It's crazy to think they went into this assuming there'd be a part 2 even before BVS was even out.

I'm on board for all of these - eventually. I do think though that the likes of Green Arrow & Black Canary could utilize an origin film first though, maybe in combination with another character, or at the very least be introduced in a film that focuses on another character.Shazam (Zachary Levi)
John Stewart (Green Lantern)
Oliver Queen (Green Arrow)
Dinah Lance (Black Canary)
Martian Manhunter
Heh, I'd vote against Whedon; AoU wasn't that great, Whedon also wanted to rush a Batgirl solo, and he (through no fault of his own I'm sure) was partly responsible for the mess that was Justice League.Now as for who should direct? Normally I would say Whedon but who is there that can direct?
As far as the DCEU goes, if they were to recast Batman (again) they'd need to offer up an explanation short of just putting someone else in Affleck's costume; Flashpoint could do that, but it would still feel cheap. It's a shame there's nobody else from a comic perspective that could take over the mantle, cause we kind of do need Bruce Wayne (as the Batman) for the Justice League to stand out.As for when the sequel should be? 2021 or 2022 at the latest but as for who should play Bruce Wayne/Batman I would go with a younger actor someone in their 30s at least who can carry on the role of Batman into the next decade
Despite failings, there will undoubtedly be a Justice League sequel, you can count on it - it'll just be a case of which characters will feature, when it'll be, who'll be directing, and who'll be playing Batman by the time the project starts.
Because the DCEU is still ongoing; Aquaman is due at the end of the year, Shazam & WW2 are due next year (?), a Flash & Lantern Corps film is due post 2021. Another team up film consisting of the core DC heroes is inevitable.Why would there be a Justice League 2 now?

I would go for Kevin Smith he is a total fanboy when it comes to superheroes and with him directing I feel like he would do the DCEU justice that's for sure
Aquaman was made before Justice league was released. Shazam is not guaranteed to be in the DCEU. WW2 will probably have no reference to the DCEU, after the first film barely mentioned it. Neither Flash movie nor Lantern Corps are confirmed. There's a non DCEU Joker movie being made. New Gods isn't looking like it's part of the DCEU. No Batman for at least two years. No sign of a Man Of Steel 2.
People who think there will be a continuing DCEU, and a Justice League 2 in that same universe are deluding themselves.

I think the truth is somewhere between "inevitable" and "deluding themselves"
If there are 3-4 successful Justice League-y franchises, a team up will be called for and delivered. JL2 is not a door anyone has any incentive to close, even if they've finally gotten smart enough not to announce it before any demand for it exists. New leadership finally doing the smart thing isn't quite a delusion, it's a legitimate possibility, as is having a successful Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Green Lantern/Flash/Batman/Superman/New Gods franchise that people would get a kick out of seeing together again. Not inevitable by any means, and certainly not a four year plan like with the MCU, but a six year plan? Eight year? Not unthinkable at all.
I agree another Justice League film is entirely possible in the time frame you outline, but it will not star the people in the last one, and will not be set in a narrative that is recognisably anything to do with the last film. Of that, I have no doubt whatsoever.
I also doubt it'll be called Justice League 2. They're gonna treat it like a soft reset. Same reason I'm pretty certain any new Superman movie we're getting is not gonna be called Man of Steel 2.
With the exception of Aquaman, I've said before that the Wonder Woman films (both of them) could easily exist in a reboot franchise because neither of them actually show any other cast members from the DCEU.Aquaman was made before Justice league was released. Shazam is not guaranteed to be in the DCEU. WW2 will probably have no reference to the DCEU, after the first film barely mentioned it. Neither Flash movie nor Lantern Corps are confirmed. There's a non DCEU Joker movie being made. New Gods isn't looking like it's part of the DCEU. No Batman for at least two years. No sign of a Man Of Steel 2.
I would argue the same for people who don't think a JL2 is eventually going to happen. Maybe we have different ideas of what is meant by Justice League 2, but I am confident in saying that the current films are not going to be the last time the likes of Henry's Superman, Gal's Wonder Woman, Jason's Aquaman (etc) are shown in the same room/sequence together. The singular doubt I have is whether we'll again see Affleck's Batman.People who think there will be a continuing DCEU, and a Justice League 2 in that same universe are deluding themselves.
The (inevitable?) Superman Sequel could do with being called Man of Tomorrow.I also doubt it'll be called Justice League 2. They're gonna treat it like a soft reset. Same reason I'm pretty certain any new Superman movie we're getting is not gonna be called Man of Steel 2.
