Justice League Movie Depends On Man Of Steel

The future of the plannedJustice League movie adaptation depends upon the success of Superman reboot Man Of Steel, it is reported.

Variety reports that Warner Bros execs are waiting to see how Zack Snyder's movie performs at the box office in June before they give the green light for the DC Comics ensemble movie.

Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall is already attached to write Justice League, but the showbiz trade paper now claims that the hunt for a director is on the backburner.

Bosses at the studio are apparently wary following the poor performance of 2011's Green Lantern.

We reported recently that Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash and Green Lantern are the core characters lined-up for the movie - which is earmarked for release in 2015 if it goes ahead.
