James Gunn is not the one to walk away from creating a bizarro world in his films. The DC chief has one chance to bring one of the grossest scenes in the comic books to the screen in the Dcu. Last year, DC Comics introduced a designer metahuman, Metawoman, who could rapidly alter her genetic code to confront any threat. She went up against the Doom Patrol in Unstoppable Doom Patrol #5, released in 2005.

However, the team of Doom Patrol consists of some of the universe’s most strangest heroes and even Metawoman couldn’t handle their weird and wild abilities. In one of the grossest scenes in the comics, the hero uncontrollably turns into a giant ugly monster.

Since taking the keys to the DC universe, James Gunn has been pretty transparent with fans online, which isn’t common in the space of studio heads. From debunking certain rumors to shedding light on future DC projects, Gunm hasn’t shied away from giving a glimpse into the upcoming Dcu, which is set to kickstart with Creature Commandos.
But recently, while clarifying fans’ concerns about the upcoming animated show, which will set things in motion for the Dcu, Gunn seems to have confirmed the recasting of Wonder Woman.

Guardians of the Galaxy became one of Marvel’s many hit films when it first came out. But the movie also might’ve been one of the riskiest superhero projects the brand did at the time.

Gunn felt like he was perfect for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy movie. He was used to directing many out of the box projects, and even made his own unique superhero film in Super. He asserted that Guardians aligned with most of his sensibilities as a storyteller and a fan of the genre.
“Yeah, and I’m not saying this in an egocentric way, but there did come a point when I’m like, ‘Who else would’ve made this?’ I mean, it does fit my personality perfectly,” Gunn once told Superhero Hype.

It seems we’ll be seeing a lot of the Daily Planet in James Gunn’s Superman, as the director has assembled quite the cast of characters to fill the ranks of the newspaper. THR reports that Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald have joined the cast of Superman as Cat Grant and Ron Troupe, respectively.
Cat Grant is a gossip columnist who was introduced as a potential love interest for Clark Kent. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway and has made the leap to live-action several times before, notably by Tracy Scoggins in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman and by Calista Flockhart in Supergirl. As for Ron Troupe, the character was created by Jerry Ordway and Tom Grummett and is regarded as one of the Daily Planet’s best reporters.

Superman director James Gunn recently shared an Instagram photo with several actors from the Dcu reboot, leading to speculation that the two new faces in the pic had joined the cast.
Sure enough, THR is now reporting that Mikaela Hoover and Christopher MacDonald will appear in the movie as Clark Kent and Lois Lane's fellow Daily Planet newshounds.
Hoover will play Cat Grant, "a gossip columnist who had her eyes set on Kent," and MacDonald is playing Ron Troupe, "one of the best reporters in the newsroom."
Hoover has appeared in several previous Gunn-directed and produced movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad and The Belko Experiment. McDonald - not to be confused with the veteran Happy Gilmore actor - is a newcomer to the screen.

James Gunn is filling out the Daily Planet newsroom.
Mikaela Hoover and Christopher McDonald have joined the cast of Gunn’s Superman, the inaugural movie of DC Studios.
The feature is currently in production in Atlanta with David Corenswet starring as Clark Kent/Superman, and Rachel Brosnahan playing Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane.
The duo will have company on the news desk. Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Saturday Night Live alum Beck Bennett had joined the production to play Steve Lombard, a blowhard and self-serving reporter who in the comics serves as a foil to boy scout reporter Kent.
Sources tell THR that Hoover is playing Cat Grant, who in the comics was a gossip columnist who had her eyes set on Kent. The character, created by Marv Wolfman and Jerry Ordway, has appeared in several TV shows, most notably in CW’s Supergirl in which she was played by Calista Flockhart.

Launched back in 2013 with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as the lead, the DC live-action connected universe aka the Dceu finally succumbed to its own box-office and critical failures following the release of Justice League. Taking control of the remnants and determined to start over with a clean slate came James Gunn and Peter Safran, the former almost ready to kick-start it all with Superman.

Starring David Corenswet as the next wearer of the red cape, The Suicide Squad director will mark his second DC directorial project and the first in the new universe. Planned meticulously, the film has now taken full steam after initial restructurings and title changes. Furthermore, its latest move comes across as a double-edged sword, with one side being in fans’ favor, but the other bearing severe inconvenience to a few US residents.

While his work on his reboot version of DC’s cinematic universe as its co-ceo is yet to be seen, James Gunn has displayed his charming directing flair in quite a few other projects that were nothing short of lovable.
Besides the fan-favorite The Suicide Squad from the DC Universe being one of them, he is also credited with helming the MCU masterpiece, Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy.

That being said, while the trilogy was pretty much perfect, some fans might still hold a grudge against Gunn for a decision he took for Michael Rosenbaum, i.e. the actor who played Lex Luthor in the television series.
This was because the filmmaker decided to sideline Rosenbaum’s character in the trilogy for the MCU, i.e., Martinex, in a rather humiliating way.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 introduced the "original" Guardians, with a team comprised of Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord, Ving Rhames as Charlie-27, Michelle Yeoh as Aleta Ogord, Miley Cyrus as Mainfraime, and Michael Rosenbaum as Martinex.
When the sequel was released in 2017, the expectation was that filmmaker James Gunn would oversee a slate of cosmic projects for Marvel Studios, creating a Marvel Cosmic Universe.
While it's never been clear how far along those plans got, they were halted when Disney parted ways with Gunn after past comments on social media caught up with him. He eventually returned to helm Vol. 3, but quickly parted ways with the franchise to take charge of DC Studios and the Dcu.
Rosenbaum is good friends with Gunn and fans hoped Martinex might take on a bigger role in the threequel or even a Ravagers-led potential spin-off. Unfortunately, the Smallville alum's role...

The course of the DC Universe changed forever following the James Gunn and Peter Safran takeover. The duo of new co-chairs made a slew of decisions about existing characters and storylines that altered the canon and showed fan-favorite stars such as Henry Cavill, the exit door. However, the Guardians of the Galaxy director’s rise to the top can largely be attributed to his stint as the visionary of 2021’s The Suicide Squad.

The rising popularity of the character, thanks to the wrestler-actor’s brilliant performances, paved the way for a comeback in the upcoming The Suicide Squad Isekai anime series. Featuring prominently in its trailers, the botched moral equivalent of Marvel’s Captain America has undergone a complete makeover, unleashing a pure maniacal outlook.

The DC Extended Universe delivered the odd hit, but for the most part, it's likely to be remembered as a failure. That was evident from most of 2023's offerings and the news of a Dcu reboot from the newly formed DC Studios was welcomed by most fans.
There are lots of reasons to be excited about what's to come, especially with Superman on the horizon. Unlike their predecessors, James Gunn and Peter Safran appear to have a plan and they've already attracted some A-List talent to the overhauled franchise.
That doesn't mean they haven't already made a few mistakes, of course. Even Marvel Studios went through growing pains and, before even a single movie or TV show has launched, we have some concerns about DC Studios' plans for these characters.

Gunn has already confirmed that Peacemaker season 2 will be set after the events of Superman Legacy, and that the movie will "have an impact" on the show. Does this mean we can expect to see Smith or some other Peacemaker characters appear in the Dcu Man of Steel reboot?
Cena was asked about the possibility of showing up in future Dcu projects during an appearance at Comicpalooza, and while he brilliantly evaded the question, his response did seem to suggest that he may know a little more than he's willing to divulge.

Nathan Fillion thought Ant-Man was a low-rung superhero before he saw Paul Rudd carrying the role easily. He was surprised when Rudd made the character almost endearing to him. Earlier it was rumored that Fillion was considered for the Ant-Man role. The rumors started after Joss Whedon directed The Avengers, as he and the director had worked together on Firefly.

Lady Gaga has been born a star but now, she’s transforming into DC comic book character Harley Quinn for “Joker: Folie à Deux.”
The Oscar and Grammy winner teased her upcoming role alongside fellow Academy Award winner Joaquin Phoenix in the sequel to 2019 Batman prequel “Joker.” As Phoenix reprises his titular role as Arthur Fleck Aka the Joker, Gaga will play Harley from the “Batman the Animated Series” origins, as a bit different from Margot Robbie’s version of the character.
“You know my version of Harley is mine and it’s very authentic to this movie and these characters,” Gaga told Access Hollywood. “I’ve never done anything like I’ve done in this movie before, so it’s all going to be completely brand new and really fun.”
Margot Robbie brought Harley to life first in “Suicide Squad,” followed by spinoff “Birds of Prey” and quasi-reboot “The Suicide Squad.

If there are franchises that have played a significant role in promoting strong female characters, then, Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean has played a crucial role in showcasing such characters. These characters have broken away from traditional gender roles, and brought a unique development to the film, by complementing the male characters of the film, which made the series much more layered and engaging.

According to rumors, James Gunn will make Green Arrow a part of his Justice League team in the Dcu. The character has a decent fanbase, thanks to Stephen Amell’s eight-season run as Oliver Queen in The CW show, Arrow. Earlier, Zack Snyder tried to include the character in the Dceu, with another actor considered for the role, but it didn’t ultimately work out. Interestingly, rumors also suggest that Dcu will make Black Canary his partner.

The casting has been announced in the past few minutes at the iconic restaurant Schrøder in Oslo, Norway, which also serves as Harry Hole’s ‘second home’ in the novels.

We know that a Booster Gold Max series is in the very early staged of development, but a recent rumor claimed that the project might be quite a bit further along than we realized.
According to the report, filming is scheduled for July, and the lead role has been cast - though there was no mention of which actor supposedly landed the part. Considering it's pretty much been radio silence on the show since it was first announced, this update seemed a little shaky, and DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn has now debunked the rumor.
The Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad director was asked if "the rumor that Booster Gold will be recorded on July 8th true? Will it be the next big Dcu series after Peacemaker Season 2 or will it be Amanda Waller's series" on his recent Ma and Pa Kent post, and responded: "Although...

Margot Robbie is one of the most prolific actresses working in Hollywood today. She created history when she starred in last year’s Barbie, which became the highest-grossing movie of the year and broke multiple records. She also co-produced the film under her Lucky Chap Entertainment production company.
Robbie has also been widely regarded as one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. But reportedly that did not save her from experiencing a bad date. During a press meet for Suicide Squad, Robbie revealed that she had once been on a date that was so bad that she asked out the waiter instead to escape from it.

It's official: "Road House" is getting a sequel. Not the original Patrick Swayze classic from the '80s, mind you.

Little else has been revealed but the company wasted little time in getting the project going.

One of the most unfortunate deaths in recent years has to have been that of Joel Kinnaman’s Rick Flag. It would seem that this painful wound is being ripped open again, as Flag’s father, Rick Flag Sr., is making his way into the franchise.
While many would be excited solely based on this news, it would seem that the character is entering the universe with one goal; revenge. Could Amanda Waller help Flag Sr. kill his son’s killer?

In their announcement of the rebooted Dcu, Gunn, and Safran emphasized that nearly nothing from the old Dceu would carry over into the new cinematic universe.
The exceptions were ‘Peacemaker’ Season 1 and the character Blue Beetle, with Gunn assuring fans of a seamless transition into the second season of ‘Peacemaker’ without confusion.
The most recent announcement regarding the show complicates matters, as it appears that another project, ‘The Suicide Squad,’ is now considered canon to the Dcu. Frank Grillo has been cast as Rick Flag Sr. in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, having already been confirmed to voice the character for the animated show. This aligns with Gunn’s earlier statement about wanting voice actors to also portray their characters in live-action projects within the Dcu.
Following the announcement, it was confirmed that Flag Sr. will have unresolved issues with Peacemaker, stemming from Peacemaker’s role in the death of Flag Jr. in ‘The Suicide Squad.

Frank Grillo was cast as Rick Flag Sr. in ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, after already being confirmed to voice the character for the animated show. This aligns with what Gunn said back when he was presenting the Dcu, that he would like for the voice actors to play themselves in live-action projects as well.

In the realm of superheroes, Spider-Man would be perhaps the biggest and most popular superhero of all time. The Web-Slinger was featured for the first time in 1962 in Amazing Fantasy #15, and from there, the character never had to look back. Even though the character has had his ups and downs in the last 62 years, he has always managed to bounce back to the top!

Over the years, the character has had many renowned series, films, games, and merchandise that make him stand apart in the vast sea of superheroes. However, fans of the Web-Head are gripped by Fomo as a new Suicide Squad isekai anime series, featuring Harley Quinn, is in production. As the first trailer of the series is shared on social media, fans share their first reactions and how they anticipate seeing their favorite heroes in a new look.

One need only look at James Gunn to realize that not all good things in life come in the form of blessings and opportunities. Some of them appear in a red, white, and blue costumed dysfunctional superhero who vows to bring peace to the world, even if he has to kill every man, woman, and child for it. John Cena’s iconic Peacemaker returns to Dcu to get what he wants, even with James Gunn standing in his way.

Marvel actor and all-around badass Frank Grillo is trading his crossbones for stars and stripes after joining the cast of Peacemaker Season 2 for DC. Grillo is lacing up his boots to play Rick Flag Sr. for the sophomore season of James Gunn’s superhero series, starring John Cena as Christopher “Chris” Smith, aka Peacemaker. Rick Flag Sr. is the father of Rick Flag Jr., played by Joel Kinnaman in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad and Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Cena’s Peacemaker killed Rick Flag Jr. in The Suicide Squad, leading me to think it’s time for revenge.
Before Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. appears in Peacemaker Season 2, he’ll debut in animated form in the upcoming Max series Creature Commandos. The monster-centric animated series revolves around a black ops team working for Viola Davis’s Amanda Waller.

Frank Grillo was sorely underutilised in the MCU. After first playing Brock Rumlow for a memorable supporting turn in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he returned as Crossbones in Captain America: Civil War...and immediately died.
The actor got a cameo in Avengers: Endgame and has lent his voice to What If...?, but it's looking like he'll have much more to do in the Dcu.
After being cast as Rick Flag Sr. in DC Studios' animated Creature Commandos, it's been confirmed today that Grillo will make the leap to live-action and reprise the role in Peacemaker season 2.
"Pleased to announce the great [Frank Grillo] will be reprising the role of Rick Flag, Sr - the role he’ll first play in animated form in 'Creature Commando's - throughout Season 2 of 'Peacemaker,'" DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn said on Instagram. "Christopher Smith and Rick Sr have a little unfinished business to take care of.
