It will be one year – as of January 31st – since DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran rolled out the first wave of films & television series that made of "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters" as the duo began weaving together a new DCU But they weren't venturing into universe-building on[...]

Less than a week after DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn dropped the update that the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker was "over halfway written," Gunn is addressing a topic that fans have been arching their eyebrows over since Gunn was announced to be joining Peter Safran to craft a new DCU If the first[...]

James Gunn shut down a pretty big rumor drop regarding the episode count, script status, cast additions, and more for Waller.

Another day, another set of updates to pass along regarding Superman: Legacy as well as the rest of the upcoming DCU – and once again, we have DC Studios co-CEO & "Legacy" writer/director James Gunn to thank for them So let's dive right into the first, which also gives us a chance to touch base[...]

From a social media standpoint, DC Studios co-head James Gunn has hit 2024 strong when it comes to offering updates on all of the projects in play stemming from the first chapter in his & co-CEO Peter Safran's efforts in creating a new DCU, "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters."

Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn offered a New Year's Day production update, confirming "more" than 90% of the cast is locked in.

Even with DC Studios co-head James Gunn ready to start filming on Superman: Legacy in a few months and the animated Creature Commandos set to kick off his & co-CEO Peter Safran's new DCU in 2024, we've been trying to keep our radars tuned to the other projects that were announced almost a year ago as[...]

As for what members of the "Super-Family" we could expect to see in "Legacy" or somewhere else in the DCU, noted cat lover Gunn was asked if Streaky the Supercat (created by Jerry Siegel & Jim Mooney and debuting in 1960's Action Comics #261) would be appearing in his & DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran's[...]

Superman: Legacy's James Gunn shared that we wouldn't believe "the amount of pleading and upset" he's gotten over "trunks/no trunks."

It turns out that the series won't be set in Reeves's "Batverse" ("Elseworlds") after all, with Gunn confirming that "Arkham" will be set in the DCU and that Reeves will be working on projects in both universes Except, it seems that as far as Gunn is concerned, the project was never a "Batverse" title, so[...]

During a week that saw him defending the size of the Superman: Legacy cast, pushing back on what he described as "cameo porn," and explaining once again the difference between the DCU & DC Studios projects, DC Studios co-CEO & "Legacy" writer/director James Gunn found himself facing two major casting leaks on Friday – and[...]

During the last go-around, Gunn was defending the size of the "Legacy" cast and pushed back on what he described as "cameo porn."

Although Hunnam mentioned never speaking with Snyder about it, it's not clear if the offer was made during the "Snyderverse" era (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice & Zack Snyder's Justice League) or for him to join DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's new DCU (which has been steadily growing[...]

Noting that he couldn't be happier with the decision and that Lex was one of his favorite DCU characters, Gunn shared that he & Hoult had already started discussing the latter's take on the big bad "We went out to dinner last night to celebrate and discuss how we can create a Lex that will[...]

For this go-around, Gunn tackles one topic that keeps coming up with each casting announcement – that the cast of Superman: Legacy is getting too big & filled with too many cameos, with The Man of Steel's story being sacrificed for the sake of building out the new DCU It's an issue that he's tackled[...]

Following that, Gunn reaffirmed that the second season is set in his & DC Studios Co-CEO Peter Safran's new DCU (which has us curious about how the first season will be handled) But if you think it's "more freeing" writing the second season in a DCU of his own making as opposed to a pre-existing[...]

Along with the news that Nicholas Hoult (Hulu's The Great) is joining DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's new DCU as Lex Luthor for Gunn's upcoming Superman: Legacy, we had another reason to be excited Because whenever Gunn takes to social media for an announcement, we're almost certain to get some interesting updates from[...]
