WithZack Snyderstaying busy in the world of DC withBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceand the upcomingJustice League Part One, fans of the300franchise have wondered if there would ever be more movies in the series.In an exclusive interview with our very own Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub on Collider.com, Snyder confirmed that he has had discussions with Warner Bros to keep the300films ongoing, saying they’ve been talking about a lot of different incarnations of300such as Ancient Greece, the Revolutionary War, the Alamo, and a battle in China as possible movies in the300style of storytelling.
Steve Weintraub also spoke withZack Snyder about some of the villains inBatman v Superman, specifically asking if the Joker was close to making an appearance in the movie. Snyder confirmed that not only was the Joker close to being in the movie but that another Batman villain, the Riddler, was also close to making an appearance. Snyder explained that while working on the script with screenwriterChris Terriothey wanted the villains “mythological presence” to be felt but they didn’t want to get too far off the ball because they needed to spend time on the central conflict of Batman and Superman.

Hello Collider Crew I love the positive direction you’re going in, even after John moved on. My question is about how trailers are made. Do the people see all the footage shot and use that? Or do they see the whole move and cut it up based on what they think will play better in 1:30-2:30? Thanks!

Disney movies have been coming and going from the past and present for decades and there sometimes where some people have forgotten or didn’t like the first time around but grown a better appreciated later. My question is what animated or live action Disney movies do you guys feel are under appreciated? Thanks and keep pumping up the volume.
