Lanterns, the upcoming superhero television series for HBO Max, has quickly become a flashpoint among DC fans. Many were already concerned after the R-rated trailer suggested a grounded tone. Comments from writer and producer Damon Lindelof sparked further backlash. Now, star Nathan Fillion and head of DC Studios James Gunn have come out in his support.
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.
The shocking news that conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot at a Utah event has reverberated across the country. While most agree that political violence is unacceptable, one of the more disturbing responses came from inside the entertainment industry. Gretchen Felker-Martin, a biological male who identifies as female who is currently writing a Red Hood comic for DC Comics, openly mocked Kirk’s death while also posting vile remarks about police officers, claiming they’re not “people.”
It looks like James Gunn’s Superman is going to double to profit of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, according to reports, despite making less at the worldwide box office.
The long-running voice of Beast Boy, Greg Cipes, has come forward with a serious allegation against Warner Bros. According to Cipes, he was fired from his role as Beast Boy the day after he publicly shared his Parkinson’s diagnosis—ending over two decades of work with DC’s animated projects.
A behind-the-scenes photo making the rounds online has sparked speculation that David Corenswet’s Superman may appear in Season 2 of Peacemaker.
James Gunn is once again stirring the pot. Just hours after confirming the upcoming Man of Tomorrow movie isn’t a straightforward Superman 2, the DC Studios co-head took to social media to describe Peacemaker Season 2 as the “Man of Tomorrow prequel.”
That single statement may have just redefined what fans can expect from his new DC Universe — and not in a way that parents will be happy about.
James Gunn has officially put a stop to the swirling speculation about his just-announced Superman follow-up. While Man of Tomorrow will serve as the direct continuation of this summer’s Superman, the DC Studios co-head has confirmed it is not a straightforward “Superman 2.” Instead, Gunn says the project is part of a larger tapestry he has been calling the “Superman Saga.”
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.
James Gunn and DC Studios have officially set the next chapter in their Superman saga. The follow-up film, titled Man of Tomorrow, will release on July 9, 2027.
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.”
The summer box office is supposed to be Hollywood’s surest bet. Big-budget blockbusters, loaded with effects and franchise branding, are meant to draw in global crowds and deliver the kind of revenue that keeps the industry afloat. Instead, the 2025 summer box office season has ended not with fireworks but with alarm bells.
James Gunn says he’s already done a 60-page outline for the next Superman movie. He’s scripting it now. The 2025 film hasn’t finished its run yet. Fans perked up. Hollywood rarely greenlights sequels this quickly; studios wait for ticket sales. Why the rush? And what does it say about Superman, the hero with the messiest sequel track record ever?
