Warner Bros. has moved the debut date of its Superman/Batman movie from June 26, 2015 to May 6, 2016, the same weekend that is slated to see the debut of an as-yet-unnamed Marvel movie.
This may not be the last shuffle of superhero movie dates for the spring of 2016.
Fox’s X-Men: Apocalypse is currently set to open a week later and Sony’s Amazing Spider-Man 3 is close behind.
Warner Bros. is giving the Superman/Batman date to Pan, Joe Wright’s 3-D action movie updating of Peter Pan.
The switch to the June 26th date keeps Pan from having to open against what is expected to be a blockbuster comedy Ted 2 from Seth McFarlane and Universal and keeps the Superman/Batman film from having to open between a Fantastic Four movie and a reboot of the Terminator franchise.
An unnamed Warner executive denied rumors that the delay in Superman/Batman is due to a leg injury sustained by Ben Affleck who is playing Batman.
