New year, new rumors about everything happening right now across a number of cinematic universes. One that's been attracting an especially large amount of attention is DC Studios' rebooted DCU continuity, which is properly kicking off this year with James Gunn's Superman after the animated series Creature Commandos soft-launched it in early December 2024. Of course, everyone is starting to wonder about its Batman and whether DC Studios might just 'recycle' Matt Reeves' critically acclaimed take on the character, but it may be time to let go of that idea.
]]>As the fires in Los Angeles that started earlier this week rage on, Hollywood has been forced to shut down a number of TV productions, including Fallout season 2, and clear the events schedule right in the middle of the awards season.
]]>The generous teaser trailer for Superman, written and directed by James Gunn, has finally arrived, and you can bet that everyone has strong opinions about it, good and bad. Here's a quick rundown of the current buzz online.
]]>The wait is finally over: Our first look at James Gunn's Superman, the first live-action entry of the rebooted DCU, has arrived.
]]>As we wait for today's hugely anticipated Superman trailer from James Gunn and DC Studios, the timing is just perfect to reminisce about the past incarnations of Supes and Lex Luthor. In fact, Jesse Eisenberg, who played the iconic villain in 2016's ill-fated but financially successful Batman v Superman (and very briefly in Justice League), recently talked about the aftermath of that failure.
]]>After Joker: Folie à Deux flopping terribly and HBO's The Penguin series making a splash, Warner Bros. and DC are rolling the dice again with another Batman villain-centric project. Get ready for a Clayface movie penned by horror maestro Mike Flanagan.
]]>It's been more than a decade since a new Final Destination came to cinemas, but it seems a date has been set for the upcoming sixth film in the franchise.
]]>It sounds like Warner Bros. is trying to bring back as much of the original cast as it can for The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, as now they're after Viggo Mortensen.
]]>You might want to start preparing yourself to get kicked off your friend's HBO Max account, as the password sharing crackdown is coming.
]]>If you aren't sure how well something like Lord of the Rings and anime would mix, the first eight minutes of The War of Rohirrim have been shared online.
]]>If you were holding out hope for a Denis Villeneuve-directed, absolutely miserable Star Wars installment, you might want to sit down, as he hasn't really enjoyed the series since 1983's Return of the Jedi.
]]>Classic Batman villain Clayface is set to appear in the upcoming Creature Commandos, and you'll likely recognise his voice.
]]>As A Minecraft Movie gets a new uncanny valley as heck trailer, its director and producer attempt to defend how it looks.
]]>The upcoming DCU reboot's first completely new live-action show Lanterns has made some good casting progress recently, and now James Gunn has confirmed when you can expect to watch it.
]]>Red One, Amazon's 'four-quadrant' Christmas action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, is opening tomorrow in the United States, so that means The Rock is hyping the hell out of it and dropping some perplexing takes.
]]>HBO clearly has no intention to slow its roll on Game of Thrones projects, as now a film is apparently in the works.
]]>We all at one point or another dream about owning a Batmobile, and soon enough 10 (very rich) people will get to make that reality.
]]>Fancy some quite brief looks at some upcoming HBO Max shows like Peacemaker season 2? You've got 'em, just make sure you don't blink.
]]>The Penguin only just finished its first season, but The Batman director Matt Reeves has said some early discussions about a second season are taking place.
]]>Bong Joon-ho's (of Parasite> fame) next movie, an adaptation of Edward Ashton's sci-fi novel Mickey 7 (yes, not Mickey 17), was shot in 2022, yet we're still waiting to see it. Now, it's been hit with yet another delay and has been moved to spring 2025.
]]>Scavengers Reign, one of the best sci-fi series in a long time, apparently currently isn't getting a season 2, and I'm not happy about it.
]]>The Penguin has been a bit of a change of pace from The Batman with a more character-driven focus, and Matt Reeves says there's more to come.
]]>Christopher Lee's already historic career is fitting in one more Lord of the Rings film almost 10 years after his death.
]]>As Christopher Nolan prepares his next movie at Universal, more has been revealed about his post-Tenet relationship with Warner Bros. and whether he's had serious talks about James Bond in the past. The latter feels like a given, but do we really want that from him?
]]>The rumours are true: James Gunn's Superman film will feature Krypto the Superdog, and the reason why is honestly quite sweet.
]]>A lot of the new DCU's projects haven't had many updates in a while, but DC Studios co-head James Gunn wants you to know that doesn't mean they've been cancelled.
]]>Things have just gone from bad to worse for Joker: Folie a Deux, as Warner Bros. has apparently already lined up its digital release.
]]>Matt Reeves' Batman universe is far from a silly one, but apparently one source of inspiration for The Penguin's look is on the sillier side.
]]>Oh dear; 2019's Joker was a box office hit, raking in $1 billion at the box office, but Folie a Deux has failed to beat even Morbius in its domestic opening weekend.
]]>Things will certainly be different in the DCU under James Gunn, as the latest project to be announced is a mixed-media film about two different Robins.
]]>The first trailer for Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's Sinners is here, and while it's light on specifics, it's heavy on scares.
]]>Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was pretty solid, so folks are quite excited to see what Tim Burton is directing next. Turns out, he'll be stopping by Wednesday season 2 first.
]]>More than five years after the release of Parasite, the first trailer for Bong Joon-ho's next film Mickey 17 is here, and it's looking like a very strong return.
]]>Either you didn't know a live-action Ben 10 film was happening, or forgot it was, but any which way it doesn't matter, because it's been canned, seemingly.
]]>A third Dune film is in the works, but if you ask Denis Villeneuve, his take on the sci-fi classic is "not like a trilogy."
]]>The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is, perhaps unsurprisingly, supposedly going to be split into two films, according to Ian McKellen.
]]>The Batman was neither extremely grounded nor a colorful comic book take on the (DC) world's greatest detective. As a direct answer to both Christopher Nolan's notable trilogy and Zack Snyder's half-baked take on the character, Matt Reeves' own approach to Bruce Wayne and his vigilante persona was gritty and slightly stylized, but its dark feet were still firmly planted in reality. According to him, that won't change in the sequels.
]]>Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Minecraft, and it doesn't look too bad, as long as you ignore when the real humans turn up.
]]>Disney isn't making a live-action Frozen, but if it does, it'll just need to give Anya Taylor-Joy a quick call it seems.
]]>The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is slowly making progress, and one step it hopes to put forward is by bringing Ian McKellen aboard.
]]>The sequel to Beetlejuice is almost here, and director Tim Burton has shared his feelings on the original, and what he did to prepare for the second one.
]]>Far too often, blockbusters fall flat because they've been over-tweaked or straight-up reassembled in post-production. While reshoots had always been a common part of the filmmaking process, they've now sort of become this 'crutch' for productions that hadn't figured out a concrete plan before heading into principal photography. More specifically, many comic book movies have been affected by this approach, yet James Gunn's efforts, both for Marvel and DC, haven't been hurt by it.
]]>J.J. Abrams might not be liked much in certain places online after The Rise of Skywalker (a so-called franchise-killer that didn't even kill the prospect of more sequels), but he remains an effective producer and filmmaker, and while he's been sticking to producer roles for a while, he's ready to get back in the director's chair. Now, we're starting to learn who will be joining him.
]]>If you're one of the House of the Dragon fans that have come away a bit underwhelmed by the season 2 finale, that's probably because the crew is keeping something big for season 3.
]]>In a first for the online game platform, Roblox is teaming up with Warner Bros. to let you, uh, buy tickets for Beetlejuice 2.
]]>You better appreciate the time you have left with House of the Dragon, as HBO has confirmed it's ending after four seasons.
]]>More than two years after The Batman was released, The Penguin TV series finally has a concrete release date.
]]>The world of Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson's The Batman finally has a name, and it could very well be the name of one of your old mates. Maybe. Sort of.
]]>Warner Bros. has finally released the first full trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux, and it finally seems like it's admitting to being a musical.
]]>The Western animation industry is in a rough state at the moment, pretty much across the board. I constantly see people from a range of specialisations struggling to get work, because the work just isn't there, despite anime being more successful than ever. I've been feeling a bit extra sad about it recently because I've been rewatching Infinity Train, a special little show that only managed to run for four seasons, that really felt like the beginning of the end for animation at Warner Bros.
]]>Almost two years since his passing, Kevin Conroy's last outing as the caped crusader himself, Batman, is a truly emotional one.
]]>You might've heard about Kevin Costner's ambitious four-movie epic western project titled Horizon: An American Saga, but chances are you didn't show up to watch the first part in cinemas. Now, the box office disaster is so bad that Warner Bros. Pictures (through New Line Cinema) has removed Chapter 2 from the theatrical schedule.
]]>Some set photos from James Gunn's upcoming Superman film have been going around, but the director says you don't need to worry about spoilers.
]]>The Snyder Cut of Justice League never made its way to theatres, but Zack Snyder appears to be teasing that its time is finally coming.
]]>The upcoming Blade Runner 2049 sequel series Blade Runner 2099 has finalised its cast, and filming has started too.
]]>Kite Man: Hell Yeah! is a very real spin-off of Harley Quinn, and Warner Bros has finally locked in a release date for Max.
]]>No, you haven't dreamed it. A Gollum-centric Lord of the Rings spinoff movie is coming in 2026, and actor-director Andy Serkis is already teasing some of what's on the horizon for the project.
]]>Get this - Conor McGregor, yeah the loud Irish guy of MMA and, er, other stuff fame is coming to Hitman World of Assasination as Agent 47 next big elusive target. I bet the bald guy'd be scared too, if he didn't have access to guns that kind of make it a bit pointless having a lethal rear naked choke.
]]>DC is moving forward with its Green Lantern series at HBO, locking the first season in for eight episodes.
]]>If you're one of the many people that didn't watch Furiosa in cinemas, but are still curious about it, you can watch the first 10 minutes for free right now.
]]>The Batman came out more than two years ago now, and now its own Alfred Pennyworth has shared when the sequel will be filming.
]]>A first look at the next Game of Thrones spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has been revealed, as filming finally gets going.
]]>It's only been a month since Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was released in cinemas, but it looks like it's already coming to digital storefronts.
]]>Want more Adventure Time? You're getting it, and by the sounds of it, a whole heap of it too.
]]>Warner Bros. has revealed a first look at the upcoming animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, and even confirmed its runtime.
]]>It still doesn't have a specific release date just yet, but we do now at least know The Batman spin-off series The Penguin is releasing this September.
]]>House of the Dragon season 2 is finally out next week… only problem is, you're now having to pay more to enjoy it.
]]>Nothing has managed to topple Dune Part 2 at the box office so far this year, and director Denis Villeneuve is "disappointed" about it.
]]>Back in the day, about a decade ago, if a show with an active fandom got cancelled, you might find calls for Netflix to save it. It didn't always work, and there weren't even always calls to do so, but Netflix definitely had a helping hand in ensuring shows like Breaking Bad got a fifth season, and it did actually save others like Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, one that was originally meant to air on NBC. Ultimately, to this day Netflix has canned a lot more than it has rescued, and yet we're here again hoping that it could potentially save the recently cancelled Scavengers Reign.
]]>If you were hoping that Furiosa would get a black and white release just like Mad Max: Fury Road, you're in luck.
]]>Ted Sarandos, CEO of Netflix, thinks that there isn't "any reason to believe" that Barbie and Oppenheimer couldn't have done just as well on the streaming service.
]]>Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is smart enough to avoid trying to replicate Fury Road's miracle formula and relentless pacing, but doesn't always hit the mark. 'Too much of a good thing' is indeed a valid complaint here.
]]>As popular as they might be, Warner Bros. has seemingly threatened to "destroy" YouTuber ToastedShoes' channel over his Mortal Kombat 1 mod videos.
]]>It's been a big few months for Fallout, mainly thanks to that little TV show you might have heard about, but also some updates to Fallout 4 that've, er, garnered a pretty mixed reaction. Now, though, the series has really made it into the mainstream - starting today, some stuff from it's in Fortnite.
]]>If you've been looking at My Adventures with Superman's titular hero and thought "damn, he's hot," it turns out you were meant to!
]]>It's already been a few years since the first Mortal Kombat movie, but Warner Bros. has finally set a date for its sequel.
]]>Anya Taylor-Joy is the star of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, but she doesn't talk all that much in it.
]]>Climate change is very much real and we're constantly feeling its effects even if we're not paying much attention to it right now due to, uh, more pressing real-world matters. Anyway, with this conversation being relevant once again and other genre fare not performing as well as it used to, it only makes sense that Hollywood is bringing big-budget disaster movies back, and Twisters looks like a decent return to form.
]]>Blade Runner 2099 might still be a bit of a mysterious project, but it's just cast Michelle Yeoh in a lead role, so I'm already sold on it.
]]>As we eagerly await Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, we're also wondering what's going on with the actual follow-up to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. Well, it now sounds like it could be another prequel!
]]>Those of you wishing for a new Batman: Arkham game will soon have your wish granted, though it might not be exactly how you envisioned it.
]]>Margot Robbie might be more focused on her work as a producer right now, but it looks like she's finding some time for her next role too.
]]>My Adventures with Superman is back later this month, and it's looking set to introduce a couple of classic comic characters.
]]>Jack Black seems to have confirmed that he is in fact playing Steve in the upcoming Minecraft movie.
]]>Velma season 2 finally has a trailer ahead of its premiere later this month, showing that the titular character is leading a new life - a popular one.
]]>Oh dear, another Game of Thrones spin-off is no longer in development at HBO, this time the one set to focus on Jon Snow.
]]>After a long wait, the first trailer for Joker 2, aka Joker: Folie à Deux, is here, and honestly, it doesn't look half bad.
]]>He's trying to do it again, folks: Zack Snyder wants another shot at his generally poorly received 2011 film Sucker Punch.
]]>Earlier this week, word arrived from Warner Bros. that The Matrix 5 is in development with Netflix's Daredevil creator Drew Goddard at the helm, and in turn a big sigh was uttered across the internet - myself included. It's fine for franchises to die, especially one that ends as conclusively (at least thematically) as The Matrix: Resurrections did, but unfortunately in a world where IP is king, there is always money to be made. I know my complaining here won't stop Warner Bros. from pushing ahead with a new entry, but if a new film has to happen, then it needs to start at the beginning.
]]>Progress on DC Studios' Supergirl movie, which appears to be up next in the rebooted universe after James Gunn's Superman, is being made fast, and now we've learned that I, Tonya and Cruella director Craig Gillespie will be helming the long-awaited adaptation.
]]>A fifth Matrix movie is happening against all expectations and Resurrections' rather bland box office performance (admittedly affected by a day-and-date release on HBO Max). Moreover, the Wachowskis won't be penning nor directing it. Drew Goddard is an amazing filmmaker which can crack a killer pitch, but what are the chances of actually getting the creators' deeply personal universe and not falling into the pitfalls that The Matrix Resurrections warned audiences about?
]]>We finally know what Lady Gaga sounds like as Harley Quinn in Joker: Folie À Deux, and yeah, it sure does sound like her.
]]>There are no spoilers ahead for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, beyond what's been revealed in marketing materials.
]]>Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire looks rad, but I can see how it's not for everyone, especially if you aren't familiar with like 90% of Toho's Godzilla franchise and would rather stick to more serious affairs, such as Godzilla Minus One. Well, sorry if you're in that boat, as the American movies might be staying balls-to-the-wall silly for a bit longer.
]]>Believe it or not, it's been more than 2 years and a half now since 007: No Time to Die opened in theaters and we said goodbye to Daniel Craig's James Bond after a long but memorable run that reshaped the character and, for the first time ever, gave him closure. That doesn't mean James Bond is going anywhere, and it's about time we start thinking about who's next in line to play the legendary role. The latest name gaining traction? Kick-Ass' Aaron Taylor-Johson.
]]>Still can't shake off the disappointment of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? Well, if you love the famous DC property, there's something coming our way this year that might alleviate your pain... as long as you like anime.
]]>While it might be a bit of a casual confirmation, a Ready Player One sequel is coming - just don't expect Steven Spielberg at the helm.
]]>The long wait for The Batman 2 has just gotten longer, as Warner Bros. has delayed the upcoming sequel by an entire year.
]]>It's been long and arduous road to something resembling a worthy adaptation of Frank "dirty" Herbert's sand-based epic Dune, but with the recent release of Denis Villeneuve's Dune 2, we can safely call that one done. I just hope we get enough sequels for the films to start covering such nonsense as half-worm emperors and chair dogs.
]]>Dune: Part Two is kind of a corker for sure, but some moviegoers also felt it was brutally long, as we don't get many near-three-hours epics these days anymore (with stuff like Avatar: The Way of Water and Napoleon being other recent exceptions). According to writer-director Denis Villeneuve, we missed out on at least a couple of pretty cool actors because he and the studio didn't want the movie to overstay its welcome.
