Warner Bros move Batman V Superman release date

Hollywood - Warner Bros has decided to change the release date of the eagerly-awaited Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The decision to move the date of the much-hyped flick - starring Ben Affleck - to March 25, 2016, means that the studio has avoided clashing with Marvel's Captain America 3, which is sure to attract a similar amount of attention.

Captain America 3 will be released in the US on 6 May 2016, meaning there will be a healthy amount of space between both blockbuster films.

Marvel supremo Stan Lee recently joked he should be offered a cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Lee said rivals DC Comics should ask him to make an appearance in their upcoming sequel to make it more successful.

He quipped: "DC could probably make a lot more money with Superman and Batman if they announced that I'd have a cameo in it!

"People wouldn't believe it - they'd have to go to the theatre and see it!"

Lee, 91, also said that he's tremendously proud of the success Marvel Studio's films have performed at the box office.
