WB Considering Extra DCEU Film Next Year

Variety's Justin Kroll has reported that Warner Bros is looking to release an additional DC film next year. Currently, they have nothing between this year's Justice League and Aquaman in December 2018. They are currently choosing between Gotham City Sirens, The Flash, Green Lantern Corps, Suicide Squad 2, and Dark Universe. Of those, Sirens is probably the furthest along, with a writer, director, and one cast member. However, if the scripts don't come together soon, they don't want to rush anything into production.

With BATMAN likely shooting in 2018, WB still would like one more DC property to shoot this year other than AQUAMAN

The 5 films being considered are SIRENS, FLASH, LANTERN, SQUAD 2 and DARK UNIVERSE.

That said if scripts aren't ready to go, studio is content just shooting AQUAMAN this year till films are ready to go
