As it turns out, Guardians actors Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), and Michael Rooker (Yondu) 🌜as three of Superman's helper robots that populate his Fortress of Solitude.

"I will ﷽give you something that nobody knows, but Pom Klementieff is one of the robots. It's Bradley [Cooper] and then it's also Pom and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots," Gunn tells .

Gunn also says that he's also been thinking of how to bring in some of his other Gu༒ardians actors, namely Zoe Saldaña and Dave Bautista, with the DC Studios co-CEO stating he's "k༺eeping them in the wings" for potential future appearances.

Cooper, Rooker, and Klementieff are not the only Guardians actors who have made the jump from♔ Gunn's Marvel movies to his Superman reboot. Green Lantern Guy Gardner actor Nathan Fillion had a similar voice cameo in the original Guardians of the Galaxy film as a captive in the same intergalactic prison in which th🅘e Guardians themselves are held in the first act of the movie.

And of course, Gunn's own brother Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in Superman, portrayed Rocket Raccoon's physical motion capture performance as well as🅰 Kraglin, the Ravager turned Guardian who inherits Yondu's spec💝ial arrow.

According to the script is set to be turned in on Monday, though DC co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran reportedly expected it to be done over a year and a half ago. If everything "goes perfectly," the movie will enter into product༒ion in 2026 and make it in🐻 time for its October 1, 2027 release date.

The Batman hit theaters in 2022 and was a massive critical and financial success. Robert Pattinson 🎶stars as Bruce Wayne aka Batman, who links up with Selina Kyle aka Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz), and is tasked with taking down the Riddler (Paul D𝔉ano) as he plans an all-out terrorist attack on Gotham.

The film grossed $772 million against a budget of $200 million, earned three Academy Award 🗹nominations, and was almost immediately greenlit for a sequel.

Some fans were worried that the sequel would be cancelled due to Gunn and Safran's takeover of DC, but The Batman and The Penguin, as well as Mike Fl𝔍ana♒gan's upcoming Clayface movie, will exist in their own seܫpa✱rate universe from the new DCEU.

The Batman 2 is set to hit theaters on October 1, 2027, pushed back from an initially reported October 2025 release date. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows you need to know about.

Tilted 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the eclectic mix of household names – Superman and Batman, for stཧarters – were mixed with left-field picks such as The Authority and👍 Booster Gold.

However, Gunn has recently re📖vealed he's kept his cards close to his chest with one top-secret project – because it could be cop൲ied elsewhere.

"There was one thing that I knew about from the very beginning, that when I pitched to [Warner Bros. Discovery CEO] David Zaslav what the DCU would be, I pitched to him, but we did not announce in that first meeting because I felt like it was too easy to rip off by another c⛎ompany," Gunn told . "And so that's one of the main things."

Gunn also added that his "favorite ⛎thing" has "not been announced at all." Justice League? Kingdom Come? Something out of the or๊dinary like The Human Target? We'll have to wait and see.

Right now, all the focus is on Superman, as David Corenswet steps into the well-worn boots of the Man of Steel alongside Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. The July 11 release will soon be followed by the John Cena-starring 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2 in August.

"There are a couple of people, specifically, who have pretty large followings who just consistently pu🐻t out false stories, just one after the other🍌 after the other, 95 percent of the time," he told .

"Maybe once out of every 20 times, they say something that has some slight or partial basis in reali💝ty. And it gets to be old. I'm not sure, some♍ of those people, that I'm not actually helping them in a certain way by debunking them, because you're giving them traffic, which I always do, but I think they like it. So I mostly quit."

This gossip has ranged from reports Matt Reeves was no longer d💛irecting The Batman 2 to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Green Arrow casting rumors, with Gunn often responding in as few wo♛rds as possible to get his point across ("Yes. Huh?").

"But every once in a while, there's a story that gets out of hand quickly, that has the possibility of hurting someone's feelings," he continued. "For instance, if there's a director we're talking to about a project and all of a sudden it comes out a story that so-and-so other di🎶rector who has nothing to do with anything is doing this project, you want to kill that pretty quickly because it's not true. Same thing with actors or whomever. So if people's feelings are at stake and there's something that's getting out of hand, I'll shut it down."

Next up for Gunn is Superman, the first big-screen outing in the new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. David Corenswet is playing the titu🎉lar hero, alongside Rachel Brosnꦰahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. The cast also includes Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, and Isabela Merced.

Superman arrives in theaters on July 11. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming superhero movies on the way in 2025 and beyond.

Ahead o𓄧f the release of DCU opener Superman, the filmmaker revealed to that he was once pitched a DC Elseworlds "tale" by a "very, very, very famous movie actor" – and that he candidly told the star that it'd "depend on how the screenplay comes out" as to whether he and co-CEO Peter Safran would greenlight it.

"There's definitely room for people to tell other stories...And when it's somebody who's important, like Matt Reeves — who I've had an admiration for a long time as one of the very, very few filmmakers who is out there making spectacle, commercia🗹l [fare], that is also an artist — then you have to stand up and listen," Gunn explained. "The script still needs to be good. We're not going to make it unless we like the script. But I think t𒁏hat there are exceptions.

"I told it to one person who came in and pitched something that was an Elseworlds tale. It was a very, very, very famous movie actor. I said, 'It depends on how the screenplay comes out...If it's a masterpiece, I'll make it, but it has to be 𒁃a masterpiece.' And he is like, "I don't know if it's a masterpiece." He got all funny. He's still working on it, though. He is still trying to do it, so we'l📖l see. Masterpiece might be pushing it, but it's got to be really great."

Naturally, DC fans took to Twitter mere minutes after the interview's publication to start speculating on who the mystery actor might be. Many proposed that it could have been 💜John Wick star Keanu Reeves, perhaps with the idea that his version of John Constan🅠tine could get involved with the likes of Batman, Superman, and co.

Some seem convinced it's Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, looking to find a way to reprise his role as Black Adam. Other names thrown out include Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, and... LeBron James, since the basketball player-turned-Space Jam actor has publicly expres🀅sed interest in appearing in more movies.

A few pointed to the fact that Sinners' Michael B. Jordan announced back in 2021 that he was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:developing a Black Superman series about ꦯVal-Zod for HBO Max. While he's yet to pen his own script, Jordan is no stranger to working behind the camera, having made his directorial debut with Creed 3 in 2ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ023.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Back in January, some eyebrows were raised 𝐆after a TV spot featured David Corenswet's DC hero flying around a wintry landscape close to the Fortress of Solitude. Instead of looking like the finished product, commenters noted that it seemed ﷽to be down to bad CGI or special effects.

"There is absolutely zero CG in his face," Gunn wrote on not long after the clip's mini-backlash. "People’s faces can look different when 💫you put a wide angle lens♓ up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real as is David."

Now, though, G🀅unn has offered mo🍎re of a mea culpa-of-sorts in a new interview with .

"It was a TV commercial and it wasn't a finished visual effects shot. So the part of him flying, it w🍷as a photograph of his face and him flying. It was a photograph of a drone flying in front of an actual background. So all the pieces were real, but it was incorporated in kind of a funky way," Gunn explained.

The Superman director added, "I didn't love the shot, so it's not ev💝en the shot that's in the movie. Sometimes I'm pretty strict about when I'm going through a trailer and looking at each of the shots, but sometimes the commercials, I forget to l♔ook at this closely. So that one kind of got by me."

Superman, starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult, kicks off the live-action DCU under the stewardship of DC Studios' James Gunn and Peter Safran. Other projects in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One include Lanterns and the upcomin🐻g Clayface movie.

"My son, his new 🌠guy that he loves is Batman," Clooney told . "I said to him, 'I was Batman,' and he ꦿwas like, 'not really,' and I was like, 'you have no idea how right you are."

Clooney played Batman in Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin, which was part of the 1990s dark-camp Batman film series that began with Tim Burton's Batman, followed by Burton's Batman Returns. Both films starred Michael Keaton as Batman, 𝔉with Val Kilmer taking over for Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever and Clooney taking over for Batman and Robin – which, due to low box officeﷺ numbers and poor reviews, became the last installment in that particular franchise.

It's not hard to see why today's kiddos wouldn't be super convinced by Clooney's campy portrayal of the Dark Knight – but some of us millennials and Gen Xers arﷺe able to appreciate and enjoy the𒐪 absurdity (I mean, Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze!) of what feels like the most '90s superhero movie ever made.

Clooney reprised his Bruce Wayne in the final moments of The Flash, which also saw Keaton return as Batman. Though it was meant to be a multiverse event of sorts, the film was doomed by controversy surrounding its releas🌠e and was a box-office bomb as a result. While it was good to see Keaton back in the suit, we may never see Clooney don his again (which personally makes me pretty sad given that we'll also probably never see a costume of that campy caliber again).

Batman and Robin is streaming now on Hulu. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows you need to know about.

Replying to a user on who asked "How much of Mike's story ꦯare you planning to keep?" Gunn replied, "Huh? It's all Mike's story. That's WHY we're making this movie, because we loved it. Any changes as the shooting script is finalized are minor. I'm a Flanafan myself."

Previously, repo✃rted that Drive screenwriter Hossein Amini would be rewriting Clayface, rep🔯lacing Flanagan's original draft.

Despite not being announced as part of the initial 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One release slate, the Clayface movie 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sprung into life at the tail end of 2024.

Since then, there hadn't been too much traction on the James Watkins-directed project – until the 澳ﷺ洲幸运5开奖号𓆉码历史查询:very recent casting of Tom Rhys Harries.

"After a long and incredibly exhaustive search, we finally have our DCU Clayface in Tom Rhys Harries," Gunn wrote on social media in response to the casting. "Both Matt Reeves and I were just 🍒blown away by this guy, and can't wait for you to see this film."

Before then, Superman is set to soar into cinemas in July, kicking off the live-action poꦕrtion of DC Studios' rebooted DC universe.

Based on the Batman villain who is able to manipulate his look via clay-based powers, Clayface is set to release in cinemas on Sep𒁏tember 11, 2026.

"I was in an Aritzia bathroom in SoHo looking at my phone and it said: 'Maybe: James Gunn'," Brosnahan says jokingly in ✃a conversation with actor Amanda Seyfried for . "Maybe James Gunn is calling me. I'm trying to get out of there before he realize🧔s that I'm in a bathroom, but I'm not about to miss this call. I answered and he said, 'How would you like to be Lois Lane?'"

It's a charmingly human anecdote in an interview full of those ki♛nd of moments, and one that speaks to exactly why Gunn cast Brosnahan as Lois Lane, who often serves as Superman's brashly outspoken and fearlessly authentic connection to humanity.

That seems to be the same role Lois will occupy in the new Superman film, with trailers showing her unafraid to challenge Superman on his actions during an interview. For Brosnahan's part, she agrees with the assessment that Superman is s🐈omething of an "everyman" hero, though she🐈 sees his place on Earth as more complicated than that.

"Totally. But he’s also an outsider," Brosnahan explains. "He loves people, but he’s an alien. He’s trying to fit in and walk among people and wants to be like them, but he also knows that🀅 he’ll never be quite like them, and that can be isolating. I feel like that’s part of why so many people see themselves in 𒅌him."

"After a long and incredibly exhaustive search, we finally have our DCU Clayface in Tom Rhys Harries," Gunn says on . "Both Matt Reeves and I were just blown away by this guy, and can't wait for you to see this film, directed by James Watkins and wr꧙itten by Mike Flanagan."

Clayface initially joined the DC Universe slate thanks to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:strength of Flanagan's script, which fast-tracked the film into development. A version of Clayface appeare🔴d in the Creature Commandos animated show, where he wa🎃s voiced in grunts and roars by Alan Tudyk, though it's actually unclear whether the version of Clayface in the live-action film will be the same character in the show.

As it happens, there are actually 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:numerous vﷺersions of Clayface in comics. The most famous is Matt Hagen, the second Clayface and the first to possess shape🐬shifting clay powers, thanks to his involvement in Batman: The Animated Series. The other most famous is Basil Karlo, the original Clayface, who started out as an actor driven to commit murder while in disguise before gaining clay powers of his own.

It's been rumored that a version of the Basil Karlo Clayface will be the villain of the long (long, long) awaited The Batman 2, with the 💦Penguin streaming series introducing characters with con𒐪nections to Karlo.

That said, none of that will have much bearing on how the DCU Clayface goes down, as it will take place in the core DC Universe movie continuity, while The Batman exists separately in༺ its own world.

Clayface is set to be released on September 11, 2026, as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. For more, see our guide on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:how to watch DC movies in order, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

During a new interview with , Gunn was asked about how it felt to work on Superman with the entire future of DC movies💯 on his shoulders. "Really, I just go, 'That's their business.' Because that's not the truth for me. My truth is this is the first movie out of DC Studios," he started.

"Other people may say, 'It's gotta be a home run, nothing else.' I'm like, 'No, I'd be very happy with a double." F*****g Iron Man wasn't the be-all and end-all. It wasn't Avatar. We are doing something that's a piece of the puzzle. It's not the puzzle itself. We have Peacemaker, we have Supergirl, and what we want to do is make a movie that ඣpeople ⛎love, they feel connected to the characters. It's just this one movie. It's not everything," Gunn continued, admitting he feels frustrated by people not being able to see the bigger picture of the franchise plans.

"I hate it when there's a f*****g article and it's going on about all the problems and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and 'that means even more pressure on James Gunn and Superman.' I’m like, 'Guys, I'm not responsible for a🅠ll that. I'm responsible for my piece of the pie. I've gotta make m🍨y budget back. I'll be very happy with that,'" he said.

We'll have to wait and see how the upcoming DC movie works at the box office, particularly considering the two titanic blockbusters also releasing in July – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jurassic World Rebirth, and Marvel's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four: The First Steps.

"We just killed a project," he told . "Everybody wanted to make the movie. It was greenlit, ready to go. The screenplay wasn't ready. And I couldn't do 🦩a movie where🧸 the screenplay's not good. And we've been really lucky so far, because Supergirl's script was so fucking good off the bat. And then Lanterns came in, and the script was so fucking good. Clayface, same thing. So fucking good. So we have these scripts that we've been really lucky with or wise in our choices or whatever the combination is."

Next up for the DCU is Superman, which stars David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel. Rachel Brosnahan is Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult is Lex Luthor. The next film after that is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl, recently retitled from Super♔♈man: Woman of Tomorrow.

As for Clayface, Mike Flanagan penned the original script, which is reportedly being rewritten by Dr🎃ive scribe Hossein Amini. "I'm not directing it, and that filmmaker will need to make it their own," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Flanagan has said. "I know that they're doiꦉng work on the script. I'm off doing other things now, I really hope it remains true to the spirit of what I wanted it to be. But it's not my movie, so I'll be in the audience with you, anxious to see how it comes out."

In a recent interview with , Gunn was asked about the aftermath of his🐬 controversial Marvel firing due to some old tweets, which he once said offered him𒅌 the "experience of feeling truly loved" for the first time, as many friend💫s reached out to him for support.

"There's no doub🌳t that without that experience, I don't think that I would've written the Superman that I wrote. I definitely wouldn't be doing this job if I didn't get fired, but I don't know if I'd be doing this🎉 job even if it wasn't for that. I just don't think that a character that pure would've quite appealed to me," Gunn explained.

"I d༺on’t think that opened the door to me writing the pure Superman," he continued. "That opened the door for me to stop creating so that people would like me. That's downplaying it – so people would love me. I think on some level, everything I had done came from a pleasing place."

DC originally asked James Gunn to direct🐈 Super🦹man 7 years ago, but he said he wasn't ready at that time. "I needed the right way in," he ⛄explained in the interview.

"And that required time to think through a few thousand options before I got to the way that I thought worked. But I do also think that my life, and career, has been a gradual softening of the edges. I still like black comedy. I still have edges. But I used🅺 to like provoking a lot. And today, although I still seem to do it, I don't really like doing that. In my heart, I'm pretty sentimental. I just believe in basic human values. I think Guardians of the Galaxy was a good starter kit for that."

Shortly after firing him, Marvel reinstated Gunn as the writer and director of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which turned out to be the most emotional of th🦩e trilogy, and marked his las🐽t Marvel movie before moving on to DC. Gunn looked back at how all those events and his work with the Guardians paved the way for Superman.

"They [Guardians] have a lot of heart, but they do have their own weirdness and oddities and edginess, and Superman isn't that, even though he does from the outside have a lot of oddness. A flying dog in a cape is odd. Giant walking robots, and kaijus – that's all odd. But the very-good nature of him, this really strong belief in what's right, sometimes perhaps to a fault, is what makes Superꦑman who he is.

"And that is not Star-Lord or Rocket. That's not a guy who's angry or covering up his emotions. He's pretty pure. And so getting to the place where I could write that character was a journey. In the past I would've done it through making fun of the character, and I don’t think that's what I do here. I'm less afraid now than I used to be. I allow myself to be purely creative more than I used to. And I thought I was being purely creative, but a lot of times it was just anger releasing itself in another way. I'm less afraid of being goofy or sentimental, or boring 💮or straight."

"It would be a consideration. We’d have to think about it. We’d have to think about it. It is not like we’ve never discussed it," Gunn told when asked if he would consider making Robert Pattinson the DCU's Batman, since they've yet to cast one. The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves🎶, currently exists alongside The Penguin in its own universe, separate from Creature Commandos, Peacemaker, the upcoming Superman movie, etc.

"I would never say zero, because you just never know. But it’s not likely. It’s not likely at all. I’ll also say Batman Part 2 is not canceled," Gunn continued. "That’s the other thing I hear all the time – that Batman Part 2 is canceled. It’s not canceled. We don’t have a script. Matt’s slow. Let him ta🍷ke his time. Let him do what he’s doing. God, people are mean. Let him do his thing, man."

It's been three years since The Batman was released, and there have been no updates since the sequel was announced in April 2022. The lack of updates, plus Gunn's focus on the main DC universe, has led some fans to believe that the movie wouldn't be going forward. The Penguin, a spinoff of The Batman that saw Colin Farrell reprise his role as the ruthless crime boss, hit HBO Max in 2024 and was lauded with praise and accolades. Not to mention the finale connects b🐻ack to The Batman in a way that feels like a setup for The Batman ꧟2 (but we won't spoil that for you).

Batman: The🃏 Brave and the Bolꦺd was announced in 2023 as part of Gunn and Peter Safran's slate of new DCU projects, but, as mentioned above, no actor has been cast yet. In my opinion, it wouldn't make much sense for the gritty world of The Batman to mix with the colorful, zanier world that Gunn has created thus far. Reeves' Batman, while echoing the dark superhero films of the 1990s, is a bit more in align with that of the Zack Snyder films. Interestingly, however, Gunn, says he's "not interested in a funny, campy Batman."

🐻Added Gunn: "Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally. And it’s not — I’m not writing Batman, but I am working with the writer o🍌f Batman and trying to get it right, because he’s incredibly important to DC, as is Wonder Woman. So outside of the stuff that I’m doing in the projects that are actively going, our two priorities are finishing our Wonder Woman and our Batman scripts."

"I think it’s just called Supergirl," Gunn told when asked about the film's title, as well as dropping the 'Legacy' from Superman. "I’m always cutting. 'Legacy' was really – we do something called a premortem. A premortem is you get together with your grou﷽p that’s doing the project. It’s usually about a couple months before shooting, and you go, hypothetically, 'If it’s an epic disaster, what are the things that we’re doing today that are 💧going to cause it to be an epic disaster? Everyone here can speak freely.'"

"One of the things I brought up was, it was called Superman: Legacy. Even though I was the one that gave it that title, I just wasn’t sure. First of all, I’m 🤪sick o♐f the superhero title, colon, other-name thing. And then also it seemed to be looking back when we’re looking forward, even though it does have to do with legacy in the movie itself. And everybody was like, 'Oh, yeah, no, change it.'"

Supergirl is based on the first issue of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – hence the original decision to name it after the comic. Per the official synopsis, while celebrating her 21st birthday, Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) travels across the galaxy with Krypto the Superdog, during which she meets the young Ruthye (Eve Ridley) and goes on a "murderous quest for revenge." The name change also makes sense given that leaked set footage seems to imply that Kara will be sp𒐪ending significant time on Earth, when Kara only spends time on other various planets in the galaxy in the comics, suggesting that the film is taking the Wo♏man of Tomorrow storyline in a 𒀰slightly different direction. Craig Gillespie directs from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

Superman, written and directed by Gunn, stars David Corenswet as a younger Clark Kent, who, from the trailers, seems to be grappling with public opinion about his true motives for saving the world – all while a one Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) stands by and makes things significantly worse. 澳洲幸运5🎶开奖号码历史查询:A Wonder Woman movie is also being written, and we can assume that one will just be called 'Wonder Woman,ꦛ' no colon needed.

James Gunn, now heading up DC Studios alongside co-CEO Peter Safran, has sympathy for Marvel Studios' bloated universe, which includes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:nine separate movies and shows being released in 2025 alone.

"I don’t even know if it’s really🍸 their fault," Gunn said to of the situation, while revealing that one Marvel executive said "privately" that they – in the interviewer's words – 'put out too much stuff.'

When pressed about a possible direction from up-high at Disney, Gunn offered, "That wasn’t f𝕴air. It wasn’t right. And it killed them."

Speaking to last year, Marvel's head of streaming Brad Winderbaum confirmed there was a mandate to "create as much as we could for Di🌠sney Plus as quickly as we cou𒆙ld."

Seeming🏅ly, that's not a mistake – or a mandate – Gunn 𝕴cares to repeat.

The Superman director said, "We don’t have the mandate to have a certain amount of movies and TV shows ಞevery year. So we’re going to put out everything that we think is of the highest quality. We’re obviously going to do some good things and some not-so-good things, but hopefully on average everything will be as high-quality as possible." Gunn added, "Nothing goes before there’s a screenplay that I personally am happy with."

Marvel is now course correcting on its content overload, with Disney CEO Bob Iger's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:recent comments on quality over quantity being a surefire indicator that Marvel Studios is focusing on the cinematic experience – with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four next up in July.

Over at DC, July's Superman will soon be followed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2, though we'll have to wait until Supergirl next year for a return to theat♕ers.

It was here that a fan proposed one special get-out-of-jail-free rule in the DC Universe, that could bring characters back from the brink – the Lazarus Pit. Introd𒀰uced in the Batman comics in 1972, the Lazarus Pit is a supernatural pool that Ra's Al Ghul often uses to bring people back from the dead. Batman, Wonder Woman, and even The Joker are among the few that have used the pits when in pretty bad condition. Factoring this in, Gunn did hint that he'd consider some of his characters taking a dip, but only if it was relative to the story being told.

"Well, I wouldn't mind using the L🌠azarus Pit (and/or resurrection) in a story," . "But it would have to be part of the story itself. I won't be killing major characters just to pop them in the ol𒐪d Lazarus Pit to be alive again. What backfires more is people believing there are no stakes, and death doesn't mean anything. Dead is dead."

While it's interesting that Gunn is open to including this bit of comic book lore in his world, it's also one that's only just started spinning. Even mentioning the pits now would be wild given that we don't even have a Batman in place to dive into them yet. For now, we'll have to see who makes it out alive when Superman makes his debut in theaters on July 11. Y🐎ou can also look out for every other story comin𒆙g to the DCU here.

Speak🐓ing to , Image ಌComics co-creator and McFarlane Toys founder Todd McFarlane revealed how The Rock's feedback was implemented.

"Recently, we had to ge🔥t approval on Black Adam, and Dwayne Johnson's only comment was,💖 which I think he was right, was, 'Can you make me more ripped?'" McFarlane said.

"It actually seems like a silly one, but it actually was right, because I think we all in our mind have a romantic version of many people, and the costume itself wasn't showing off his muscles. We were super accurate to the costume, it's just 𓆏that the costume wasn't showing it off, so he just wanted us to show it off a bit more. We took a little bit of artistic licen🐓se to do it. I think it was the right move."

McFar꧃lane added, "𒉰Let me tell you that even if I disagree, the client is always right. I'm looking for an approval."

Black Adam finally arrived in cinemas in 2022, despite the lo🐎ng-gestating projec🦂t being in the works since 2007.

The standalone DC feature, which saw Johnson's Kahndaq protector butt heads with the Justice Society and criminal organization Intergang. The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Adam post-credits scene even saw Henry Cavill's Superman arrive on the scene, with a teased crossover 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:quickly scuppered as James Gunn's rebo🐼oted DCU was launched jus𓃲t months later.

The Rock, meanwhile, is branching out in his acting career in the coming months. He's set to portray UFC fighter Mark Kerr in A24's The Smashing Movie, while he's also 澳洲ꦓ幸运5开奖号码历史查询:appearing in a newꦆ Hawaii-set crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese.

"What Matt🃏 [Reeves]'s doing is still really important, despite all stories to the contrary," Gunn said in a recent interview with . "We're supposed to see that script shortly, and I can't wait."

The Batman 2 was first announced at CinemaCon in 2022 and has since been d🍒elayed twice, pushing the release date back from October 2025 to October 2026 and, most recently, to October 2027.

Robert Pattinson is confirmed to reprise his role as the Caped Crusader and Andy Serkis and Jeffrey Wright are expected to return as Alfred Pennyworth and Jim Gordo♈n, while Reeves is back in the director's chair.

The Batman and its sequels and spin-offs are part of DC Elseworlds, which is separate from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One. T🌞he DCU has its own Batman project in the works, though, titled The Brave and the Bold, but that seems even further from arriving on our screens.

"We are writer-driven. We are not going to greenlight or put anything into production until we are happy with the script," Gunn said o🐭f the Batman and Robin movie back in February. "It is hard enough making a good movไie with a good script, it’s almost impossible to make a movie with a script that you’re writing on th𒐪e run."

The Batman 2 is set to arrive in theaters on October 1, 2027. While we wait, check out our guide to all the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming superhero movies on the way.

He's set to play Misꦓter Terr🌊ific in James Gunn's upcoming take on the Man of Steel, but over a decade ago he starred in 2011's X-Men: First Class. Gathegi played Darwin, a mutant capable of "reactive evolution," which enables him to evolve and adapt to any environment, but he didn't last very long in the franchise after Darwin met an untimely, not-comic-book-accurate end.

"I think it is just a case of bad representation and missed opportunity. There was a lot that they could have done with that character,🅠 probably should have done with the character," Gathegi told .

"I was waiting toꦕ be brought back [after First Class] because, as you know, the character doesn't die," he continued. "The fact that he died in the first one isn't that big of a deal if he does what he does in the comics, which is come back. Every movie that came out and the character didn't come back, it solidified that it was a misrepresentation and a missed opportunity."

However, Gathegi thinks that playing Mis🃏ter Terrific 🧸in Superman "is kind of undoing the wrongs of Darwin. I know that as it stands right now, this isn't the only project that I'll be in."

Only time will tell what those future projects may be, but Gunn recently said that he's working on a Superman follow-up movie – although 澳洲幸运5ܫ开奖号码历史查询:it's not necessꦬarily a "straight-up sequel."

Gathegi stars alongside David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult in Superman, which is the first big-screen installment in Gunn's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Yes, Superman's best friend is the focal ꦓpoint of cine🍷ma's seemingly never-ending obsession with popcorn.

was one of the first chains toꦆ unveil its Superman offerings, presenting a look at Krypto holding a traditional 'bag' of popcorn. There's even a literal dog bowl for your snacks, should that be of interest, as well as more traditional fare. Our favorite? The drinks holder shaped like Superman's Fortress of Solitude.

also brought the goods, with the perfectly-named pupcorn bucket, complete with a baby Krypto. , meanwhile, is even throwing in a collectible comic book fo𒁏r good measure as a freebie and their own Daily Planet-themed popcorn bucket shaped as a newspaper box.

Even with Superman's soaring selection of snack vessels, it surely won't beat Fantastic Four's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Galactus-themed popcorn bucket – which is currently priced at $79.95. No, that's not a typo. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Jurassic World Rebirth is even joining in on the fun with its own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历💮史查询:surprisingly restrained popco🐟rn bucket.

Superman, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel alongside Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, will form part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC൲U.

Titled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One, future projects include 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2, HBO's Lanterns series, and a Clayface movie.

According to Corenswet in a new interview with , it's part of Superman's strategy to "undermine how powerful he really is," while Gunn adds that it's to help avoid the perception that he's a "terrifying monster" because of his incredible and sometimes quiteဣ intimidating powers.

Gunn says that he went back and forth on whether or not to have Superman🌃 wear his red trunks in the film, even consulting Man of Steel and Justice League director Zack Snyder on whether he'd wear them in his film. But ultimately, it was Corenswet who convinced Gunn to keep them, pointing out that their inherent silliness might be part of the poinꦬt.

"My thing was, maybe they're supposed to look a little silly. Maybe the reason he wears them is to look a litt💫le silly. Basically to undermine how𒉰 powerful he really is," Corenswet says.

"In this version of the DCU, everyone knows he's an alien," Gunn elaborates. "He shoots beams out oℱf his eyes, he can blow things down with his breath, he's sort of this terrifying creature. And David saying that was like… But he really likes kids, and human beings, and people. He wants kids not to be afraid of him. And so that was the thing that made me decide to keep th𓆏e trunks."

In the last few weeks ahead of the release of Superman, we've been seeing a lot more of his extreme power levels, including in an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:action packed new trailer that has Superman going off with heat vision, lifting a skyscraper, and flyi♌ng into deep space.

James Gunn's Superman hits theaters on July 11. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

Here's the trailer:

🙈As you can see, there are some new moments in there showing off Superman's incredible strength, including a close up as he knocks the teeth out of one of Luthor's troops, flying int🐽o a truly cosmic landscape with the alien Baby Joey in tow, and more.

It's also worth noting that it looks like Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern Guy Gardner is at odds with Superman, perhaps playing intoღ scenes in earlier trailers of Metamorpho generating Kryptonite to weaken him.

This makes it seem like Superman will be at odds with the rest of the Justice League, at least for part of the film, though the newest trailer also shows him working closely with Mister Terrific, and even shows Lois Lane flyinཧg his T-Craft.

One thing seems sure - Superman has a lot 🤡of ground to cover in its just over two hour runtime, and t✃he trailers are apparently showing us just a few tidbits of what we can expect from the film's high-flying action.

"What I'm working on▨ is in some way…I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes," Gunn said in a new interview with when asked if a sequel was in the works. "But is it a straight-up Superman sequel? I would not say necessarily."

Intriguing. A follow-up movie that's not a cut and dry sequel coulꦆd imply a crossover with other characters – maybe one (or more) of the Mဣan of Steel's Justice League counterparts? Gunn dismissed that theory pretty swiftly, telling EW, "There is no Justice League in this world… not yet."

B🔯ut back to Superman. David Corenswet is taking on the titular role in Gunn's new take on Clark Kent, alongside a cast that includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois 🔯Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen.

As for what else is next in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock, is currently in the works and set to hit the big screen next June, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clayface 🅠i🧔s heading to the big screen next year, too. Gunn also recently revealed that he's working on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a new Wonder Woman movie, but that doesn't have a release date yet.

Among superhero fans, these are more debates than questions with solid answers. And with trailers for director James Gunn's Superman showing a version of the chara𒅌cter who ౠis susceptible to a certain level of pain and injury, the debate is raging again.

Gunn's S🎉uperman is shown dealing with serious bodily injuries – not the more metaphysical kind inflicted by the power of Kryptonite – and ev💖en undergoing🔯 painful medical treatments by his attendant robots.

For some, that's a bridge too far in terms of Superman's vulnerabili﷽ty. Coupled with very few feats of super strengtꦯh shown in the trailers, it's got a certain group of vocal Superman fans up in arms with their perceived understanding of how powerful James Gunn's Man of Steel will actually be in the movie.

But for me, a lifelong fan of Superman and a reader of comics from across his nearly 90 year li🌠fespan, the show of vulnerability feels more like an attempt to grapple with Superman's shifting power levels on screen, and a way to lull fans into under-preparedness for what I am hoping will be some truly cosmic spectacle.

For one thing, I'm personally not expecting DC Studios to show us the coolest stuff in the trailers. We've barely seen Superman in action, aside from a scant few clips fighting Ultraman and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hammer of Boravia.

We don't actually even know how the injuries seen in the trailer were caused. For all we know right now, he actually is weakened by Kryptonite when he's hurt i✱n the film, a condition under which Superman can canonically be gravely injured.

All of that speculation aside, Superman's power levels have varied wildly throughout his history, and even from creator to creator. There is a relatively consistent bas🌟eline to Superman's strength in the modern era, but each portrayal of the Man of Steel across meꦓdia has its own interpretation of what he can do.

The history of Superman's powers

Following Superman's original debut in 1938's Action Comics #1, his powers were described as being "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound", and a𒅌ble to withstand any attack short of an exploding shell.

For a few years, those were essentially the limits of Superman's powers. He didn't fly until 1940's Adventures of Superman radio show, which int⛦roduced numerous aspects of the character's mythos, including Kryptonite.

From there, Superman's powers ballooned through the rest of the Golden Age of the '40s and early '50s, through the Silver Age of the '60s and early ಞ'70s. His classic powers were all established, including X-Ray and microscopic vision, super freeze-breath, heat vision, full on flight, speed beyond the capability of even the fastest craft, and of course, cosmic level super strength powerful enough to move planets, and nigh-invulnerability which can traditionally only be countered by kryptonite, magic, or sometimes, someone even stronger than him, like the villain Doomsday who actually managed to kill Superman in the early '90s.

He also accrued dozens of strange minor powers that were used only a few times before fading into obscurity, including things like hi🎶s amnesiac super-kiss and being able to reverse time by flying backwards around the Earth which were later adapted into 1978's bel♐oved Superman movie and its sequels.

It wasn't until 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths, which rebooted most of DC's comic continuity, that Superman's modern power levels wer🔜e essentially established - massive su💮per strength, nigh-invulnerability, super-senses, x-ray and heat vision, freeze breath, super speed, and flight.

Heroes of myth

Though there's a generally agreed upon range of Superman's abilities, ꦬthe true answer to how powerful he is will prove remarkably frustrating to a certain strain of tire-kicking fans, especially since DC declared that all of Superman's comic book history, across all the reboots, relaunches, and changes in his powers, are canonical whether that fully makes sense or not.

Because the truth is, Superman's power levels, like thos𝄹e of all fictional character🎃s, are entirely malleable at all times based on the situation he's in, the story being told, and the people telling it.

Superhero comics🧔 have often been compared to modern myths, and more than just about any other superhero continuity, the DC Universe lives up to that idea, both in the godlike feats undertaken by its undeniably powerful heroes, and in the fluid, ever-shifting nature of their personalitie𝕴s and abilities.

Superman, like the quintessential Greek hero Heracles (or Hercules, if you're into that sort of thing) is less a quantifiable Ivan Drago strongman, whose highest output punches are duly recorded to history, than he is a being of storied myth whose capabilities are🦋 determined by what makes for the best spinning of the yarn, and whose feats and adventures have evolved across countless tellings of their tal✤es.

I don't bring up Heracles in particular for nothing. Superman writer/director James Gunn has cited Grant Morrison and Frank Q🦂uitely's fabl꧙ed All-Star Superman as a major inspiration on his film - a comic which itself takes not insignificant inspiration from the classic concept of the 12 labors of Heracles, with Superman promising to complete a series of w༒ondrous tasks before he dies due t♋o toxic over-exposure to Earth's yellow sun, the source of fuel for his Kryptonian powers.

It's another turn of the cycle of myth, as the core idea of a man whose strength beyond strength is directly eq꧑uitable to the parable on which it rests echoes directly into Gunn's telling of Superman's story.

Superman's official power levels

While I'm personally very much in the "wait-and-see, it's all ♔just a story" camp in terms of how Superman's vaunted strength will be portrayed in Gunn's film, I also understand the impulse to dig into the debate around exactly what Supes can do.

I grew up going to comic stores, lurking in the racks of new and old issues, in heated conversation with my fellow fans about whether Superman ꦐor the Hulk is stronger, which heroes might be able to lift T🌳hor's hammer, and so on.

That's part of the magic of superhero fandom, the characters and their st꧙ories engender these conversations and creative ideas among fans. We're invited directl♌y into the world of the Marvel and DC Universes in a way other fiction rarely offers.`

But there's a special aspect to that magic that can be lost in the conversation around how strong Superman actually is, which is that every fan gets to see it for thems🙈elf and imagine their own delineation of a character's limits. There are guides along the way, important and memorable scenes from our favorite stories that stick in our mind as examples of just what our most 🎃beloved heroes can do.

It's that individualized perception that has kept superhero comics fresh across changing creative perspectives, which w๊ill hopefully allow James Gunn to craft a compelling portrayal of the world'🎶s greatest superhero, and which enables the debate in the first place.

And anyway, we haven't even seen the movie yet.

James Gunn's Superman hits theaters on July 11. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

During an interview with , G🌃unn mentioned that in the DCU, superheroes are more akin to musicians and celebrities than figures obsessed with keeping their work hus🔥h-hush.

"If you saw a shark-man walking down🐼 the 🔥street, you'd probably vomit and shit yourself to death," Gunn says. "If [people in the DCU] saw one, it would be more like if you saw Paul McCartney on the sidewalk in New York."

Ironically, a couple of DC's heaviest hitters – Superman and Batman – are lumbered with secret identities, but they will only be the 🐼latest in a long, long line of heroes and villains by the timꦫe they arrive in the MCU.

By contrast, the MCU largely kept the idea of superheroes away from𝓰 the public consciousness. Eternals had been roaming the planet fo🌳r millennia, but the concept of a 'superhero' didn't arrive in that universe until Captain America surged onto the scene during World War Two.

All told, it's a fascinating world for the🌌 likes of Superman to enter. The planet may be jaded or used to the idea of heroes, especially if they've become a tool for capitalists like Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific have with Maxwell Lord in the upcoming July release.

Superman, meanwhile, is set to kick off the live-action portion of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One. Gunn, who is co-CEO of DC Studios alongside his writer-director duties on Superman, also confirmed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历✅史查询:a Wonder Woman movie is now in the works.

For more, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies flying into cinemas very soon.

"We're working on Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman's being written right now," Gunn tells , while clarifying that "Wonder Woman is a separate thing" from the currently in-development 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Paradise Lost streaming series about the history of the Amazon islಞand of Themiscyra.

Gunn also confirmed to EW that no one has yet been cast as Wonder Woman, indicating that previous WW actor Gal Gadot is well and truly out. That's not a huge surprise, given that Patty Jenkins, director of the first two Wonder Woman films, previously confirmed that she's not moving forward with Wonder Woman 3.

Gunn has been the leading creative voice in building the new DCU, having announced a whole slate of projects under the banner 'Gods and Monsters,' though many of the projects initially named f💟or the slate have shifted in the time since.

Now, Gunn is reiterating comments made by Warner Bros. CEO⭕ David Zaslav indicating that the four main pillars of the new DC Universe will be Superman, Batman, Supergirl, an♑d Wonder Woman.

"I think that's accurate, actually," Gunn confirms. "I think that he got that from something I said. I wouldn't say only those four characters, but I would say that those four ജcharacters are incredibly important to us. Right now, I feel great about where two of those characters are, and then we're dealing with the otౠher two."

Indeed, Gunn's Superman film is just weeks away from release, with Supergirl currently in production for 2026. Of all four characters, Batman seems to be the most 🌱embattled thanks to the uncertain status of The Batman 2, which exists outside the DCU, and a noticeable lack of updates on any kind of project tied to the new continu🐎ity.

"Our last visual effect shot has been finished and dropped into #Superman. We are now 100% done. Thanks to all my collaborators! It has been a joy. And for the rest of you - I can’t wait for you to see the movie July 11," Gunn wrote on Twitter, accompanied by a shot of the director front and centre of a behind-the-sc�♈�enes image on the Daily Planet set alongside the likes of Superman actor David Corenswet, Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan, and Jimmy Olsen actor Skyler Gisondo.

Superman is set to fully kick off DC Studios' grand plans for a new cinematic universe following the demise of the DCEU. Led by Gunn and fellow co-CEO Peter Safran, the first 'phase' is titled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Alongside Superman is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2 in August, 💮followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in 2026. Lanterns is currently filming, while a Clayface movie is also i𒈔n the works.

During an interview on the , Warner Bros. chiefs Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca revealed that 澳洲幸运5♌开奖号码历史查询:they had seen an early cut of Superman and that Gunn "really understood the🌳 assignment."

Whether audiences will have the same reaction remains to be seen, though getting locked in over a mont🌞h prior to release suggests it's got a fair chance of soaring on the big screen.

Recent cinema꧋ listings had Superman down at 129 minutes, with Gunn re🌌plying to a fan on to say that was correct "inclusive of credits/post credits."

When a commenter replied, "Any truth that [Warner Bros] forced y🎃ou to make it shorter?", Gunn wrote: "Zero truth to that. And they couldn't even if that's something that they wanted to. It's a DC Studios film."

Starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel alongside Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Superman marks the first live-action project of DC Studios' nascent 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

Other confirmed projects for the first wave of DC's new universe include the Aaron Pierre-st🐻arring Lanterns, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a Clayf💧ace movie, and a new Batman project separate from Robert Pattinson and Matt Reeves' own Bat-Verse.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2, meanwhile, follows immediately on from Superman's story this August, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a recent trailer hinting at some multiversal shenanigans – and could clue us in on how the DCU connects to the old DCEU. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:According to Gunn, there's even a "r🍌eally, really, really big cameo" for fans to look forward to.

Superman joins a packed schedule in July, which includes Jurassic World Rebirth and a duel with Marvel as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fantastic Four takes its First Steps into the MCU.

Per , Warner Bros. Pictures chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy briefly tried to get a "standalone Henry Cavill-led Superman film going in 2022, with Michael Bay eyed to possibly direct." [UPDATE: A spokesperson for Warner Bros. denies this claim]. This was before James Gunn and Peter Safran were named🥃 as the two new co-heads of DC Studios.

It's worth noting that this report lends some credence to a 2022 story that claimed Warner Bros. was doing a compleꦏte overhaul that involved bringing classic DC heroes back and taking Superman into a different, lighter direction. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ben Affleck recently commented that movies like Justice League and Batman V Supe🍰rman were far from kid-friendly.

It was announced in 2022 that Henry Cavill would be hanging up the cap൩e, though he's signed on for multiple franchise deals since then, including a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:live-action Voltron movie, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a live-action Warhammer series, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a live-action reboot of Highlander.

Bay has recently traded action movies for documentaries, with his first-ever doc, We Are Storror, premiering at the 2025 South by Southwest Film and TV festival. The pic follows the parkour group Storror, whose stunts have caused some mild controversy. His next project was thought to be a live-action movie based on the shocking YouTube series Skib🅘idi Toilet, which personally scares me on a deep, existential level, though he recently over on Instagram.

James Gunn recently cited the best Godzilla movie in deca♏des as an inspiration for the upcoming Superman film. "My goal is to make a film like Godzilla Minus One, which depicted Godzilla but also had great human drama," Gunn tܫold Japanese outlet .

Released in 2023, th🐼e epic Godzilla Minus One w💧as a commercial and critical success, and even took home the Oscar for Best Visual Effects. For Gunn, the strength of the movie lies not only in its impressive kaiju action, but primarily in the relationship between the human characters.

"At its core is a human story," he continued in the interv♒iew, "The relationship between Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and villain Lex Luthor is at the core of the work."

In the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Superman trailer we can actually see some giant monsters attacking the city, wi🍎th Superman trying to defeat them while also trying to prevent people from getting hurt. It remains to be seen how much kaiju action is included in the movie, but it can only be a good sign that Gunn had Godzilla Minus One as an influence.

The first film in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, the upcoming DC movie stars David Corensweℱt as Clark Kent, as the hero tries to juggle his double life as a Daily Planet reporter and all-powerful superhero Superman. Nicholas Hoult plays villain Lex Luthor, while Rachel Brosnahan is Lois Lane.

The film will also feature a first appearance by Milly Alcock as Supergirl, ahead of her solo picture 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Woman of Tomorrow in 2026.

Superman releases on July 11, 2025. In the meantime, check out what other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming superhero movies you have to look forward to.

"Of course it was. I m🔯ean that is the perfect [story]," Flanagan told when asked about his inspirations. "Feat of Clay, Ron Perlman, to me, that's it. That two-parter knocked me out. The short answer is that is absolutely what inspired my script. That is the world I wanted to live in. Batman: The Animated Series when I was growing up was my Batman. As much as [Michael] Keaton was my Batman, The Animated Series really was my Batman."

Feat of Clay is a two-part story included in season 1 of Batman: The Animated Series (episodes 4 and 5) in 1992, and follows the origins of Clayface. First🐲 featured in the DC comics in June 1940, the story follows actor Matt Hagen as he turns to a life of crime after suffering a tragic accident and taking on the personality of one of his horror roles through an experiment. He is made from a strange, clay-like𝓰 substance.

Best known for his work in hit series like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass, Flanagan's version of Clayface was said to be leaning more into the character's horror aspects, but it's hard to say at this point how much ofꦍ that will remain. "I don't know what they're doing with Clayface," he clarified.

"I'm not directing it, and that filmmaker will need to make it their own," Flanagan co✤ntinued, "I know that they're doing work on the script. I'm off doing other things now, I really hope it remains true to the spirit of what I wanted it to be. But it's not my movie, so I'll be in the audience with you, anxious to see how it comes out."

Last month, DC Studios announced that Drive screenwriter Hossein Amini would be rewriting Flanagan's script, which came as a shock since fans were excited to have 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ho♋rror legend Flanagan🥃 writing the script after he 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pitched the idea via Twitter w൩ay back in 2023. The film i🐷s still scheduled to begin production in October in the UK.

Clayface is set to be released on September 11, 2026, as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. For more, see our guide on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:how to watch DC movies in order, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

"Once I was done with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker, I had to do Guardians 3, and then when I was about ready to jump [back] into Peacemaker, I got hired to be the head of DC," Gunn explains in an interview ꧒with . "As soon as I got that job, I made a couple of calls, and the first one was to Kevin Feige telling him that I'm taking the [job as] head of DC."

Gunn doesn't explain what was discussed, but it seems safe to assume that the conversatio🍰n centered on Gunn's new role in relation to Feige's, and how DC and Marvel might co-exist in the superhero movie space.

It's taken some time for Gunn to get his new DC Universe fully into place, with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Creature Commandos serving as the first official entry in the DC Studios canon, with Superman coming up as♔ the first big blockbuster of Gunn's ten💎ure. He's also turned his attention back to the long awaited second season of his hit DC streaming series Peacemaker.

"The second [call] was to John Cena, and I said, 'I'm get🐼ting this gig, and I still want to do Peacemaker, but it's going to have to wait. We're going to have to get Superman working first'," Gunn says, explaining the gap between the first and second seasons of the show.

Now, Superman is now gearing up to hit theaters on July 11, with the premiere of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2 following on August 21.

"On my second day on House of the Dragon, one of the - I’m not gonna say who, but someone very high up ♕- pulled me aside and was like, ‘Um, we're gonna get you an acting coach,'" Alcock said during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon (via ).

Alcock was a series regular on the critically acclaimed Australian drama Upright before booking the lead (season one-only) role of young Princess RhaenyraTargaryen on the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dr🐈agon.

"It just confirmed everything that I’ve kind of known to be true, [which] is that I’m not very good at my job," she joked. "You know what I mean! I was like, 'I can’t do this. This is terrꩵible. This is a big mistake.'"

Fallon assured Alcock during her Tonight Show interview that her character was indeed an instant favorite (which I think we all can agree on). It's her performance in House of the Dragon that got her the role of Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl in the upc🌜oming Craig Gillespie-directed DC pic, which is part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's new DC slate.

Per the official synopsis, while celebrating her 21st birthday, Kara travels across the galaxy with Krypto the Superdog, during which she meets the young Ruthye (Eve Ridley) an🔴d goes on a "murderous quest for revenge."

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026. House of the Dragon is streaming now on HBO Max. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows you need to know about.

On Threads, a fan asked Gunn if he would consider making a DCU timeline for HBO Max, the same way the MCU has its own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel timeline section on Disney Plus, so that people can watch the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel movies and shows in order.

"As of now it's basically as the movies and shows come out," . "Although of course some of these feature flashbacks - Creatuℱre Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, Lanterns, Superg♍irl."

That's about as simple as it gets. You might recall that the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline has had some issues in the past, including th꧃e♎ title card for Spider-Man: Homecoming placing the film some 8 years after the Battle of New York - when ༒it was actually only four.

Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC in 2022, launching a new slate of DC movies and shows titled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Creature Commandos has already aired, with Superman set to arrive in July, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2 set to arrive in August.

Some undated projects include Booster Gold, Waller, Paradise Lost, The Authority, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, and Mike Flanagan's Clayface movie. Movies like Matt Reeves' The Batman exist in their own, separate universe away from the main timeline (whereas Sony tried to lightly fold Venom into the MCU by way of that post-credits scene🌟 ▨at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home). Boom, it's that easy.

Superman, the first movie in the new DCU, is set to hit theaters on July 11. For more, check out our list of the most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movies in 2025 and beyond.

While the Superman trailers have largely kept plot details under wraps, two mysteries are threads that fans keep on pulling at: who is the armor-plated 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hammer of Boravia that's fighting Superm𒊎an, and where is Supergirl?

In one fell swoop, one theorist has bundled the two together – and believes the Hammer of Boravia is Supergirl.

"What if Lex Luthor fo🍃und her first?" @JuanSC wrote on Twitter. "Supergirl crash-lands on Earth, confused, disoriented… and Lex locks her inside the Boravia armor. Weaponized. Controlled. Dangerous."

He continued, "In the trailer, the Hammer uses Superman-level powers. That leaves ꧟us with 2 real opt🐲ions: – a robot built to copy Kryptonian powers – or Supergirl, trapped in the suit."

Those Superman-esque laser beams emanating from the Hammer of Boravia's eyes does suggest someone of Krypton or🌄igin is behind the helmet. Lex Luthor falsifying a response from the fictional country of Boravia in response to Superman in the hopes of leaving the Man of Steel as publ🍬ic enemy number #1 also rings true.

You may no🐻t be entirely convinced, but it's a narrative swerve as good as any we've seen so far – unless director James Gunn opts to put someone like Ultraman – the evil, alternate universe take on Superman – in t𝐆he role.

Here's what we do know: Earlier this year, confirmed that Milly Alcock would be making her Supergirl debut in this year's Superman film before appearing in her own feature – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Woman of Tomorrow – in 2026.

For now, Supergirl is one mystery that🔯 remains up in the air. But expect her to fly into Superman's orbit ver♕y soon.

On , the fan posted a screenshot of one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:newest Superman trailer where David Corenswet’s Superman is flying around villain Kaiju. But in the background, on a huge screen, there is a news broadcast taking plac꧒e with the headline, “Major Floods causes suffering.” Check out the post below.

The fan seems to think that the “floods” are the very same from the 2021 movie The Batman, where half of Gotham was destroyed when the Riddler and his band of misfits blew up the bridges leading into Gotham, causing water to pour into the city, destroying homes and taking lives. The floods take place towards the end of the movie, and we see the city trying to repair itself when right up until💃 the titles roll. Could this mean that Superman takes place during the same time as The Batman?

However, not everyone is convinced, as replied, “Major floods in Metropolis from the trailer, not Gotham.” Earlier in the Superman trailer, we see what looks to be The Engineer pushing the hero through the water and into a building (though we cannot be certain). This could well be the reason for the flooding.

But joined in and pointed out, “Doesn’t look like a flood though,” and , ♕“Gotham is across the bay from Metropolis. They are both [in] New York after all.” With this in mind, it wouldn’t be too out of the ordinary for news broadcasters in the city💦 of Metropolis to report on a major flood in Gotham, as the two districts are so close to one another.

We’re not sure if any further trailers or teasers will confirm the link, but all will be revealed when the first 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters movie hits screens this summer. Starring Corenswet as Clark Kent, the movie follows the hero as he tries to juggle his double life as a Daily Planet reporter and Superman, while a gaggle of villains led by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) try to take over the city. Directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn, the m𝔉ovie also stars Ra✃chel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

The thing is, the villain known as the Hammer of Boravia is actually a newly created charac💧ter for Superman - a character who doesn't come from comics at all. There is a fictional nation known as Bora🔴via in comics, but it doesn't have its own hero.

Speculation around the character has skyrocketed since his name was revealed, with many people guessing that the so-called "Hammer of Boravia" is a misdirect to avoid sh🔯owing Lex Luthor's classic pur🌺ple and green battle armor, his armor recolored for the trailer to keep the secret.

That's not impossible, but the💜 fact is, the armor doesn't look much like any version of Luthor's armor, regardless of color scheme. And we've also seen armored Luthor troops in purple and green a𓂃rmor of their own, which also doesn't resemble this.

Maybe Gunn pulled the same trick Marvel Studios once played on viewers by subbing in Hulk in the trailer for Avengers: Infinity Wars in scenes that actually featured the Hulkbuster armor in the final movie. But would DC fork over the money and manpower it takes to fake a whole CG character?💖 Probably not, especially considering Marvel's bait-and-switch was the subject of a lawsuit.

It may be more lik🍸ely that there is in fact a comic inspiration behind the Ha🐲mmer of Boravia - just not one that's readily visible without a bit of digging.

That character is Rocket Red, or in fact the Rocket Red Brigade, a team of armored supersoldiers who served as the heroes of the USSR in the '80s DC Universe, one of whom even went on to join the Justice League International - a team that also included Superman's Green Lantern, Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and which was organized by Maxwell Lord, who is played by Sean Gunn in Superman and in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2.

If you lo꧅ok closely at the Hammer of Boravia's armor, it features a sash-like stripe across the torso flanked by a star - the same emblem of the Rocket Red Brigade, but with g🐼old swapped in for red, since the USSR hasn't been a thing since the early '90s.

Is the Hammer of Boravia definitely a Rocket Red palette-swap? We𓃲'll never know unless James Gunn someday spills the beans on the character's official inspiration. But the connection isn't so far-fetched, given the aesthetic similarities and the fact that Gunn is already drawing heavily on the cast of Justice League International.

In 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the new trailer, as pointed out by , when Superman is hit over the head with a can thrown by a bystander, he doesn't really react, with his eyes still facing forward. But in the original Superman trailer, when🦩 the hero was hit with the flying can, his right eye twitched in reaction. See the side-by-side comparison below.

Neither DC Studios nor 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn have addressed the subtle change, but I think I may have worked out just why Su😼perman is a little less flinchy in the new trailer. As Superman is from the planet Krypton, he is technically not a human, so he cannot feel pain like we do. On top of this, the hero’s powers include super-strength and nigh invulnerability, allowing Superman to take on mass physical punishment. So, a litt🍷le tin can shouldn't faze him at all.

However, I can’t help but feel a little sad about the change. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The first trailer, where Superman𓂃 flinched, added a layer of humanity to the hero, which made me feel sorry for him as he was being heckled by the very same people he was trying to protect. The ꦰtin can probably didn't hurt him at all, but the flinch showed fans he was feeling a pinch of sadness about having his community turn against him.

Nevertheless, even without the eye twitch, the new trailer showcases David Corenswet’s personality as Superman perfectly, and fans are loving it. "I can’t believe we’re getting a movie where Superman has a personality and isn’t just extremely stoic the whole time," said , referring t🍬o the scene where Superman says, "Hey Buddy, eyes up here," and then flies away. "Bro i fucking love how Clark seems like a real and genuine person with emotions again," said another .

Kickstarting the live-action side of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, Superman stars Corenswet as Clꦑark Kent as he tries to juggle his double lifܫe as a Daily Planet reporter and Kryptonian superhero. Directed by Gunn, the movie also stars Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

Superman releases on July 11, 2025. While you wait, check out what other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies you have to look forward to.

The new brand clip, which can be viewed below, opens with Lois Lane telling Clark Kent that she wants to interview him as Superman - which is wild in and of itself given that, historically, Lois is usually blissfully unaware that Clark is Superman and finds out later after some big dramatic event (this might still happen in the movie, of c♔ourse).

During ꦍthe interview, Clark Kent is a little defensive, and insists he was stopping a war out of the goodness of mankind - and not for anyone el𝓡se.

The trailer also includes some new𒐪 looks as Anthony Carrigan's Metamorpho, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor, Isabela Merced's Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi's Mister Terrific, and Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern. We also see Krypto the Superdog partake in some of the action, clawing the face of the Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría).

The early internal buzz surrounding Superman 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:has been impressive. Speaking on the , Warner Bros. co-chair Mike De Luca said,💖 "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of 🍌marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really understood the assignment."

Superman, previously titled Superman: Legacy, is all set to kick off the live-action portion of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One.

The grand plans by DC Studios co-C🏅EOs James Gunn and Peter Safran haven't quite gone as smoothly as they may have hoped after their initial wave of 2023 announcements.

While Lanterns, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Peacemaker season 2, and a🐠 Clayface movie are all moving forward, there has been less momentum with other p🌼rojects, such as The Authority and Batman: Brave and the Bold.

Rather than announcing the news via a behind-the-scenes image as he usually does, the DC Studios co-CEO decided to confirm 🐟that filming had concluded in the most nonchalant way, replying to a fan on . "James, I wanna hear from you… has Supergirl reᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚally wrapped filming?" asked the fan, to which Gunn replied, "Yes it has."

The news comes just over one month before Gunn’s Superman starring David Corenswet as the titular hero hits screens. As well as introducing a new Clark Kent to the world, the first movie in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC Chapter One: Gods and Monsters will also mark the new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl’s debut.

Supergirl, officially titled 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, stars House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock as Superman’s cousin Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. Although we are yet to see the movie’s official synopsis, Gunn has previously said that the new Supergirl is unlike anything we’ve seen before, and will bᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe vastly different from Superman, as she was raised on Planet Krypton while it was being destroyed, versus Clark, who w💦as lovingly raised on Earth.

However, what we do know is that the movie is based on Tom King's comic book series of the same name. King’s story started with the heroine traveling across the galaxy wi🥀th Superdog Krypto to celebrate her 21st birthday, when she meets a young woman named Ruthye who is out for revenge for the murder of her father.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow also stars Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Mary🍸e Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother,♐ and Jason Momoa as Lobo.

With filming now wrapped, we are hoping that the film’s official synopsis and fi꧂rst teaser w🌼ill promptly follow.

Screenwriter Hossein Amini will now rewrite the Clayface script for DC Studios, as reported by . Amini is best known for writing the script for the 2011 cult hit Drive starring Ryan Gosling, and he was nominated for an Oscar fꦑor Best Writing of an Adapted Screenplay for his 1997 film The Wings of the Dove.

This news comes as a shock, as last year it was announ🀅ced that horro🐟r legend Flanagan was writing the script after he 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pitched the idea via Twitter way back in 2023. The movie was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:set to be a horror-thriller-tragedy, but the news of a rewrite has us questioning whether this is still the case and if Flanagan is involved at al💖l now.

We never saw an official logline from Flanagan’s script, but the film was said to be leaning more into Clayface's horror aspects. The DC comic book character first appeared in June 1940 as an actor who turned to a 🎉life of crime after taking on the personality of one of his horror roles, turning into a formidable villain made out of a strange, clay-like substance.

However, TheWrap reports that James Watkins, who directed last year's Speak No Evil remake, is attached to direct, with The Batman's Matt Reeves and Lynn Harris on board as producers. Plus, the rewrite doesn't seem to have stumped the project's timeline too much, as the f🥃ilm is scheduled to begin production in October in the UK.

DC Studios will release Clayface on September 11, 2026, as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. For more, see our guide on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:how to watch DC movies in order, or keep up with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

After seeing an early cut of the movi🍸e, ๊the studio heads said that director James Gunn "really understood the assignment".

During an interview on the , Warner Bros. Studio heads Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca teased the upcoming movie, which stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachℱel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

"I used to chase James [Gunn] as a producer when he did Slither and started with his low-budget movies. He's really unique 🌜and I think DC is in great hands with the two of them," De Luca said about Gunn and his DC Studios co-head Peter Safran, a duo who is now leading the superhero saga with very ambitious plans.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters kicks off with Superman, and the studio heads are over🌸 the moon with the results. "We've seen an early cut of Superman, and I don't want to bury the lede, there's a lot of marketing about to roll out ahead of its release, but he really unဣderstood the assignment," De Luca explained, adding: "His heart's in the right place, his aim is true, and we're really excited about their new version of DC."

The first chapter of the new DCU will consist of five movies and five TV shows, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow a🤡nd a new Batman movie 🎃titled The Brave and the Bold.

After his success on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy at the MCU and 2021's The Suicide Squad, James Gunn is a re🌺liable name in today's superhero landscape, so we can't wait to meet the new Man of Steel.

"This is my dog Ozꩵu barking at the screen," Gunn explains in a video posted to social media, showing Ozu having a bit of a fit while watching the now familiar trailer scene where Krypto tries to play with an injured Superman, only to finally save him by taking him back to the Fortress of Solitude.

"Krypto was actually 3D modeled after Ozu's body," Gunn continues. "We 3D captured Ozu and turned him into Krypto. We turned him white. And anyway, every time he sees himself come on screen, he tries to✃ murder himself."

Gunn previously revealed that Ozu was the inspiration for Krypto, explaining how he adopted Ozu (who is presumably named after Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu), with the pup's difficult circumstances inspiring Gunn's inclusion of Krypto in 💖the movie.

"Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly aᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfter I started writing Superman," Gunn stated back in October. "Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human beings, was problematic to say the least."

"He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our s♏hoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop," Gunn explained. "It took a long🧔 time before he would even let us touch him. I remember thinking, 'Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?' - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life."

The Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman sho𒊎ws off the epic sets of the FF's Bax🐽ter Building headquarters, explaining how his approach to making the movie relies on the presence of actual, physical elements on set, down to building a full suit for the film's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gigantic villain Galactus rather than relying solely on digital effects. He likens his process to that of legendary auteur dire🍌ctor Stanley Kubrick "within reason."

Filmmaker James Gunn posts a series of behind-the-scenes photos from his upcom🍒ing Superman reboot movie, showing off the film's many locations, its physical sets for iconic locations such as the Daily Planet offices, its swath of impressive superhero costumes, and even 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查ꦚ询:the methods used to make Superman fly without replacing actor David Corenswet with a digitally rendered double. Many of the images 🎃reveal other aspects of the production hiding in the background as physical Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans.

It's all part of a wave of marketing for𝔍 this summer's trio of big, superhero blockbuster films which Marvel and DC have been s꧑ubtly selling to the public as both a reset and a return to form for the genre, which has become bogged down by the perception of so-called "superhero fatigue."

And the point they're allꦉ making is this: the big superhero movie studios still know how to make fully-realized blockbuster films that are action-packed and visually impressive while also pulling on our heartstrings with authentic characters and stories.

Embracing the spectacle

Will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Superman make good on that promise? We'll have to wait and see (though Thunderbolts* is setting the stage well with overwhelmingly positiv💮e reactions). But the premise certainly rings true.

In an environment where the narrative of superhero fatigue is winning thanks to the proliferation of stitched-tog꧒ether, greenscreen-driven movies that do more to add threads to an ever-expanding canvas of plotlines than to tell their own impactful stories, a return to fully-formed blockbuster filmmaking that embraces true spectacle as a vector for meaningful narratives is like a cool balm.

There's a strong reason why stunt and effects driven action franchises such as John Wick, James Bond, The Fast and the Furious, and Mission: Impossible have managed to weather the criticisms that have come to define their counterparts in the current superhero movie landscape while spawning their own spin-offs, prequels, and so on: they all manage to find ways to actually truly impress us with their feats of filmmaking and with the authenticity of their storyt𒐪elling.

Even a franchiღse like The Fast and the Furious, which essentially stars superheroes whose powers are being really good at cars, manages to remain in the public's good graces by staying true to its filmmaking potential as it takes its movies to lofty and ridiculous new heights, like launching its heroes, once simple street racers, into outer space.

There's another component to Marvel and DC's new practical-filmmaking-forward approach to m𓂃arketing their new films, which is the seesaw balancing act of utilizing all the tools of a massive movie studio while also bringing in filmmakers with a vision that translates to the level of stories being told.

Some of Marvel's less popular recent films such as Eternals and Thor: Love and Thunder s♛truggled w🌺ith allowing their directors to put their own sensibilities and voices into their movies while also fulfilling the expectations of superhero movie fans. Showing us that there are people working behind-the-scenes who understand that balance, and who prize the same things as beleaguered fans, makes a ton of sense.

A return to blockbuster cinema

When consid🥃ered alongside the common refrain of "greenscreen slop" that has accompanied films like DC's The Flash and Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the increasingly byzantine internal references that such films have counted on to keep fans invested, it's easy to see why Marvel and DC are eager to remind moviegoers that they still understand what good, tentpole blockbuster movies actually are, and ♍how to make them.

These are the qualities that people loved about the original Avengers s🦂aga. There was a strong humanity to the characters and a voice to their films that, even when they weren't🐽 entirely successful, made them feel new and fresh.

And coupled with the groundbreaking feeling of seeing the Marvel Universe formed before our eyes in a way we'd never experienced on film, it all felt like a cultural event, a reason to see and talk about movies – not just a checklist of new characters and new concepts that may or may not register with a wider audience, let alone continue on into l𓄧ater appearances.

Again, the question remains as to whether Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Superman will succeed, let alone whether Marvel and DC will be able to follow up on their potential wins by learning the right lessons. But for the first time in a long time, I'm actually excited about the 'movie' side of superhero movi❀es, and their potential to carry forward the tradition of blockbuster filmmaking into a new era.

Thunderbolts is now in theaters (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:read our review right here). Superman releases on July 11, followed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25. In the meantime, stay up to date on all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new superhero movies and shows planned for release in 2025 and beyond.

The director posted the behind-the-scenes picture on captioned, "Happy Anniversary to Mr. Terrific, who has long♔ been one of my favorite characters - it’s been a joy bringing him to the big screen for the first time with my pal Edi Gathegi." The image shows Gunn standing beside Gathegi in full Mr. Terrific set-up, with the character’s signature black mask and leather jacket with the phrase 'ജFair Play' stitched on the side. Check out the picture below.

The original Mister Terrific aka Terry Sloane, first appeared in Sensation Comics in 1942 and was portrayed as a white man who wore a bright red and neon green suit. However, from Gunn’s post, it looks like the upcoming Superman flick will feature the later version of Mister Terrific, otherwise known as Mꦓichael Holt, who donned the same black, red, and white le🌊ather get-up we see Gathegi in.

Holt’s Mister Terrific debuted in 1997, and much like Sloane's story, was introduced as the skilled and intelligent inventor member of the Justice Society of America. The character has been adapted on the small screen many times in animated series as well as in CW’s serieꦓs Arrow, where a version of Holt was played by Echo Kellum.

However, Gunn’s Superman will mark Mister Terrific’s big screen debut as the hero joins David Corenswet as Superman, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. Kickstarting the live-action side of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, Superman follows Clark Kent a🥂s he tries to juggle his double life as a Daily Planet reporter and Kryptonian superhero.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sgt. Rock would have been helmed by Challengers director Luca Guadanino, with Daniel Craig, who worked with Guadanino on his film Queer, originally on board to star as the army hero who has a history alongside the superheroes of the DC Universe. However, Craig dropped out, leading to a flurry of potential castings, with Coꦰlin Farrell the last actor to be attached to the role.

The film was♓ written by Justin Kuritzkes, who wrote Guadanino's films Challengers and Queer, whose script was reportedly considered so strong that it helped fast track the script into♍ the DC Studios slate.

It's unclear exactly why the film has been backbꦿurnered, with reports indicating that DC Studios balked at the film's relatively small $70 million budget, perhaps because Guadanino's action chops were in question.

The script reportedly centered on a World War II era plot in which Sgt. Rock teams with a French resistance fighter (likely Mademoiselle Marie, an ally of Rock's from comics) team up to track down the Spear of Deꦓstiny💯, an artifact supposedly used to stab Jesus Christ when he was being crucified.

In DC history, Nazi leadership was obsessed with finding the Spear of Destiny during WWII as a way to counteract the many American superheroes who joined forces as thℱe DC Universe's first superhero team, the Justice Society of America.

The new DC Universe kicked off with Max's Creature Comforts animated streaming series, and continues with Superman, its first film, in July. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies on the way in 2025 and beyond.

In the , we see a built-out American town - and it's pretty elaborate. In the comics, Kara Zor-El spends most of her time on Earth. In the comic Woman of Tomorrow, though, written by Tom King, she spends the entire co⛄mic on a mission throughout the galaxy after waking up on a remote planet after a night of drinking on her 21st birthday.

Per the official synopsis, "While celebrating her 21st birthday, (Milly Alcock) tr💞avels across the galaxy with Krypto, during which she meets the young Ruthye (Eve Ridley) and goes on a 'murderous quest for revenge'" (H/T ).

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the second film in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gunn and Safran's new DCU, the first being Superman. Craig Gillespie directs from a screenplay penned by Ana Nogueira. The cast includes Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll, David Krumholtz as Zor-El, and Emily Beecham as Supergirl's mother. Schoenaerts is set toꩵ play the big bad, Krem 🐼of the Yellow Hills. Jason Momoa is also set to m🎀ake an appearance as everyone's fav🦩orite outer space outlaw Lobo.

Among a few key highlights is our first time seeing the new Superman and Le﷽x Luthor side-by-side on camera together. David Corenswet is now the last son of Krypton, and Nicholas Hoult is portraying his arch-rival,ဣ the Superman-obsessed tech mastermind Lex.

Until now we've only seen them separately, but we get a little look at them together, seemingly preparing for a photoshoot or scene in-costume. It's not much, and it gives nothing away, but it's nice to see theಌm finally sharing the🌊 lens, something we'll presumably get plenty of in the years ahead.

Amid▨ all the talking heads and sports of diff🅘erent scenes, there are other teases as well. Lex's new Warsuit can be seen just after the 1:35 mark, walking through a lit up gateway. We get a clearer look at Metamorpho, another hero who’ll be appearing, as he does some headshots.

James Gunn poses with armored soldiers who're wearing Le🐽xCorp gearing, confirming we'll be seeing a lot of Lex's handiwork in this vision of the DC universe. Talking head interviews from Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Lois Lane, and Nathan Fillion, who's portraying Green Lantern Guy Gardner, talk about the hope and incredible symbolism of Superman, and why he's so necessary now.

After his success on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies for the MCU and The Suicide Squad, there’s little chance of Gunn going wrong here. He knows blockbuster filmmaking, especially when it comes to capes. Nonetheless, the pressure is on, since this kicks off he and Peter Safran’s slate of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies.

Keep your eyes to the sky for what's coming. Superman arrives in theaters July 11, 2025. Our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel movies will tell you what's ha🦹ppening across th♓e way in the MCU.

He𒈔re's the photo. 💛Take notice of the picture on the desk of Beck Bennett's sports reporter Steve Lombard, which appears to be an autographed picture of a house cat:

There is in fact a famous housecat in the Superman mythos, Supergirl's cat Streaky, who is a stripey orange cat wi🐎th all the powers of a Kryptonian, much like Superman's dog Krypto. Is it possible that Streaky exists in the new DC Universe as well? It's not impossible, especially as we already know that Supergirl ♉is definitely around.

Here's a closer look at the photo:

Jimmy Olsen, the Daily Planet's cub reporter, first appeared on an episode of the famed Superman radio serial that also introduced several other important characters and concepts to꧃ Superman's world that were later brought into comics, including Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White (to be played by Wendell Pierce i🐎n the upcoming film) and even Kryptonite.

In terms of other Kryptonian animals, at one point, there were actually a few, including Comet the Super-Horse and Beppo the Super-Monkey, who joined up with Krypto and Streaky to form the original Legion of Super-Pets, a concept that was later adapted in🐻to the 2022 animated film The League of Super-Pets.

James Gunn doesn't seem to be shying away from the more sci-fi oriented aspects of Superman's story with the upcoming film, even apparently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:including Lex Lu💖th🌸or's classic power armor, ꦗso it's definitely not impossible that there are other super-pets in the movie besides Krypto. And notoriously arrogant himbo Steve Lombard having an autographed picture of Streaky would be a pretty funny touch.

Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025. In the meantime, keep updated with every other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movie and TV show heading our way.
