James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the DC Universe late last year and immediately cancelled several of the projects which were greenlighted before their time, like Wonder Woman 3. So we all thought that was the end of her story.
Well, when Gal Gadot was doing press for her new film, she said she spoke to the new heads of DC, and they said they still wanted to make it happen.
So Variety reached out to find out if that was true, and sadly it is not. The two men are focused on their upcoming projects and not the past ones.
The CW was bought Nexstar, and they cancelled almost everything but All American and Walker. However, there were three shows that were awaiting their fate.
Today, All American: Homecoming, Superman & Lois, and Gotham Knights found out if they will be on the schedule next year.
The first two will be back for 13 and 10 episodes, respectively, but the latter will not.
It is crazy. For the first time since 2013, there will only be one DC Universe show on The CW.
The Flash has been plagued with trouble because its lead Ezra Miller, has been getting in trouble since the movie wrapped. However, it is still getting a lot of positive buzz.
Tonight, during the Super Bowl, we got to see the first trailer for the movie. Do you think that buzz is warranted?
To me, it looks like all the superhero movies, which is why I haven’t seen one since the first Avengers.
I am so happy that James Gunn took over DC Studios because they desperately need a change. Almost all of the movies feel the same. They are all serious with little joy and humor.
Actually, I shouldn’t say all. The first Shazam movie had the latter two elements, but the sequel looks like it lost them.
Because of that, I feel that Gunn and Zachary Levi are going to have a talk in April that Levi is not going to like.
So you better see him as a child turned adult superhero on March 17th because it looks like it will be your last chance to do so.
The Rock spent 15 years trying to get Black Adam made, and it finally happened. It made it all the way to theaters and delighted fans all over the world. Therefore, a sequel seemed like a done deal. But today, we found out it is not happening.
“My passionate friends, I wanted to give you a long-awaited Black Adam update regarding the character’s future in the new DC Universe. James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling,” he wrote. “However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”
Even though DJ’s dream is on hold, he is not bitter toward Gunn. The two have supported each other through the years and will continue to do so.
Today’s revelation says to me that if Black Adam and DJ can’t move forward with the DC Studios’ chiefs, no one can. I think everyone is going to be replaced with the new regime. And that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
