But when you're writer/director James Gunn, and you're asked to verify something shared by one of the stars of the film, it gets a bit more sticky In this case, Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern Guy Gardner) shared during today's TCA 2024 Winter Press Event for ABC's The Rookie that there's a "Legacy" table read set[...]

First, how series creator James Gunn is doing writing-wise with the scripts – with Gunn confirming that he recently finished the season's eighth & final episode Second, how Gunn plans on making the first season work in line with the New DCU since it hit screens before Gunn & Peter Safran took over as co-CEOs[...]

Not long after the new year began, James Gunn shared that he had figured out a way to make it work in a way that wouldn't be confusing for fans While you might think that would be enough to keep fans satisfied – at least for a little while – it actually stirred up even[...]

If there was a theme to today's DC Studios update from Co-CEO James Gunn, it's "didn't/won't." Give us a second – it's gonna make sense First up, since artificial intelligence (AI) and how we're creating our own eventual overlords (Skynet much?) seems to be the hot topic these days, Gunn was asked if DC Studios[...]

When you're DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, and you're in the middle of creating a new DCU with partner Peter Safran, you know that a lot of plates are going to need to be kept spinning at the same time Except that plate-spinning is actually easier because you usually don't have a million people hanging[...]

Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn is rolling out more announcements about the 2025-premiering film, confirming that a very familiar name has come aboard to score the project – someone who Gunn is very familiar with – Composer John Murphy (28 Days Later, Sunshine, Kick-Ass, The Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3). "Happy to announce that my[...]

Earlier today, we shared our update on how things were looking with the animated Creature Commandos, the Amanda Waller (Viola Davis)-focused Waller, the Green Lantern series Lanterns, the Wonder Woman prequel series Paradise Lost, Booster Gold, and the second season of Peacemaker, before DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn posted a message in honor of the one-year anniversary of[...]

When we shared our update on how things were looking with the animated Creature Commandos, the Amanda Waller (Viola Davis)-focused Waller, the Green Lantern series Lanterns, the Wonder Woman prequel series Paradise Lost, Booster Gold, and the second season of Peacemaker, we were also wondering if DC Studios co-heads James Gunn & Peter Safran would be doing[...]

The news that House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock has been cast as Supergirl was confirmed by James Gunn, posting on his Threads account saying, "This one is true Welcome to the DCU, Milly Alcock!" The new Supergirl movie is intended to be an adaptation of Tom King and Bilquis Evely's Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow eight-issue comic[...]

Just before Milly Alcock (HBO's House of the Dragon) was announced as Supergirl for DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's new DCU, Gunn found himself having to shut down another round of "Superman won't be a big focus of Gunn's DCU" nonsense But that was yesterday – today, we find the focus shifting[...]

Earlier today, the big news broke that HBO's House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock had been cast as Supergirl in DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC Universe While it isn't clear if Alcock's Supergirl will appear in Gunn's Superman: Legacy, the character is expected to appear in a DCU project[...]

But from a coverage standpoint, we really began tuning up our radar back in November 2023 when James Gunn started sharing updates on how the upcoming season was coming along writing-wise In fact, heading into the weekend, Gunn shared that he was already working on the "banger" (his word) eighth & final episode But will[...]

Yesterday, Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn and María Gabriela De Faría (Animal Control) posted a look at the chance they had to meet up as De Faría gets started on costume fittings and stunt training In the David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan-starring film, De Faría portrays Angela Spica/The Engineer – a member of the Warren Ellis & Bryan[...]

Finally! After spending way too much time debunking wacky rumors regarding the film as it nears the start of filming, Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn is getting a chance to officially give us a peek behind the scenes at how things are going in the early stages of work on the David Corenswet & Rachel Brosnahan-starring film[...]

Considering the number of projects that he's overseeing as co-CEO of DC Studios, he's also writing/directing Superman: Legacy, penning the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, writing/directing the upcoming adult animated series Creature Commandos, and a whole lot more, it's impressive just how much James Gunn is able to regularly update us on what's[...]

A perfect example is writer/director James Gunn's Superman: Legacy First, we had folks coming at Gunn on social media when casting news began rolling out The problem? They were afraid that there were too many name-brand characters being introduced and that David Corenswet's Superman/Clark Kent and Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane would end up getting lost in[...]

Even with Superman: Legacy officially in play at that point, DC Studios co-CEO and "Legacy" writer & director James Gunn made it clear back in May 2023 during an interview with io9 that writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and producer J.J Abrams' Superman reboot project was still in development. "Those two things are totally unrelated," Gunn confirmed regarding the[...]

Because DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn is a notorious multi-tasker, we've been getting a steady stream of updates on the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker – even with all of the other DCU stuff swirling around We learned that Gunn has "a way in" when it comes to making the first season work with[...]

Over the past year, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has been doing a great job of not just rolling out news & updates regarding Superman: Legacy but also cutting through a lot of the bullshit (pardon our gruff professionalism) out there so that can keep their scorecards updated on what's fact, what's fiction, and what's just[...]

Three updates on DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming animated series based on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos in two days?!? What's that expression about having a cup and it "runneth-ing over"? First, we have Gunn confirming that Anya Chalotra (The Witcher) was taking on the role of Circe –[...]

Well, this was a nice surprise! We were more than happy to have just one update on DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming animated series based on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos – especially when it involves learning that Anya Chalotra (The Witcher) was taking on the role[...]

With all of the big news lately surrounding Superman: Legacy, let's not forget that DC Studios' James Gunn & Peter Safran's new DCU kicks off this year with the animated series based on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos. The role call for the adult animated series (and any potential live-action takes) includes[...]

Last month, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn looked to clarify some question marks surrounding Matt Reeves's "Arkham Asylum" series and whether or not it was ever intended to be set in the Robert Pattinson-starring The Batman universe ("Elseworlds") or was always planned for the DCU. When asked back in December if the series was always planned to[...]

We know that DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has passed the halfway point when it comes to writing the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, that Gunn has "a way in" when it comes to making the first season work with the new DCU, and that the next go-around will have a different opening than[...]

As much as we've been loving the Superman: Legacy updates, it's what DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has had to share about the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker that's been blowing up our radar Along with learning that he's well past the halfway point when it comes to the scripts, Gunn also reassured us that[...]

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[...]

If the rumor mill is any sign of the level of interest that fans have in a project, then DC Studios & Max look like they have a hit on their hands already with Viola Davis-starring Waller. Earlier today, we reported on DC Studios co-CEO & Superman: Legacy writer/director James Gunn shutting down rumblings that Amanda[...]
