"DC Studios' DC Universe" Movie News & Discussion Part 4 (Spoilers)

[AdrenalineRush1996]

While I am among those who would've wanted Henry Cavill to remain, thus sad to see him depart though to be fair, I'm not surprised given that he was sidelined by higher ups after Justice League, I'm giving the upcoming relaunch under Gunn and Safran a chance.

As long as it gives us good stuff, that's fine by me.

James Gunn made the only profitable live action superhero movie during the Great Superhero Movie Crash of 2023. He clearly gets superheroes and the second Suicide Squad probably would have been a box office hit if it weren't for the coronavirus and it being streamable on Max. Really, people seem tired of superhero movies even if they are really good like Blue Beetle.

I think it's fair to say that Gunn gets his specific brand of heroes and films, whether that's translated to an entire cinematic universe remains to be seen.

His films are mostly wacky cartoon humor with drama mixed in. The anti-Snyder. I don't think that tone works for Superman (essentially the Superman III tone). There is a middle ground between grim dark and wacky comedy, like the 00s X-Men and Spider-Man films, but for some reason it feels like films most conform to one extreme or the other nowadays. Maybe Gunn is more versatile than Guardians of the Galaxy and Suicide Squad and the idea that he'll turn the Justice League into the Guardians of the Galaxy is pure speculation. Then again, this tone would actually work for the Justice League International.

I'm thinking Pom is hinting Katana.

I don't know if they'd cast a Korean actress as a Japanese character...but it wouldn't be the first time.

Gail Simone revealed she pitched a Harley Quinn solo movie but unclear when.

Not much of a shocker but UK’s WB Leavesden Production Facility To Become DC Studios Hub by 2027 as the studio expands.

Never would've expected a solo Harley thing from Simone .

Sulu from Star Trek (2009).

And Satsu from Memoirs of a Geisha.

Insider claims Gadot is returning as Wonder Woman in the Gunn-Safran DCU.

We've heard this before...until I hear it from Gunn's mouth, I'll take it with a grain of salt.

She probably has/had a contract with WB before all of this transitioning began. Cavill I believe is out at this point and Snyder screwed him over by doing BvS instead of a proper MoS sequel.

So neither her or Cavill (and looking like Mamoa too) got a trilogy. I think Gadot at least was going along with the program as flawed as it was.

Gadot was the one bit of casting in the DCEU I loved. I mean, Cavill and Levi weren't bad either, but Gadot just blew me away every second she was onscreen. I would hate to think her excellent Wonder Woman career could be cut short simply because the execs and script-writers were so bad at their jobs. That's not fair to her or how amazing she is.

^^Speaking of execs who are so bad at their jobs, here's an interesting article that I just found just today:

‘Man of Steel’ Writer Says ‘It Was Crazy’ How WB and DC Tried to Build Their Own MCU, Reveals David Fincher’s Two-Hour ‘Blade’ Meeting

David Fincher had around 50 pages of art books that detailed the look of his axed "Blade" movie.

I know it has nothing to do with the current DC Studios that was ran by James Gunn and Peter Safran, but I want to share this because it's a very interesting tale of how previous management at Warner Bros and DC are so desperate to get that MCU money, and they thought, "let's make 20 DCEU movies over the next 10 years! Yeah, that would show the mouse!"

Yeah, look what happened 10 years later...

What a mess.

Reading stuff like this just gets me steaming mad. I'll think I'll refrain from further comment. Just assume my true feelings involve a lot of vulgarity and bile and you can imagine them.

Yeah, I don't blame you, man. I really don't.

 

[the greenman]

It's not just WB/DC to blame. Remember pretty much every studio tried their hands at a connective 'universe' of some sort. I honestly thought things with DC could possibly work, but it was BvS where I saw the flaws. Rushing WW in and lest I mention BatFleck didn't even have a film yet.

Ugh

Another report Matthew Vaughn is involved with a DC Universe project. I think he was rumored for The Authority a few months ago.

It would be interesting to see him tackle a DC movie .
