Because Harley Quinn was developed long before us we didn’t think it was fair to put the DC Studio fanfare on there. On Penguin, which we had a small hand in developing, we have a different DC Studios anim at the end. We’re currently working on the DC Studios Elseworlds opening.

tv echo February 25 Share February 25 (edited) Long article, so I didn't quote the TV updates... DC Studios Update: Two ‘Batman’ Movies, a Possible ‘Teen Titans’ Film and ‘Penguin’ Season 2, and Why James Gunn Posted a Photo With Zack Snyder By Adam B. Vary Feb 24, 2025 https://variety.com/2025/film/news/james-gunn-dc-updates-the-penguin-season-2-batman-movies-1236318685/ Quote A lot has happened with DC in just two years. Gunn is deep in post-production on “Superman,” the first DC Studios movie, which he wrote and directed, while simultaneously working on post on Season 2 of the Max series “Peacemaker.” Director Craig Gillespie is halfway through production on the summer 2026 film “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” with Milly Alcock. And production has started on the Green Lantern HBO series “Lanterns” with stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre, which is aiming to debut in early 2026. * * * Safran noted that DC Studios is ultimately aiming to release two live-action films and one animated film per year, and two live-action and two animated TV series per year. But the executives also reiterated the overall philosophy guiding their creative choices — namely, that no project will get a greenlight until Gunn and Safran are satisfied with a completed screenplay. “It is hard enough making a good movie with a good script,” Gunn said. “It’s almost impossible making a movie with a script that you’re writing on the run.” This is why, for example, they greenlit “Clayface” on the strength of Mike Flanagan’s screenplay even though, as Gunn said, “we had no plans on making a Clayface movie.” * * * Given that Batman has remained the most consistently successful DC character in film and TV for decades, it perhaps should not be a surprise that Gunn and Safran spent considerable time on updates about DC Studios’ expansive intentions for the Caped Crusader. First up, “Clayface”: Safran confirmed that British director James Watkins (“Speak No Evil”) is in talks to direct what he characterized as a “body horror film” and Gunn said they hope “works as a pure horror movie for somebody who doesn’t care at all about DC.” They plan to start shooting this summer and have also started the casting process. Gunn has said that actors who voice a role in an animated project will also play them in live action. But while Alan Tudyk has voiced Clayface in two DC animated series — as a buffoon in “Harley Quinn” and as a ruthless assassin in “Creature Commandos” — Gunn said that he won’t play the role in the feature film since that wasn’t a “primary role” for Tudyk (who also plays Doctor Phosphorus on “Creature Commandos”). Safran offered a brief update of sorts on “The Batman Part II,” saying that writer-director Matt Reeves has “yet to turn in a full script, but what we have read so far is incredibly encouraging.” (Warner Bros. recently pushed the movie from 2026 to 2027.) They had even less to say about the possibility of a second season of the spin-off series “The Penguin” with Colin Farrell following the release of “Part II.” “We don’t know,” Safran said. “There are a lot of moving pieces — probably most important Colin himself.” * * * DC Studios also remains in “active development,” Safran said, on “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” the film meant to bring the Dark Knight into the main DCU. (Reeves’ Gotham-verse exists in its own timeline.) “That story is coming together nicely,” Safran said, and Gunn added that he has been especially focused on the project given that “everybody knows I love Batman.” Unfortunately, Gunn said it was “very unlikely” that “The Batman” star Robert Pattinson would reprise the role for “The Brave and the Bold.” But he did not foreclose the possibility that the DCU version of the character could show up before his titular film. “I wouldn’t rule anything out,” Gunn said. “He could show up in something else. But the actor doesn’t exist [yet].” * * * After fielding the question about Pattinson playing Batman in “The Brave and the Bold,” for example, Gunn sighed in exasperation. “These questions become headlines because they say, ‘Have you ever talked about this?’” he said. “We’ve talked about literally every permutation on the way to come into this job, in terms of how were we going to handle it, what actors were going to continue over, what were we going to merge. We’ve talked about everything. Have we ever talked about Grant Gustin [star of the CW series ‘The Flash’]? Yeah. Have we ever talked about Robert Pattinson? Yeah. We’ve talked about all those things. But serious conversations? No.” * * * The project that’s suffered the most, it seems, is “The Authority.” In the 2023 presentation, Gunn spoke at length about the movie, which he said would follow the events of “Superman” as it tracked a team of superheroes who adopt a more unsparing, ends-justify-the-means philosophy than the Man of Steel. In the intervening two years, however, “The Authority” has moved to the back burner. * * * To that end, Gunn said that he has mapped out a roughly six year plan to tell a wider story that would result in a culminating project akin to Marvel’s “Avengers” movies, though he still insists that “each individual project works as its own thing.” “It isn’t like they’re chapters of an overall story,” he continued. “They’re characters that are part of an overall story.” Edited February 25 by tv echo Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/24846-the-dc-extended-universe-to-thanagar-and-beyond/page/42/#findComment-8590532
tv echo February 28 Share February 28 (edited) James Gunn Explains How History With Two Beloved Guardians Of The Galaxy Characters Is Influencing His Work With The DC Universe By Eric Eisenberg Feb 28, 2025 https://www.cinemablend.com/superheroes/james-gunn-explains-history-groot-nebula-guardians-of-the-galaxy-characters-influencing-work-dc-universe Quote Late last week, I was part of a small group of journalists invited to the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California for an hour-long conversation with James Gunn and Peter Safran about everything that’s cooking in the DC Universe, and one of the most interesting bits of discussion regarded how the franchise’s slate would be dictated by fan reactions. Gunn said that there are ideas of what constitutes the first chapter of the franchise, dubbed Gods And Monsters, but he cited his experience bringing Groot to the big screen for the first time that one can’t fully map everything out in advance. Said the filmmaker, "It's like any sort of writing exercise where you have a plan, and then you find the magic where you find the magic. And it's the meeting of those two things that comes together where you create something extraordinary, and that's what we're focusing on. But what you don't wanna do is have a... In Guardians of the Galaxy, did we know that Groot was gonna be by far the most popular character when the first movie came out? No way. It was surprising. Not only that, in all of the test screenings and everything, he wasn't the most popular character because he was like a fucking grey stick." * * * "So all of a sudden, the movie comes out, he's the most popular character, and then you don't wanna leave that alone. His son becomes a more instrumental character in the other movies. You don't want to let go of the lightning when it strikes. You want to pay attention to what is really working. And then if something isn't working, then it goes down a little bit." * * * According to James Gunn, there wasn’t a whole lot of love for the alien android [Nebula] following the release of his first MCU movie, and had he entirely depended on audience reaction, the character may not have been back for the sequels. Instead, he trusted his creative instincts, and by the time audiences saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, she became beloved: "Nebula was one of the least popular characters in the first – she was the least popular character when we were screening the first Guardians movie. I loved her. I knew she was something special. And then by the last Guardians movie, she was the favorite or up there with the top three. That's also important!" * * * "Sometimes I have a plan, and maybe the public doesn't see it originally, but I see it. I saw who Nebula was. I knew this character had an extraordinary arc and change. I related to that character a great deal, so I wasn't gonna give up on her either. So it does work both ways." Also, James Gunn debunked recent rumor that Daniel Radcliffe was being considered to star in Clayface... https://www.threads.net/@jamesgunn/post/DGlVQILP8hg Quote As we confirmed the other day, we’re closing a deal with James to direct. Because we don’t have a director yet, we haven’t even started the casting process. Daniel is great but we certainly haven’t talked to or considered him. So this one is 100% false.

tv echo March 18 Share March 18 (edited) Colin Farrell in Talks to Star in ‘Sgt. Rock’ for DC Studios BY BORYS KIT MARCH 17, 2025 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/colin-farrell-in-talks-to-star-in-sgt-rock-1236164958/ Quote Colin Farrell, who waddled his way to considerable acclaim for his work as a classic DC villain in The Penguin, is in negotiations to return to the world of DC with Sgt. Rock, the World War Two action movie to be directed by Luca Guadagnino for DC Studios. The move comes after Daniel Craig, who circled the feature project, officially stepped away and is now entertaining a role in Greta Gerwig and Netflix’s take on Narnia. No offer was ever made to Craig, DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran said in February. At the time, they said the project would shoot this summer “only if we find the perfect actor.” * * * If a deal makes, Farrell would play the tough-as-nails leader of Easy Company, the combat unit fighting Nazi forces in Europe. Created by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert, Sgt. Rock is a World War II soldier who first appeared in comics in 1959. His comic was one of DC’s longest-running books. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis previously circled the role during Hollywood’s multi-decade history of trying to bring the character to the big-screen.

Trini March 18 Share March 18 So if Farrell signs on for Sgt Rock, does that mean he's not in The Batman sequel? Because that's also supposed to film sometime later this year.
