DC's Most Prestigious Project Is In The Early Development Along With Many Others

Los Angeles, October 17 - Warner Bros. hasn't been able to align its DC projects and give them better treatment despite endless possibilities. One of the popular DC characters who have a huge influence on the audiences, Superman hasn't been able to find a place in the DC universe for more than 5 years. ## The popular superhero role, played by Henry Cavill, was last seen in "Justice League" (not counting Zack Snyder's Justice League) but since then, the studio couldn't find ways to bring back the character despite the rumors. ## It is said that Warner Bros. executive, Walter Hamada was against the idea of bringing Henry Cavill back as Superman, and now, with his exit, things are shaping up nicely at Warner Bros. regarding DC's future projects, and in what could be the turning point of DC future, the studio has greenlit multiple projects, including "Superman" sequel.## According to THR, bringing back Cavill for another Superman movie is at the top of the list for Warner Bros. executives and are reportedly looking for writers for a "Man of Steel" sequel produced by Charles Roven. There have been rumors about the "Superman" sequel, and the studio is finally officially setting it.## Interestingly, Dwayne Johnson, who makes his DC debut with the forthcoming "Black Adam" movie, has been quite vocal about the "Black Adam vs. Superman" movie and believed that it was the main purpose of introducing Black Adam in the DCEU. The Rock has also teased the cameo of Henry Cavill as Superman in Black Adam, which has further boosted the chance of bringing two characters against each other. ## Apart from the "Superman" sequel, Warner Bros. has also reportedly set the "The Flash" sequel and it is said that the scripting has already been written. Apart from that, James Gunn has been working on a secret DC movie while Matt Reeves is already developing a sequel to his "The Batman", which was released earlier in March this year and grossed over $770 million worldwide. "Joker 2" is also in development and is scheduled for October 2024 release while "Wonder Woman 3" with Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins is also in the works.## Stay tuned...

Los Angeles, October 13 - One of the most-anticipated superhero films of the year, Black Adam is just a week away from its global release. Based on DC Comics' iconic anti-hero character, "Black Adam" features Dwayne Johnson in the title role along with Pierce Brosnan, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, and Quintessa Swindell in prominent roles. ## Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the "Black Adam" world premiere took place on Wednesday night (October 12), allowing audiences to see what Dwayne Johnson and director Collet-Serra were able to put together. The embargo for those who saw the movie early lifted and they took to social media to share their thoughts on this DCEU movie. ## While the movie mostly getting positive reactions from the critics and other people, the action sequences of the film seems to be the biggest heighlight as almost all critics are talking highly of that aspects. Have a look at some of the reactions on the movie. ## There is some really excellent world building in this film - some of the best we’ve seen from DC. Comic book films that have momentum, emotion and a strong layered mythology are always the most entertaining to me. #BlackAdam also left me wanting more, which is what you want imo pic.twitter.com/wJUXAtuEdI— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) October 13, 2022 ## #BlackAdam is built on some epic, non-stop action. It made me want a sequel with a smoother story immediately.When it moves, it’s a straight shot of adrenaline. The characters are dope, especially Teth-Adam and Doctor Fate. It’s a bad-ass film. pic.twitter.com/XeMFgcB3OG— BD (@BrandonDavisBD) October 13, 2022 ## I have seen #BlackAdam! This was one of my most anticipated films of the year, and it did not disappoint. The action sequences were incredible, especially the ones with the JSA. The Rock crushes it as Black Adam. The film’s end left me with high hopes for the future of the DCEU. pic.twitter.com/vd0Zy35lWT— Dorian Parks (@DorianParksnRec) October 13, 2022 ## #BlackAdam is a game-changer!! This is the #DCComics movie I’ve been waiting for & it did not disappoint. @TheRock is electrifyingly brutal as Black Adam! This is what I wanted Black Adam to be. The action in the film is non-stop & seeing the #JSA on the big screen was a thrill! pic.twitter.com/NigTxsfmd7— Joseph Deckelmeier #BlackLivesMatter (@Joelluminerdi) October 13, 2022 ## Sadly, #BlackAdam isn’t the success WB needed.It’s filled with clunky exposition, has a forgettable villain, and feels like it’s just going through the motions.Dr. Fate was easily the best part, but Atom Smasher falls flat.There’s some fun, but overall, it’s forgettable. pic.twitter.com/vYk52vBuDr— Russ Milheim (@RussMilheim) October 13, 2022 ## .@TheRock is terrific in #BlackAdam, which includes a hearty amount of real world touchstones (most affecting is it reinforces the need for heroes in bleak times).

Action is lively & BIG in scale. pic.twitter.com/pDBkSHRDrI— My Scary Name *is* Courtney Howard (@Lulamaybelle) October 13, 2022 ## #BlackAdam is the most fun I've had watching a DC film in theaters since BvS. The film is huge in scale, epic & that post credits Scene which we all know what it is got the biggest cheer since Endgame imo. The JSA are all fantastic & the film sets up a bright DCEU future. Love It pic.twitter.com/bbsi8tJPgH— SuperheroesNow (@SuperheroesNow) October 13, 2022 ## #BlackAdam struggles to find its footing at first but once the Justice Society enters it becomes more fun to watch.

Tom Holland's Next Spider-Man Movie Release Date Reportedly Revealed

Los Angeles, October 12 - Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures' Spider-Man: No Way Home was a huge blockbuster and the anticipation for the next Spider-Man movie is already sky-high. ## Even before "No Way Home" was released in December last year, Sony executive Amy Pascal had confirmed the development of the next installment of this blockbuster and one of the most loved franchises globally. But with not much immediate development on Spider-Man 4 from the studios, it was unlikely to release anytime soon. However, the latest rumor is telling a different story and this is exciting to the audience.## According to Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have reportedly set the release date of "Spider-Man 4" on July 12, 2024. This is rather quick than anyone would have thought and if proven true, it will join Marvel's packed Phase 5 slate in 2024 alongside Captain America: New World Order, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and the recently announced Deadpool 3. ## Now, what is interesting about the "Spider-Man 4" rumour is the timeline it will be set in in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As per the same report, Spider-Man 4 story will more likely be a street-level story, which may actually handle the aftermath of Marvel's Disney+ series "Daredevil: Born Again". How the Disney+ show will play a role in the upcoming film, remains to be seen. ## The fact that MCU's Phase 5 slate will have to make major changes in release dates if the rumor about "Spider-Man 4" meets reality. The already announced "Thunderbolts" is slated for July 26, 2024, only 12 days after the rumored Spider-Man release. But the good thing is, Marvel is used to such developments as the same thing happened last year when major Marvel movies were shifted to make way for one another, and interestingly, "No Way Home" was the center point of that change. So, it is possible that Spider-Man again forces Marvel to change its plans. ## Stay tuned...

It's not a sequel, not an existing IP. It was... you know, Black Adam. Two years ago the world had no idea who he was. We did, but not the rest of the masses out there. What I really meant by, 'This is a new era in the DC Universe', is listening to the fans. And doing our best to give the fans what they want", he added.## Johnson further said, "I have been listening and I've been wanting to address fans for years", regarding the desire to have Black Adam and Superman fight on the big screen.## "I've been waiting for someone to step up and address the fans and say, 'Hey, we hear you", Johnson added. "So finally, after many months turned into many years, we ended up with what we ended up at. And the whole goal and intention now are to this new era, a new time. Now let’s build-out".## There are rumours that Henry Cavill as Superman will appear in "Black Adam", which is scheduled to release on October 20 in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Warner Bros., however, hasn't released anything regarding Cavill's role so there could be a surprise for the fans or it may turn out just a rumor. ## Stay tuned...

Hugh Jackman Returning As Wolverine For 'Deadpool 3' With Ryan Reynolds

Box Office: 'Avatar' Re-Release Beats Combined Re-Release Opening of 'No Way Home' And 'Star Wars' Films

Los Angeles, September 26 - Amid the anticipation of Avatar: The Way of Water, Disney re-released its predecessor Avatar in theaters and getting rich rewards at the box office. ## It has been 13 years since AVATAR was originally released in 2009, but the striking world of Pandora is forcing people to visit theaters to watch the 4K remastered version. The film generated $10 million in North America and $20.5 million internationally for $30.5 million worldwide over the opening weekend of its re-release. ## "We're talking about a film that's 13 years old, which people can watch at home. The big draw is the Imax presentation. 'Avatar' is serving as a reminder of how cool the imagery of Pandora looks on the big screen", says Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst with Comscore. ## The response to the Avatar re-release has been such huge that it beat the new releases as well as the re-release of some of the biggest blockbusters of all time. The movie came above Florence Pugh's "Don't Worry Darling" which grossed $30 million worldwide, though it was the number one movie in North America. ## In terms of recent re-releases, ticket sales for "Avatar", which played in 1,980 theaters, came in 85% ahead of the re-release for "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which grossed $5.4 million from nearly 3900 theaters earlier this month. Domestically, "Avatar" also came above the combined gross collection of the rerelease of "No Way Home" and "Star Wars: Rogue One".## As per Variety, the remastered version of "Avatar" took the No. 1 spot in smaller markets like France ($2.9 million), Italy ($1.5 million), Singapore, and Thailand. Other top territories were Germany ($1.3 million), the United Kingdom ($1.3 million), and Korea ($1.3 million). In India, it grossed approx. $700K over the weekend.## The encouraging box office response to "Avatar" has almost confirmed the massive opening of "Avatar: The Way of Water" which opens in December this year. "Had the re-release underperformed that would be the first indicator that — uh oh — there may be a problem [for the sequel]. But this is very encouraging", Dergarabedian said.## After its latest re-release, "Avatar's" worldwide gross collection reaches $2.87 billion, comfortably sitting at the number one position of all time.## Stay tuned...

I don't ever want the children or their families to be treated in a way where they feel as if they're up against anything at all", Cena said when asked about why he continues granting kids' wishes. ## On the work front, Cena will next be seen in a spy action thriller film "Argylle" which is currently being filmed.

James Cameron Reveals He Rejected 20th Century Fox's Demand To Keep 'Avatar' Short

Los Angeles, September 20 - The Oscar-winning filmmaker James Cameron revealed in a recent interview that he had to disagree with 20th Century Fox Studio to keep his all-time biggest blockbuster Avatar 162 minutes long. ## The filmmaker, in an interview with New York Times, revealed that 20th Century Fox Studio wanted him to trim the movie's flying sequences to keep it shorter. Cameron, however, obviously rejected the studio's notes by telling executives that he directed "Titanic" and thus paid for a large portion of the 20th Century Fox studio lot.## "I think I felt, at the time, that we clashed over certain things", Cameron said to NYT (via Variety). "For example, the studio felt that the film should be shorter and that there was too much flying around on the ikran — what the humans call the banshees. ## "Well, it turns out that's what the audience loved the most, in terms of our exit polling and data gathering. And that's a place where I just drew a line in the sand and said, 'You know what? I made 'Titanic'. This building that we're meeting in right now, this new half-billion dollar complex on your lot? 'Titanic' paid for that, so I get to do this", he said.## After "Avatar" became a massive hit and grossed over $2 billion worldwide, the 20th Century Fox Studio thanked James Cameron, the filmmaker revealed and added that "I felt pretty good about the creative decisions that were made back then".## "Avatar" is returning to theaters on September 23 in IMAX and 3D formats ahead of the upcoming release of "Avatar: The Way of Water", the long-awaited sequel that opens in theaters on December 16. ## Stay tuned...

Los Angeles, September 14 - The world's highest-paid model, Kendall Jenner thinks the public has an inaccurate perception of her family.

So many people think they have you figured out when they don't even know the half of it.## "It can feel really unfair because that is not who I am. That can really get to me sometimes and that really sucks. But then looking at myself in the mirror and being like, 'I know who I am, so why does anything else matter? Everything else is just noise", she said.## Kendall Jenner first earned the title of the highest-paid model in 2018, however, she confessed to feeling "extremely overworked" in her early 20s and admitted that stepping back has done wonders for her. ## "The things that I accomplished, even my job, at one point when I was younger, I decided I wanted to be a model. I didn't stop until I was 24, then I was like, 'Okay I think I need to take it back a notch'", she said. "There was a core five years where I was extremely overworked, not my happiest, and I felt like I was saying yes to everything because I felt really grateful to be in the position I was in".## Jenner ultimately decided to make her well-being her number one priority. She admits that her new approach has transformed her life. "I just wasn't happy anymore so I had to set those boundaries for myself. I need to start saying no when I can and start prioritizing myself and my well-being. It has done wonders to me".## Stay tuned...

Thanos May Return In The Future Marvel Cinematic Universe Films, Hints Its Creator

Los Angeles, September 13 - Thanos is arguably the most loved Marvel villain, who made his first presence in the MCU during the post-credits sequence to "The Avengers" in 2012. Later, the mad Titan appeared in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and "Guardians of the Galaxy". ## After the brief appearances in the aforementioned films, Thanos was finally made in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame" as the primary villain in both movies, effectively making him the "big bad" of Marvel Studios' Infinity Saga. However, Thanos and his forces wiped out after Tony Stark aka Iron Man famously gave his life to save the universe. ## However, Jim Starlin, who created Thanos in the '70s and is known for his work with both Marvel and DC, believes that the famous Marvel villain may return in future MUC films. He spoke to Inverse about Marvel Studios' use of Thanos in their movies. ## Starlin said that Marvel is yet to be done with Thanos and shared his confidence that fans will see him again on-screen. "Well, I think he probably hits a nerve. He raises questions that a number of us have thought about. He's also just a badass character. I don't think anybody thinks we've seen the last of him. Disney made a shitload of money off of him and there's probably a shitload of money still to be made. So my fingers are crossed". ## Since Marvel is exploring the multiverse concept, the writer and artist discussed how it could pave the way for the possibility of bringing back Thanos. "I've heard Marvel may want to use some other characters I've done. I think they're running out. Now that they've got this multiverse, there's the possibility of bringing back Thanos. And with Thanos, that opens up possibilities for other characters. There are a few that they haven't used, like the Blood Brothers". ## It will be interesting to see if Marvel is really looking to reintroduce Thanos in the MCU, especially knowing the fact that Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror is already being set up as the next major crossover villain who will be making many appearances in various Marvel projects over the next few years.## Stay tuned...
