JUSTICE LEAGUE - PART 1 Begins Filming April 11; Shooting Location Revealed
Zack Snyder’s
Justice League —
Part 1 is officially a go at Warner Bros. and will begin filming on April 11, a little over two weeks after the release of
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the director and studio tell EW.
“The idea that we could begin to boot up a
Justice League concept was a cool thing,” says Snyder, who also directed 2013’s
Man of Steel and has become one of the key figures in shaping DC’s connected film universe.
“It was a little bit of an ‘about time’ moment, and I don’t blame [the studio] for feeling that way, because it’s a long time coming,” he said. “But I do feel like it’s a little bit of a creative hurdle. It seems like an easy thing to do at first glance, the idea that, ‘Oh, we just get the rest of the superheroes in there.’ But you have to [establish] a world where they can exist.”
Justice League, which will be released on Nov. 17, 2017, will shoot at the Warner Bros. Leavesden studios in southeast England, as well as various locations around London and in Iceland. While this film is being designated
Part 1, the follow-up installment, which will shoot separately, is already on the studio’s release schedule for 2019.
While three years passed between the release
Man of Steel and
Batman v. Superman, that was mainly because the various creative teams were mapping out so many interlocked stories. “The studio really wants us to try and pace it up, as far as —now we have an idea where we’re going,” Snyder says.
