Last year, the new co-chairmen and co-CEOs of DC Studios, Gunn & Safran, revealed plans to transition from Dceu to the newly named “Dcu” and reboot the cinematic universe. They introduced the initial lineup of movies for the first chapter called ‘Gods & Monsters,’ which includes ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.’
Not much is known about the movie except that it’s adapted from Tom King’s comic book series ‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow,’ illustrated by Bilquis Evely, and the screenplay was written by Ana Nogueira. It’s considered one of the most intriguing ‘Supergirl’ stories so far. Recently, it was announced that Milly Alcock, known for her role in ‘House of the Dragon,’ will portray Supergirl, and now it appears the movie may have found its director.
According to Deadline, Craig Gillespie, known for his diverse directing portfolio including ‘Lars and the Real Girl,’ ‘I, Tonya,’ and ‘Cruella,’ is in discussions...

If you're a big fan of DC Comics - and the movies and TV series inspired by them - it's a bit of a confusing time. DC Studios is still planning on releasing "The Flash," "Blue Beetle," and "Aquaman 2" this year, but after that, the universe is undergoing a bit of a hard reboot under the direction of new co-chair and CEO of DC Studios James Gunn.
Gunn - who also helmed the "Guardians of the Galaxy" films for Marvel - and Peter Safran joined the company as its new leaders in November 2022, and in January, they announced a new slate of film and TV projects they're calling "chapter one" of the new DC universe. Their plans include a movie titled "Superman: Legacy," which Gunn himself will be writing and directing. But some fans have worried that means a previously announced Superman movie from Ta-Nehisi Coates and J. J. Abrams won't be happening anymore.

The Reign of the Supermen is coming! Maybe. As James Gunn prepares to officially close up his tenure in the MCU with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, attention is increasingly turning toward his next directorial effort, and not just because it’s his first as co-head of DC Studios. Superman: Legacy brings a new Man of Steel to the DC Universe, and pushes Gunn into unfamiliar territory.
But before Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC’s movie efforts, WB was already in the process of developing a Superman movie, a project from J. J. Abrams, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, that would feature a Black Superman. Most assumed that Abrams and Coates’s project was canceled when it was not included in Gunn’s announcement of the upcoming Dcu slate. But in a recent conversation with io9, Gunn confirms that Superman: Legacy does not negate Abrams and Coates’ project.

Filmmaker James Gunn has announced that pre-production on ‘Superman: Legacy’ has officially begun.
Sharing the news via his social media pages, the filmmaker posted a picture of the script which he wrote, but it only showed the cover page.
“I’m honoured to be a part of the legacy. And what better day than #SupermanAnniversary Day to dive fully into early pre-production on #SupermanLegacy?” he wrote in the caption, adding, “Costumes, production design, and more now up and running.”
On Twitter, Gunn also engaged in a conversation with fans who wondered who gave him notes on the script if he, at the same time, is the co-head of DC Studios. “Listening to constructive criticism is the lifeblood for any writer,” he responded to the question, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The Batman now has a solid premiere date on HBO Max. The Warner Brothers blockbuster will launch on the streaming service on Monday, April 18, and also will air on HBO on Satuday, April 23 at 8 Pm Et.
It was expected that the Matt Reeves-helmed pic, starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne, would land on HBO Max in late April. A tech glitch on the HBO website last month briefly posted the date of April 19 for the HBO Max launch before it was taken down. All Warner Bros. theatrical releases are slated to hit the streaming service 45 days after their debut in cinemas. The pic has grossed 735 million worldwide, 359 million domestic.
HBO Max also has given a straight-to-series order to the pic’s spinoff series The Penguin, which will see Colin Farrell reprise his villainous role...

Warner Bros/DC’s The Batman has winged its way past the half a billion dollar mark worldwide to become the fourth highest-grossing studio release of the pandemic era. The global total is $505.8M through Wednesday, and there’s still plenty of gas left in the Batmobile.
The split on the critically praised, Matt Reeves-directed pic is $258.3M domestic and $247.5M through yesterday at the international box office.
Robert Pattinson’s turn in the Batsuit started offshore rollout early in Korea on March 1, and across its first weekend in 74 overseas markets bowed to $124.2M. This repped the top international opening of 2022, WB’s best pandemic-era offshore debut and its best internationally since Joker in October 2019 — as well as the 3rd biggest overseas pandemic-era debut in like-for-like markets behind Spider-Man: No Way Home and No Time To Die.
The global launch including domestic’s $134M was $258.2M, smashing WB’s pandemic-era records.

Matt Reeves’ upcoming film The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, will be the longest Dark Knight pic in history at a runtime of two hours and 55 minutes, Deadline has confirmed. The news first surfaced as the film received its PG-13 rating from the MPAA.
Set for release in the U.S. on March 4, The Batman is also one of the longest superhero films in history, boasting eight minutes’ worth of credits alone. It follows Avengers: Endgame, which came in at three hours and one minute, as the longest to hit theaters. And while Zack Snyder’s Justice League went straight to HBO Max last March, it’s the longest overall, at a runtime of four hours and two minutes.
The past Batman films closest to Reeves’ in length are Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, and Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which came in at the same length as the first Dark Knight.

The program is aimed at developing the original action movie pitches and scripts of women writers.
Creating systemic change in Hollywood takes intentional, sustained action—and putting the money where the mouth is. That's exactly what Birds of Prey co-workers Margot Robbie and screenwriter Christina Hodson (Bumblebee) are doing with the Lucky Exports Pitch Program, a new writing program aimed at increasing the number of women writing action-driven movies.
According to THR, the Lucly Exports Pitch Program—named after Robbie and Hodson's respective companies (LuckyChap Entertainment and Hodson Exports)— has selected six women to participate in a four-week program that will give them a chance to break, outline, and develope their original action film ideas into studio ready pitches. The end goal? To "bring the writers the exposure and experience they need in order to become go-to names for studio/franchise jobs."

Warner Bros. and DC Films are in early development on “Plastic Man,” a movie based on DC Comics’ quirky character who debuted in 1941.
Amanda Idoko, who wrote the upcoming Allison Janney-Laura Dern-starrer “Breaking News in Yuba County,” has been hired to write “Plastic Man.” Bob Shaye, the co-founder of New Line Cinema, will executive produce. No director is currently attached to the pic.

Nobody likes an unsolicited cold-call, but author Mitch Albom must have been pleased to hear that Warner Bros. would be acquiring his bestselling novel, The First Phone Call From Heaven, with a view to making it into a successful movie. Denise Dinovi and Alison Greenspan are set to produce, with Chantal Nong and Cate Adams shepherding the project for the studio.
The story details the response of townsfolk when phones start ringing in Coldwater, Mi. As the callers claim to be reaching out from heaven, reactions of residents differ wildly, and a grieving single father decides to investigate the origins of the calls.
With the purchase of source material having just been made, cast and crew are not yet officially in place. However, the synopsis feels like it lands squarely in the wheelhouse of Johnny Depp, or Nicholas Cage, or perhaps even John Cusack? It will certainly be interesting to...
