Soon after James Gunn announced that the Justice League in his new Dcu would be played by an entirely different cast, the fans started to speculate several names. After David Corenswet was cast as the new Superman, the fan-casting for the other members also gained hype.
Gal Gadot gained widespread praise for her portrayal of Wonder Woman in the Dceu. She even had a threequel planned before it was scrapped by James Gunn. Despite being disappointed, the fans have been keen to know who will play the next Diana Prince. Now, it looks like people have come up with a new name who can be perfect in the role- Charlee Fraser.

In 2018, a study from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany reported that two-thirds of millennials don’t know what Auschwitz is. For filmmaker Joe Berlinger, this finding sparked a question: Are the atrocities committed during World War II by Hitler and the Third Reich being lost to modern memory?
“It shocks me the degree to which people are unaware of or have forgotten this history,” Berlinger told Netflix. “This is the right time to retell this story for a younger generation as a cautionary tale — and on a global scale.”
This is not the first time commentators have warned against the danger of forgetting the lessons of the Holocaust. A similar “wave of amnesia” had been noted in America leading up to the 1960 publication of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, journalist William...

Despite mostly positive initial reactions, Patty Jenkins Wonder Woman 1984 was widely panned by critics and fans alike when it was released, but the movie does still have its share of loyal supporters - and can count one of its stars among them.
After being killed off at the end of the first movie, Chris Pine's Steve Trevor returned under somewhat bizarre circumstances in the sequel for a reunion with Gal Gadot's Amazonian hero. In the end, Diana was forced to "wish" Trevor back out of existence in order to defeat Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal), and the couple shared an emotional farewell.
While chatting about his most iconic roles with Entertainment Weekly, Pine defended WW84, and said he believed the movie was given such a hard time because it focused more on "forgiveness and compassion" than the usual superhero fare.

With Gunn and Safran spearheading the Dcu reboot, it was announced that nearly all projects affiliated with the Dceu would be scrapped, with most of the original cast not reprising their roles.
This included the cancellation, or at least postponement, of the ‘Wonder Woman’ franchise, including a planned third installment directed by Jenkins and starring Gadot as Wonder Woman.
Patty Jenkins opted out of directing ‘Rogue Squadron’ in favor of helming the potential third ‘Wonder Woman’ installment. Despite Gunn and Safran’s Dceu overhaul into the Dcu, there was lingering optimism from both Jenkins and Gadot for their return to the project, until its eventual confirmation that it wouldn’t materialize.
Chris Pine, who played Steve Trevor, Wonder Woman’s significant love interest and a prominent character in Diana’s narrative, recently expressed his surprise at the Dcu’s decision to not continue Diana’s story.

With Gunn’s and Safran’s reboot of the Dcu, came the news that pretty much all projects that were under the Dceu umbrella would be canceled and that almost none of the cast would return to reprise their roles.
Of course, that also meant canceling the ‘Wonder Woman’ franchise or at the least, a planned third movie that Jenkins was supposed to direct and Gadot return to star as Wonder Woman.
Patty Jenkins even walked away from directing ‘Rogue Squadron’ to direct the potential third installment. Even after Gunn and Safran rebooted the Dceu into Dcu some semblance of hope remained both for Jenkins and Gadot that they will return to the Wonder Woman project, until it was ultimately confirmed that this isn’t happening.

Will Gal Gadot become one of the few Dceu actors to reprise their characters in the Dcu?
If you've lost score at home, the important tidbits to remember regarding the current status of Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is that James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled the Dcu film slate in January 2023 and it was absent a standalone Wonder Woman movie.
Yet, despite that fact, in August 2023, Gal Gadot told the media that she had met with Gunn and Safran and had been assured that she would be returning to the role.
Since then, there's been a series of conflicting rumors and reports that state that Gadot will be back as Wonder Woman or that she's out.

As we know, Wonder Woman 3 is no longer moving forward now that James Gunn and Peter Safran have taken over DC Studios, but it’s a choice Chris Pine doesn’t understand.
Chris Pine. who played Steve Trevor in Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984, told Business Insider that he was “stunned” when he learned Wonder Woman 3 had been axed. “I’m stunned that they said no to a billion-dollar franchise and decided to pivot elsewhere,” Pine said “I don’t know what the reasoning was behind that; it’s above my pay grade, but Wonder Woman is an incredible character; Patty is such a thoughtful director.”
The actor had no expectations that he would have been involved in the third movie. “Me. No. Homie is dead. Steve is gonzo,” he said. “It would be ridiculous to try to bring me back.” Trevor was killed off in the first Wonder Woman...

A third Wonder Woman movie was in development at Warner Bros. right up until James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of the relaunched DC Studios, and the decision to scrap the project came as a surprise to a lead actor from the previous films.
While promoting his new movie, Poolman, during an interview with Business Insider, Chris Pine (Steve Trevor) said he was "shocked" that the studio would pull the plug on a franchise that took in almost $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

In early 2023, James Gunn and Peter Safran introduced their rebooted universe named Dcu, unveiling a comprehensive lineup of projects. The most recent release in the Dceu was ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ last year, which achieved some success, especially compared to many MCU films from that year that struggled with critics and box office performance.
In January, Gunn and Safran revealed the initial projects of the Dcu lineup and announced the team of writers responsible for crafting the overarching story: Drew Goddard, Jeremy Slater, Christina Hodson, Christal Henry, and Tom King. They outlined a plan spanning eight to ten years, divided into “chapters,” with potential for further expansion. The first chapter, ‘Gods and Monsters,’ featured films like ‘Superman’ (originally titled ‘Superman: Legacy’), ‘The Authority,’ ‘The Brave and the Bold,’ ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ and ‘Swamp Thing,’ alongside television series such as ‘Creature Commandos,’ ‘Waller,’ ‘Lanterns,’ ‘Paradise Lost,’ and ‘Booster Gold....

The second season (or “Part”) of The Jinx is arriving on HBO nine years after the conclusion of the first and, wholly coincidentally, right on the eve of the Jewish observance of Passover.
This timing has me thinking of “Dayenu,” the festive song in which we recite the various miracles of the Exodus, one at a time and each followed by the declaration of “Dayenu,” meaning “It would have been enough.” So… Leading us out of Egypt (“Dayenu!”), parting the Red Sea (“Dayenu!”), giving us the Torah (“Dayenu!”) and so on.
When it comes to the first six episodes of The Jinx, it goes something like: If it had just been an exceptionally well-produced depiction of a twisty, unresolved series of murders tied to real estate mogul Robert Durst? Dayenu! (Or it would have been enough for a generally enthusiastic review.)

Zack Snyder’s Dceu didn’t do well because it was too dark and the stories didn’t always make sense. People didn’t always like his choices. Eventually, James Gunn and Peter Safran took over with their Dcu. Some people liked Snyder’s style, but others thought it was too bleak and not true to the characters. Even though most people think the Dceu wasn’t great, it did bring out some really popular superhero movies lately.
One of the big hits was “Wonder Woman.” It did really well and showed there could be more stories about her in the Dceu. Then came the sequel, which came out during Covid-19 and did okay, but not as good as the first one.
Snyder had different ideas for the ‘Wonder Woman’ movie at first, calling it ‘Wonder Woman 1854.’ In an interview with Empire Magazine while promoting his new movie ‘Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scavenger,...

Zack Snyder’s Dceu failed due to its darker tone, inconsistent storytelling, and divisive creative choices until it was ultimately replaced by Gunn’s & Safran’s Dcu. While some appreciated his vision, others found it too grim and disconnected from the iconic characters. Still, despite Dceu being mostly bad, according to general consensus it did give rise to some of the most popular superhero movies in the last few years.
Notably, ‘Wonder Woman,’ was a massive hit and opened a lot of possibilities for the character in the Dceu, soon after, the sequel followed, and released during Covid-19 it still managed to be somewhat successful but nowhere near the first installment.

Following the release of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the DC Universe (Dcu) has officially taken over from the DC Extended Universe (Dceu). Now, some of the most iconic characters in comic history are under the direction of Safran and Gunn. The Dcu is set to kick off with the animated show ‘Creature Commandos.’ However, the live-action aspect of this cinematic universe will begin with the release of ‘Superman,’ which both Safran and Gunn consider to be the true start of the Dcu. Several other projects are confirmed to be in development, including ‘The Authority,’ focusing on the team of the same name, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ starring Milly Alcock as Dcu’s Supergirl, and ‘Paradise Lost,’ a TV show centered on Wonder Woman-related lore set on Themyscira.
While key roles like Superman, Lois Lane, and Supergirl have been cast, the identity of the live-action Batman in the Dcu remains unknown.

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman made her debut in the Dcu in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and made a great impression on audiences. They loved Gadot’s charm and ease with which she portrayed the character. Her solo film in 2017 further proved that she was not a fluke and was born to play the character.

In an exciting news for Gto fans, it has been revealed that Tohru Fujiwara’s Gto: Paradise Lost manga is finally resuming serialization after a year long hiatus.
According to an announcement in this year’s 18th issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine, the manga will resume serialization on Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket website under a new title: Gto: Paradise Lost Kai (which translates to Gto: Paradise Lost Renewed) starting April 1, 2024.
Gto: Paradise Lost went on a hiatus on Feb 13, 2023, with the promise of a summer 2023 return. However, those plans fell through, leading to frustration for both readers and the author himself.
In September 2023, Fujisawa took to Twitter to express his disappointment with the publisher’s decision to put the manga on indefinite hold as he felt that the live-action adaptation was being prioritized over the manga. He even hinted at the possibility of seeking a new publisher for the series.

Gunn and Safran took charge of what used to be called Dceu, renaming it as Dcu. Over a year ago, they unveiled their plans for ‘Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters’. By January 2023, the DC cinematic universe was described as undergoing a significant but not total overhaul, planning a multi-year storyline.
James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed the initial projects of this new lineup on January 31. They shared details about the writers behind the overarching story: Drew Goddard, Jeremy Slater, Christina Hodson (who wrote ‘The Flash’), Christal Henry, and comic book writer Tom King.

Although Wonder Woman 1984 was nowhere near as good as its predecessor, there were still plans for Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot to return for Wonder Woman 3. However, that all changed when James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and decided not to move forward with the project. While speaking on the Talking Pictures podcast, Jenkins said that her journey with Wonder Woman is over “for the time being, easily forever.“
Jenkins added that she doesn’t believe DC Studios is “interested in doing any ‘Wonder Woman’ for the time being,” but she doesn’t hold any ill will. “It’s not an easy task, with what’s going on with DC. James Gunn and Peter Safran have to follow their own heart into their own plans,” Jenkins said. “I don’t know what they are planning on doing or why, so I have sympathy for what a...

James Gunn Debunks Wonder Woman Casting Rumors About This Is Going To Replace Gal Gadot In The Dcu ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia; IMDb )
After taking over the DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Safran made many changes. Some of the major ones included not signing back the existing actors—most notably Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot as Superman and Wonder Woman, respectively. However, the co-heads did announce the TV show Paradise Lost, and Diana Prince had a significant role in that.
There had been a rumor that Gunn wants this The Crown star to play the role of the Amazonian princess in the new DC Universe, taking over Gal Gadot. The Israeli actress received a lot of love and admiration as Wonder Woman in the former Dcu. She made her first appearance in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. She then got her solo film, which did well at the theatres.

Gunn and Safran are pushing forward with their revamped Dcu, with several projects currently in the works. One notable project is ‘Superman,’ which recently began filming in Atlanta. Another significant project, ‘Peacemaker,’ was confirmed to be part of the Dcu, with Season 2 already in development. Gunn assured fans that the transition between Dceu and Dcu, at least concerning ‘Peacemaker,’ will be smooth and clear. Gunn also announced that Season 2 of ‘Peacemaker’ is fully written and will receive more attention after ‘Superman’ wraps filming. Recent rumors suggest that filming for ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2 and the upcoming show ‘Waller’ may happen concurrently in 2024, based on information shared by Daniel Richtman on his private Patreon.

Gunn’s and Safran’s newly revamped Dcu is going full steam ahead, as several projects are currently in development, most notably ‘Superman,’ which only recently started filming in Atlanta. One notable project that was retroactively stated to be a part of the Dcu is Gunn’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 not confusing for the fans at all, and that the transition between Dceu and Dcu at least as far as ‘Peacemaker’ is concerned will be as smooth as possible.

The late 1990s had an odd fascination with the Devil and the end of days that gave audiences all kinds of crazy films with varied levels of success. Most of these seemed to come out right around 1999, the end of the millennium when people were starting to panic. However, some of these end of days films came out earlier and set the trend. 1997 was an odd year that saw the release of Dante’s Peak, The Devil’s Own, Volcano, the original Open Your Eyes, Seven Years in Tibet, and a bunch more. There was a trend for the end of days, but also a search for religion which then led to the perfect storm of both with The Devil’s Advocate (watch it Here), a bit end of days, a bit of religious mayhem, and a whole lot of cautionary tale.

Micheline Presle, the standout French actress who starred in the controversial Devil in the Flesh before making a foray into Hollywood that included roles opposite John Garfield, Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn and Paul Newman, has died. She was 101.
Presle died Wedneday in the Paris suburb of Nogent-sur-Marne, her son-in-law Olivier Bomsel told Le Figaro.
Presle came to international attention when she portrayed a nurse having an affair with a student (Gérard Philipe) in the World War I drama Devil in the Flesh (1947), which the National Board of Review voted as one of the 10 best films of the year.
Because it featured a woman who took a lover while her husband was away at war, it generated a great deal of discussion.
In 1949, Presle met American actor William Marshall, who had been married to another French star, Michèle Morgan, and followed him to America. They would wed that year in Santa Barbara.

Sheila Nevins has produced documentaries for most of her professional life. But at 84, she’s still notching career firsts.
Last month, Nevins added “Oscar-nominated director” to her résumé, having landed her first nod for co-directing the short “The ABCs of Book Banning” with Trish Adlesic and Nazenet Habtezghi.
Nevins’ first Oscars as a nominee take place at the same time she is wrapping up her run as the head of MTV Documentary Films. Nevins joined the company in 2019 after 38 years at HBO.
“I went there to raise the bar for the intellectual quotient of what MTV could produce in the documentary arena,” Nevins says. “I did highbrow and lowbrow at HBO, but when I got to MTV, I just did highbrow.”
On Nevins’ watch, MTV produced 40 docs and landed five Oscar nominations, including a feature doc bid this year for “The Eternal Memory.”

With the debut of ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the Dceu gracefully bows out, paving the way for Gunn’s and Safran’s Dcu to take the reins. For the past year, it’s been clear that the Dcu will emulate the successful structure of the MCU, with planned phases or “chapters.” The inaugural chapter, ‘Gods & Monsters,’ was announced, with ‘Creature Commandos’ leading the charge. However, Gunn has revealed that ‘Superman: Legacy’ will serve as the unofficial launch of this new era.
One significant transition involves ‘Peacemaker,’ shifting from the Dceu to the freshly established Dcu. Gunn has assured fans that ‘Peacemaker’ Season 2, already in the works, will seamlessly integrate into the Dcu canon, promising a smooth transition and clarity for viewers.

After ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,’ the DC Universe (Dcu) officially assumed control from the Dceu, placing iconic comic characters under the guidance of Safran and Gunn. Although the animated show ‘Creature Commandos’ is intended to inaugurate the Dcu, the live-action dimension commences with the release of ‘Superman: Legacy,’ identified by Safran and Gunn as the true starting point of the Dceu. Other confirmed projects include ‘The Authority,’ centered on the eponymous team, ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ featuring Milly Alcock as Dcu’s Supergirl, and ‘Paradise Lost,’ a TV series delving into Wonder Woman-themed narratives on Themyscira.
Despite casting major roles like Superman, Lois Lane, and Supergirl, the live-action Batman in the Dcu remains unknown. According to Charles Murphy, the next significant role the studio is set to cast is that of the Caped Crusader, with a casting call anticipated to be released “very soon.”

"If [Darth] Vader is the great dark icon of our times, I'm blacker than him. I'm the blackest of the black," said Ian McDiarmid when speaking to Empire Magazine about his role as Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious, master of Vader and greatest villain of the "Star Wars" saga.
"Star Wars" emphasizes how the dark side leads to misery; Vader's portrayal across the original trilogy is about the rediscovery of humanity buried within a monster. Palpatine is the exception; he's an enigmatic sadist utterly devoid of conscience or attachment.
In the prequel trilogy chronicling his rise to Emperor, Palpatine orchestrates an invasion of his homeworld in a complex plot to ride the sympathy vote to the Chancellorship, sparks a ruinous galactic civil war, and ultimately ends 1000 years of democracy (though some might argue that he just hastened the end of the Republic's corrupt husk).

There’s no IP more innately suited for adaptation as a pure two-hander than the tale of Adam and Eve, a story in which, initially at least, there are no other characters, excepting the creator of the universe, who quickly gets relegated to a supporting role in the wake of more fleshed-out human leads. Legendary television scenarist Ed. Weinberger has finally done the obvious and turned it into a two-person play in the style of “Love Letters,” read aloud from scripts, like A.R. Gurney’s highly portable, bare-bones model. Weinberger’s take on the world’s favorite creation myth, “The Journals of Adam and Eve,” premiered over the weekend with a very limited run at L.A.’s 110-seat Garry Marshall Theatre, where a total of six audiences saw that it was… good.

“Griselda” is a revenge story. Yes, it’s an account of real-life drug queenpin Griselda Blanco’s (an engrossing Sofía Vergara) rise to The Godmother of the Medellín Cartel. But this tale isn’t an account of some distressed damsel who gets swept up in the underworld. Instead, what creator Eric Newman offers is a window into the mind of a highly meticulous and intelligent woman, intent on taking back everything that was ever stolen from her, even if she destroys herself in the process. Fast-paced and well-acted, the show is brutal, fascinating and full of high drama. It all begins with a bold escape.
Produced by the team behind “Narcos,” the limited series opens in the late 1970s in Medellín, Columbia. An obviously distressed, injured Griselda rushes in the front door of her well-curated home. She makes a frantic phone call to a friend, Carmen (Paulina Dávila), before packing...

Over the past 40-plus years, no figure in American documentary has been more important than Sheila Nevins. She has produced or executive produced hundreds of documentaries for HBO and more recently for MTV Documentary Films. And she’s won 32 Emmys, more than any single person.
But there’s one credit that hasn’t been attached to her name, until now: director. At the age of 84, Nevins has added that title to her long list of accomplishments with The ABCs of Book Banning, an Oscar-contending short documentary about increasingly aggressive efforts by conservatives to keep certain published works out of the hands of schoolchildren.
Nevins joins the latest episode of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast to discuss her directorial debut, which she explains was inspired by seeing a viral video of a 100-year-old woman taking on the Martin County School Board in Florida. Grace Linn, who has since turned 101, denounced board...

It was around Halloween 1956, the same week of Elvis Presley’s second appearance on Ed Sullivan.
My parents often let me stay up and watch late movies. Adventure stuff mainly: Tarzan, tiger hunters, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry. Earlier that year, the first monster I met was King Kong, when my father introduced me to him late one night.
One evening a couple of weeks later, my father said, “I have something special for you tonight.” It was James Whale’s 1931 Frankenstein.
My mother wasn’t happy.

All three are set to reprise their roles in the animated series ‘Creature Commandos’ which will be the first Dcu project.
Taking to his personal Threads account, the ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ director confirmed that Xolo will be coming back as Blue Beetle, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller and John Cena as the Peacemaker.

This arc will later also introduce characters such as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and more, though much later.
