With Warner Bros.‘Justice Leaguehitting theaters this weekend, the studio is holding its world premiere screening in Los Angeles tonight, but even if you’re able to’t be there in person, Warner Bros. has you covered. The studio will be hosting a live-streaming event directly from the red carpet on all of the studio’s social media channels, starting at 8:30 PM ET/5:30 PM PT. All of the main stars will be in attendance, including Ben Affleck (Batman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Henry Cavill (Superman), just to name a few. Fans can watch all of the big arrivals and interviews with the stars on the following video below.
While we’re just a few days away from the release ofJustice Leaguein theaters, the full reviews are still under embargo, although many of theJustice League early reactionsfrom critics who have seen early screenings, are quite mixed. Still, it doesn’t appear to be as big a critical failure as the first two DCEU movies,Batman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad, but it also doesn’t seem to be quite as big a hit with critics as this summer’s superhero blockbusterWonder Woman. It isn’t clear quite yet when the full reviews will be posted, but it will be interesting to see the reactions.
Last month, we also reported that box office analysts were predicting aJustice League opening weekendof anywhere between $110 million and $120 million, which falls short of bothBatman v SupermanandSuicide Squad, but comes in just ahead ofWonder Woman. Still, regardless of what its opening weekend may be, the real key to success will be how much it drops off in the second weekend and beyond.Wonder Womanposted a better domestic gross than bothBatman v SupermanandSuicide Squad, despite its opening weekend falling far below both those movies’ opening weekends, showing much greater longevity in theaters than its DCEU predecessors. IfJustice Leagueis to have any success, it would do well to emulate the path ofWonder Woman, and not its predecessors.
The supporting cast includes other previously-establishedDCEU charactersAmy Adams' Lois Lane, Diane Lane as Martha Kent and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta, Robin Wright as Antiope and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth. This movie also introduces a bevy of new characters like Amber Heard as Mera, Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Billy Crudup as Henry Allen, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, and Ciaran Hinds as the villainous Steppenwolf. There have been rumors that this movie may also introduce Green Lantern, who hasn’t officially been cast at this time, but we won’t find out for sure until the movie hits theaters in just a few short days.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act,Bruce Wayneenlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to form the Justice League and face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes-Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash-it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
