<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Director James Gunn has confirmed that the new “Superman” movie is intended to be a political film.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” Gunn </span><a href="https://www.thetimes.com/culture/film/article/james-gunn-interview-superman-film-2025-david-corenswet-dhb3bw3rp"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in an interview with The Times of London published on Friday. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DC Studios co-chair acknowledged that both sides of the political spectrum will interpret the themes differently, depending on their individual beliefs.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes, it plays differently, but it’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them,” Gunn continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yes, it’s about politics,” Gunn said. “But on another level it’s about morality. Do you never kill no matter what — which is what Superman believes — or do you have some balance, as Lois [Lane] believes? It’s really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This Superman does seem to come at a particular time when people are feeling a loss of hope in other people’s goodness,” he went on. “I’m telling a story about a guy who is uniquely good, and that feels needed now because there is a meanness that has emerged due to cultural figures being mean online.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The entertainment exec added, “And I include myself in this. It is ad infinitum, millions of people having tantrums online. How are we supposed to get anywhere as a culture? We don’t know what’s real, and that is a really difficult place for the human brain to be. If I could press a button to make the internet disappear I’d consider it. And, no, I don’t make films to change the world, but if a few people could be just a bit nicer after, this it would make me happy.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The DC Studios head has been a critic of President Trump in the past. In 2017, he called Trump “an incompetent President forging a full-blown attack on facts and journalism in the style of Hitler and Putin.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also caught heat for making an inappropriate joke about Trump on X, saying an interview for any potential employee would include the questions, “‘Do you know anything about the position?’ and ‘Are you on my d***?’ The person that answers ‘no’ and ‘yes,’ respectively, gets hired.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gunn was previously fired from Disney’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise when inappropriate tweets he made about 9/11, rape, and pedophilia surfaced. The director was reinstated a year later</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> after making a public apology and attending multiple meetings regarding the incident</span>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My words of nearly a decade ago were, at the time, totally failed and unfortunate efforts to be provocative,” Gunn said at the time. “I have regretted them for many years since – not just because they were stupid, not at all funny, wildly insensitive, and certainly not provocative like I had hoped, but also because they don’t reflect the person I am today or have been for some time.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The highly anticipated “Superman” movie premieres on July 11, starring David Corenswet in the titular role.</span></p>

<p>The stars of one of the next films in Disney&#8217;s Marvel Cinematic Universe — &#8220;The Fantastic Four: First Steps&#8221; — made it clear in a recent interview that their plan is to effectively &#8220;Snow White&#8221; the franchise.</p>
<p>Despite Disney&#8217;s spectacular crash-and-burn with the Rachel Zegler-led live-action &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snow-white-bombs-with-one-of-disneys-lowest-opening-weekends-for-a-remake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Snow White</a>&#8221; — which struggled under the weight of Zegler&#8217;s woke commentary and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snow-white-producers-son-destroys-rachel-zegler-amid-films-box-office-struggles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-Semitic social media posts</a> in addition to the widely-panned decision to use CGI rather than live <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/total-travesty-dwarfs-to-protest-snow-white-after-cgi-used-instead-of-actors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dwarf actors</a> — the cast of &#8220;First Steps&#8221; appears ready to deliver a similar offering when the film is released in late July.</p>
<p>In a recent interview for <a href="https://ew.com/the-fantastic-four-first-steps-mcu-plot-character-details-cover-story-11712063?taid=67f7ebcc645bb3000131484d&amp;utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+New+Content+%28Feed%29&amp;utm_medium=trueAnthem&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Weekly</a>, Jessica Kirby (who plays Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman) explained how she planned to reinterpret her character despite the fact that the film is set in the 1960s in a parallel world within Marvel&#8217;s multiverse.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you played an exact &#8217;60s Sue today, everyone would think she was a bit of a doormat. So figuring out how to capture the essence of what she represented to each generation, where the gender politics were different, and embody that today, was one of the greatest joys of this,&#8221; Kirby began. &#8220;Matt and I were really aware that there hasn&#8217;t really been a mother with a baby in these superhero archetypes women have been getting. One of the things I love most from Sue&#8217;s history is when she becomes Malice, and all her dark stuff comes out. I was obsessed with that chapter of her life. So I wanted to make sure that there were tones of Malice in there with her, that she wasn&#8217;t just the stereotype of a goody, sweet mother.&#8221;</p>
<p id="mntl-sc-block_117-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html">&#8220;I&#8217;ve always been really interested in the mess of femininity, and how can you be both? How can you be all the things? Not just the tough, invincible, powerful woman, but also a mother who gives birth, which is itself a superhero act. I love that these characters are real humans in a messy family who argue and try to work it out and get things wrong,&#8221; Kirby continued.</p>
<p>Joseph Quinn took on the role of Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, and he described how cultural changes had led them to move away from previous portrayals that cast Johnny as an immature hothead and a bit of a player.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a man that leads with a lot of bravado, which can be an affront sometimes. But also he&#8217;s funny,&#8221; Quinn explained. &#8220;Myself and [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin [Feige] were speaking about previous iterations of him and where we are culturally. He was branded as this womanizing, devil-may-care guy, but is that sexy these days? I don&#8217;t think so. This version of Johnny is less callous with other people&#8217;s feelings, and hopefully there&#8217;s a self-awareness about what&#8217;s driving that attention-seeking behavior.&#8221;</p>
<p>The foursome — which also includes Pedro Pascal&#8217;s Mr. Fantastic and Ebon Moss-Bacharach&#8217;s Thing — are expected to reprise their roles in 2026&#8217;s &#8220;Avengers: Doomsday.&#8221;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Avengers are assembling for a new installment, and it looks like just about everyone is invited to the upcoming MCU movie, “Avengers: Doomsday.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel Studios revealed key figures during a five-hour livestream this week. The cast includes Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”), Tom Hiddleston (“Loki”), Anthony Mackie (“Captain America”), Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man”), Letitia Wright (“Black Panther”), Simu Liu (“Shang-Chi”), Danny Ramirez (“The Falcon”) and Winston Duke (“M’Baku”), per </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/avengers-doomsday-cast-announced-1236172556/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hollywood Reporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other names include Vanessa Kirby, Paul Rudd, Tenoch Huerta, Sebastian Stan, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, and Florence Pugh. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robert Downey Jr. will also be returning, as was previously announced.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some key actors missing from the new film include Tom Holland (“Spider-Man”) and Chris Evans (“Captain America”), though Evans is expected to participate in the sequel, “Avengers: Secret Wars.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel first announced the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday” at San Diego Comic-Con in July. During that announcement, they revealed that Downey Jr. and the Russo brothers, who both left the MCU after “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), would be returning for this project. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Doomsday” has a scheduled release date of May 2026, while the second part is slated for May 2027.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Russo brothers recently spoke with THR about how they cast for movies and keep all the characters straight, which they said involves using baseball cards to keep it all organized.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Now they have magnets on them so we can put ‘em on a board and look at ‘em. It’s the only way to keep track of the amount of characters that we’re working with,” Joe Russo </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/avengers-doomsday-directors-1236161664/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">told</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the outlet. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthony Russo chimed in, saying, “And as far as how do we look at who’s in the movies, it’s just a long creative process of exploring where we want to take the story. What is the most surprising and exciting area for us to push into, and which characters help us in that effort?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The directors also discussed their strategy for avoiding spoilers. “We’re pretty good about shutting that down,” Joe told </span><a href="https://collider.com/avengers-doomsday-secret-wars-runtime-russo-brothers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Collider</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in an interview with Anthony. “We’ve sort of strategized to hopefully be effective with that,” he added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s why the Russo Brothers prefer filming on soundstages. Joe said, “We don’t want people getting photographs, so we are being pretty stringent.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The location work we are doing, we have picked those locations with that in mind as well,” Anthony agreed.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The studio is hoping to have another major blockbuster on its hands after the success of “Avengers: Endgame,” which earned a record-breaking $2.7 billion worldwide.</span></p>

Marvel Reveals 'Avengers: Doomsday' Cast: Here's Who's In 

<p>Marvel actor Anthony Mackie said during a recent appearance that he did not believe that &#8220;the term America&#8221; was one of the things that was represented in the superhero Captain America.</p>
<p>Mackie, whose Sam Wilson character steps into the role of the titular hero in &#8220;Captain America: Brave New World,&#8221; made the comments while doing press for the latest Disney/Marvel venture in Rome. The role was previously played by actor Chris Evans as Steve Rogers.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Anthony Mackie explains what Captain America represents for him:</p>
<p>“Captain America represents a lot of different things &amp; I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity and integrity.”</p>

<p>&#8220;For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things and I don’t think the term ‘America’ should be one of those representations. It’s about a man who keeps his word, who has honor, dignity, and integrity. Someone who is trustworthy and dependable,&#8221; Mackie said. &#8220;This is kind of like an aspect of a dream coming true. You know, when I was a kid &#8230; all of us as actors, I believe, want to get back to that day before someone told you no.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When you look out your door and you see a five-year-old with a stick and he&#8217;s slaying dragons to save the princess in the tower, that kid really believes there are dragons out there, that stick is really a sword, and he&#8217;s really trying to save that princess,&#8221; Mackie continued. &#8220;Then one day, somebody told him no. There are no dragons, that&#8217;s not a sword, and that princess is not there. And all of his little dreams were dashed.&#8221;</p>
<p>While many agreed with at least the second half of Mackie&#8217;s statement, they were unimpressed with the lead-off.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Australian actor </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chris-hemsworth"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Hemsworth</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said he’s not happy with the criticism that superhero movies have received, especially from well-respected directors such as </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/martin-scorsese"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Martin Scorsese</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and Francis Ford Coppola.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It felt harsh, and it bothers me, especially from heroes. It was an eye-roll for me, people bashing the superhero space,” the 40-year-old “Thor” actor said during a recently published </span><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/chris-hemsworth-alzheimers-interview-mad-max-gw7kb8tvs"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with U.K.-based outlet The Times.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hemsworth went on to point out how even industry greats have failures. “Those guys had films that didn’t work too — we all have. When they talked about what was wrong with superheroes, I thought, cool, tell that to the billions who watch them. Were they all wrong?” he added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Cinema-going did not change because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social media. Superhero films actually kept people in the cinemas during that transition, and now people are coming back. So they deserve a little more appreciation,” Hemsworth said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Scorsese authored an op-ed published in the New York Times in 2019 titled “Martin Scorsese: I Said </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marvel"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Movies Aren’t Cinema. Let Me Explain.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s worldwide audiovisual entertainment, and there’s cinema,” the “Goodfellas” director </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/martin-scorsese-shreds-marvel-movies-says-theyre-not-cinema"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the piece. “They still overlap from time to time, but that’s becoming increasingly rare. And I fear that the financial dominance of one is being used to marginalize and even belittle the existence of the other.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He added, “For anyone who dreams of making movies or who is just starting out, the situation at this moment is brutal and inhospitable to art. And the act of simply writing those words fills me with terrible sadness.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coppola, director of “The Godfather,” agreed with that assessment. He sparked controversy in October 2019 when he </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/francis-ford-coppola-backs-scorsese-marvel-movies-are-despicable"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “When Martin Scorsese says that the Marvel pictures are not cinema, he’s right, because we expect to learn something from cinema, we expect to gain something, some enlightenment, some knowledge, some inspiration. I don’t know that anyone gets anything out of seeing the same movie over and over again. Martin was kind when he said it’s not cinema. He didn’t say it’s despicable, which I just say it is.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hemsworth also told The Times he’s unhappy with actors who blame the genre for their failures.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s, like, ‘They’re films that are successful — put me in one. Oh, mine didn’t work? I’ll bash them,’” he said. “Look, I grew up on a soap opera. And it used to bother me when actors would later talk about the show with guilt or shame. Humility goes a long way. One of the older actors on ‘Home and Away’ said, ‘We don’t get paid to make the good lines sound good, but to make the bad ones work.’ That stuck with me.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He continued, “But hey, it’s all a lesson. And if I ever went back to [‘Thor’] I’d wonder how we could change it again. But there is a superhero curse in the sense you get pigeonholed, and I’ve felt a little hamstrung with what I could do, so [I] desperately wanted something to scare the s*** out of me. And ‘Furiosa’ did.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hemsworth will appear next in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” premiering May 24.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marvel">Marvel</a> actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson promises that his new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies">film</a>, “Kraven the Hunter,” will be different from other <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/superheroes">superhero</a> movies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 33-year-old British star recently discussed his new project for a cover story with </span><a href="https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/film/aaron-taylor-johnson-britains-next-leading-man-bond-interview-37853/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rolling Stone UK</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think there was something unique about this character, and something grounded,” Taylor-Johnson said when discussing accepting the role. “We’ve all had enough of seeing certain studio films, a certain kind of pop culture… where they’re churning out stuff that dilutes wanting to go to the cinema. I wouldn’t have signed onto it if I felt there wasn’t something to really bring to life with this character.”  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Taking on a Sony/Marvel movie is a different challenge altogether,” he added at another point in the interview. “There’s the story, the character, the role; that’s one thing. But then you also step into a world where you’re dealing with a studio and a franchise — or possible franchises, though let’s not get ahead of ourselves.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actor went on, &#8220;So, they’re rolling the dice on me, in a sense, which is a lovely thing. But you’ve got to appease the studio, please the audience and do what’s dignified for you as an actor. I find all of that super challenging.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Besides working with Marvel, Taylor-Johnson is rumored to be replacing Daniel Craig as James Bond. When the interviewee inquired about it, the British actor said, “I can only really talk about the things I’m going to show and tell. I don’t feel like I need to have a future drawn out for me. I feel like: whatever’s drawn out for me, I can f***in’ do better.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taylor-Johnson will be featured in several upcoming films in 2024 in addition to “Kraven,” including a supporting role in “The Fall Guy” and an ensemble role in “Nosferatu.” </span></p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel’s “Kraven the Hunter” will premiere on August 30. The movie follows Sergei Kravinoff (Taylor-Johnson), a Russian immigrant on a mission to prove he’s the greatest hunter in the world. The film’s trailer depicts the character transforming from wanting to be a hunter to becoming one of Spider-Man’s villains. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other stars in the cast include Russell Crowe, Ariana DeBose, Fred Hechinger, Alessandro Nivola, and Christopher Abbott.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kirsten Dunst</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said she’s open to appearing in another </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/superheroes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">superhero</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> movie for a very practical reason.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spider-Man</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” actress made the revelation during a new </span><a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/kirsten-dunst-interview-2024/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with Marie Claire and discussed some of her thoughts about how the industry has changed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It was a joke, but on Spider-Man, they would call me &#8216;girly-girl&#8217; sometimes on the walkie-talkie. &#8216;We need girly-girl&#8217;” she mimicked. &#8220;But I never said anything &#8230; like, don’t call me that.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;You didn&#8217;t say anything. You just took it,&#8221; Dunst said of being on set in the pre-MeToo era. Marvel’s “Spider-Man” starring Tobey Maguire and featuring Dunst as Mary Jane premiered in 2002.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite her negative experience, the 41-year-old actress said she’d be open to another superhero movie &#8220;because you get paid a lot of money, and I have two children, and I support my mother.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The actress is currently promoting her new project, the action drama “Civil War” produced by A24.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s definitely less good roles for women my age,” the actress said, mentioning how “every role I was being offered was the sad mom” after being nominated for her first Oscar for “The Power of the Dog” in 2022.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“That’s why I did ‘Civil War.’ When I read the script, I thought, ‘I’ve never done anything like this,&#8217;” Dunst added.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At another point in the interview, the actress said in her 20s she was &#8220;kind of over-acting, to be honest, because I felt like it was for other people, not for myself.” She said engaging with an acting coach changed her outlook.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dunst’s comments about being willing to consider superhero movies come as the genre suffered several recent high-profile box office flops, including “Madame Web” starring Dakota Johnson, “The Marvels,” “Aquaman 2,” and “The Flash.” </span></p>
<p>In response, some studios,<span style="font-weight: 400;"> including Disney, have rescheduled some of their upcoming projects. While some of the bad numbers are being blamed on residual effects of the pandemic and the Hollywood strikes last year, many industry insiders have dubbed the phenomenon “superhero fatigue” as audiences become sick of seeing the same type of content over and over.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several “Spider-Man” spin-offs are currently in development, with the next releases being “Kraven the Hunter” in August and “Venom 3” in November. </span></p>

Kirsten Dunst Reveals Why She's Open To Appearing In Another Superhero Movie

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Batman</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” actor Paul Dano is weighing in on the debate over “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/superheroes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">superhero</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> fatigue,” the current trend of comic book-themed </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">films</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> like “Madame Web” and “The Marvels” underperforming at the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hollywood"><span style="font-weight: 400;">box office</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 39-year-old says all hope is not lost for future films in this genre. He says the concept just needs some tweaking. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s an interesting moment where everybody has to go like, ‘OK – what now?’ Hopefully from that, somebody either breathes new life into [comic book movies], or something else blossoms which is not superheroes,” Dano told The Independent during an interview published Friday. “I’m sure there will still be some good ones yet to come, but I think it’s kind of a welcome moment.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s a larger thing, too,” he continued. “As soon as the word ‘content’ came into what we do – meaning making movies or TV – it meant quantity over quality, which I think was a big misstep. And I certainly don’t need that as a viewer or as an artist.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dano went on to speculate why “The Batman” succeeded where so many others had failed. “There are enough comic book movies where you just know what you’re gonna get,” the actor said. “Reading the script for &#8216;The Batman,&#8217; you knew it was a real film. Every sentence… that’s just [writer/director] Matt Reeves.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A sequel to The Batman is slated to be released on October 3, 2025. Dano is currently promoting his newest film, “Spaceman,” a sci-fi movie starring Adam Sandler about an astronaut sent on a mission to the edge of the solar system while encountering a giant spider-like creature who will help him solve his problems.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The conversation about superhero films not performing as strongly in Hollywood has been a hot topic lately. In November, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) installment, “The Marvels,” had the lowest opening weekend in the franchise’s history with just $47 million.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Captain America: A Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” and “Blade” — all initially slated for 2024 — are being pushed to 2025, at least in part because of strike-related production delays. That means the only Marvel release scheduled for 2024 is “Deadpool 3.”</span></p>

‘The Batman’ Actor Weighs In On Superhero Fatigue, Offers Solution For Future Films

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Timothée Chalamet</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> said there’s one situation where he’d consider signing on for a superhero movie despite </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/leonardo-dicaprio"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leonardo DiCaprio</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">’s advice to avoid them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chalamet made headlines in 2022 upon sharing that DiCaprio had given him some words of wisdom for succeeding in Hollywood, saying, “No hard drugs and no </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/superheroes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">superhero</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> movies.” The “Wonka” star is reflecting on that now with some more years and experience, admitting that he might have to break those rules.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, ‘No superhero movies, no hard drugs.’ Which I thought was very good,” Chalamet told </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/movies/dune-timothee-chalamet-villeneuve.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New York Times</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> during a recent interview. “I follow them both! But the movie that made me want to act is a superhero movie, ‘The Dark Knight.’ If the script was great, if the director was great, I’d have to consider it.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s not the first time Chalamet praised Christopher Nolan’s critically acclaimed 2008 drama starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When I was 12 years old, after attending one of my sister Pauline’s [ballet] performances, I petitioned my Mom and grandma to see Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’ with me,” Chalamet said during an awards acceptance speech in 2018, per </span><a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/news/timothee-chalamet-consider-superhero-movie-script-director-1235922292/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “We went to AMC Empire 25 in Times Square for a 7:30 screening. I left that theater a changed man, and I’m serious about that. Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film was visceral and viral to me, and I now had the acting bug.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chalamet has been a rising star in Hollywood who received nominations for an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, and three BAFTA Film Awards. He made his film debut in “Men, Women, and Children” (2014) and later gained international recognition in the movie “Call Me by Your Name” (2017), which also earned the actor a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The celeb also appeared in “Lady Bird” (2017), “Little Women” (2019), “Beautiful Boy” (2018), and played a young cannibal in the horror film “Bones and All” (2022).</span></p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He had a supporting role in Nolan’s “Interstellar” and starred in “Wonka” (2023), which earned more than $600 million worldwide. The 28-year-old also starred in “Dune” (2021) and will follow that up with “Dune: Part Two,” which hits theaters on March 1.</span></p>

<p>He shared the message along with a photo of himself, riding in the passenger seat of what appeared to be a fire truck.

<p>Since the accident — which occurred when the snow-cat he&#8217;d been driving rolled over him — the actor has often shared updates documenting his recovery and offering encouragement to others who may also be struggling.</p>
<p>His first post came within days of the accident — when he was still &#8220;too messed up to type&#8221; but wanted his fans to know he was grateful for their prayers and well-wishes.</p>

<p>By early September, despite breaking 30 bones and suffering a collapsed lung, Renner was back on the leg-extension machine.</p>
<p>&#8220;Positive daily routines have been a solid foundation in my recovery. Build your mind, the body will follow. I make sure I get leg movements and stretches everyday … &#8216;oil&#8217; up inside my metal/joints with movement … push out scar tissue, strengthen muscle, tendons to have more joint support,&#8221; Renner captioned the video.</p>

<p>Just two months later — 10 months into his recovery — the actor was skipping and galloping down his driveway, a move that he said inspired &#8220;tears of joy&#8221; when he realized that he could do it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today marks the day on 10 months of recovery,&#8221; he posted. &#8220;First attempt at any of this activity (especially at steep grade) and was brought to tears of joy, hopefulness, and gratitude for all your support along with my family and friends … I keep pushing for many reasons, but you are my fuel.&#8221;</p>

‘Avengers’ Star Returns To Hospital One Year After Near-Fatal Snowplow Accident

'Avengers' Star Returns To Hospital One Year After Near-Fatal Snowplow Accident

Jeremy Renner

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” was yet another box office disappointment for </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/superheroes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">comic book</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> films, bringing in just $40 million over its opening weekend. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment"><span style="font-weight: 400;">movie</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which stars Jason Momoa as the King of Atlantis, brought in $27.7 million for the regular weekend and just $40 million over the extended four-day holiday weekend, per </span><a href="https://variety.com/2023/film/box-office/aquaman-2-box-office-christmas-disappointing-ticket-sales-1235850412/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Variety</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The sequel to the original “Aquaman” (2018) cost $205 million to make. This is the latest in a long line of disappointing projects for Warner Bros. and DC in 2023. “The Flash” ($55 million debut), “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” ($30 million debut), and “Blue Beetle” ($25 million debut) also underperformed this year, the outlet noted.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Industry analysts haven’t given up hope on “Aquaman 2,” however, as sometimes December releases have a slow start at the box office and slowly gain momentum into the new year. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">That happened with the original “Aquaman,” which earned $67 million at first and wound up bringing in $335 million domestically and $1.15 billion globally. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Aquaman 2” currently has a 36% critic score and 79% audience score on </span><a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/aquaman_and_the_lost_kingdom"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rotten Tomatoes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yet more evidence that the superhero movie industry is foundering comes from this shoddy, scraped-from-the-bottom-of-an-ocean-trench sequel,” the Observer reviewer </span><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/dec/24/aquaman-and-the-lost-kingdom-review-jason-momoa-sequel"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This final dive into the undersea world of the DCEU implodes under the pressure likely generated by all the behind-the-scenes tinkering. As last hurrahs go, this one’s lost at sea,” another reviewer </span><a href="http://moviefreak.com/aquaman-2-2023-movie-review/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">agreed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The superhero genre in general has been suffering lately. In November, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) installment, “The Marvels,” had the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/female-led-the-marvels-has-worst-ever-opening-weekend-in-mcu-history"><span style="font-weight: 400;">lowest opening weekend</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in the franchise&#8217;s history, pulling in just $47 million.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Captain America: A Brave New World,” “Thunderbolts,” and “Blade” — all originally slated for 2024 — are being pushed to 2025, at least in part because of strike-related production delays. That means the only Marvel release scheduled for 2024 is “Deadpool 3.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other upcoming DC projects include “Joker: Folie á Deux,” which will debut in November 2024 and “Superman: Legacy,” which hits theaters in July 2025.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marvel"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> star </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ryan-reynolds"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ryan Reynolds</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> sent a message to movie fans, urging them to stop sharing sneak peek photos nabbed during the filming of “</span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/movies"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deadpool 3</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 47-year-old actor posted his thoughts about it in an Instagram story published Wednesday. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Surprises are part of the magic of theatrical movies. It’s important for us to shoot the new ‘Deadpool’ film in real, natural environments, using practical effects as opposed to making the movie indoors and digitally. Telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone,” Reynolds wrote, per </span><a href="https://deadline.com/2023/12/deadpool-3-star-ryan-reynolds-pleads-restraint-using-spoiler-photos-1235656165/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deadline</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Here’s hoping some of the websites and social channels hold back showing images before they’re ready,” the celebrity continued. “The film is built for audience joy — and our highest hope is to preserve as much of that magic as possible for the finished film and the big screen. Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real world issues and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket. I love making this movie.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Deadpool 3” is a superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Deadpool, which will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios. It will be the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and serves as a sequel to “Deadpool” (2016) and “Deadpool 2” (2018). Both previous films featured Reynolds as the lead character.</span></p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The original “Deadpool” earned $782.6 million and was one of the highest-grossing films of 2016. It also became the highest-grossing R-rated film at the time. The sequel, released two years later, was also a critical and financial success. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The story is based upon an unconventional anti-hero, a former Special Forces operative turned mercenary named Wade Wilson. He acquires healing powers after an experiment gone wrong and adopts the alter ego Deadpool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marvel is banking on a hit after several flops, including “The Marvels” earlier this year. Disney CEO Bob Iger recently said that the studio has made “too many” sequels in the past. “I don’t want to apologize for making sequels,” he </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-iger-reveals-why-he-thinks-the-marvels-flopped-admits-they-made-too-many-sequels"><span style="font-weight: 400;">said</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. “We have to have a reason to make it beyond commerce.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Deadpool 3” is slated to be released in the United States on July 26, 2024, as part of Phase Five of the MCU.</span></p>
