A new battle has started between the MCU and DCEU since the marketing team behindJustice Leagueripped offThor: Ragnarok’s marketing campaign, sharing colorful posters that look nearly identical to those of Thor. The brightly colored posters were first debuted forThor: Ragnaroka few weeks ago and they feature characters from the movie with a different colored backdrop to coincide with the character traits or outfit choice. Warner Bros. started a new phase of the marketing forJustice Leaguetoday and it features the same color schemes.
The newJustice Leagueposters shows off each character with a colorful backdrop. TheJustice Leagueposters show off more of a silhouette look than the full-on action shots that are portrayed on theRagnarokposters, but the color schemes are almost identical and it seems like it was almost done on purpose to instigate a fight between theDC Extended Universeand theMarvel Cinematic Universe. The colorful set of posters can be seen in below, but Warner Bros. additionally revealed they’ll each be available as prints starting next month, which indicates that they will more than likely be available at the New York Comic Con next weekend, much like the panels of theInfinity Warposters were given away at the San Diego Comic Con over the summer.
Ragnarokfinds Chris Hemsworth’s Thor dumped on a world run by the Grandmaster (Jeff Goldblum) and forced to do battle with his “friend from work,” The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who has decided that he doesn’t want to ever turn back into Bruce Banner ever again after the events ofAvengers: Age of Ultronand has begun to speak like a baby. Thor will have to battle Hela (Cate Blanchett), the goddess of death, with his adopted brother Loki and Heimdall (Idris Elba) by his side. It has been heavily rumored that the movie will help to set up the events ofAvengers: Infinity War.
WhereasJustice Leaguewill see Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Superman (Henry Cavill), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) joining forces to go up against the super villainSteppenwolf.Batman’s faith in humanity is restored afterSuperman’s actions inBatman v Supermanand decides to put together an elite squad to protect the Earth and defend the human race. The new promotional posters feature all of the aforementioned characters except Superman against a single colored background.
While theThor: Ragnarokposters are a bit flashier, theJustice Leagueposters bear more than a few similarities, especially when one thinks about them both beingcomic book moviesfrom rival publishers/studios. Who wins in a fight? Can Thor and Hulk take down the entireJustice Leaguefor ripping off their promotional posters? We’ll never really get the truth, but it sure is fun to speculate about.
