Justice League Part One Shooting Early 2016, Suicide Squad Aims For PG-13 Rating
Producer Charles Roven has revealed that the first part of DC Comics' Justice League with Warner Bros. will begin shooting in either Q1 or Q2 of next year. Meanwhile Wonder Woman starts filming this month and mostly in the UK.
"We’re actually gonna start shooting Wonder Woman towards the end of November," Roven told Collider in an interview. "We are shooting in the UK and in Italy... We’re making most of Wonder Woman in the UK and we’re also making most of Justice League there, JL One… We’re definitely gonna be shooting Part One in the first or second quarter of next year.”
Part One and Part Two of Justice League won't be back-to-back productions as three movies are expected to released between the two. Fans of Suicide Squad are likely disappointed to learn that the film is being targeted for a PG-13 rating, and so will miss out on its more mature themes throughout the comics.
"We really want to make these films tonally consistent so that, as I said because this is a shared universe, at least our current thinking... so you want to leave yourself open to changing your mind, doing something different, being inspired, that's the whole process of filmmaking is you have to allow for inspiration as well as having a road map for what you're gonna do. So our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13."
The Justice League Part One is scheduled for November 2017, Wonder Woman in June 2017 and Suicide Squad next year in August.
