Over the next two weeks, Anton successfully wrapped up filming.
The movie Cyborg officially entered post-production.
The special effects work had already begun, and with Baker's new technology, the remaining work could be completed within two weeks. As for the music, subtitles, editing, and other post-production tasks, those were even easier.
The professionals Anton hired were all industry-leading experts.
In this regard, he chose to trust their expertise.
The reason he personally handled the post-production work for The Riddle of the Shadows was because he had seen the finished film, making him something of an expert himself.
This time was different; he was just the director.
Directors don't know anything about movies; they're just tools who shout "action" and "cut."
After finishing the work, Anton returned to New York and took a vacation.
During this time, Stark Industries' stock price plummeted by $56.5 per share, and the market value was on a roller-coaster decline every day.
Following Anton's instructions, Betty bought a large number of Stark Industries shares that were being collectively sold off at a low point.
Currently, the situation still didn't look optimistic.
But Anton didn't care at all.
He knew that once Tony Stark appeared as Iron Man and gradually became popular, the market value of Stark Industries would naturally return to its original level, or even higher.
Anyway, he wouldn't lose money.
Actually, it was just a matter of seizing an opportunity, a little something extra.
After all, even if Stark Industries' stock rose, it was just a speculation, still a far cry from the old man's "money power."
Unless Anton could develop DC into a Disney of the Marvel world.
That might work.
During the few days of vacation, Anton was thinking about something else.
Tony's return half a month ago meant the world was back on track, and danger was gradually approaching.
There was about half a year to a year until the New York battle.
In other words, the newbie village was over!
It was time to step into the vast world and roll up his sleeves to make a big splash!
Regarding the future New York battle, Anton dared not claim he could turn the tide or prevent it from happening.
After all, Thanos was in space, and Loki was merely his pawn.
Given Anton's current situation, he couldn't possibly influence Thanos, the cosmic overlord, nor could he control the Chitauri invasion.
This included the Tesseract, which was firmly in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s grasp here on Earth.
Even if Anton, as Batman, negotiated with Nick Fury, the bald-headed Nick Fury, he couldn't sway Nick Fury's thinking.
Unless he turned against S.H.I.E.L.D., forcefully entering S.H.I.E.L.D. to seize the Tesseract.
But that wouldn't make things better; it would alter the course of history, leaving Anton unable to control the situation.
Moreover, both sides were on Earth. Although Anton wasn't fond of S.H.I.E.L.D., there was no need to cause internal strife.
When the Hydra problem was exposed, that's when Anton would seize control.
What needed to be done now was to actively prepare for the worst.
During the upcoming preparation period, he would exchange for more DC heroes, then integrate the superheroes on Earth to achieve an overwhelming victory.
This was a goal that was absolutely achievable.
From this perspective, Anton's current thoughts were actually identical to Nick Fury's, who had experienced the Kree invasion in the 90s.
To build a team of heroes to deal with foreign invasion.
However, the name of this team had to be changed now.
It was necessary to snatch it from the Black Egghead.
"'Avengers' is a terrible name, and the meaning isn't good... because Tony eventually kicks the bucket!"
Anton stroked his chin, pondering, "Justice League sounds better."
Forming the Justice League in the Marvel world! Thinking about it gets me a little excited.
"On the road to Gumira, a fifteen-mile journey, it can be called a trip to hell... This is a new bloody colonization, a warlord supported by a new force is driving the farmers and herders living here out of their peaceful villages, forcing them to leave their homes and wander..."
At this moment, the international news report that Anton had turned on was broadcasting.
War scenes of local conflicts unfolded on the television one by one.
The name of Stark Industries was prominently printed on those weapons and equipment that flashed by.
"Gumira…"
Anton stared intently, looking up at the war scenes on the television, feeling something.
Gumira under attack.
The countdown to Iron Man's birth was completely on.
As he pondered, a clear plan formed in his mind.
Currently, within the Daily Bugle, Batman and Venom could be 100% confirmed as Justice League founders.
When the Cyborg movie was released, exchanging for the superhero Cyborg would also allow him to join, becoming a co-founder of the Justice League.
Secondly, the remaining Marvel heroes he'd encountered were Daredevil and Spider-Man.
That came to a total of five people.
There's also Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, and Captain America, who haven't appeared yet but will soon become well-known to the public…
And Black Widow and Hawkeye, who belong to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Perhaps we should also include Colonel Rhodes from the military, Tony Stark's friend, the future War Machine.
Among these people, Daredevil, Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk, and Thor are all potential candidates for the Justice League.
At this moment, it's unknown whether Captain America has been unearthed from the ice. If he can be reasonably persuaded, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. can dig up Captain America, but they can't control his mind.
As for Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Rhodes, it's estimated that it will be difficult for these three to join the Justice League.
It's uncertain what S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military, these two major factions, will think of the Justice League, a non-official, formal organization.
However, what is certain is that even if these three don't join the Justice League led by Anton, they won't stand by and watch Earth be invaded by aliens.
That way, even if the worst-case scenario of the New York battle still happened, they could still defend against the alien invasion one hundred percent.
Because the enemies the Chitauri would face on Earth were Batman, Venom, Cyborg, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and War Machine.
A full 11 superheroes, each one a cheat code in human form.
This was a god-tier lineup, enough to grind the Chitauri, driven by Thanos to conquer Earth, into the ground.
Anton revealed a smile.
He figured that Venom was already on his side, and Eddie was diligently working for him, so there was no need to persuade him. He just needed to say the word to get him to join.
Therefore, Anton set his first target on Spider-Man.
At Midtown High.
Spider-Man had just finished school and was walking out with Gwen Stacy.
A group of their peers watched Peter and the goddess's backs, their eyes full of envy, but they didn't dare to step forward and stop them.
After gaining his abilities, Peter had undergone a huge change.
Confidence gave him a unique aura, and coupled with his status as a school genius, Peter's relationship with Gwen Stacy, the goddess of Midtown High, had recently become very good, only a confession away.
"Peter, are you free to come to my house for dinner this weekend?"
Suddenly, Gwen spoke up.
She stared at Peter beside her, slightly shy, but still bravely said these words that were practically a confirmation: "My father wants to meet you."
"What?"
Peter gasped, "Your father? George Stacy, the NYPD captain?"
"Why do you sound so scared of him?"
Gwen blinked, curious. "You're not a criminal or anything."
"No, no, I'll definitely go."
Peter gritted his teeth, unable to bring himself to refuse Gwen's invitation.
Then, watching Gwen leave, he sighed.
He felt that visiting George Stacy's house was as terrifying as being locked up in the NYPD's detention center.
Tsk!
As he was thinking, a sports car screeched to a halt in front of Peter.
Peter was taken aback.
He saw the car window roll down, revealing a face that wasn't unfamiliar in the driver's seat.
"You're..."
Peter had a good memory, and he immediately remembered the identity of the person, exclaiming, "That guy from the Daily Bugle the other day..."
Then, he widened his eyes, "Anton Jameson! The director who worked with Batman!"
