James Gunn Thinks ‘Anti-American Sentiment’ Is Hurting ‘Superman’ Overseas

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-07-23 17:45:27

James Gunn has a new Superman movie out—perhaps you’ve heard of it? The DC hero’s latest cinematic adventure, the first under DC Studios’ Gunn-led era, is a box-office hit and already has fans dreaming of sequels and spin-offs. But one notable quirk of those ticket sales is that Superman is doing better domestically than it is internationally, despite its seemingly broad appeal as a Hollywood superhero movie. Earlier this week, Variety reported that while Superman‘s numbers are impressive, earn

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-23 21:15:30

Ask anyone what the Thing’s catchphrase is, and, almost certainly, everyone will simultaneously say, “It’s clobbering time!” That’s just been a fact of the character for years. And, in the new movie Fantastic Four: First Steps, it’s also the case, but with a little twist. A twist that’s coming to the video game Marvel Rivals in a kind of unprecedented synergy of gameplay and movie promotion. As seen in a recent trailer for First Steps, “It’s clobbering time!” is the in-universe catchphrase of t

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Isn’t Quite Fantastic, But It’s Pretty Great

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-07-24 13:00:22

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is like an ice-cold drink on a warm summer’s day. A slice of apple pie with a glass of milk. It’s a nice, simple, familiar-feeling movie that will make you feel warm and fuzzy for a while but maybe doesn’t have the lasting power of something stronger. It’s easily the best Fantastic Four movie ever, and yet, falls just short of being fully “fantastic.” Nevertheless, it’s still highly enjoyable. Directed by Matt Shakman (Wandavision), Fantastic Four takes place fou

Sutton SignWriting is a writing system for sign languages

SignWriting was invented in 1974 by Valerie Sutton , a ballet dancer who eight years earlier had developed a dance notation named Sutton DanceWriting . [8] The current standardized form of SignWriting is known as the International Sign Writing Alphabet (ISWA).

The new Superman movie continues to rule the box office after its second weekend, leading the pack with $57 million from US audiences, and this relaunch of the DC universe is only getting started. Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel.

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right. A group of (mostly) drunk friends drive on a dark road, run into a person, and then, while he may or may not be still alive, throw his body into the ocean.
