Chapter 284 Premonition of Demon
Hearing Jim suggestion, Anton actually got excited and came up with quite a few ideas.
"I think we can use the recent Battle of New York as the backdrop. It a perfect opportunity to let the world understand more about this battle and to let them know what role the Justice League actually played in it," Anton suggested.
"I don't have time to go into details with you. You should talk to Eddie, Eddie Brock from the Daily bugle you should have his contact."
"No problem," Jim quickly agreed.
He could tell that Anton was clearly in agreement with his proposal.
Justice League vs. Avengers!
With the Battle of New York as the background, making this reality-based film...
Who else but DC Company would dare to shoot such a film in the entire world?
In this film, Batman would undoubtedly be the main character.
The Justice League, to which Batman belongs, would definitely be the embodiment of positive energy.
This means that the opponents, the Avengers, and all its members, would undoubtedly become the villains of the piece.
It important to note that although the Avengers have disbanded, its members have not disappeared. Most of them, like Tony Stark of Iron Man, Harry Osborn of OsCorp, Captain America Steve Rogers, and others, are still active in the public eye.
Each of these individuals has an impressive background. Apart from Anton, who is closely associated with Batman and a member of the Justice League, who would dare to make fun of them?
This means that once this film project is green-lit, it would inevitably become the focus of the entire world.
The project cannot possibly fail.
If it were to fail, Jim would willingly unscrew his head and kick it around like a ball for Anton.
After the discussion with Anton, Jim couldn't wait to call Eddie. After a conversation, both were extremely excited.
Eddie, who also has a bit of a wicked sense of humor, was thrilled at the thought of making a big splash in the movie, thrashing the Avengers, and the fact that this scene would be broadcast worldwide with the film release.
He excitedly put down his current work to focus on this new project.
He shared this news with Phil, who turned out to be even more excited than him.
Don't forget, ever since Phil became a superhero, he has always dreamed of having his own standalone film, like Batman, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg, where both the film and his real name would be praised.
Justice League vs. Avengers... The initiation of this film seemed to symbolize that a standalone movie for the demon was already in the plans.
Phil, eager to get started, dragged Eddie to DC Company to meet with Anton personal editor, Browning Toby, to discuss the screenplay.
Eddie and Phil even assured him that they could bring in legitimate heroes of the Justice League like Spider-Man, Daredevil, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Venom, and the demons for cameo appearances.
Throughout this process, Anton completely ignored the matter.
He had more important things to do.
After leaving Jim film crew, Anton came to a stadium in Los Angeles to watch a spectacular stunt performance.
The performer was none other than Johnny Blaze, acclaimed as the world most outstanding stunt performer, holder of nine world records, and recently, a bona fide movie actor.
Following the release of "hellblazer" in which he played Satan, Johnny received considerable attention.
Although his screen time in the movie was only about ten minutes, his performance was universally praised by film critics.
This acclaim took Johnny stunt career to a whole new level.
With increased attention, Johnny made a decision that could only be described as insane.
He planned to challenge his own limits by riding a motorcycle to leap across a football field, spanning the distance between two goalposts.
Many media reporters described this as a death wish, claiming Johnny Blaze had no regard for his own life.
Only Johnny fans cheered enthusiastically for this.
But they didn't know that even Johnny own team members had begun to question his decision.
Johnny was adamant, ignoring advice and acting as if he had foreseen something.
Today, the performance was about to start.
In other words, this was the moment when Johnny would face life and death.
Anton sat in the front row of the stadium, keenly watching the track ahead.
His gaze swept over the middle distance, where dozens of cars were lined up.
"With this kind of play, surviving all these years and even setting nine world records is more remarkable than any angelic protection," Anton remarked.
To some extent, being protected by a demon seems safer than by an angel.
Especially being protected by the lord of Hell, Mephisto.
Mephisto is no ordinary demon. As the ruler of Hell, his existence represents the Hell dimension.
Similar to Dormammu, who represents the Dark Dimension.
In essence, this also makes him a Marvel supervillain of the highest caliber.
Fortunately, Mephisto cannot leave Hell for long periods.
The strength of Mephisto powers is tied to his location.
The longer he is away from Hell, the weaker his powers become.
Furthermore, in any world, it is very difficult for Mephisto true form to truly descend to Earth.
Thus, Mephisto commonly uses avatars to descend to Earth, wielding pitifully weak powers compared to his true form to tempt and deceive.
In the comics, he has made deals with many superheroes.
Once a contract is completed, it cannot be changed.
Mephisto has thus taken many valuable things from numerous superheroes, proving to be a supremely cunning and deceitful character.
As Anton pondered, a huge cheer erupted around him, surging like a tidal wave.
"Has it started?"
Anton slightly raised his head, spotting Johnny Blaze appearing on the football field.
The audience within sight, with flame stickers on their faces, was vocally enthusiastic.
As fans of Johnny Blaze, their expectations for this stunt performance exceeded those of ordinary people.
This was a man who constantly challenged the limits of life.
With a rumbling sound, Johnny quickly prepared and twisted the throttle of his motorcycle.
As the exhaust released a roar like that of a dragon, Johnny drove his motorcycle skyward, shooting off the ramp.
In mid-air, he traced a graceful parabola, aiming straight for the landing ramp on the other side.
The cheering from the crowd grew even louder.
Yet, many seemed not to hear anything at all, their gazes fixed on Johnny in mid-air, clutching the handlebars, with cold sweat breaking out involuntarily on their backs.
Sitting in the front row, Anton locked his gaze on Johnny in mid-air and squinted his eyes.
Armed with all of Constantine knowledge, he could clearly see a dark aura emanating from Johnny, visible only to a few.
This was... a premonition of demon.
It seemed Johnny really had sensed something, which is why he had made such a dangerous decision under the guise of challenging himself.
