” back into a summer release date, possibly in June (bumping a New Line Cinema horror title) or July (bumping the new “Space Jam” movie with LeBron James).

Pushing the theatrical release yet again was always a possibility for “WW84.” In a September interview with Variety about “WW84” costar Pedro Pascal, co-writer-director Patty Jenkins made clear that COVID was ultimately driving her movie’s fate.

“I don’t think anybody can be confident of anything right now,” Jenkins said. “We just don’t know what the course of COVID is going to be like.”

One thing that is pretty clear is that “WW84” will not skip theaters entirely. Jenkins has made no secret that she designed her movie for a big screen and feels strongly that it deserves to be seen there. And while a Warner Bros. representative declined to comment on “speculation” regarding the future of “WW84,” they did have one clear statement: “‘WW84’ will be in theaters.”

Bloomberg first reported the possibility of an HBO Max release for “WW84.”

Summer 2021 seems so long from now. I say keep the date and release it on HBO max in January. (Going by gut rather than any kind of knowledge/expertise)

What new evidence? We actually have Heard on tape admitting to lying and initiating things.

Keanu Reeves' Constantine Co-Star Says Sequel Is in the Works:

Peter Stormare, who plays Lucifer in Constantine, took to Instagram to share an online story praising his performance. The image reads, "In Constantine, Peter Stormare plays one of the best versions of Satan in film history." That in and of itself is hardly a story, but the caption of Stormare's post is what everyone is paying attention to. The actor writes, "Sequel In The Works."

Its a given the movie will lose a lot of money for WB if those are the only options
I doubt hollywood gets a v shaped recovery either

Ehh..it doesn't really seem that long to me. We more than likely are going into another lockdown come winter, and Wonder Woman 1984 could be a great treat come summer. I'd rather just wait until summer. If things still haven't panned out by next year, then I think WB should consider more options.
