Gunn

Ever since the DCU first launched a decade ago with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, the franchise has become virtually synonymous with studio interference, given that the grubby fingerprints of Warner Bros. have gotten involved more often than not. However, James Gunn refuses to sanction the conspiracies that Superman: Legacy will suffer the same fate. Under previous regimes, the likes of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and even Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom have been subject…

Despite what a very vocal minority of internet users would try and have you believe, the glory years of the comic book adaptation did not begin and end with Zack Snyder‘s contributions to DC, even if there’s an alarming number of people out there struggling to reconcile with the fact the filmmaker is plenty content crafting original blockbusters for Netflix. In a medium that’s existed since long before the superhero movie boom, and will continue to endure long after the bubble bursts, there’s no law on which titles can…

Out of the plethora of mind-melting collaborations that have opened throughout the history of cinema, it’s certainly hard to discredit the successful alliance between Zack Snyder and James Gunn for 2004’s highly successful zombie extravaganza Dawn of the Dead. For many, it’s easily Snyder’s best movie to date — all while interestingly being his first — and a top-notch zombie flick thanks to Gunn’s engaging screenplay which has helped the movie stand the test of time. Over on the r/horror subreddit, where all…

Nobody expected Sean Gunn to find himself at the center of one of the earliest storms to emerge during the joint strike action that’s got both actors and writers on the picket lines, but it’s probably best to expect the unexpected seeing as the entire industry has just been turned upside down. The Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran went to town on Netflix over the lack of royalties he receives from his time on Gilmore Girls, which has proven itself to be one of the streaming service’s most consistently bingeable hits ever…

With 2025’s Superman: Legacy having found its Clark Kent and Lois Lane in David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, respectively, it’s time to count down other major DC roles we would love to see. These roles may apply to Superman: Legacy, which has cast a few colorful characters other than the main leads or James Gunn’s broader DC Universe. Before you scoff at the below hypothetical entries, bear in mind Gunn has already cast some fan-favorite picks in Corenswet as well as Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern. Clearly, he is an…

Whatever your idea of a typical Superman movie is, James Gunn is not making that. The writer and director of 2025's Superman: Legacy got the ball rolling by first casting David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan as Clark Kent and Lois Lane. Which makes sense. Those characters arethe leads in most Superman movies. From there, casting so far has been atypical, to say the least, and Gunn recently commented on why that is.Sean Gunn on Working With His BrotherAfter casting Clark/Superman and Lois, Gunn followed it up by casting…

Any time anything happens that could be interpreted as even the smallest slight against Zack Snyder and his original DCU mythology, the knives (which were already very sharp to begin with) will hit the iron once again and find themselves pointed in the direction of James Gunn. There are already countless conspiracy theories being touted by the SnyderVerse subset revolving around the studio’s current co-CEO and his deliberate attempts to sabotage his Dawn of the Dead collaborator at every turn, which obviously don’t tend…

The new DCU just keeps getting bigger thanks to the latest procession of casting announcements for Superman: Legacy, with James Gunn adding a whole roster of superheroes to the franchise reboot. In fact, those who know their DC Comics are pretty sure that Gunn is already paving the way for an underrated super-team, and if that’s the case he’s already showing up Marvel’s failure to capitalize on the hype for Fantastic Four. Two of the fresh additions to Superman: Legacy are Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific and Anthony…

Having arguably been too online for a long time, James Gunn announced to the world a while back that he would be stepping away from the world of debunking unfounded rumors regarding projects he was involved with on a creative level, which was always only going to be temporary given that Superman: Legacy was lurking just over the horizon. Sure enough, the Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran and co-CEO of DC Studios has risen like phoenix from the ashes to spread his wings, and soar right into the thick of the never-ending…

The past 24 hours have been good to Marvel and DC lovers as we had a flurry of thrilling casting announcements for James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy over at Marvel’s Distinguished Competition while Disney Plus released the latest episode of Secret Invasion – meaning the show is now in the final stretch. If only the little-viewed, critically rejected series was actually managing to deliver on the enormous amount of cash the studio invested in it in the first place… Secret Invasion has a bigger budget than 69% of MCU movies…
