James Gunn is undoubtedly making a significant impact over at DC Films and WarnerMedia as the filmmaker gave us the violent but oddly humorous and emotionally engaging comic book romp, “The Suicide Squad.” The lead to a spinoff series, “Peacemaker,” focusing on the foul-mouthed and psychotic character played by John Cena.

Following his detour back into horror with the recently released “Malignant,” filmmaker James Wan is back as the director on “Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom.” Filming on the follow-up to the billion-dollar hit has been underway in the United Kingdom. The returning cast includes Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry/Aquaman, Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Orm, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, and Dolph Lundgren as King Nereus.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead started out her film career playing the daughter of Bruce Willis‘ John McClane in “Live Free or Die Hard, but has carved out a big career since then, including the action genre.

Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield,” “Dawn of The Planet of The Apes,” “War For The Planet of The Apes“) is starting to usher in a new era of the iconic Caped Crusader as his new Bruce Wayne, Robert Pattinson (“Tenet“), is leading “The Batman” as part of a new trilogy and Reeves is also behind the “Gotham PD” series at HBO Max that takes place before the events of the upcoming movie focusing on the city’s corrupt police force.

When WarnerMedia announced that “Wonder Woman 1984” would have a day-and-date release dropping on HBO Max at the same time as theaters, it sounded from various reports that it was a contractual situation that has been resolved before the announcement. This made their other announcement about all 2021 releases following the hybrid releases without working out deals with talent and production partners extremely puzzling.

WarnerMedia loves to develop a heap of DC Comics projects, and it sounds like we’ll be getting another one. A report from the usually reliable Cinelinx states that Misha Green (“Lovecraft Country“) is currently writing a project (could be a film or series) that will focus on Jurnee Smollett‘s Black Canary from “Birds of Prey.” The pair had previously worked together on “Lovecraft Country,” so a reunion would make sense on paper.

“Batman” starring Michael Keaton as the Caped Crusader is largely credited with starting the craze of comic book movies. However, the Oscar-nominated Keaton admitted that he hasn’t actually watched one since the late ’80s.“After the first ‘Batman,’ I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an entire [comic book] movie,” the 69-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter.

Warner Bros. might not be jumping up and down about the box office return of “The Suicide Squad,” however, WarnerMedia seemed happy enough to give James Gunn his own spinoff HBO Max series “Peacemaker” and have indicated they want him to make more films for them.

critically acclaimed reboot of the DC Comics property.The S.I. native — who is infamous for trash-talking his native borough but still lives there — booked two showings at 7:20 p.m.

Filmmaker James Gunn seems to be making quite the impression over at Warner Bros. and DC Films with his latest DECU installment, “The Suicide Squad,” which has seemingly been hyped-up for what feels like ages and delivered the goods with an exceptional group of reviews alongside positive buzz from fickle DC Comics fans.

“The Suicide Squad,” in theaters and on HBO Max Friday, they may leave with one burning question: Did I really just watch superheroes fight a giant alien starfish-y thing? Indeed you did. He (she? it?) may seem like a mild acid flashback, but the boss-level villain Starro is so very real and, against all odds, now appearing in a major summer blockbuster. The movie is both a quasi-sequel to 2016’s poorly received “Suicide Squad” and a complete reboot.

disagree with me on this). The original’s director, David Ayer, who has never delivered a decent film, has been scrapped and replaced by James Gunn of “Guardians of the Galaxy.” Most of the earlier movie’s cast and characters have also sat this one out.Running time: 132 minutes.

Do fan petitions or Twitter campaigns have a huge impact on how producers and studios decide who is hired and fired? Well, in the case of the calls by hardcore Johnny Depp fans to have Amber Heard removed from the “Aquaman” sequel, the answer is apparently a big no.

Zack Snyder‘s “Justice League” featured “Spider-Man” actor and Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Jim Gordon, and we all assumed that would be the end of his run in the DCEU as the studio attempted to pivot with Matt Reeves‘ “The Batman” adding Jeffrey Wright (“No Time To Die,” “Westworld“) as the new Jim Gordon and likely will appear in the HBO Max series.

James Gunn’s “The Suicide Squad” from David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad.” But, oh, what a difference a word makes.Just five years after the trainwreck that prompted Warner Bros. to retool its DC Comics universe, James Gunn’s nearly wholesale re-do exists in an entirely different movie galaxy.

Screenwriter, producer, and director David S. Goyer (“Krypton,” “Foundation“) has been behind some of the most popular comic book films such as “Blade,” “Blade II,” “Batman Begins,” “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” and “Man of Steel.” Things haven’t always gone his way, and the writer/director has had to deal with some difficult moments during the making of his projects.

Director James Gunn has a brand new DCEU film coming out next month, the R-Rated assemble action-comedy, “The Suicide Squad.” And as you likely already know, the filmmaker has expanded upon that world with “Peacemaker,” and HBO Max spin-off series that he created and wrote starring John Cena‘s breakout gun-totting patriotic character from the DC film.

The future of Margot Robbie‘s DC Comics character Harley Quinn is a little unclear at the moment, outside of her upcoming appearance in James Gunn‘s “The Suicide Squad,” a sort of soft reboot-y sequel to the David Ayer film from 2016. While Cathy Yan‘s “Birds of Prey” was originally billed as a solo Harley Quinn film, it ultimately became another group lineup with Quinn partnering up with female characters such as Huntress, Black Canary, Renee Montoya, and the young Cassandra Cain.

J.J. Abrams is continuing to expand upon his “Justice League Dark” series plans as he’ll produce a brand new live-action series based on another occult/horror character from the DC Comics lineup.
