James Gunn has responded to yesterday's rumor that Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt might be in line for a role in the Dcu.
The DC Studios co-ceo was asked if Pratt was in negotiations for a part in the rebooted franchise, and confirmed that he speaks to his friend about it "all the time."
This shouldn't be taken as confirmation that Pratt is officially in talks for any specific character, but it seems clear that some ideas have been tossed around at the very least.
Pratt was asked about the possibility of joining the new DC Universe in a recent interview.
"Well, there’s always a chance," he told TMZ. "But of course, I wouldn’t be able to spoil it here on the sidewalk with you. I could, but I better not. Man, I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide.

This probably won't come as much of a surprise given recent comments from the actor, but Chris Pratt is rumored to have had discussions with his Guardians of the Galaxy director and DC Studios co-ceo James Gunn about potentially coming aboard the Dcu.
According to Mttsh, Pratt has spoken to Gunn about an undisclosed role, but we're not sure if he has actually entered talks.

"There is no God! That's why I stepped in!" declared the megalomaniacal High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji) in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3." Powerful line, but oh how wrong he is.
The Marvel Universe (of both the comic and cinematic flavors) is home to many gods; Thor is one of the setting's A-list characters, after all. The Thunderer's fellow Norse Gods co-exist with the Greek/Roman pantheon. "Thor: Love & Thunder" showed there are enough gods out there to fill a whole metropolis, Omnipotence City — though Gorr the God Butcher wants to cut that number down to size.
Beyond adapting real mythological figures, the Marvel Universe also has the godlike Celestials; enormous, multi-colored (but still vaguely humanoid) beings older than the cosmos who maintain the universe. "Eternals" was the first MCU film to prominently feature Celestials, particularly their leader Arishem the Judge. Godlike power in Marvel extends even above the...

We’ve seen Eddie Redmayne in all kinds of modes over the years – as genius physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, as introverted wizard Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts films, as a megalomaniacal space deity in Jupiter Ascending. But now, we’ll see him in an all-new light – the series adaptation of classic ‘70s thriller film The Day Of The Jackal has Redmayne as its titular Jackal, a master assassin whose sharp-shooting exploits find him hunted down by the authorities. Here, that’s Lashana Lynch’s intelligence officer Bianca, ready to embark on a cat-and-mouse chase to take the Jackal down. Watch the tense trailer here:

"Who exactly is this man?" Peacock has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for an upcoming assassin thriller series titled The Day of the Jackal, yes indeed based on the book (and British movie) of the same name. The 1973 movie is also called The Day of the Jackal, starring Edward Fox, and it's adapted from the book by Frederick Forsyth. There's a 1997 Hollywood movie called The Jackal also about an assassin, though it's not an exact adaptation. The new series is a bold, contemporary re-imagining of the beloved and respected novel and film. While remaining true to the DNA of the original, this contemporary drama will delve deeper into the life of the chameleon like "anti-hero" at the heart of the story, in a high octane, cinematic, globetrotting "cat & mouse" thriller, set amidst the turbulent geo-political landscape of our time. Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne stars in this series as...

There was all sorts of buzz as to what the surprise would be at the end of Thursday night’s screening of Deadpool & Wolverine in Hall at Comic-Con.
We heard that Deadpool and Wolverine were returning in a new X-Men movie, and there was word of a choir coming out to sing Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” None of that happened during the first of two Comic-Con Hall H panels for Marvel Studios.
Instead, Kevin Feige, Marvel’s president and producer, told the crowd to look to the skies at 9:45 p.m. At that time, a Merc with the Mouth-themed drone show took place, ending with the reveal that Fantastic Four and Galactus would be at the studio’s big Hall H panel on Saturday night.
Galactus appeared over San Diego’s Petco Park via drones as his great god-being. The drones soon re-arranged to make up the iconic Fantastic Four ‘4’ symbol.

THR reports that Picard's Sol Rodriguez and The Office actor David Denman have both signed on in supporting roles, and at least one of them will play an established DC Comics character.

Gunn has already confirmed that Peacemaker season 2 will be set after the events of Superman Legacy, and that the movie will "have an impact" on the show. Does this mean we can expect to see Smith or some other Peacemaker characters appear in the Dcu Man of Steel reboot?
Cena was asked about the possibility of showing up in future Dcu projects during an appearance at Comicpalooza, and while he brilliantly evaded the question, his response did seem to suggest that he may know a little more than he's willing to divulge.

The Suicide Squad spinoff series starring John Cena, follows the escapades of Peacemaker, a role that Cena originated on Gunn’s 2021 film. Peacemaker is a vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.
The show’s cast includes Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick.

James Gunn is currently on a tight and hectic schedule working on both Superman and Peacemaker Season 2. With both hands full and timetable loaded, fans have felt deeply concerned about the filmmaker and the fate of the two projects.
John Cena in Peacemaker
The director addressed this query on his social media platform, and it seems he is devoting more time for Superman while still making visible progress on the Peacemaker sequel. It is a tough job to handle two different projects and develop them at the same time, but that seems to be the thrill and joy of it.

James Gunn shared a helmet selfie on Instagram to announce the production of Peacemaker season 2 has now started.
James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad was excellent. Then again, he had already helmed two great Guardians Of The Galaxy films, not to mention the hilarious Super, so we knew he’d be able to juxtapose the violence and the humour well.
When it was announced (and teased at the end of The Suicide Squad) that John Cena’s Peacemaker would be getting his own spin-off TV show, fans were cautiously excited but also a little worried about how the character would translate into a longer format.
Well, Peacemaker, which debuted in 2022 was a hoot. From the wonderfully bonkers opening credits, which saw the entire cast do an extravagant dance number, to the even more bonkers narrative, the series was much better than anyone was expecting.

Director James Gunn brought a new level of emotional power to “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” by making the wisecracking Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and his tragic backstory the centerpiece of the finale. This required the Oscar-nominated VFX (led by Marvel’s production VFX supervisor Stéphane Ceretti) to up its game considerably to meet the demands of Gunn’s intimate scale and epic scope.
Framestore (led by VFX supervisor Alexis Wajsbrot) was tasked with expanding and improving its keyframe animation of Rocket through six stages, from genetically altered baby raccoon to hardened weapons expert. This allowed for greater nuance and complexity in the facial performance along with more detailed fur and an evolved gait and physiology. “It’s really a chain of artists that work together and get that to the level where other humans looking at it are crying because of a CG raccoon,” Ceretti told IndieWire in the video below.

The Dceu (DC Extended Universe) era of DC Comics film and TV adaptations has come to an end, making way for the Dcu (DC Universe) that’s going to be overseen by producers James Gunn and Peter Safran… but there is one Dceu project that’s going to make the transition between universes: the Max TV series Peacemaker, which was created by Gunn and serves as a spin-off from his Dceu film The Suicide Squad. Although season 1 of the show was produced during the Dceu era, Gunn is going to make season 2 part of the Dcu era, right after he makes his Dcu Superman movie Superman: Legacy. Interacting with fans on Threads, Gunn promised that Peacemaker shifting from Dceu to Dcu isn’t going to be confusing.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" ended with a new team of Guardians led by Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). One of their number was Phyla (Kai Zen), a young white-haired girl and freed test subject of evil geneticist the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).
If you're a comics fan, then yes, you likely realized that this was indeed the Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation of the hero Phyla-Vell. If you only watch the movies, you're still thinking (to quote Korath the Pursuer), "Who?!" Well, let me explain.
In the comics, Phyla is the daughter of Captain Marvel — the alien warrior Mar-Vell, not Carol Danvers. Annette Benning played a female version of Mar-Vell in 2019's "Captain Marvel," but the character is traditionally male. Mar-Vell and his progeny are Kree, the imperious race to which "Guardians of the Galaxy" villain Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace) belonged. The Kree have both blue and pink-shaded skin...

This year’s awards-contending films offer a treasure trove of crafts that includes transformations, exquisite sets, lavish costumes, memorable scores and songs and immersive cinematography. The contenders range from newcomers to legends — Variety breaks down the categories below.
Makeup And Hair
Prosthetic makeup designer Kazu Hiro could very well walk away with his third Oscar for his work on Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro.” Transforming Cooper into the legendary composer Leonard Bernstein consisted of five different stages to gradually age the actor. And the guild as well as the Academy love a transformation.
Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” could be a contender in this area, following in the footsteps of the first two films that landed guild nominations. The sheer volume of prosthetics and wigs went into building the characters such as the humanimals, the hybrid of humanoid and animal, and the villain, the High Evolutionary, played by Chukwudi Iwuji.

From Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and his plans to take over the Earth for all Skrulls to Wenwu (Tony Leung) and his ancient rings of power to He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and the threat of his variants, the stakes of the Multiverse Saga have been just as formidable to overcome as Thanos and those who came before. But there’s one Loki villain who might just have them all beat – the sentient A.I. clock we all know as Miss Minutes (Tara Strong).

From Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and his plans to take over the Earth for all Skrulls to Wenwu (Tony Leung) and his ancient rings of power to He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors) and the threat of his variants, the stakes of the Multiverse Saga have been just as formidable to overcome as Thanos and those who came before. But there’s one Loki villain who might just have them all beat – the sentient A.I. clock we all know as Miss Minutes (Tara Strong).

While New York Comic-Con attendees got the marvel of Captain America star Chris Evans and Guardians of the Galaxy gang Karen Gillan, Chukwudi Iwuji, Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn and Pom Klementieff, all followed in the careful footsteps of other actors at New York Comic-Con this week, read Ewan McGregor and David Tennant, in being largely tight-lipped about struck companies or work. The actors strike is now in its 93rd day.
Instead, Evans discussed his dog, Dodger, his love for both Halloween and Christmas and a desire to return to Broadway.
“I’m looking (for a play),” Evans told the crowd. “I’d love to actually try and find something next year, but it’s tough because you find something that you are kind of into that could be cool but like I said, once you’re in it, you are in it. (A show) usually runs three,...

Thankfully the home video labels have been stepping up their game, with deluxe packages overflowing with extras and feature films presented in their best possible format.

Mumbai, Aug 23 (Ians) Actor Rohit Bose Roy, who has voiced Peter Quill in all the three Hindi versions of the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ franchise, said that he enjoyed voicing Chris Pratt’s character of Peter Quill as his character is similar to what he is in real life.
Rohit said: “Voicing Chris Pratt in the role of Peter Quill or Star-Lord was so much fun because his character is similar to what I am in real life- fun, engaging and a little cocky. I remember the first time I dubbed for Peter Quill, they were so excited about my voice on Chris Pratt’s face that I became his unofficial voice across India.
“Working in this industry is something that makes me happy, and the fact that the film is a part of the epic Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy franchise only adds to my happiness.”

Mumbai, Aug 3 (Ians) James Gunn, the director and writer of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3’, has shared that he feels really close to the character of Rocket in the film.
In the new film, Rocket Raccoon’s turbulent past catches up as the movie presents a visual and emotional roller coaster.
Sharing how Rocket takes centre stage in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3’, James Gunn said: “The central character, in a way, is Rocket, and Rocket’s the one I feel close to,” he explains. “The first film is the story of the mother, the second film is the story of the father, and this film is the story of the self, so it’s innately more intimate because of that.”
