IDK. I didn't eem know there was a rumor of a Solo trailer to begin with.
Either way. I would of liked that Aquaman trailer. Even if it's a tiny teaser. But I know these studios don't want to release something to get lost behind something as big as Star Wars.

Warner Bros. Taps Walter Hamada to Oversee DC Films Production
As part of a shakeup of its DC film operations, Warner Bros. is promoting Walter Hamadato oversee its comic book movies, Variety has learned. He will serve as president of DC-based film production. In December, the studio decided to replace Jon Berg and Geoff Johns as the heads of the DC movies. Berg became a production partner with Roy Lee, the producer of “The Lego Movie” and “It,” who has a deal on the lot.
Johns remains at DC as a president and chief creative officer, but his portfolio doesn’t just involve film. He will continue to provide creative guidance into the company’s television and comic book efforts. An official announcement of Hamada’s hire, Warner Bros. said Johns will “work closely” with the new production president.
The move comes as DC is looking for more quality control of its big-screen efforts — the studio captured acclaim and box office bonanza with last summer’s “Wonder Woman,” but was savaged by critics for “Suicide Squad” and “Justice League.” There is widespread frustration over DC’s failure to match the popularity of Marvel movies.
Hamada previously served for a decade as a production executive at New Line, a division of Warner Bros. There, he helped shepherd such horror hits as “It,” “The Gallows,” and “The Conjuring” to cinemas. The executive enjoys a close relationship with director James Wan, who is directing “Aquaman” for DC, and is credited with helping expand “The Conjuring” universe by making a well-received sequel to the movie, as well as spinoffs with the “Annabelle” series. He will be leaving New Line to work for Warners, and will also oversee any other types of comic book movies that the studio produces outside of the DC canon.
Toby Emmerich, who was promoted in 2016 to president and chief content officer at Warner Bros., worked with Hamada at New Line, which he ran before moving over to the main studio.
“Walter is creative, resourceful, and committed to excellence, and will bring those qualities to his oversight of our superhero films,” said Emmerich in a statement.
Emmerich went on to add, “I’m confident Walter and Geoff, working with our filmmaking partners, will deliver films that will resonate with both broad global audiences as well as DC fanboys and fangirls.”
Last summer, Warner Bros. named Courtenay Valenti, best known for her work on the Harry Potter films, as president of production at Warner Bros. She will continue in that role, as will DC Entertainment chief Diane Nelson.
Before coming to New Line in 2007, Hamada spent four years as a partner in the management and production firm H2F Entertainment. He began his career as an assistant at TriStar and eventually became VP of production for Columbia Pictures. He also ran development for MBST Entertainment.

All of that means nothing unless DC gets a legit PR man. They need someone to squelch all the rumors before they get out of hand like they did with JL.

I don't read that as bad news. I read that as good news.
Geoff Johns having to produce comics, shows and movies seems exhausting.

Its amazing news.
The most successful shared universe outside of the MCU? The Conjuring Universe
He's already cool with James Wan, has a past with him, so Wan will not be meddled with
Ditto for the Shazaam film.
He's fresh off of IT which was amazing.
His previous works are all low budget movies , but still good. This is exactly what DC needs moving forward.
I like the news, hope it pans out.

I mean guess you have to look at nothing but the positives with Hamada as the new guy.But it shoukdnt be glossed over how quickly Johns and Berg lost main authority. I'm trying to think of what movie did they even oversee to not get a few more years to right the ship.

This new guy might be from a successful franchise, but if the head guys above him put mandates and stifle the directors control or visions, then...
The DCEU will never be as popular or "match" the MCU, but they still made 4 billion off the first 5 movies. They just need to find the right creators and let them create. Fingers crossed for this post Justice League era.

At this point they'll probably release it in the blu-ray or perhaps a collection right?
Unless they want to send the message they're done with Snyder.
It really does seem there's enough ppl out there with poor taste that really like Snyder's work and not just the visuals but actually think he's a good storyteller.
With all that said unless its some lesser known comic franchise or creator owned I can't see Snyder getting another chance to direct a superhero movie.
Now he may get another franchise not necessarily comics but like Transformers or Power Rangers) down the line.

We'd get the super dark and gritty Power Rangers with a depressing message fans didn't know they wanted.

I saw it. That was cool.
But I'm talking about a Tommy neck snapping Jason Power Rangers. I'm talking about an Alfalfa that kills while yelling Iyiyi! And so on.
