James Gunn and DC Haven’t Started Casting Wonder Woman… Yet

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-19 06:45:51

The holy trilogy of James Gunn’s DC Universe is slowly coming together. Part one, of course, is Superman, which is now in theaters. A Batman movie is being written (in addition to Matt Reeves’ new Batman movie), and, of late, there’s been lots of talk about Wonder Woman too. As co-president of DC Studios, Gunn recently confirmed a Wonder Woman script is being written, and subsequent rumors suggested the film was being fast-tracked. Well, that’s partially true, Gunn said. “It’s a priority, but I

It's official -- James Gunn's new Superman movie is officially a blockbuster hit, earning $125 million in the US during its first weekend. If you're a fan of other Gunn movies like Suicide Squad or Guardians of the Galaxy, you'd best grab your tickets for this relaunch of this new DC Universe before they're all sold out. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman i

Krypto’s ‘Superman’ Spotlight Is Inspiring People to Adopt Their Own Superdog

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-07-25 22:30:05

While Warner Bros. Discovery celebrates the success of DC Studios’ Superman, the true winners from this past weekend’s blockbuster may have more in common with Krypto. The Superdog who stole the movie has inspired an uptick in pet adoption interest. According to dog-training app Woofz, “Google searches for ‘adopt a dog near me’ jumped up 513%” in the days after the James Gunn-directed film’s opening weekend, while “‘rescue dog adoption near me’ hit 163% in increase.” And it makes sense, as Gunn

We Can’t Get Enough of Jimmy Olsen in ‘Superman’

“What is going on with Jimmy Olsen?” I recently asked the stars of Superman. “What is it about that guy?” “He’s got rizz,” replied Rachel Brosnahan, who plays Olsen’s fellow reporter Lois Lane. “This is a true fact about Skyler Gisondo,” Clark Kent himself, David Corenswet, added about the Olsen actor. “Which I hope is appropriate to share. Sorry, Skyler… His testosterone is through the roof. Off the charts. True story. So of course, who is surprised that his Jimmy Olsen is pulling the kind of g

James Gunn's 'Superman': Does It Have Post-Credits Scenes?

James Gunn's Superman movie swooped into theaters Friday, offering thrilling battles, big-hearted heroes and an amusingly untrained canine sidekick. You might want to see the superhero epic if you're into other films written and directed by Gunn (such as Suicide Squad and Guardians of the Galaxy) or want to catch the cinematic start to the new DC Universe.

Why James Gunn Wanted a Younger Jor-El In ‘Superman’

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-07-29 14:00:28

The role Superman’s parents play in his life has always differed across years of comic book reshuffling and myriad adaptations. But in our latest crack at the Kryptonian whip in James Gunn’s Superman, Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van play a brief, but fundamental role in the movie. Casting the role for Gunn was crucial, not just because of the character’s legacy—but because he wanted to buck a trend from other live-action Superman films. In Superman Jor-El and Lara are played by the voice of Rocket Racc

It’s been over a decade since the last proper Superman movie hit theaters, and this weekend finally broke that long streak with Superman (formerly subtitled Legacy). This has been one of the most talked-about superhero movies in recent memory, and one that comes with some baggage. Before writer/director James Gunn came onboard, it seemed Henry Cavill would don the cape again after being MIA from the DCEU the last few years, only for that to fall apart.

Report: David Zaslav Pushed Back on Ta-Nahesi Coates’ Black ‘Superman’ Movie for Being ‘Too Woke’

On the eve of James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman film, the Wall Street Journal released a quantitative report that essentially signaled the film as Warner Bros.’ last chance to make its comic book brand soar. No pressure. However, within the lengthy, half-pop culture, half-financial report was the revelation that Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav turned down a script for a Black Superman movie in 2022 because he felt it was too woke. According to the WSJ, the Black Superman script, which was

Review: Stellar cast makes Superman shine bright

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-30 22:27:51

I'll be frank: I had mixed feelings, based solely on the trailers, about James Gunn's Superman reboot. Sure, the casting seemed great, Gunn has a winning track record on superhero fare, and Krypto the dog stole the show every time he appeared. The trailers struck a nice balance between action, humor, and heart. Yet the film also seemed overpacked with super-character cameos, and it was hard to get any sense of the actual plot. I've now seen the film, and those impressions were largely correct.

How ‘Star Wars’ Inspired a Late Change to James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

During post-production on Superman, writer-director James Gunn ran into a problem. “We found that people loved the movie but that they were confused about the world they were entering,” Gunn told io9 recently. And so, to fix that problem, late in the filmmaking process, he looked to another one of his favorite films for the fix. When Superman hits theaters this week, it opens with six sentences that set up not just the world of the DC Universe, but Superman’s origin and the film’s plot, all in

James Gunn Turned Down Making a ‘Superman’ Movie When He First Jumped to DC

Unless you’ve been living under a rock avoiding all social media rumblings about comic book movies, you’ll be extremely aware that DC Studios and James Gunn’s Superman movie, starring David Corenswet, releases this week. While the film is already receiving mostly rave reviews, is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and is projected to make at least $200 million globally on its opening weekend, its director revealed that he was approached to create a Supes film seven years ago but turned it down.

It takes mere seconds for James Gunn’s Superman to cast a spell on its audience. The film is not just an introduction to a brand-new Superman but to an entire new DC Universe, and with a very clever, very exciting, very intense collection of sentences that appear on screen, it’s instantly clear how different and resonant this film is about to be. The information sets the tone, stage, and stakes in moments, as each statement reverberates with intensity and anticipation. And that’s just the first

It is unsurprising to anyone with even an iota of experience with Superman—whether they’ve picked up a comic, watched a TV show, or seen a movie at any point over the last nearly 90 years—that the character has had an immigration parallel at the heart of his story. A child of two worlds, created by immigrants, Kal-El’s escape from Krypton to find a home where he is raised to embrace the values of the American ideal is a touchstone that has been woven through almost a century of storytelling.

‘Rick and Morty’ Let Zack Snyder and James Gunn Fight Over Superman

“Ricker Than Fiction,” the latest episode of Rick and Morty, felt in some ways like a throwback to season four episode “Never Ricking Morty,” which similarly interrogated the storytelling process. But instead of a “Story Train” and characters with distressingly overdeveloped abs, we got a “Movie-Lizer” (a Rick invention designed to right the wrongs of the show’s in-universe “Maximum Velocitree” blockbuster franchise) and the distressingly overdeveloped biceps of one Zack Snyder.

James Gunn Reveals His Lightbulb Moment While Writing ‘Superman’

James Gunn sure loves animals. We see this every week on social media as the DC Studios president posts photos of his pets but also in his filmmaking. It was famously the idea of bringing a raccoon to life that gave Gunn the confidence to tackle Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel. And, with his upcoming film Superman, he found inspiration in a very similar way. “It was just difficult to figure out where I was going to come from with Superman,” Gunn said speaking to io9 in Los Angeles last week.

It’s been years since James Gunn and Peter Safran first announced their plans for the future of the DC Universe. In that time, plans have changed slightly, and work is ongoing, but, with one exception, we have yet to see exactly how things are going to play out. That changes July 11 with the release of Superman. Not only is the film our first introduction to this brand-new, reimagined version of Superman, it’s our first look at what Gunn and Safran’s DC Universe looks like on the big screen. Sp

When Superman started kissing the football on a stick, it all clicked together. The day was June 24, 2024 and io9 was in Cleveland to watch the filming of James Gunn’s Superman. At the end of a giant battle over the streets of Metropolis, the Man of Steel knelt down to kiss and profess his love to an inanimate object that special effects would later transform into his dog, Krypto. That little dash of heartfelt weirdness, in the middle of a massive action scene, did a near-perfect job of showing

Even before seeing it, it’s clear there are many, many things that set James Gunn’s Superman apart from other versions of the character. One is that, though this is very much a Superman movie, Superman interacts with a bunch of other superheroes. There’s the Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and more. It was an interesting choice for Gunn to make, especially since this is our first real glimpse at the larger DC Universe he’s helping to create. So we asked him about it. Speak

That’s why, when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios in 2023, plans were immediately put in place for the Holy Trinity of the company. The first part of that, Superman, is about to come to the big screen on July 11, but the other two pieces are still in flux. “Batman’s my biggest issue in all of DC right now, personally,” Gunn told Rolling Stone. “And it’s not—I’m
