As Netflix begins production on the final season of Lucifer this fall, many are looking ahead to 2020 and wondering openly whether a major motion picture should be in the works.
If ever there was a cast with an already made fan base solidly established, this is it.
A new Facebook page promoting the Lucifer Movie already has over 1,200 backers signed up.

Let’s consider reality:
DC movies have struggled against their Marvel counterparts.
The recent Superman and Batman films have been, let’s just say it: Bad.
By Christmas 2020, after what is expected to be a brutal election year, movie fans in the US and around the world will be ready for a devil of a good time.
A witty and action packed two hour romp could fill the void.
DC could make Lucifer their new big screen franchise!
Lucifer is based on a DC comic book.
With an expected exciting finish for Season Five, Lucifer will have left broadcast TV and Netflix.
What then?
Some have speculated that Lucifer himself, Tom Ellis, will be the official James Bond following Daniel Craig’s retirement.

British star Lashana Lynch has been given Bond’s license to kill in the 25th movie in the franchise.
But while she is 007 in Craig’s final movie, she is not James Bond.
The decision on what to do with Bond, and who will play him, remains up in the air.
Tom’s movie career has already been preordained by God (or dad if we want to stay in character).
So, before that happens, why not take one of the most successful modern TV franchises and give it a film run?
Ellis, himself, has already suggested we’re at a good starting point for a movie:
“I think we leave it in a place where, hopefully, people will be going, ‘You can’t leave it there!’ Which is always, you know, the key,” said Ellis last week.
DC and Warner Brothers need only look at the incredible fan response in the hours following Lucifer’s cancellation on Fox to its resurrection on Netflix for proof.
And think of all the new fans a big screen version would attract?
Each one of the series stars deserve some big screen love: Ellis as Lucifer Morningstar, Lauren German as Chloe Decker, Kevin Alejandro as Dan Espinoza, Aimee Garcia as Ella Lopez, D.B. Woodside as Amenadiel, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Mazikeen, and Rachael Harris as Linda Martin.

DID YOU KNOW:
Lucifer was made into a movie earlier this year?
This Lucifer is a Indian Malayalam-language political action film directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and written by Murali Gopy.
It currently has an 84% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
I would much rather have the series continue. How long is a movie, 1 1/2 hours to maybe 2 1/4 hours? So far series movies come out about every 2 years or so? I’d rather see the series because they have so many more chances of different stories instead of on story as a movie. At first I liked the idea, but not so much now. It seems Netflix and WBros TV are trying to push the Sandman comic into the spot Lucifer has had. I’ve never seen the Lucifer or Sandman comic’s, so don’t really know about it. People who have, say the series is not like the comic book series was. I’ve already made my mind up, when Lucifer is shown on Netflix next year, I’ll watch it and then morn it’s death…probably for years. Lucifer has been such a great series and Netflix and I will be parting company (who keeps pushing the Sandman series along with Stranger Things (which I found to be boring because its so much like a movie I saw about some teens with a camera filming something strange) I’m not interested in that along with old Rocky movies series Netflix has chosen to bring back.
The Lucifer series has been a breath of fresh air compared to all the junk reality shows (seems they are scripted anyways), tired talk shows, and other old garbage being shown. I can live without TV. Might check out some other streaming services, but ready to throw in the towel on most regular program’s anyway. Lucifer series has been the best series IMHO and I’m really going to miss the fun, stories, humor and great acting.
