I wouldn’t expect James Gunn’s Superman to outgross The Batman, but even assuming it becomes a billion dollar hit, I can’t imagine that’ll be enough to solve WBD’s financial problems.

Well, the lions certainly look more expressive than the 2019 film.

Does anyone find it a little weird that they went through the trouble of giving Red Hulk visible chest hair?

Flashback -
A large part of why the company is in so much debt in the first place was because of the Discovery merger.

Seems like going all in on streaming has bitten both WB and Paramount in the butt.
-
The animation style’s actually growing on me. I’m glad they didn’t just take the obvious route and try to copy the Spider-Verse style.

Man, Barakapool was like a different lifetime.

If the next saga is the Mutants Saga, I could see them going with Mr. Sinister as their big villain. The Fox movies seemed like they were trying to build him up.

In terms of Marvel’s 2026 slate, my guess at this point is the following: -February: Blade (there’s no way it keeps that November date) -July: Spider-Man 4 November: Either Shang-Chi 2 or Doctor Strange 3

There was a story about how Spielberg essentially waterboarded Susan Backlinie to get her to scream convincingly for the opening of Jaws.

To be clear, the idea that Stanley Kubrick tormented Shelly Duvall was debunked pretty extensively, including by Duvall herself. Kubrick was indeed a control freak who had some shady things about him, but this notion that he put Duvall through hell on that set isn’t actually true.

Well, there you have it then.

I thought I remembered hearing that Universal’s remaining rights to the Hulk lapsed last year on the 15th anniversary of the Edward Norton film. In any case, I don’t recall Marvel having any real problem advertising the Hulk in their past films.

Horizon Part 2 | Pulled from release

I say good for Costner. -
Assuming we don’t hear any extras come forward about being harassed or uncomfortable on set, then I don’t think it would be unreasonable to assume that certain bigwigs in Hollywood are trying to paint a particular narrative because they’re mad that Coppola made a movie outside the studio system. The trades were doing the same thing with American Horizon. To be clear though, I don’t think Coppola is some kind of saint. What he did to Victor Salva’s victim was pretty scummy, but I don’t see the trades bringing that up.

At this point, the prospect of Jurassic World, Superman and F4 coming out in the same month is looking like one of the only interesting things about 2025 for Hollywood, so this moving to November would just make the year seem even more uneventful.
-
Reviews weren’t “bad” though.
-
My only real question at this point about this coming out in July is that it would leave the November slot vacant. I assumed the plan was for the next Spider-Man movie to take November, but that still hasn’t been announced, so I assume it’s not happening.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 | December 20, 2024

That seems more like common sense at this point than an actual scoop. -
I did.

The idea that RDJ is just playing a “variant” of Doom, and that the “real” Doom will show up later down the line sounds like some serious copium.
