DC head and the director of the upcoming film Superman James Gunn has firmly dismissed the possibility of including several songs in the new movie, notably David Bowie’s Starman, which fans have been eagerly looking forward to. The song has been featured in multiple movies and shows over the years along with many viral Superman fan edits. Fans even wanted Gunn to use the song for the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

James Gunn has plans to bring the most ruthless assassin in the DC comics into his film universe. Gunn recently gave a hint that Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke will be a part of the Dcu. The supervillain is an archenemy of the Teen Titans and has also gone face-to-face with Batman and the entire Justice League. Gunn recently announced a Teen Titans project, which makes it even more convenient for a major Deathstroke appearance.

The character was an elite operative in the U.S. Army who gained enhanced physical and mental abilities from a super-soldier serum. Joe Manganiello portrayed the character in a brief appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League but further plans for the character went nowhere.

Slade Wilson, most notably known as Deathstroke is one of the most notable Teen Titans villains. The character did appear in Dceu in ‘Justice League’ but ever since then, fans have been asking for more.
Now when Gunn rebooted the cinematic universe and dubbed it Dcu, fans were expecting plenty of characters to make the jump, but only a few hoped that Deathstroke would make the cut.
Fans asked James Gunn whether he has plans for Deathstroke in the Dcu and to confirm with a wink if he does, and surprisingly, James Gunn winked, you can see the exchange below:
Deathstroke appeared in both cuts of ‘Justice League’ as he had dealings with Lex Luthor and wanted to get his hands on Batman by any means necessary. The character was played by an actor Joe Manganiello.

Back in March, we learned that playwright turned feature scribe Ana Nogueira had been tapped to pen the Teen Titans screenplay after impressing studio bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran with her work on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.
Nogueira was quietly hired to pen a Supergirl movie for Warner Bros. when the studio was developing a Sasha Calle-led The Flash spin-off. The Scarlet Speedster’s solo outing was in post-production at the time but the project was scrapped when Gunn and Safran took charge of DC Studios and moved on from Walter Hamada’s planned Dceu slate.
DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has just been asked on Threads about rumours Teen Titans will begin shooting in late 2024. The Superman helmer has yet to confirm the project is in development and responded with "No" when the question about that start date was put to him.

James Gunn, the co-head of the DC Studios, is currently trying to handle a range of universes and characters all at once, and… it seems to be working! Although it might make people somewhat sad, an iconic DC villain that Ben Affleck initially wanted for his Batman film, is returning to the Dcu!

From retiring actors like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck to bringing back actors like Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa, James Gunn surely had a rough start for his Dcu. The recent speculation, however, will be like an arrow to the hearts of Ben Affleck fans, since this was his vision of a film!

Glen Powell is one of the fastest-rising stars today thanks to his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, both successful box office hits. It’s not a wonder anymore if the actor wants to join a superhero franchise as it remains the most popular genre in the film business.
Glen Powell in Top Gun: Maverick / Paramount Pictures
In fact, Powell has been a fan-favorite actor for the role of Michael Jon Carter, aka Booster Gold, in James Gunn’s upcoming DC Universe project. The thing is, the actor has a different hero in mind.

John Cena made his debut as Christopher Smith, aka Peacemaker, in James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, before going on to headline his own spin-off series. Peacemaker was a big success for Warner Bros./DC, and a second season is currently in production for the Max streaming service.
Gunn has already confirmed that Peacemaker season 2 will be set after the events of Superman Legacy, and that the movie will "have an impact" on the show. Does this mean we can expect to see Smith or some other Peacemaker characters appear in the Dcu Man of Steel reboot?
Cena was asked about the possibility of showing up in future Dcu projects during an appearance at Comicpalooza, and while he brilliantly evaded the question, his response did seem to suggest that he may know a little more than he's willing to divulge.

Dwayne Johnson and John Cena’s feud in the WWE was one of the most heated rivalries in the history of sports entertainment. The feud spanned for two long years, that is from 2011 to 2013 was arguably the most fiercest and heated saga between the two wrestling greats. But what made the rivalry more intense was that the beef stemmed from real-life heat and it is considered to be one of the episodes since the end of The Attitude Era.

During the feud, Cena was never intimidated by the Brahma Bull’s legendary status as he confronted him each time with great zeal and confidence. Though the 13-time WWE Champion is not the man to get uneasy, there’s one man who strikes fear in his heart, and he is not someone with whom he has shared the locker room with.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is currently scheduled to be the second Dcu title released by DC Studios and we recently learned that Cruella director Craig Gillespie will helm the movie.
Ana Nogueira (The Vampire Diaries) is writing the screenplay - she was also attached to the Supergirl movie starring The Flash's Sasha Calle - and House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock will play the titular hero.
If you've read the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic book, you'll know that the series ends with a glimpse into the future and Kara Zor-El sporting a new costume which is less Supergirl and more Superwoman. Now, some new fan art by @jaxsonderr showcases what Alcock's version of the character could look like with that suit in the Dcu.

The Top Gun: Maverick and Hit Man star was also said to be in line to play the title role.
Apparently, this take on the animated series was going to be set "years after the adventures of the show, with the Captain now a washed up hasbeen who needs the kids more than they need him."
Updates have been pretty much non-existent since, but Powell recently confirmed that the project is still in the works, and he's very keen to play the environmentalist hero.

Nathan Fillion thought Ant-Man was a low-rung superhero before he saw Paul Rudd carrying the role easily. He was surprised when Rudd made the character almost endearing to him. Earlier it was rumored that Fillion was considered for the Ant-Man role. The rumors started after Joss Whedon directed The Avengers, as he and the director had worked together on Firefly.

He who watches the watchmen must light the lantern. Damon Lindelof, who ran HBO’s adaptation of Watchmen, will now take charge of a Green Lantern series titled Lanterns. And he’s not the only major name attached.
As James Gunn posted on social media over the weekend: “Yes, it’s true. The Lanterns Dcu series is putting together a crack team of writers, based on a wonderful pilot script and bible by Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof. A hearty welcome to Chris and @damonlindelof as they join the DC Studios family.”
Outside of Watchmen, Lindelof was of course a key contributor to Lost. As Gunn noted, Lanterns will also feature work by Ozark’s Chris Mundy and DC comics staple Tom King. Others that have been tied to the show include The Strain’s Justin Britt-Gibson, The Penguin’s Brennah Gibson and Animal Kingdom’s Vanessa Baden Kelly.

DC Studios' upcoming Green Lantern TV show, "Lanterns," has assembled its writer corps. Co-CEO James Gunn confirmed on Instagram today that the series' pilot script and show bible was written by Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, and DC Comics writer Tom King, who has been part of the DC Universe's creative team since the start.
"Lanterns" was first announced in January 2023, along with the rest of the "Gods and Monsters" slate, as it's been dubbed by Gunn and his fellow co-ceo, Peter Safran. It's a soft reboot for the DC Extended Universe, which fizzled out into a succession of box office bombs, and is currently taking a bit of a breather while Gunn and Safran assemble this massive new slate of films and TV shows. Gunn is also getting personally stuck in, writing and directing the upcoming "Superman" movie reboot and continuing his creative duties on "Peacemaker" for season 2.

If there's one thing we've learned in this social media age, it's that some people have a very good memory (meaning a once innocent comment can come back to haunt even the best of us).
Earlier today, it was confirmed that Max's Lanterns has tapped Chris Mundy, Tom King, and Damon Lindelof to pen the pilot and a "bible" for the long-awaited TV series. Now, James Gunn's one-time thoughts on the latter have been revealed in a resurfaced Facebook comment.
Way back on March 18, 2012, the DC Studios co-ceo and Superman director said, "Lindelof is close to Satan in my book because of the end of Lost. He's the Uri Gellar of storytellers, a total scam artist with no integrity whatsoever. And a liar."

When Gunn & Safran assumed leadership roles as co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studio, they revealed plans for a comprehensive revamp of the old Dceu, unveiling a plethora of projects spanning live-action films, TV series, and animated shows. Among these, ‘Superman’ is currently in production and slated for a 2025 release, while ‘Creature Commandos’ marks the inaugural project under the newly established Dcu label.
However, one project that receives relatively little attention within the Dcu lineup is the forthcoming ‘Booster Gold’ TV Show, centered around the titular hero.
James Gunn recently disclosed that the show is in active development but won’t enter production in the near future. However, industry insider Daniel Richtman now divulges that the show is on the verge of securing a showrunner, and the lead character has already been cast.

Responding to a fan on social media who asked when we can expect a first trailer, Gunn revealed that we're going to be waiting another while, as the movie is now "just over halfway through" shooting.
Production recently moved to Macon, Georgia, and a photo was shared to X/Twitter of a heavily tarped-up set. Cameras are not expected to start rolling until early next month, but Gunn and co. definitely seem to be taking every precaution to ensure that spy shots don't leak online.

According to rumors, James Gunn will make Green Arrow a part of his Justice League team in the Dcu. The character has a decent fanbase, thanks to Stephen Amell’s eight-season run as Oliver Queen in The CW show, Arrow. Earlier, Zack Snyder tried to include the character in the Dceu, with another actor considered for the role, but it didn’t ultimately work out. Interestingly, rumors also suggest that Dcu will make Black Canary his partner.

Amell expressed interest in reprising the character for a film version, which also didn’t happen probably due to Amell’s personal life troubles. The character Black Canary appeared in the Dceu, played by Jurnee Smollett, in the film Birds of Prey.

My Adventures With Superman is part of a heroic lineage of shows that follow the Big Blue Boy Scout of Metropolis but still fall short in one area. Superman: The Animated Series still remains one of the best iterations of the character and his mythos, and not just because it is an important iteration of the character. It is also down to the fact that Superman got to play around in a connected universe with other heroes, especially Batman.

Superman: The Animated Series shared a universe with Batman: The Animated Series and the two Justice League shows helmed by Bruce Timm.

DC’s My Adventures With Superman is returning for a second season and the makers seemed to have pulled all the stops to make it a bigger and better follow-up to the hit show. The animated series stars Jack Quaid as Superman and Alice Lee voicing Lois Lane. The show also sees Jimmy Olsen as a significant part of the trio.
While the show has references to multiple other DC characters and artifacts, it has yet to feature one of the IP’s most popular characters Batman. While the show had a reference to Gotham in the first season, producer Jack Wyatt seemed to have a disappointing update about the Caped Crusader’s presence in the second season of the show.

Stunning videos capturing a meteor flashing across Europe went viral over the weekend. Luckily, the European Space Agency concluded that the likelihood of any meteorites being found on Earth was low, which is great news considering that meteorites crash-landing on our planet spells massive trouble when it comes to horror.
The Blob, Creepshow, and Night of the Creeps all showcase the perils of meteorites unleashing an alien menace upon an unsuspecting population, and the niche subgenre gets perfectly encapsulated in filmmaker James Gunn’s Slither. One small, unassuming piece of space rock decimates a small South Carolina town through an evolving parasitic invader.

Grant Gustin’s The Flash is considered one of the most prominent superhero shows before it ended after 9 seasons in 2023. The Arrowverse show was first announced as a spin-off to Arrow, where Gustin first appeared as Barry Allen.
While Stephen Amell’s Arrow was a significant hit among viewers, the makers were not sure if The Flash would also bear similar results. However, they knew that even if the show failed, they could not afford to lose Gustin, and cleverly planned to pave a way to make him stay in the Arrowverse.
