And yet, I didn't see anything specifically from James Gunn, Peter Safran, or DC Studios about the matter – and it has been bugging the s**t out of me. Another anniversary that's coming up is the one-year anniversary of when we addressed an editorial to Gunn & Safran about how they can avoid repeating Marvel's past[...]

If you're Superman writer/director James Gunn, that fact has two very important meanings First, as a comic book fan, Holt's Mr Terrific has proven himself to be a major foundational character and big-time player in the DCU, so there's a lot to celebrate there As a filmmaker, there's an appreciation considering Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class)[...]

On Monday, it was Superman writer/director James Gunn debunking some whackjob conspiracy theory involving Nathan Fillion misspeaking and some Snyder-folks who can't shake their "The Man of Steel"/Henry Cavill obsession But today is a new day, and with that new day comes yet another "concern" out of left field Apparently, some folks think that the film's 5-6[...]

Last week, we covered what Nathan Fillion had to share about playing Green Lantern Guy Gardner in writer/director James Gunn's Superman – when a misspeak on Fillion's part blew up into a conspiracy theory that Gunn addressed on social media over the weekend During an interview, Fillion shared how he learned that he would be playing[...]

We know that James Gunn is busy with Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 – but we also know that DC Studios has a number of other "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters" projects in development that we could be hearing about sooner rather than later Based on what Gunn posted earlier today, could Lanterns be[...]

One of the best ways that DC Studios CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran could show their commitment to animation was to have their New DCU kick off with their series take on writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos And it's a good thing that it's set to hit later this year[...]

Yesterday, we had a chance to hear what Isabela Merced (Hawkgirl) had to share about writer/director James Gunn's Superman – specifically, how excited she is to work with Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern Guy Gardner) and Edi Gathegi (Mister Terrific) For this go-around, we're getting to hear from one of the two people Merced is excited about[...]

After learning from series creator James Gunn that three directors will be joining him on the filming of the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker, we're getting a chance to jump from the business/production side of things to something much more personal (and a lot more fun) In case you didn't know, today is Cena's birthday[...]

As much as we always appreciate getting updates on DC Studios' Superman from writer/director James Gunn, it's also nice getting to hear from the rest of the cast – especially the way they try to walk that fine line between informative and spoiler Earlier today, we had a chance to check in with Isabela Merced[...]

Along with filming continuing on the upcoming DC Studios feature film, Superman writer/director James Gunn and leads David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) & Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) celebrated the 86th anniversary of the first appearance of the character – in 1938's Action Comics #1 from writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster In that vein, that could[...]

We think we can all agree that James Gunn is very busy When he's not co-running DC Studios with Peter Safran and crafting a New DCU, he's writing & directing the Superman feature film, starting work on the second season of Max's Peacemaker, and making sure that the animated series Creature Commandos makes it to[...]

If you're looking for[...]

With today being the 86th anniversary of the first appearance of Superman (1938's Action Comics #1 from writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster), what better day than today for Superman writer/director James Gunn and leads David Corenswet (Superman/Clark Kent) and Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane) to celebrate the special occasion? That's exactly what we got,[...]

While we could definitely spend an entire article discussing how Grant Gustin's Barry Allen was disrespected by his total lack of involvement in Ezra Miller-starring The Flash (we've already gone on record with our feelings on how Gustin was treated in the whole deal), in terms of James Gunn & Peter Safran's DC Studios, Gunn has always[...]

A day after it was reported that veteran character actor & Emmy winner Pruitt Taylor Vince (Murder One, Lady in the Lake) had been cast in the role of Jonathan Kent/"Pa Kent," it appears that writer/director James Gunn's Superman has found its Martha Kent/"Ma Kent."

Heading into this weekend's big news that filming (a "pre-shoot") on the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker was officially underway, series creator James Gunn had made it clear that he wouldn't be directing the new season by himself Though having penned the second season, Gunn's responsibilities with Superman filming (and being the Co-CEO of[...]

After getting a steady stream of updates on the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker from Cena, series creator James Gunn, and series star Jennifer Holland over the past few weeks, Gunn dropped some surprising production news earlier today – and good news at that Posting an image of the back of Peacemaker's shiny helmet[...]

Just to be clear? We gave everyone a fair warning that if DC Comics PEZ Dispensers continued showing up on the set of writer/director James Gunn's Superman set, we were going to have to cover it to its logical conclusions We're having way too many Rick and Morty/GotG Vol 3 flashbacks to be able to resist[...]

For those of you who don't know what we're talking about, James Gunn was being besieged by tiny Rick and Morty figures during his time filming the Marvel Studios movie – and it went on for a long time before the culprits were revealed Since we're huge fans of the Emmy Award-winning Adult Swim series,[...]

"Big Picture" Presentation at CinemaCon 2024 on Tuesday, Superman writer/director James Gunn made a virtual appearance where he teased that 2025 will bring the "Summer of Superman" – kicking off with Gunn and the cast attending CinemaCon 2025 and ending with the film's premiere in July "I can't wait to be there in Vegas with all[...]

After a long weekend, the start of what could be a busy week, and in the midst of a solar eclipse, now seems about as good of a time as any to share something fun regarding writer/director James Gunn's upcoming Superman feature film Apparently, Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern Guy Gardner) felt the same because it appears[...]

We've been getting a steady stream of updates on the second season of Max's John Cena-starring Peacemaker ever since James Gunn revealed back in November that writing was underway Recently, series star Jennifer Holland dropped the confirmation that filming on the "kinda is/kinda isn't DCU canon" (we'll wait to see how Gunn worked this out)[...]

We kicked things off by having a little fun; then, we had a teachable moment that allowed for some rumor-killing, and now, Superman writer/director James Gunn is following all of that up with a pretty meaty update on how things are going with filming – and we might be able to see something When a[...]

Well, we almost made it one whole day without a bunch of rumors rumbling out there to the point where they caught the attention of Superman writer/director James Gunn Ever since the film was announced, the rumor mill has been working overtime with every possible scenario it can think of – with a whole lot[...]
