WB is one of the big marquee studios in Hollywood and people look forward to the movies they bring out every year. They not only invest in the big budget features, but they also put out many small budget movies that turn out to be really amazing.
In 2017, WB’s big-budget success was Wonder Woman, and the most surprising success with a very small budget was IT. This year is also a big year for WB, but next year is going to be even bigger. Here is a list of Warner Bros movies coming out next year.

Lego movies will never go out of fashion as they sell huge merchandise and are adored by kids and teens who love cartoons and superheroes. After the first Lego movie surprised us all being so amazing, we got a Lego Batman spinoff out of it, and that was also great along with The Lego Ninjago Movie.
Now we will finally get to see a sequel to The Lego Movie that will continue the story of Emmet, as he goes on to new adventures along with his friends. The first one was huge at the box office and now the same is expected from the sequel. The movie will open on February 8, 2019.

Shazam!
This is going to be DC’s first Superhero movie to come out on April 5, 2019, as it will bring Billy Batson on the big screen, and we will see him take the form of the titular hero Shazam from the comics. Zachary Levi is portraying the role of Shazam and Doctor Sivana is going to be the main villain in the movie.
In comics, Billy Batson is a young teenager who has the ability to transform into an adult Superhero with insane lightning and mystical powers. Well, in order to summon his powers he has to utter the word ‘Shazam!’ Shazam is actually a combination of words that represents 6 powerful mythical figures who transfer their powers to Billy Batson. They are Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.
According to latest reports, the popular actor Mark Strong has been considered by the studio to play the big baddie in Shazam i.e Dr. Sivana who is one of the most dangerous villains in Shazam comics. Mark Strong is not a stranger to superhero movies as he has forayed into them in the past. Well, he was Sinestro in 2011’s Green Lantern which despite all efforts of Ryan Reynolds bombed at the box-office. But Mark Strong really put up a very strong performance and critics appreciated his efforts.
Dr. Sivana first appeared in 1940’s Whiz Comics #2. He was born in Europe in 1800’s and then turned into one of the world’s most brilliant minds. He had a hunger for invention and discovery which attracted a lot of ridicule from all sides. He left Earth and got resettled in Venus but there also he cultivated hatred for humanity. He decided to avenge his personal humiliation from the people of Earth and held it to ransom by holding back all of the world’s communications, but Shazam finally saved the day.

Wonder Woman 2
Patty Jenkins will be coming back to direct the sequel to a massive blockbuster film Wonder Woman that broke the losing streak of DCEU. Gal Gadot will be reprising her role and the speculation is that we may also see Chris Pine’s character Captain Steve Trevor who sacrificed himself to save lives. Here’s what Patty Jenkins had to say about the sequel:
“It’s really still going to portray values of hers, and a similar formula in so far as making a great, enjoyable fun movie but that ultimately in its third act turns some very big issues, and a very big experience that will aim to have slightly more weight and profundity than it has to have. Because that’s a formula that I really like, and I like the idea of taking somebody on a very solid, great journey but that arrives at a bigger question being answered. So it’s like that but because she is Wonder Woman and she’s here now and she’s fully developed, it’s got great fun from the start and great big superhero presence from the start, and is funny and a great love story again and a couple new unbelievable characters who I’m so excited about, who are very different than were in the last movie.”
The movie will continue the story of the titular hero as it will bring back Diana into action as Wonder Woman. The story of the movie will be followed during the Cold War in the 1980s, and Cheetah is said to be the main villain of the movie. The popular actress Lynda Carter is expected to make an appearance in the sequel which was supposed to happen in the first film but due to scheduling issues, it did not happen. It will hit the theatres on November 1, 2019.

It will open in theaters on November 15, 2019.
