Previously we talked about how Marvel Studios won’t be worried about the announcement of DC movies. However, with Warner Bros having announced the A-list-heavy cast of Suicide Squad recently, it’s looking increasing likely that DC might be able to pull this off after all. So, let’s take a look at why Marvel SHOULD be worried about DC’s upcoming slate of superhero films.
1. Thanks for the headstart, Marvel
Marvel may have a headstart over their Distinguished Competition, but ironically, they have also made it easier for DC to jump on the bandwagon.
Having painstakingly laid the groundwork for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) over the past six years, building their shared universe, Marvel have proved that such a major undertaking could be done.
Thanks to them, cinemagoers are a lot more accepting of a shared cinematic universe between several films; and DC should be thanking Marvel for doing all the hard work for them and making it possible to build their own DC cinematic universe.
