  1. According to Deadline, Sean Gunn, known for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy, has been cast as the villainous businessman Maxwell Lord in the new DC Universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran. Previously, Pedro Pascal portrayed the character in the 2020 film Wonder Woman 1984. It remains uncertain whether Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord will make a cameo appearance in his brother's upcoming film, Superman: Legacy, which is scheduled to begin production next year. While the character will be referenced in the background of Legacy, he will make appearances in future DC projects. This approach will also be applied to other characters in the new DC Universe, specifically in the first phase titled Gods and Monsters: Chapter One. Maxwell Lord first appeared in Justice League #1 in 1987, created by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Kevin Maguire. Initially portrayed as an ally to the Justice League and instrumental in the formation of the Justice League International, he eventually becomes an adversary to both the organization and Wonder Woman. During the Invasion crossover event, Lord gains superpowers when exposed to a Gene Bomb detonated by alien invaders. This explosion activates Lord's latent metagene, granting him the ability to manipulate the minds of others, albeit with significant challenges. In addition to his role as Kraglin in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, which was directed and written by James Gunn, Sean Gunn also collaborated with his brother in the film Suicide Squad, where he portrayed the character Weasel.
  2. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Sharon Stone and Raoul Max Trujillo have joined the cast of the DCU Blue Beetle. Stone will play the villain Victoria Ford and Trujillo will play Carapax the Indestructible Man. The character of Victoria Ford is a newly created character for the movie and In the comics, the character is Conrad Carapax, an archeologist whose mind-melds with the body of a robot. Blue Bettle stars Xolo Maridueña, who will play teenager Jaime Reyes, who gains superpowers when he encounters alien armor. Blue Beetle marks DC’s first film to star a Latino hero. The film is being directed by Angel Manuel Soto from a script by writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer. Warner Bros. has planned an August 18th, 2023 theater release.
  3. Birds of Prey opened in theaters this weekend to lackluster box office results. The movie is projected to bring in only $34 million this weekend, which would give it the distinction of being the lowest opening DC-based movie since the horrible “Jonah Hex” movie back in 2010. The movie received fairly strong reviews and decent praise from many of the fans who actually went to see it in the theaters. I haven’t seen the movie myself so I can’t speak to whether it’s a good movie or not, but the question still begs to be answered — why aren’t more people going to see it. Obviously I can’t speak for everyone, just myself and why I haven’t been motivated to go see it. I am sure over the course of the next few weeks, you will hear plenty of theories on why the movie bombed. Some will likely blame the “R” rating, even though that didn’t seem to really hurt movies like Joker and Deadpool. Some will likely try to blame the movie’s poor performance as being some type of feminist agenda hatched by the studio for female power that went astray. For me, I cite two main reasons. First, I am discovering that my interest in traveling to a movie theater and paying for expensive movie tickets and snack prices seems to decrease with each passing year. Maybe it’s an age thing. My general feeling is I am just as content to wait a few extra months and watch it from the comfort of my home. Like many, I have a nice sound system, a big flatscreen HDTV on the wall, and a nice comfy couch to watch movies on. I really don’t need a movie theater to have that movie experience. I did go see Joker in theaters, but honestly I would have been just as content if I waited and watched it at home. At home, I wouldn’t have had to be patted down by security to make sure I wasn’t sneaking a gun into the theater or be worried about getting shot, which was big concern for Joker, at least according to the mainstream media. Still that’s really not the biggest reason for me to not go see this one in theaters. For me, it’s more that I have just lost interest in the DC movie universe. Ever since Justice League and its poor performance at the box office, DC and Warner Bros. seem to have lost faith in their own product. In turn, this seems to have caused a total lack of cohesive direction. Yes, I am spoiled by Marvel movies. I want a cohesive DC Universe just like I have a cohesive Marvel Universe. There are many characters Marvel has given movies that I generally don’t have a huge interest in, but I go to see them because I want to see the puzzle piece they bring to the overall picture. That seems to have been lost with DC ever since Justice League, because Warner Bros doesn’t seem to have enough faith in their universe to continue on. So now we end up with these movies that can’t decide what they want to do. Sure, some are better than others. I liked Shazam but it really didn’t do much to further the DCU. They couldn’t even get Henry Cavill to do a proper cameo, so we ended up seeing some guys chest. We don’t even know if Cavill will be Superman again, and seemingly neither does Warner Bros. Don’t even get me started on Batman. Here is the thing, I enjoyed Margot Robbie’s performance of Harley in the Suicide Squad movie, and I don’t doubt she gave a strong performance in this movie. I have always thought Harley is a strong supporting character, which is what she was created to be. Do I really think she is an interesting enough character to carry a solo movie? No, and since I have no idea what connection this movie has, if any, to the previous Suicide Squad one — which is in the process of being totally revamped by James Gunn with an almost all-new cast, or the Jared Leto Joker and Ben Affleck Batman… or wait is it the Joaquin Phoenix Joker and the younger Robert Pattinson Batman now???? I don’t know, and honestly I don’t think Warner Bros does either. With this lackluster box-office performance, Robbie probably will be ousted by the studio and replaced by someone else next time we see Harley on the screen. At the end of the day, If Warner Bros. can’t stand behind these things, then why should I be bothered to be interested enough to go check it out? I will watch Birds of Prey eventually, but likely from the comfort of my home. Did you go see the movie? If so let us know your thoughts about it. If not, let us know why in the COMMENT SECTION below.
