Avengers: Doomsday has wrapped its UK production. While Disney and the Russo Brothers haven’t made an official announcement, The Hollywood Reporter said that principal photography finished on September 19th, “but true to the Marvel Method, Kevin Feige and the Russos Bros. will be tinkering as they prepare for a healthy dose of additional photography down the road.”
Production on Chad Stahelski’s Highlander reboot has been delayed. Confirming an earlier report from Deadline of a pre-production training injury, star Henry Cavill posted a picture on his personal Instagram account of his bandaged leg elevated on a pillow.
James Gunn started the week by posting on X that he’s finished the first draft of his Man of Tomorrow script, and dropped a hint that Brainiac is indeed the villain.
The Witcher season four trailer hit YouTube with a cataclysmic thud. Just four days after its release the trailer had 79k downvotes and only 24k upvotes. That ratio has since grown to 25K likes to a staggering 106K dislikes. READ: Guest Dies After Riding Stardust...
The Batman 2 writer/director Matt Reeves gave reporters an update while at the Emmy Awards Sunday night. He was there supporting The Penguin, the HBO Max limited series set in his DC Elseworlds, which earned 24 nominations and won nine. But it was the sequel to his 2022 The Batman that was on everyone’s mind.
The dust hadn’t even started to settle after Skydance’s merger with Paramount Studios when news broke that Skydance CEO David Ellison had set his sights on buying a second legacy studio, this time, Warner Brothers (WB).
But the sale of WB might be something that Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zaslav has been orchestrating for some time. Ellison’s interest, however, is probably an unexpected twist.
Could the next Superman movie feature Brainiac? Gary Buechler, host of Nerdrotic on YouTube, thinks so. In a conversation with Chris Gore of Film Threat, Buechler said he’d heard from a source that an earlier cut of Superman featured two post-credits scenes, one of which wasn’t used. “And one was Brainiac,” Buechler said. “So maybe… they moved that to Supergirl.”
Perhaps someday we’ll see the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) crossover with the DC Universe (DCU). But over on X, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star Simu Liu is already giving Superman the stare-down. While a sequel to this year’s Superman has the green light just months after the film’s debut, a follow-up to 2021’s Shang-Chi has yet to be confirmed.
Horror movies keep most people awake at night, but since the latest film in The Conjuring Universe just took over the box office, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery David Zaslav is probably sleeping just fine.
The Gremlins movie in development has been confirmed as a reboot.
There’s no rule in Hollywood saying they can’t dip into the old intellectual property well as often as they want. In fact, right now nostalgia, especially 80s nostalgia, is as popular as a Cabbage Patch Kid at Christmas. Some rules were made to be broken, and others must be followed. Rules like: keep it away from sunlight, don’t get it wet, and don’t feed it after midnight.
The operative “it” being a gremlin.
In a recent sit-down with Movieweb, original Gremlins screenwriter Chris Columbus confirmed that he’s working on a reboot. “[I’m] working on a script for Gremlins, a new Gremlins reboot that I feel, if there’s a reason to do it. Let’s do it,” he told the outlet.
Since the release of The Batman in 2022 and its spin-off, The Penguin on HBO Max, fans have speculated on the future of franchise and the character. Not Batman. He’s a given, though James Gunn’s parallel DC Universe seems in conflict with writer/director Matt Reeves’ darker world. But how will Colin Farrell’s Oz Cobb, aka: The Penguin, feature in The Batman 2?
Now we may have an idea, and it’s not as prominently as we might have thought given the success of his solo show.
As every movie fan knows, the Pirates’ Code is more like guidelines. Now, we’ve learned that the Way of the Gunn (at least where it concerns the DC Universe) is more like “bullet points.”
