This article contains spoilers for "Superman."

Some people might fear that with a main character as massive and mainstream as Superman, James Gunn would lose some of the distinctive directorial flair that's made him such a popular director in the horror and comic book movie spaces. But while Gunn's "Superman" is indeed different in some ways from his past work, it's still a Gunn flick through and through.

A look at the "Superman" trailer footage and the cast list alone should give you a decent amount of confidence on that front. While lead stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult aren't part of Gunn's typical recurring roster of actors, the supporting cast is filled with familiar faces. Nathan Fillion, who's been collaborating with the writer/director since "Slither" in 2006, plays Green Lantern Guy Gardner. Other Gunn usuals featured in "Superman" include his brother Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord...

Exclusive: Rapper Lil Mama, Mudbound and Straight Outta’ Compton star Jason Mitchell and Carlos Ponce (Couple’s Retreat) are starring in action-thriller Mercy Mercy Me, written and directed by Wes Miller (A Day To Die).

The crime-thriller, set in 1985, sees two reformed outlaws, Mercy (Lil Mama) and Khaos (Jason Mitchell), pulled back into the life they left behind. They’re forced to take on a dangerous job that pits them against mob bosses, a crooked detective (Ponce), and their own past sins. Below are first look images of Mitchell and Lil Mama in the film.

LA-based production company Blacklight is financing the indie movie with Andrew van den Houten and Wes Miller producing, Joseph O’Connor and Lloyd Watts co-producing and Jessie Jalee and Chad Ghiron executive-producing. 79th & Broadway Entertainment will be handling the sales for both domestic and international.

“Mercy Mercy Me is story about grief, guilt, and the struggle to find forgiveness.

Though Superman is a relatively self-contained movie, writer/director James Gunn does include quite a few cameos that could set up future projects in the Dcu.

Most of these characters were either confirmed or rumored to appear in the buildup to the film's release, but there was one surprise that Gunn and co. managed to keep under wraps.

Bradley Cooper as Jor-El and Angela Sarafyan as Lara Lor-Van

The cameos that prove to be most pertinent to this movie's plot are Jor-El (Bradley Cooper) and Lara Lor-Von (Angela Sarafyan), who appear via a holographic message that plays when Krypto brings Supes to the Fortress of Solitude following his defeat at the hands of the Hammer of Boravia.

We learn that the second part of the message was damaged when the infant Kal crashed to Earth, but Lex Luthor and The Engineer manage to decipher the details later on, using the...

A new 30-second teaser for Peacemaker season 2 is playing in select theaters, and it's now found its way online. While the first trailer saw Christopher Smith come face-to-face with his doppelgänger, this sneak peek confirms the confrontation is playing out in another reality.

Needless to say, this has raised questions about whether James Gunn intends to bring the Dceu's Peacemaker into the Dcu rather than simply introducing a new Dcu version with a similar history.

Peacemaker season 2's "canon" status has been a hot topic of debate among fans, especially as its characters played such a prominent role in the Dceu. Gunn addressed that last year by saying, "In Creature Commandos, you'll hear them talk about things that happened in [The] Suicide Squad or Peacemaker. Well then, those things automatically become canon."

"The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League," the Superman director added.

Though Superman stands front and center as the DC Universe kicks off its anticipated film slate, the actor playing the Man of Steel isn't flying above his counterparts on the salary front. A new report confirms David Corenswet isn't the highest earner in the reboot's cast despite being its lead actor.

According to Puck News, Corenswet took home $750,000 for his work as the Last Son of Krypton in James Gunn's Superman remake, the same amount as co-star and Lois Lane actor, Rachel Brosnahan. Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult, who plays Superman's archenemy Lex Luthor, made nearly two-and-a-half times more than Corenswet, securing a $2 million payday for his efforts. The report notes that all three actors are in line for bonuses should Superman perform well at the box office.

While it may sound crazy on the surface that Hoult is making so much more than Corenswet, given his supporting role, his big-screen...

HBO and HBO Max will be promoting season two of Peacemaker and the debut of It: Welcome to Derry at the 2025 San Diego Comic-Con. Peacemaker stars, including John Cena and Danielle Brooks, will participate in a Hall H panel on Saturday, July 26th. The series will also take over Nova San Diego with the special Peacefest immersive fan experience.

It: Welcome to Derry will be represented by Andy and Barbara Muschietti when HBO hosts an exclusive first look at footage from the series premiere on July 26.

Warning: This article includes Spoilers from Superman.James Gunn addresses which DC Universe project will be a crucial one to follow to see where the franchise is going after the Superman movie. A new era for DC is now fully underway, as Gunn's Superman movie has not only brought the Man of Steel back to the big screen, but also kicked off the larger Dcu.

While centering primarily on Krypton's last son, the Superman movie also paved the way for numerous other characters who will be regulars in the Dcu franchise. With multiple Chapter 1: "Gods and Monsters" movies and TV shows on the way, the Dcu is just getting started, with larger payoffs coming down the line.

ScreenRant's own Ash Crossan caught up with Gunn for Superman, though the discussion also turned to what is lying ahead for the franchise. While discussing Krypto's progression in the story,...

The most-awaited Superman movie is here. James Gunn has put a unique spin on DC’s Man of Steel, and fans have already loved what they got to see in the promotional material. Gunn brings optimism and hope back to the character while fleshing out interesting characters based on the comics and the original Superman movie of 1978.

During a press conference, the DC CEO shared that the hero in his movie represented “the basic kindness of human beings” (via ScreenRant). He has brought an interesting mix of characters to his first film, played by an ensemble cast. Gunn’s cast consists mostly of up-and-coming actors in Hollywood.

Ryan Reynolds rose to fame following his role in 2002's National Lampoon's Van Wilder, a comedy that paved the way for many similar roles. However, the actor made his mark in the film industry once he tackled the role of Deadpool, which became an extremely successful franchise, critically and commercially.

Outside of Deadpool, Reynolds starred in only one other live-action franchise: The Hitman's Bodyguard. Although the actor voiced Guy in several films from The Croods animated franchise, and had many films that could've gotten a sequel, Reynolds only reprised a live-action role in 2021 with Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard. The two films weren't massively successful and received negative reviews from the critics, but Tudum reveals that the franchise has just found a new life on streaming.

The Hitman's Bodyguard franchise has been in the streaming charts lately, fluctuating between positions on Netflix's Top 10. For the week between June 30 and July...

The new Superman film, which hit theaters on July 8, had its world premiere at the TLC Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on July 7.

The movie’s stars, including David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, walked the red carpet together, Corenswet wearing an understated navy pinstripe suit and Brosnahan in a glittery, floor-length purple dress with midriff cut outs and an open back.

On the red carpet, the movie’s writer and director James Gunn told Deadline his goal of returning to “the color and the joy” of DC’s original superhero, saying, “The comic books I loved growing up, I wanted to imbue this film with that feeling.”

He further cited his desire to deliver a less serious rendition of the story, saying, “It’s lighter. But there’s a lot of heavy stuff in the movie as well…but the character himself is lighter.”

The following contains spoilers from Superman.

The DC Universe is officially kicking on Jul. 11, with Superman. Written and directed by James Gunn, the DC Studios co-ceo alongside Peter Safran, the superhero film is also filled with other superheroes who will be a part of the upcoming Dcu.

Aside from the titular hero, Superman's ensemble cast includes Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, and Wendell Pierce as Perry White. However, the upcoming superhero film also provides a first look at Dcu's next major hero: Supergirl. In a Reddit post, Milly Alcock's Supergirl gives the best look at her superhero suit ahead of her own film, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

After months of speculation, Alcock turned out to be one of the many surprises of Superman. The actress' superhero character, Supergirl, gets...

With the Dcu's highly anticipated feature film debut, Superman right around the corner, everyone and their mother are talking about James Gunn's impressive revamp. There are plenty of upcoming Dcu projects, like Supergirl and The Brave and the Bold, but perhaps even more exciting is the upcoming second season of Peacemaker. The goofy and perfectly sound-tracked HBO show blew audiences away when the first season debuted in 2022. With so much riding on the show's perception, starring actor John Cena, who played the infamous Peacemaker, and the cast were confused, to say the least, when Gunn told them they'd be doing an expressionless dance for the opening credits. Cena recently recapped how the weird dance that propelled the show's humor came to be.

Peacemaker has officially become the celebrated connective tissue between the Dceu and the new Dcu, synchronized choreography and all. At FanExpo Denver, Cena reminisced on how the...

Reviews for Superman are finally out now, and fans have already begun comparisons to superhero films from various eras. James Gunn’s debut Dcu film has soared out of the gate with a strong “certified fresh” 87% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but it still falls short of the MCU in one major way. This 87% — which is subject to change, but still comes from 105 reviews at the time of writing — falls below the 94% earned by the original Iron Man on Rotten Tomatoes. Gunn, Peter Safran, and other Dcu studio heads are certainly hoping that Superman can launch a franchise with the same success that Iron Man did, and although it falls slightly short of the 2008 MCU film, this likely won’t hinder its ability to do exactly that.

There are also a few caveats to consider when comparing Superman’s score to the original Iron Man. The bar for superhero movies...

The wait is almost over: James Gunn's Superman is nearing its theatrical release. Ahead of the worldwide premiere on Jul.11, the superhero film's debut score is out.

Superman is the first film in Warner Bros.'s revamped superhero franchise, DC Universe, which is overseen by Gunn and Peter Safran. The first film in the franchise, led by David Corenswet, does not feature yet another origin story and introduces the audience straight into the story, where everyone knows about the Man of Steel and his alter-ego, Clark Kent. After years of anticipation, Superman soared with extremely positive reviews and debuted with a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and it immediately received the Certified Fresh badge.

The initial reaction comes from 86 reviews and is likely to fluctuate as more reviews come in. However, the reaction to Superman is nothing less than stellar, especially since the entire future franchise rests on the film's reception.

Plot: A plot by Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) causes the people of Earth to question whether Superman (David Corenswet) is truly their protector, sending the hero into an existential crisis over his place on his adopted planet.

Review: I’ll give James Gunn this much: his take on Superman is unlike anything we’ve ever seen on film. It couldn’t be more different from the Snyderverse films, which attempted to reinvent the character for a more cynical age, or the lower-key Richard Donner films. In this version, Gunn has brought to life a sprawling canvas featuring armies of metahumans (some of whom we meet in the movie), pocket universes, and giant kaiju. It throws in everything but the kitchen sink. That turns out to be a mixed blessing.

The best thing that can be said about Gunn’s Superman is that it’s tightly edited, never dull, and not...

Nathan Fillion has been playing John Nolan on The Rookie for almost 10 years now, but he’s also heavily involved in James Gunn’s Dcu. Fillion, who worked with Gunn on the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, has been tapped for the role of Guy Gardner in the Dcu. He’ll make his first appearance in Superman this week before also starring in Peacemaker Season 2 and, later, Lanterns.

Fillion recently caught up with Deadline on the red carpet at an event for Superman, and he was asked what he could tease about the Dcu’s wider universe, instead of just one specific project. To no surprise, Fillion wasn’t able to completely spill the beans, but he did praise the work of James Gunn and also spoke on how the projects are all connected, which helps it feel like one big universe:

"It's a continuous universe from end to end.

James Gunn’s Superman flies into theaters on Friday, July 11, and the director and cast celebrated the film’s world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday at the Tcl Chinese Theater.

Starring David Corenswet as the titular superhero, the film will also see Rachel Brosnahan take up the typewriter of Lois Lane in addition to Nicholas Hoult playing villain Lex Luthor. The film also stars Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Alan Tudyk as Superman Robot #4, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner and more.

Find the cast in their red carpet glamor below.

Ahead of tomorrow night's Amazon Prime Early Access Screenings, Warner Bros. is finally ready to debut Superman, their long-awaited Dcu launching pad, to the world and have started a red carpet world premiere live stream - similar to the ones held over by their friends at Marvel Studios - where many of the cast and crew, including leading man David Corenswet, are expected to make appearances, alongside family and possibly surprise members of the extended Dcu.

If you haven't already, make sure to secure your tickets for either tomorrow night or this weekend. While Jurassic World Rebirth will likely provide some stiff competition, especially after its gargantuan $323 million opening weekend, the early projections are looking at a $90 million to $125 million opening for the Man of Steel, and we'd reckon, it'll end up opening on the higher end of that range.

Alan Tudyk has taken on dozens of iconic voice roles over the years, but he’s recently been doing a lot of work for James Gunn in the Dcu. During the first season of Creature Commandos, which aired on HBO Max last year, Tudyk voiced Dr. Phosphorus, Surfer Son, Clayface, and Magnus. He can also be heard in Harley Quinn voicing Clayface, The Joker, Condiment King, Firefly, Perry White, Dr. Trap, and many more.

Dr. Phosphorus became a fan favorite throughout the first season of Creature Commandos for his hilarious one-liners, which are undoubtedly made even more funny thanks to Tudyk’s brilliant voice performance. Collider’s Maggie Lovitt recently moderated a panel at FanExpo Denver for Tudyk, where he was asked how many of these jokes are directly from the script vs. improvised. While he didn’t go too in-depth, he credited the script work of James Gunn, who...

Out of all movie genres, Westerns have a charm that attracts all kinds of viewers. There’s something about the dry, rugged, brutal world that keeps the viewers engaged and connected to the story. This charm has now helped Peter Dinklage’s The Thicket to dethrone Jason Statham’s Homefront on streaming charts. Per FlixPatrol, a day after the Tubi original’s debut on Amazon Prime, the movie has risen to the #8 spot, while Statham’s Homefront dropped to #10. With The Thicket debuting in the top 10, we can expect the movie to rise to a better spot on the charts in the coming days and weeks.

Directed by Elliott Lester, The Thicket follows an orphan who puts together a ragtag team of unlikely heroes to rescue his kidnapped sister from a brutal killer. Things take a deadly turn when, during the quest, the band comes across a deadly no-man's-land called The Thicket.

Sylvester Stallone made his debut as a leading actor in a scripted television series in 2022 with Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King. The series received positive reviews and was renewed for Season 2 and later for Season 3.

Production on Season 3 began in March 2025, with Stallone keeping fans updated via his social media account. The upcoming Season 3's pilot will be directed by Jim McKay, and brings back Stallone as Dwight "the General" Manfredi. On Jul. 1, Stallone gave an exciting filming update on Instagram, revealing that Season 3 has wrapped filming and teased exciting details about the show's future.

John Cena is set to reprise his role as Peacemaker in the second season of his hit DC show next month, but ahead of its arrival, a long-forgotten action film from the WWE star has returned to streaming charts. Cena stars alongside Ethan Embry and Boyd Holbrook in The Reunion, a 2011 action film following three half-siblings who go to Mexico as bounty hunters with the hopes of inheriting $3 million from their dad. The Reunion is currently streaming for free on Tubi, and it’s one of the most popular movies on the streamer in America, sitting at #7 at the time of writing. The film grossed only $1.6 million on limited screens against a $6 million budget, and it earned disastrous scores of 9% from critics and 32% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Reunion was one of the earlier movies for John Cena, who made his feature acting debut in 2006 on The Marine, the...

Christopher Reeve's Superman rescued cats from trees. Now Superman's David Corenswet rescues dogs from kaijus.

Rotten Tomatoes shared a new clip for James Gunn's long-awaited Superman reboot, in which the Man of Steel steps in to catch a giant monster's foot before it steps on a dog. But instead of running from the monster, the dog continues to bark, forcing Superman to use super-breath to push it out of harm's way before launching a counterattack.

The clip was one of several dropped ahead of the movie's July release, with one focusing on Clark Kent's relationship with Daily Planet co-workers Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen and the other seeing him react to Krypto the Super-Dog's antics in the Fortress of Solitude. Superman's relationship with Krypto has been frequently highlighted in Superman's marketing campaign, with a previous clip seeing him interrogate Lex Luthor over his dog's whereabouts.

According to Gunn,...

A Tubi original Western movie has surpassed a Jason Statham action flick penned by Sylvester Stallone on the Prime Video streaming charts. The Thicket starring Peter Dinklage has muscled its way into the Top 10 -- and pushed Statham down the list.

Per FlixPatrol, The Thicket is sitting in the No. 8 spot in Prime Video’s Top 10 movies. Meanwhile, Statham and Frank Grillo’s Homefront has fallen to No. 10.Homefront had been surging on streaming, but the movie -- written by Stallone and based on the novel by Chuck Logan -- has now fallen to Dinklage's critically acclaimed Western.

The Thicket stars Peter Dinklage, Yellowjackets actor Juliette Lewis, Levon Hawke, Esme Creed-Miles and Metallica front man James Hetfield. Based on the 2014 novel by Joe R. Lansdale and adapted for the screen by Chris Kelley, the movie follows a young man named Jack (Hawke), who ventures out to rescue his sister...

You know what never goes out of style? A bald guy with a British accent punching people in the face. Case in point: Homefront, the 2013 action-thriller starring Jason Statham, which just muscled its way back into the global conversation. According to Flix Patrol, Homefront is now the eighth most-streamed movie on Prime Video as of June 27 — beating out not only The Beekeeper (another Statham special) but even James Cameron’s Titanic. Let that sink in. Titanic sank twice.

The film's comeback is no fluke. Originally released in 2013 and directed by Gary Fleder from a script by none other than Sylvester Stallone, Homefront follows ex-DEA agent Phil Broker (Statham), a man just trying to live a quiet life in small-town Louisiana with his daughter. Unfortunately, he picks the wrong town, and soon finds himself tangling with local meth kingpin Gator Bodine (played with backwoods flair by James Franco). Toss in Winona Ryder,...

Not only is this a chance to beat the crowds and catch the movie before its official release date, but we’re taking to the clouds in style, as David Corenswet’s Superman sails through the sky in crystal-clear IMAX.

After years of updates from writer/director James Gunn, the premiere of Superman is finally upon us. The film will fly into theaters everywhere in less than two weeks on July 11, and its leading star just pulled back the curtain on how the Dcu will be different from its biggest rival, the MCU. Gunn has adapted a mindset that focuses on quality scripts above all — it’s this mentality that led to Colin Farrell’s Sgt. Rock movie being canceled by the studio. Gunn has worked extensively with the MCU on the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, so he knows what success inside a larger franchise looks like. Clark Kent actor David Corenswet spoke with the press at a set visit last year, attended by Collider's Ross Bonaime. When asked how much he knows about the future of Gunn’s DC Universe, Corenswet said:

"I mean, essentially nothing. Essentially,...

Two movies from 2013 are making headway on the streaming charts currently. An underrated movie starring Jason Statham and Frank Grillo is climbing up Prime Video’s Top 10 streaming chart and has now surpassed a Tom Cruise sci-fi blockbuster. As of June 28, Homefront is now up one spot in Prime Video’s top 10, per FlixPatrol. The film, written by Sylvester Stallone, is currently No. 7 in the top 10 Prime Video movies, while Cruise’s Oblivion has dropped to No. 9.

Satham also has another film in the Top 10, as The Beekeeperis currently in the No. 10 spot of all movies on Prime Video. Ben Affleck’s The Accountant 2 retains the top spot for now on the streamer.

Homefront stars Statham as a former DEA agent named Phil Broker who moves to a quiet town in the bayou with his daughter.

One of Jason Statham and Frank Grillo's most underrated movies is now a streaming hit.

Per Flix Patrol, 2013's Homefront has officially reached the number eight spot on the list of the top 10 films streaming on Prime Video for June 27. This marks a two-place climb from where it previously sat, with Homefront now leading ahead of both The Beekeeper and Titanic. The top spot is currently dominated by The Accountant 2, which is followed by Deep Cover and The Accountant in second and third.

Directed by Gary Fleder from a screenplay by Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone, which itself was adapted from the novel of the same name by Chuck Logan, Homefront stars Jason Statham as Phil Broker, a retired DEA agent whose last raid involved the takedown of a drug lab owned by Chuck Zito's crime boss Danny T. When Phil's daughter Maddy is bullied at school, her...

With Sicario, Taylor Sheridan kicked off a literal storytelling empire. With Yellowstone, he redefined the modern Western. Then he kept going from the chaos of Mayor of Kingstown to the espionage edge of Special Ops: Lioness. Sheridan’s shows just hit different – be it cowboys or covert ops, his signature’s all over it, with good dialogue, moral gray zones, and damn good drama.

Now, with his universe spanning timelines, towns, and tough-as-nails leads, we’re ranking every Taylor Sheridan series by their Rotten Tomatoes scores. Because when your TV catalog runs this deep, someone’s got to lay it out straight.

‘1923’ (2022 – 2025)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 95%

1923, folks, didn’t just ride in as another Yellowstone prequel; it carved out its own legacy. Premiering in December 2022 on Paramount+, the series followed a new gen of Duttons fighting for survival during the brutal early 20th century. With Prohibition, drought, and looming Depression-era chaos at their doorstep,...

In January 2023, DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn pulled the tarp off of the first incarnation of the Dcu slate. The lineup included a balanced spread of five feature films and five television series. Many of these projects were new IPs, but a few were based on familiar characters, Amanda Waller being one of them. Waller, starring powerhouse actress Viola Davis, was developed as a solo project for the ruthless Argus director. The series was originally set for release in late 2024, but production got detoured by the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Since its delay, there haven't been any Waller updates, leading some fans to fear that it had been canceled or forgotten about.

James Gunn put those anxieties to rest with a recent Threads post, in response to another user's query regarding whether Waller was still planned. Gunn's reply was brief yet promising: "Yes." The studio head didn't divulge any additional tidbits...

A brand-new teaser for Superman just dropped, and it’s already creating a buzz. The clip, which premiered during a segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, gave fans a quick but intense look at how things are shaping up between the Man of Steel and Lex Luthor.

In the scene, Superman storms into Luthor’s office, clearly furious. He causes quite a mess, smashing through the doors and knocking things over. What stands out most, though, is what he demands: a dog. While the teaser doesn’t say much, he’s likely talking about Krypto, Superman’s pet dog, who’s appeared in the film’s earlier promos.

Nicholas Hoult plays Luthor, and his response in the scene is calm and dismissive. He sips coffee and pretends he doesn’t know what Superman is talking about. That short exchange already hints at the kind of tension and mind games we can expect between the two.

The new Superman teaser is finally here, and fans are freaking out, because it shows Superman getting seriously angry at Lex Luthor. In a short teaser that aired during a Jimmy Kimmel Live! segment, we see David Corenswet’s Superman smashing into Luthor’s office, breaking doors and furniture, and demanding something unexpected: the dog.

That’s right, Superman wants the dog. While it’s not completely clear what’s going on, it’s probably safe to assume he’s talking about Krypto, the Super Dog. Krypto has been shown in a lot of the movie’s earlier promos, so this scene is likely tied to whatever’s going on with him.

Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, just sits there and acts like he has no idea what Superman is talking about. He even casually sips his coffee and denies everything. It’s a short clip, but it gives...

DC Comics is about to kick off their epic summer with the release of James Gunn's Superman. The film will be the first big-screen adventure for the new Dcu, but this new shared universe won't just feature films. It will also include TV shows. In 2025, Peacemaker is getting absorbed into the updated continuity with its highly-anticipated second season. Now, ahead of John Cena's return as the popular anti-hero, Funko is celebrating Peacemaker with a new dance-worthy Pop set.

A part of Funko's premium Pop Moment collection, their latest Peacemaker piece is based on the show’s first season from 2022. Specifically, the opening credits that featured Wig Wam’s “Do You Wanna Taste It”. Just like the now iconic intro, Cena’s Peacemaker is dancing to the beat of his own killer drum with his team from his debut season. This includes Eagly the Bald Eagle, Freddie Stroma...

DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn addressed the apparent recasting of Clayface for his 2026 solo villain movie. Gunn made big promises from the begining that his Dcu will use the same actors across live-action and animation, over both film and TV. This is already being felt as actor Frank Grillo voiced Rick Flag Sr. in Creature Commandos and will soon bring him to live-action in Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. 

DC Studios confirmed that Apple TV+'s Suspicion actor Tom Rhys Harries will play Clayface in the Batman villain's 2026 horror movie. This marks a recast after Clayface made his Dcu debut in last year's animated Creature Commandos where he was voiced by Alan Tudyk.

One fan responded to DC Studios co-ceo and Clayface executive producer James Gunn on Threads pointing out the apparent recast. In response, he noted that the Dcu "would plan on using Primary actors whenever [they] can," indicating this may...

When Superman debuts in July, several major DC characters will make their first live-action theatrical appearances. One such hero is Krypto the Superdog, Clark Kent/Superman's childhood dog who also survived Krypton's destruction. The human stars of the film include David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Frank Grillo, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, Anthony Carrigan, Skyler Gisondo, and Wendell Pierce. Though the film is not an origin story, it will follow a younger Superman (Corenswet) balancing his relationship with Lois Lane (Brosnahan), the burgeoning enmity between himself and Lex Luthor (Hoult), and trying to be a hero.

Get ready for more chaos in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, hitting Max on August 21, 2025. John Cena’s unhinged antihero, Christopher Smith, is back, diving into the rebooted DC Universe (Dcu) with a fresh batch of foes to tackle.

This season promises gritty action, wild humor, and a deeper look into Peacemaker’s messy quest for peace at any cost. Let’s meet the six confirmed DC villains shaking things up.

White Rabbit DC Comics

Brey Noelle steps into the Dcu as White Rabbit, a lesser-known Batman villain. Known in the comics as Jaina Hudson, she’s a socialite with powers like duplication and super speed, often sporting provocative outfits inspired by the Playboy bunny.

Her role in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 (2025) remains under wraps, but I’m excited to see how her flashy style and abilities clash with Peacemaker’s brute force. She’s set to appear in at least one episode, marking her live-action debut.

James Gunn is set to bring a new vision to the Superman story with his upcoming movie, arriving in theaters on July 11, 2025. This film marks the first big-screen DC Universe release since Gunn became the director in 2022. He aims to refresh the characters, especially Superman and his well-known rival, Lex Luthor.

In a recent chat with Rolling Stone, Gunn shared that this version of Superman, played by David Corenswet, will be more vulnerable compared to previous versions like Henry Cavill’s.

Unlike the strong and nearly unbeatable Superman fans have seen before, this new Clark Kent will show more human weaknesses. Gunn also revealed that his take on Lex Luthor will be more relatable for viewers.

Traditionally, Lex Luthor is portrayed as a wealthy villain who opposes Superman, the hero everyone loves. Because Superman is the symbol of good, Lex is usually seen simply as the bad guy.

But Gunn wants to change that view.

James Gunn is bringing a fresh take to the Superman story with his new movie set to hit theaters on July 11, 2025. This film will be the first DC Universe movie released in theaters since Gunn took over as the director in 2022. His goal is to make familiar characters feel new and different, and that includes Superman’s famous enemy, Lex Luthor.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn explained that this Superman, played by David Corenswet, won’t be as unstoppable as past versions. Unlike Henry Cavill’s Superman, who was very powerful and tough to beat, this new Superman will be more vulnerable and human. Gunn also talked about how his version of Lex Luthor will be much easier for audiences to relate to.

A recent teaser, titled “Strength,” highlights Superman’s greatest power, his humanity. This approach gives the film a unique angle compared to earlier versions. The story focuses on Superman trying to balance his alien roots with the life he has with his human family in Smallville, Kansas.

Ahead of Superman, audiences are revisiting, or perhaps watching for the first time, David Corenswet's previous big screen outing, 2024's Twisters. The disaster movie is currently climbing the charts on Prime Video.

Per FlixPatrol, Twisters is currently No. 5 on Prime Video's U.S. Top 10 Movies list, sitting just below The Accountant 2, The Accountant, Oblivion, and The Beekeeper, all of whom are making their debut on the list.

The rebooted Dcu is finally making its way to the big screen next month with the release of Superman. After two years of waiting, the Man of Steel (played by David Corenswet) is ready to take to the skies against Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). The film is expected to dominate the box office, and DC Studios is so sure it will be a hit, it's already begun work on a sequel... sort of. James Gunn, who wrote and directed Superman, recently revealed that Superman will, unsurprisingly, have a long future in the Dcu, and the character's second outing is already being developed.

James Gunn spoke to Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming Dcu movie, and the director had a surprising amount to say about potential sequels in the future. Gunn confirmed that he has already begun working on Superman's next Dcu appearance, although he wouldn't go so far as to call it a sequel.
