Read it's an 8-10 year plan-
Wondering now...
* On one hand, how much (if any) it limits casting for new Superman, Batman, WOnder WOman, etc.-
* On the other hand- everyone on the planet has been aware of the financial rewards playing a superhero long-term has for the MCU--- so, it's a retirement plan that's a lot less risky than others, if given the opportunity.
What'll also be interesting to see, is whether or not WB will be able to leave enough alone for this plan to get through a couple of years- let alone 8-10.
Will see, as always, I guess.
Other random thoughts out there?

Another thought springs up.... mainly from interviews that came from Stephen Amiel and Annette O'Toole-
In regards to actors choosing (and/or getting lucky enough to be chosen in the first place)--
* On one hand, it's a dream job for actors to get work in Hwood, let alone be offered a contract-
* On the other hand (and I only gleaned this from the interviews)- it seems the big money isn't until contracts expire & up for renegotiation. Also- in tv's case for a lead, it was suprising for me to really recognize how little time off there is during a production year- and much of the time is sitting in a trailer waiting for things to be lit or re-fixed.
At the end of the series, Amiel was asked he would say 'yes' again to being a lead, but after recognizing the minuses to loss of time in one's regular life, I think he said he'd have to think about it.
With Annette O'Toole's case, she had a bit part, but contractually was stuck from a lot of events in her kids' lives even when she tried to negotiate for some flexibility-
Given those factors- if it's known how much of life is given away- it makes more sense why CHris Evans was hesitant to sign off on playing Captain America for 12 movies- though it's nice he said that it ultimately was great that he did it.
On the flip side of that-
There's also got to be the awareness that DC is a much shakier boat, given the abrupt superhero ending to Gal Gadot's career it seems. (And who knows about Zach Levi and the rest of the 'old' regime, outside of crossovers to parallel universes?)
But--- 3rd world problems. Problems most people would LOVE to have. But, still.... some distracting food for thought.

Other random thoughts out there? I don’t think it’ll limit things that much. No more than big franchise commitments usually do. I think just because Gunn has a ten year plan doesn’t mean the deals with be the same as those early Marvel studios 6 - 9 picture deals. I could see DC studios offering 3 - 5 picture deals for its big leads. There will always be actors hungry to take these roles especially if they’re younger and lesser known. Look at Cavill and how long he chased the Superman role and how hard he tried to keep it. We’re at a point now where this generation of new young actors has grown up on these movies. It’s not like it was before with actors born before 1980. For people born after say 2000 they don’t really know a world where big superhero films aren’t normal. |

Good points... still getting used to the idea about how much the MCU has REALLY made the superhero film an actual film category- and how that has affected how actors might look at both superhero and franchise committments.... as well as the big payrolls and extra fame afforded actors like Chris Evans, Scarjo, Helmsworth, etc.... Will be interesting to see how things (if civilization or I exist by then) will shake up for supehero movies in the next 20 years... |

They won’t even decline the way westerns did but eventually the output will fall off some. That’s just how things go. |
