As generative AI slop is threatening to turn Hollywood on its head, not everybody in the industry is enthusiastic about the tech. In a hilarious counter to a fan's AI-generated image of actor Brandon Sklenar dressed as the DC Comics' Batman, DC Studios filmmaker and "Superman" director James Gunn quipped in a Threads post that "it would be weird to cast an AI Batman with a 14 inch arm." Gunn was alluding to the AI-generated Batman's unnaturally short appendages, pointing out the AI's failure t

James Gunn fulfilled a dream today, calling his appearance on The Howard Stern Show “one of the greatest days of my life.” The interview with Stern covered many aspects of his career, including Superman, Peacemaker, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and his role as the co-head of DC Studios. It’s a fun, informative segment—well worth tuning in if you have SiriusXM access—but the most newsworthy nugget came during a brief discussion of Superman follow-up Man of Tomorrow.

Responding to a fan on the platform, Gunn reiterated that the season finale of the current Peacemaker series will lead “directly” into Man of Tomorrow, despite the fact that three other DCU projects—Supergirl, Lanterns, and Clayface—will all come out in-between.

James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Flies Home This Week

James Gunn’s Superman was pushed out of the top five at the box office this past weekend, marking the beginning of the end of its box office run. It’s been a good one, with over $330 million in the U.S. so far and another $250 million worldwide. It’s the highest-grossing Superman film ever, domestically not adjusted for inflation, and now the journey takes its next step. Gunn took to social media Tuesday to announce his DC Universe film will be available on digital August 15. That’s this week.

Superman Saving a Squirrel Was Cut Out of the Movie, but James Gunn Put It Back In

There are plenty of weird and unexpected moments in James Gunn’s Superman, but one of the most unexpected has to be when he saves a squirrel in the middle of a giant battle. Not a human, not a group of animals, but a single, solitary squirrel. It speaks to the character’s kindness and respect for all life in a fun, quirky way, but apparently not everyone liked it. “It was probably the second- or third-most hotly debated moment in the movie,” Gunn said in a wide-ranging interview with Rolling St

James Gunn’s spent the past few weeks talking about why he agreed to do Superman, and he’s also taking time to address the awkward part: agreeing to do it at the apparent expense of Henry Cavill’s superhero comeback. In 2022, the mid-credits scene for Black Adam none too subtly declared Cavill’s return and his team up (or fight) with Dwayne Johnson’s thunderous antihero. Nothing came of that, however, because as Gunn explained in a recent Happy Sad Confused episode, it was “never part of the eq

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.
