When we last checked in on how things were going with Superman, writer/director James Gunn was confirming the two newest additions to the cast of the upcoming David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan-starring feature film Now, we're getting a chance to see some of the team hanging out in Macon after what Gunn shared was a long[...]

After a series of emoji updates that we were taking as positives, DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn confirmed some big news last month concerning Lanterns. Chris Mundy (True Detective: Night Country, Ozark), Damon Lindelof (HBO's Watchmen, LOST), and DC Studios' creative team member Tom King had been tapped to assemble a team of writers for Max's Green[...]

After sharing a look behind the scenes, Superman writer/director James Gunn was back in the business of addressing news reports about the upcoming David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan-starring feature film – but his time, it's good news Gunn confirmed earlier reporting that Saturday Night Live alum Beck Bennett had joined the cast in the role of The[...]

After debunking and addressing rumors and rumblings, Superman & Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn is getting a chance to get back to the fun behind-the-scenes stuff Taking to social media for nothing that has to do with casting leaks or "questionable" plot details whatsoever, Gunn shared a look at some on-the-set hanging-out time he had with Nathan Fillion,[...]

While we're still big on the idea of The Boys star playing the "loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero," both Antony Starr and DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn have shut down the social media rumblings that Starr was set to lead Gunn[...]

It's safe to say that things are getting quite busy in and around DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's New DCU – and that's not including the other projects that may be in some level of development that we haven't heard about yet (and let's not forget what Matt Reeves has going on in[...]

Earlier today, DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn confirmed that Chris Mundy (True Detective: Night Country, Ozark), Damon Lindelof (HBO's Watchmen, LOST), and DC Studios' creative team member Tom King had been tapped to assemble a team of writers for Max's Green Lantern series Lanterns The confirmation came as reports hit social media that Mundy and[...]

While we still don't have official word on Justin Britt-Gibson (Into The Badlands, Banshee), Breannah Gibson (Young Love, Bigger), or Vanessa Baden Kelly (Animal Kingdom, The Sex Lives of College Girls), DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn has confirmed that Chris Mundy (True Detective: Night Country, Ozark), Damon Lindelof (HBO's Watchmen, LOST), and DC Studios' creative[...]

When DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran first rolled out "Chapter 1 – Gods and Monsters," they made it clear that Max's Green Lantern series Lanterns would play a major role in their New DCU Compared to "a huge HBO-quality event" along the lines of "True Detective," the "Green Lantern" series is set[...]

Discovery & DC Studios' Superman, written and directed by DC Studios Co-CEO James Gunn From what we can tell, Gunn has never responded to Schwartz's comments – and Gunn's previous comments about Superman & Lois had been nothing but favorable While we wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, what's odd about it, if it[...]

On the plus side? This gives DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran more time to negotiate with The Boys star Antony Starr's (Homelander) people Last week, an updated Production List had filming on the live-action series take on legendary comic book writer & artist Dan Jurgens's Booster Gold set for Los Angeles, California, on July[...]

But social media is really trying to convince itself that The Boys star Antony Starr (Homelander) is going to be leading the live-action Booster Gold series from DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran Created by legendary comic book writer & artist Dan Jurgens, Mike Carter/Booster Gold was described by Safran as "a loser from[...]

When it comes to DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran's New DCU, Frank Grillo has been having a pretty good month so far Portraying Rick Flag, Sr., Grillo got a chance to clean up some recording work for the upcoming animated series Creature Commandos Then came the big news that Flag, Sr would[...]

Notably, writer Tom King has been James Gunn's comic book go-to guy, reading the new Superman film script and writing the Supergirl movie So what better Superman comic to reference, as well as All-Star Superman, than Superman: Up In The Sky? Image: DC Studios Bleeding Cool already covered how the appearance of All-Star Superman's Solaris, The Sun[...]

Earlier this week, we had two big developments in terms of DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming adaptation of writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos First up, we learned that Frank Grillo's Rick Flag, Sr would be making the jump from the animated screen to live-action during the second[...]

Seen as the DCU's deep dive into comedy, DC Studios Co-CEO Peter Safran described legendary comic book writer & artist Dan Jurgens's Mike Carter/Booster Gold as "a loser from the future who uses basic future technology to come back to today and pretend to be a superhero" when he and Co-CEO James Gunn rolled out[...]

Though DC Studios Co-CEOs James Gunn & Peter Safran's upcoming adaptation of writer J M DeMatteis & artist Pat Broderick's Creature Commandos won't be hitting screens until later this year, attendees of this year's Annecy International Animation Film Festival (June 9-15) will be getting an early look at the animated series and what went into bringing[...]

Earlier this week, Superman & Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn released an official look at David Corenswet's The Man of Steel is his official costume – with spit curl and red trunks But now it's back to work for Gunn – but even when you're working, that doesn't mean that there isn't time for some very[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool looked at how a post by James Gunn about the new Superman movie was driving sales on eBay of DC One Million #1 from 1999, up to $12, featuring the first appearance of Solaris, The Tyrant Sun Well, it has also blown up the sales of the DC One Million Omnibus which[...]

Basically, a copy was selling on eBay around once every couple of weeks. Image: DC Studios Then James Gunn dropped this image The background seemed to show Solaris, The Sun Tyrant, attacking Metropolis, Solaris first appeared in DC One Million #1 by Grant Morrison and Val Semeiks, and then appearing in All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison and[...]

You've been asking for it – and now, here it is. Superman writer/director James Gunn released an official look at David Corenswet's Superman in his official The Man of Steel costume Here's a look at a screencap from Gunn's Threads account displaying the look (yes, we have red trunks) followed by Gunn's Instagram post: Image: Threads Screencap UPDATE: We[...]

Last week, Superman & Peacemaker writer/director James Gunn tackled a concern that some folks had over The Man of Steel's film shoot running "only" 5-6 months – believing that it's too short and leading them to worry that the film will rely heavily on CGI effects as opposed to practical effects Gunn responded by making it[...]

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[...]
