Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom director James Wan says he learned everything about family from his time in the Fast and Furious franchise.

Director James Wan has confirmed that elements from the canceled horror-themed spin-off film The Trench made it into Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has a first poster, trailer, and some new images that dive deep into the lore of this corner of the DC Universe.

All Rights Reserved. As if things with this movie weren't dramatic enough, rumors began to surface that Co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios James Gunn had stepped in and changed the film for Wan, causing even more online rumors to run amok Wan quickly shuts that down, that he and Gunn go way back and stands[...]

Discovery and DC Studios was hanging around this weekend, looking at the calendar, and lazily thinking about all of the movies they are releasing before the end of the year Sure, they might have delayed Dune: Part Two, but others are on the way, and the marketing for all of them is chugging along, right? Then[...]

And with that wait without a date, the dumpster fires of random speculation started targeting DC Studios Co-Heads James Gunn & Peter Safran for blame – though decisions on both shows were finalized well before Gunn & Safran came aboard In fact, Gunn pushed back on reports from July that the remaining episodes were being[...]

When he's not trying to remember how to get access back to his Facebook account (we feel your pain) or dealing with another round of folks digging up old posts from over a decade ago, DC Studios' co-head James Gunn is actually doing some pretty important stuff For us, it's all about offering updates on[...]

Anyone who's been following DC Studios co-head and Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn over the course of his career knows that he doesn't hesitate to reach out on social media to engage with the fans and the professional community During those engagements, Gunn tends to be pretty blunt & honest when it comes to what[...]

Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto talks about [SPOILER] 's death, its place in the narrative, and what he hoped to accomplish with it.

But the award this week goes to whoever took a number of the released mugshots and worked a little editing magic to turn them into alt-reality versions of 1960s Batman villains (it appears to be @IAmHappyToast) – but as far as "fancasting goes," DC Studios co-head James Gunn is making it clear that it won't[...]

Blue Beetle director Angel Manuel Soto explains how the Reyes family doesn't need a superhero to save them and how, in the end, they end up doing the saving.

Blue Beetle is the first superhero movie of 2023, and maybe even longer, to get the concept of cinematic worldbuilding right.

It feels like a return to form, which is something that DC Studios needs as they head into a new chapter of films and shows Unlike Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, and likely Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Blue Beetle shows up with virtually no baggage from the previous era and confidently stands on its[...]

It's nice to see DC Studios co-head and Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn getting back to his steady stream of social media insights & updates Recently, he cleared up a mistake regarding the upcoming "Crisis" and "Watchmen" animated projects, addressed the rumblings around The Flash star Grant Gustin, made an interesting comparison between "Legacy" and the Steve[...]

With Gunn & co-DC Studios head Peter Safran making it clear that superheroes have existed in their DCU before The Man of Steel (which we believe Creature Commandos will play into), the news shouldn't come as a surprise – in fact, now having heroes around when we know that they're out there would be even[...]

When it comes to DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming animated series based on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos, most of our updates have come directly from the writer himself (with Frank Grillo dropping some social media teases) – Gunn In fact, Gunn offered an update on the[...]

Another name we can add to that list is DC Studios co-head & Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn Even in the midst of his birthday celebration, Gunn was still able to carve out some updates and a bit of gossip clean-up regarding The CW's "Arrowverse" The Flash star Grant Gustin But first, we have those[...]

Tickets for Blue Beetle are officially on sale, and that means we have some new posters floating around. The film will be released on August 18th.

Back in February of this year, DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran made it pretty clear that Wonder Woman would be playing a major role in their new DCU moving forward Putting their words into action, the duo announced the prequel series Paradise Lost as part of its initial "Chapter 1 – Gods and[...]

And with Creature Commandos also expected to hit sometime in 2024, things were looking pretty exciting on the animation side of DC Studios co-heads James Gunn & Peter Safran's new DC Universe – but not so fast While Creature Commandos is apparently still on track for 2024, Gunn took to Threads to clarify that "Crisis"[...]

While we were hoping for some more casting news to come out of San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, at least we got Gunn back on social media to shoot down more rumblings out there on the intertubes about what's going on (or, in these cases, not going on) with the future of his &[...]

Superman: Legacy's James Gunn reaffirmed that Clark & Lois are still the focus and responded to those Daniel Craig/Lex Luthor rumblings.

Superman: Legacy has cast Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific & Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner.

It's pretty safe to say that DC Studios has not exactly been hitting it out of the park when it comes to its 2023 Both Shazam! Fury of the Gods and The Flash have not only underperformed critically, but they have also underperformed commercially, with The Flash being cited as a possible catastrophic failure for DC and[...]

Now that DC Studios Co-Head & Superman: Legacy writer & director James Gunn had found his leads in David Corenswet (Hollywood), aka Superman/Clark Kent, and Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs Maisel), aka Lois Lane, we're expecting things to slowly start picking up steam on the DCU film pretty soon (barring the writers' strike and a possible[...]
