Mark Ruffalo is continuing his campaign against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger even after a federal judge approved a settlement containing billions of dollars in domestic production commitments and extensive protections for Hollywood workers. The Marvel actor...
Remember when David Zaslav was a buffoon CEO in need of being fired? Remember when Bob Iger was declaring that Disney was about to have their best box office run since 2019? We certainly do, and we’re reminded of just how much (and how quickly) times can change.
Warner Bros. has just etched its name into the record books in a way Disney never has. Over the weekend, The Conjuring: Last Rites stormed into theaters with an $83 million domestic debut, the third-largest opening ever for a horror film. That figure alone would be enough to grab headlines, but what makes it historic is the bigger picture: this marks Warner Bros.’ seventh consecutive film to open above $40 million.
The Midjourney AI lawsuit just got a whole lot bigger. Warner Bros. Discovery has officially joined Disney and NBCUniversal in a high-stakes legal showdown against the AI art generator, accusing the company of mass copyright infringement that strikes at the heart of Hollywood’s most valuable properties.
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.”
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.
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.
For more than a decade, comic book movies were Hollywood’s surest bet. Audiences could count on at least one Marvel or DC (usually Marvel…) release smashing past $700 million globally every single year. However, that comic book movie box office hot streak is now broken.
HBO is moving forward on The Last of Us Season 3 — a season centered around Abby, one of the most deeply unpopular characters in modern gaming — by beginning production before all the scripts are finished. Showrunner Craig Mazin has admitted that while some writing is underway, the full slate of episodes won’t be complete before cameras roll.
James Gunn’s much-hyped Peacemaker Season 2 premiere has finally arrived — and I sincerely wish it hadn’t and that I didn’t have to review it… What unspools in the first episode is a chaotic, vulgar, self-indulgent disaster that makes even Gunn’s shaky Superman reboot look like a cinematic triumph by comparison. I enjoyed much of the first season. I like John Cena. But this episode? It is amateurish, infantile dreck with almost nothing redeemable.
Warner Bros. Animation has unveiled the first full trailer and poster for Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires, and it’s clear this isn’t just another version of the Dark Knight. Rather, the animated film is rooted in the violent clash between Mesoamerican civilizations and European explorers. However, the trailer has proven deeply unpopular with fans, as Aztec Batman YouTube dislikes have exploded in response to these cultural changes to classic DC characters.
In an exchange on Threads, DC Studios co-CEO and filmmaker James Gunn has confirmed he’s actively writing a sequel to his 2025 Superman reboot.
