Starting VisionQuest, and we’re all just supposed to believe that the MCU is done with Wanda and Vision after this? Like Elizabeth Olsen isn’t waiting in the wings for Secret Wars?

Always interesting when the Reeves/Pattinson Batman is included in the lineup of what Gunn/Safran/DC Studios has in the works while at the same time there’s zero mention of Brave and the Bold. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Safran rolled through their slate, which includes the recently released full season of Lanterns, Clayface, Man of Tomorrow in post-production with Gunn at the helm, Batman Part II in production (with Steven Soderbergh jumping in to help Matt Reeves), The People v. Gorilla Grodd in production, and more TBD.
