The shiny new DCU hasn’t even released a single feature and yet it’s already becoming a pretty crowded place. New DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has begun his relaunch of the cinematic universe in earnest, as the currently ongoing casting process for Superman: Legacy has already raised the hype for the summer 2025 reboot of the Man of Steel’s adventures through the roof in the DC fan community. Gunn has promised that Legacy will introduce us to “a world where superheroes exist and have existed for quite a while,” so this…

One of Marvel’s longest-held secrets revolves around the now almost decade-old Guardians of the Galaxy. However, even though this hidden treasure is still largely unknown to the general public, a select lucky few are indeed privy to it, according to James Gunn. This all came to light via Gunn himself on his Threads account, which appears to have definitively become the new spot for cool cats to hang out as Twitter (or ‘X,’ nowadays) continues to make changes that are largely unfavorable to its user base. When a fan asked…

Now that James Gunn has cast his pal Nathon Fillion (Slither) in the role of Guy Gardner in the upcoming Superman: Legacy, fans are wondering what that means for the DC universe that Fillion left behind as a member of 2021’s Suicide Squad. On Tuesday, Gunn’s DC Studios co-head Peter Safran announced that Fillion will play the third-string Green Lantern in the New DCU. The actor already played T.D.K. (The Detachable Kid) in Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, where his limbs met a tragic end even before the opening credits. Fans…

by Chris Bagget If you were hoping for a preview of the James Gunn DC film slate at SDCC, you’re out of luck. The new co-CEO of DC Studios has made it clear he won’t be at the convention this year. But he did offer some hope to fans – teasing a potential return to the event in the future. In a post on Gunn’s Instagram celebrating what he referred to as “probably last weekend in the top ten in theaters,” Gunn answered a fan question asking if he would be making an appearance at Comic-Con. “I won’t be there this year but…

via Warner Bros. The current incarnation of the DCU looks set to go out with a whimper, rather than a bang. Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash have all been box office catastrophes for Warner Bros. That’s especially true for the latter, which was hyped to high heaven as “one of the greatest superhero movies of all-time,” but may lose the studio an incredible $200 million. The immediate future isn’t looking so hot, either. The Blue Beetle trailers are actually pretty fun, though nobody is…

via Universal You could argue that there’s something ghoulish about the way the incoming DCU reboot is being given life out of the dead carcass of the original DCEU, so maybe it’s fitting that studio co-CEO James Gunn seems determined to reflect his franchise’s origins on screen by pilfering a concept from the most notorious shared universe in cinema history, one which died its own ugly death six years ago. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny‘s James Mangold, one of only three filmmakers attached to the DCU…

Image via Warner Bros. Though we’d be hard-pressed to find any redeeming qualities about the SnyderVerse and the DCEU as a whole, some fans are convinced that James Gunn should leave well enough alone and abandon his planned reboot, and they will apparently stop at nothing to defame the filmmaker in the community. You can’t really take Zack Snyder’s contributions to the DCEU seriously considering the history of abject mediocrity dogging his creative footmarks. Yes, there’s no denying that The Snyder Cut of…
