You’ve read the stories. You’ve debated the casting announcements. You’ve watched a handful of artists try to do justice to a legacy of iconic characters that’s now just short of a century old. Maybe you even demanded that Warners release the Snyder Cut. (If so: Um, thanks?) By now, we don’t need to recount to you the long, storied history of the D.C.E.U., or remind you that because of a number of corporate decisions, scandals, disappointments, accusations, and outright WTF head-scratchers, some new management is about…

Well, it was fun (some of the time, at least) while it lasted, but the DC Extended Universe has officially come to an end. With the release of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom on Dec. 22, 2023, the DCEU is defunct. Originally created as a rival to the MCU, the DCEU was launched with 2013’s Man of Steel, shortly followed by a Marvel-like phase full of projects planned for the next decade. As it happened various corporate upheavals and box office misfires ensured the franchise’s final line-up looked very different from what…

What are the biggest movies releasing in December 2023? Shah Rukh Khan headlines the biggest offering in Bollywood this month with Dunki, in which an Indian soldier offers to illegally relocate four locals to a foreign country through the donkey flight method. Marking his first collaboration with filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, the film is out December 21 in theatres. Long before that, we've got Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, which puts an Anglo-Indian spin on the beloved comic book characters, as they navigate friendship,…

As soon as James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought on board to revamp DC after a slew of debacles, the first decision they took was to look for a younger Superman to be the face of the DC Extended Universe. (Also Read: Dwayne Johnson breaks silence on Henry Cavill's Superman exit: 'We put our best foot forward...') David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan are the new Superman and Lois Lane Who's the new Superman?As per a report by The Hollywood Reporter, David Corenswet, 29-year-old American actor, has been roped…

With the multiverse antics seen in DC’s The Flash, it raises the question: just who are the actors that will be carried over into James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DC Universe, anyway? When news first broke about Gunn taking on the creative duties as the Co-CEO of DC Studios — alongside Safran — reports and assumptions immediately surfaced that his universe of movies would be a complete reboot of the so-called DC Extended Universe, the film franchise that originally kicked off with Zack…

I didn’t expect to feel this delighted stepping back into Zack Snyder’s DC Universe. Not just because of the merits of Andres Muschietti’s The Flash, but also the feeling and familiarity of returning to this world. This interpretation of Alfred, Bruce Wayne, the Batcave, and beyond. The Flash is essentially a sequel to Snyder’s Justice League. Barry Allen (an inimitable Ezra Miller offering perhaps the most affecting DC hero performance since Henry Cavill in Man of Steel) is getting used to the new superhero life. He’s…

The upcoming Venom 3 is about to start shooting next month, and producers have brought on a very special cinematographer to handle the overall look of the film – none other than Justice League and Zack Synder’s Justice League cinematographer Fabian Wagner. Wagner will shoot the sequel, which is a part of Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters and not Marvel itself. You want accolades? Wagner has those in spades. He worked on Game of Thrones and picked up an American Society of Cinematographers Award for the…

The DCEU (DC Extended Universe) is quite a messy timeline to untangle, especially when you consider that some movies don’t fit into the overall canon. However, if you’re looking to brush up on your DC knowledge ahead of the release of The Flash in June, then watching some of the previous films will help. You may be pleased to hear that this list is nowhere near as sprawling and complicated as the MCU – we also have a guide for watching the Marvel movies in order.  Below, we have guides for watching the DCEU…

Photo via Warner Bros. While we may never get to see Zack Snyder’s planned Justice League sequels, the director recently explained what some of those future flicks would’ve entailed from a narrative perspective, and fans don’t know if they agree with it. In other news, the BBC has just released another promo teaser for the upcoming 60th anniversary of Doctor Who, probably hinting that more trailers and sneak peeks are on the way, while Stephen King trends yet again for messing up a blurb. Maybe it’s for the…

There’s no denying that Gal Gadot was always the perfect choice for Diana Prince. Beyond her spot-on appearance, the actor has proven herself to be just as tough as her character, managing to flawlessly embody the Amazon just two months after giving birth to her third child. James Gunn has been making the rounds for Guardians of the Galaxy and the director’s mind is clearly already…
