DC’s release slate has been at a standstill ever since James Gunn’s announcement about Dcu’s first live-action film, Superman. His pet project, Peacemaker suffers too under Gunn’s self-impositions as the series’ Season 2 remains held up at Max until Superman is officially released worldwide.

With all the recent developments that have been happening with the Cbm studio, it isn’t too surprising that Zachary Levi’s Shazam! has been suspended until further notice as well. However, one unexpected update from the film’s young cast member has thrown all of the plans into disarray as fans scramble to decipher the meaning behind Asher Angel’s cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter).

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.

Comedian and actor Nick Offerman kicked off his Thursday night show at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre with a cheeky song about he was going to “keep it PG-13” for the night. While the sentiment didn’t last too long, the songs sure did.
The show, titled Nick Offerman and Friends vs Climate Crisis, was part of the Netflix is a Joke Fest that has taken over Los Angeles for the last week, and was put on in support of environmental non-profit Natural Resources Defense Council (Nrdc).
A known outdoorsman, Offerman told the crowd he was a “huge fan” of the organization before jumping into his opening song, but not before offering the non-profit a quick suggestion for what the night’s funds should be used towards. “I want to hope they’ll use some of the proceeds from tonight to think tank a flashier name,” Offerman joked with audience.

Team Peacemaker is growing.
Season 2 of James Gunn’s DC action series “Peacemaker” has added Frank Grillo, Gunn announced Friday on Threads. Grillo will play Rick Flag Sr., the father of Suicide Squad member Rick Flag Jr. (played by Joel Kinnaman in the previous two movies).

James Gunn is currently on a tight and hectic schedule working on both Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. With both hands full and timetable loaded, fans have felt deeply concerned about the filmmaker and the fate of the two projects.
John Cena in Peacemaker
The director addressed this query on his social media platform, and it seems he is devoting more time for Superman while still making visible progress on the Peacemaker sequel. It is a tough job to handle two different projects and develop them at the same time, but that seems to be the thrill and joy of it.

Get ready to taste it all over again. James Gunn took to Instagram over the weekend to confirm that Peacemaker season 2 is now filming its first episode, which he later clarified was a Saturday “pre-shoot.“

Just like the first season, James Gunn has written every episode of Peacemaker season 2, but he won’t be able to direct as many this time around as he’s in the midst of directing Superman. “Yes, I’ve written all the episodes; but, no, in the interest of getting the show out there I won’t be able to direct them all (only some),” Gunn said last month. He added that that will be “three other great directors joining me for the season.“

James Gunn shared a helmet selfie on Instagram to announce the production of Peacemaker season 2 has now started.
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was excellent. Then again, he had already helmed two great Guardians Of The Galaxy films, not to mention the hilarious Super, so we knew he’d be able to juxtapose the violence and the humour well.
When it was announced (and teased at the end of The Suicide Squad) that John Cena’s Peacemaker would be getting his own spin-off TV show, fans were cautiously excited but also a little worried about how the character would translate into a longer format.
Well, Peacemaker, which debuted in 2022 was a hoot. From the wonderfully bonkers opening credits, which saw the entire cast do an extravagant dance number, to the even more bonkers narrative, the series was much better than anyone was expecting.

What if Superman had turned out to be evil? That was the idea explored by director David Yarovesky’s super-powered horror film Brightburn, which was released back in 2019. Even though the movie made under $33 million at the global box office, the budget was low enough (somewhere in the range of 6 to 12 million) that producer James Gunn said they were talking about a sequel just a couple months after the film reached screens. Then we went a long time with no mentions of Brightburn 2 – until production company The H Collective, which was also behind Brightburn, confirmed that a sequel was in development last September. Things got confusing last month when Gunn took to Threads to say there are “no plans at all” for a Brightburn 2 right now… but Gunn has cleared up some of the confusion by revealing that a sequel is unlikely due to a complicated rights situation.

With the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dceu era came to a close, making way for Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu. It’s been known for years that the Dcu would mirror the MCU, with multiple phases or “chapters.”
The first chapter, ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ being its inaugural project. However, ‘Superman: Legacy’ is set to unofficially kickstart the new Dcu. Notably, ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 will transition from Dceu to the new Dcu, with Gunn ensuring it fits seamlessly into the canon.
Gunn recently confirmed that ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 and ‘Waller’ will be filmed simultaneously. According to Pwinsider, John Cena will be occupied from June to November 2024 with shooting the second season. Cena will be filming in the Atlanta area during this time, with production expected to wrap up around Thanksgiving.

He expressed a commitment to avoiding confusion and ensuring a smooth transition between the Dceu and Dcu,...

With the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ Dceu was finally retired and Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu took over. We’ve known for years up to this point that Dcu will closely follow the example set by the MCU and that the cinematic universe will consist of several phases or rather “chapters.” The first such chapter in the Dcu was announced to be ‘Gods & Monsters.’ The first project released as a part of ‘Gods & Monsters’ will be ‘Creature Commandos’ but Gunn already stated that ‘Superman: Legacy’ will be the unofficial start of the new Dcu.
Now, one notable project will be transferred from Dceu into the newly established Dcu, and that’s ‘Peacemaker.’ ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 was already confirmed to be in development when Gunn clarified that the show will be canon to the Dcu and that he will make it work in a way that is...

Confirmation of ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2’s development came in February 2022, amid significant changes as the Dceu transitioned into the Dcu under Gunn and Safran’s leadership. With numerous projects scheduled for release in phase 1, titled “Gods & Monsters,” fans have eagerly anticipated the placement of ‘Peacemaker’ in this evolving landscape.
Despite an extended pre-production phase, the cast, led by John Cena as Peacemaker, remained remarkably consistent. Steve Agee portrayed John Economos, the warden at Belle Reve Penitentiary, while Danielle Brooks embodied Leota Adebayo, a key member of the Suicide Squad. Jennifer Holland took on the role of Emilia Harcourt, an A.R.G.U.S. agent closely involved with the Squad, and Freddie Stroma played Vigilante, a character known for his inclination towards lethal justice.
In a recent update, Danielle Brooks shared exciting news about ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 with Deadline. According to her estimates, production for the new season is anticipated to commence later this year,...

‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 was confirmed to be in development in February 2022. Since then, a lot has changed, the most drastic change definitely being Dceu transitioning into Dcu under the leadership of Gunn and Safran. While a lot of projects are scheduled to be released as a part of phase 1, aptly titled “Gods & Monsters,” fans have long wondered where Peacemaker’ fits into it all.
We know that the show was in pre-production for a long time, and the cast remained pretty much consistent. John Cena stars as Peacemaker, a government agent committed to achieving peace at any cost. Steve Agee plays John Economos, the warden at Belle Reve Penitentiary. Danielle Brooks portrays Leota Adebayo, a member of the Suicide Squad. Jennifer Holland is Emilia Harcourt, an A.R.G.U.S. agent closely working with the Squad. Freddie Stroma takes on the role of Vigilante, a character with a penchant for lethal justice.

The Dceu (DC Extended Universe) era of DC Comics film and TV adaptations has come to an end, making way for the Dcu (DC Universe) that’s going to be overseen by producers James Gunn and Peter Safran… but there is one Dceu project that’s going to make the transition between universes: the Max TV series Peacemaker, which was created by Gunn and serves as a spin-off from his Dceu film The Suicide Squad. Although season 1 of the show was produced during the Dceu era, Gunn is going to make season 2 part of the Dcu era, right after he makes his Dcu Superman movie Superman: Legacy. Interacting with fans on Threads, Gunn promised that Peacemaker shifting from Dceu to Dcu isn’t going to be confusing.

In the upcoming DC Universe show, Creature Commandos, actor David Harbour is set to bring a fresh spin to the iconic character of Frankenstein. Harbour, renowned for his role in Stranger Things, shared insights into this unique portrayal during the BoxLunch Holiday Gala.
The actor’s involvement in Creature Commandos marks a new chapter in his career, showcasing his versatility. Harbour’s past performance in Netflix’s Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein differs significantly from his latest role. He explains,
It’s the mind of James Gunn so it is wacky and strange, but also full of a lot of depth and complexity.
This highlights his journey from a comedic portrayal to a character layered with humor and depth.
Harbour’s enthusiasm for the role is evident. He finds the duality of Frankenstein’s monster – an intellectual dream turned monstrous reality – fascinating. This complexity, he believes, paves the way...

Now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over, the floodgates are opening as actors are once again free to discuss the projects they’re involved in. David Harbour spoke with io9 about playing Eric Frankenstein in Creature Commandos, the upcoming animated series which will serve as the first official project in the new DC Universe.
David Harbour was full of praise for the character of Frankenstein, both in literature and the Creature Commandos series. “The most interesting thing to me about Frankenstein’s monster in general is that he was created to be this sort of erudite, intellectual, romantic, brilliant person, and he winds up being a monster,” Harbour said. “I mean, that complexity can make for some pretty ripe comedy and also pathos—that a guy who considers himself one thing, is viewed by others as something very different. That’s the broadest, most mysterious way I can put it,...

Chapter One of James Gunn's new cinematic DC Comics universe is titled "Gods and Monsters." This phrase goes back to a line of dialogue from Dr. Septimus Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger) in James Whale's "Bride of Frankenstein." How fitting then that "Gods and Monsters" kicks off with a Frankenstein-inspired animated TV series: "Creature Commandos."
The premise is simple: A World War II comic in the vein of Marvel's "Sergeant Fury and his Howling Commandos" but with Universal Horror monsters. The original line-up was Lieutenant Matthew Shrieve (a normal human team leader), Sergeant Vincent Velcoro (a vampire), Private Lucky Taylor (a Frankenstein-ian homunculus), Private Warren Griffith (a werewolf), and team medic Dr. Myrra Rhodes (a Medusa-esque Gorgon).
The team was created by legendary writer J.M. DeMatteis and artist Pat Broderick; the Creature Commandos debuted in 1980's "Weird War Tales" #93. Now, an updated version of the team will make it...

After decades spent firmly in the zeitgeist, the pop cultural legacy of "Star Trek" shows up in some unexpected places -- like an episode of Guillermo del Toro's horror anthology directed by "Mandy" filmmaker Panos Cosmatos. In a recent interview with Variety, production designer Tamara Deverell described the process of building the set for "The Interview," an episode of "Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities" that takes place largely inside a hazy, orange, retro-futuristic room.
Fans of "Cabinet of Curiosities" will remember "The Interview" as perhaps the show's trippiest installment. The hour stars comedians Eric André, Steve Agee, and Charlyne Yi, plus actress (and future "Rebel Moon" star) Sofia Boutella, actor Michael Therriault, and screen legend Peter Weller. In what appears to be a curious slow-burn experiment, a group of disparate people -- including a psychic, novelist, record producer, and astrophysicist -- are gathered together in a drug-filled mansion...

DC co-Boss James Gunn took to Instagram’s Threads to field fan questions, and in the process confirmed that Xolo Maridueña will continue to play Blue Beetle, Oscar winner Viola Davis will still be Amanda Waller and John Cena will remain Peacemaker.
Much of this isn’t shocking, as Gunn has already specified on social that Maridueña will continue to play Blue Beetle in the DC universe, this despite the fact that the Latino superhero movie performed so-so at the box office, earning over $70M domestic, and $125M WW. In addition, we already knew that a season 2 of Peacemaker on Max was in the works.

Writer and Actress Felicia Day stopped by San Diego Comic-Con along with some of her cast from her new story “Third Eye.” Day is the creator and star of the web series The Guild (2007–2013), a show loosely based on her life as a gamer. As an actress, Day has played Vi in the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2003) and Dr. Holly Marten in Eureka (2011) and had a recurring role as Charlie Bradbury on Supernatural (2012–2015, 2018–2020).
According to Audible, “Third Eye” is about the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel’s performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop.
Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel’s the resident pariah of the magic realm.

We’ve lost count of how many times we wrote about Dceu ending and Dcu kicking off to replace it soon. We are all very familiar with the situation, and right now, we can only wait to see what Dcu has in store for us once Dceu releases the last two movies on its slate; ‘Blue Beetle,’ which is only a few days away, and ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ which will be released this December. In 2024, we can expect an Elseworlds movie ‘Joker: Folie à Deux.’ But, before Dcu kicks off with ‘Superman: Legacy’ in 2025, the first of many projects that Gunn announced earlier this year, ‘Creature Commandos,’ will also premiere in 2024.

There are some actors who, once they dip their fingers into the comic book genre, they’re here to stay. David Harbour is certainly one of those actors. Harbour started his career playing supporting roles in various movies and tv shows before he gained wider recognition thanks to the role of Jim Hopper in Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things,’ which launched his career to a higher level. After that, it was a matter of time before he joined some big franchises like Marvel and DC. And check this out; now he’s part of both.
Maybe you didn’t even notice it at first, but Harbour played a minor role in David Ayer’s ‘Suicide Squad’ in 2016. He played Dexter Tolliver, a National Security Advisor for the President, who supported Amanda Waller’s idea of Task Force X, commonly known as Suicide Squad. In 2020, Harbour debuted in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Alexei Shostakov,...

One of those projects is Creature Commandos, an animated series which features a black ops team consisting of monstrous prisoners formed by Amanda Waller. While speaking with Collider (before the SAG-AFTRA strike), David Harbour teased the Creature Commandos is “wildly funny.“
“I didn’t know what it was when it was sent to me; I met with James, and he sort of laid out a lot of stuff,” David Harbour says. “It’s really exciting. He considers it some of the best stuff he’s ever written. It’s hilarious, and the character is great. I think it’s been announced that it’s Frankenstein, and it’s a very colorful, terrific character.

Everyone who considers himself a DC fan already knows that DC Extended Universe is counting down its last few months of existence, with only two movies left to be released by the end of this year. The second-to-last Dceu movie ‘Blue Beetle’ is less than two weeks away, and after that, we’ll only need to wait for December 20, when ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ will finally put this dying cinematic universe in the past.
DC fans already know what to expect from Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios post-dceu. Next year we’re looking forward to the Elseworlds project ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ a sequel to 2019’s ‘Joker,’ which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, out of which the main star Joaquin Phoenix won the award for Best Actor. ‘Folie à Deux’ is currently the only theatrical DC movie set to be released in 2024, but there are some other projects as well,...

Orchestrating a reboot of a single property is tricky, but reintroducing audiences to a universe is far more complex. Do you start from scratch? Do you keep certain characters because of their established history and fan appeal? Does rewriting a world mean everything that came before is moot? These likely are some of the questions DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran asked themselves when shaping the new DC Universe. Thankfully, Gunn isn’t shy about engaging with fans and recently clarified when the new Dcu canon begins.

Production designer Tamara Deverell was tasked with creating eight different periods and working with eight different directors for Netflix’s “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.”
The anthology series required Deverell, 2020’s artisan award recipient for production design, to tap into her love for building gritty sets and build everything from a brutalist architecture room inspired by her work on “Star Trek: Discovery” to using an old warehouse for an alien autopsy.
Here Deverell breaks down some of her favorite sets from the series.
“Lot 36″
The first episode tells the story of Tim Blake Nelson as Nick Appleton, who purchases the titular Lot 36 from a recently deceased old man and discovers strange items such as a séance table and rare books. However, the Lot also holds dark demonic secrets
What were some initial conversations you had about the set build for this?

The next era of the DC Cinematic Universe is kicking into gear with news from "Creature Commandos," the weirdest upcoming title from the era of James Gunn and Peter Safran's leadership. The animated series brings back everyone's favorite disgusting creature Weasel alongside other wacky heroes like a mermaid doctor, the bride of Frankenstein, and *checks notes* military man Rick Flag Sr. Yes, Flag — the only member of the squad who could walk the streets without causing panic — is definitely the odd one out. The team of weirdos (and Rick Flag) are more than just their looks, though — they now have voices in the form of some very recognizable actors. The "Creature Commandos" voice cast has officially been unveiled to include David Harbour, Indira Varma, Alan Tudyk, Maria Bakalova, Zoe Chao, and more.
