Two decades have passed since the release of the first ‘Constantine’ movie, and the anticipation for a sequel has never waned. In 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed that ‘Constantine 2’ was in development, but since then the project’s situation seems to have not advanced significantly. With James Gunn at the helm of DC, the importance of having a solid script before moving forward has become an unavoidable condition.
Nothing without a good script
In a recent appearance on the BobaTalks podcast, Gunn shared his thoughts on the future of ‘Constantine 2’. His cautious approach resonates with his philosophy since taking the helm of DC, where he has emphasized that the absence of a proper script represents a barrier. This principle has already influenced the company’s release schedule, highlighting the proximity of other productions like the ‘Supergirl’ movie, which had a script that convinced its creative team.
Despite the stagnation of the project, both Keanu Reeves and Francis Lawrence have expressed their interest in participating in the sequel. However, the future of ‘Constantine 2’ remains uncertain, as it is expected that the condition of having an approved script will be met. Since 2022, several drafts of the script have been reported, but none have received the necessary approval, which has generated more concern among the franchise’s followers.
The lack of tangible progress on ‘Constantine 2’ leaves the possibility of a release date up in the air, causing many fans to wonder when they will be able to see their favorite demon hunter back on the big screen. The combination of Reeves and Lawrence’s desire to continue this story with Gunn’s strict policy on scripts presents a complicated outlook for the immediate future of the project.
The second season of Peacemaker is coming to an end, and fans of the series are eager to know the future of its characters. James Gunn, the creator and writer of the series, has confirmed that episode 8 will not provide a traditional answer about a potential third season. Although some characters may return, it will not be Peacemaker 3 as many had hoped. Gunn has indicated that the series presents some surprises that could be addressed in the final episode, suggesting that narrative decisions could go in unexpected directions.

The second season of Peacemaker is coming to an end, and fans of the series are eager to know the future of its characters. James Gunn, the creator and writer of the series, has confirmed that episode 8 will not provide a traditional answer regarding a potential third season. While some characters may return, it will not be Peacemaker 3 as many had hoped. Gunn has indicated that the series presents some surprises that could be addressed in the final episode, suggesting that narrative decisions could go in unexpected directions.
That news can be good or bad
Despite the success of the second season, Gunn has faced significant challenges in developing new projects within the DC Universe. In particular, he mentions that The Authority has become a complicated project to advance, describing it as the most difficult script he has handled to date. Nevertheless, Gunn has hinted that he is working with a new creator, which could breathe new life into the story. However, this also suggests that the situation remains uncertain.
Additionally, Gunn has expressed his concerns about the difficulty of capturing the audience’s attention for films based on lesser-known characters, which he has considered a limiting factor for the production of new films. In fact, after the final episode of Peacemaker, the DC Universe will take a breather before the premiere of Lanterns, a series based on Green Lantern, scheduled for early next year. This new installment will mark the first time that Gunn will not be in charge as creator or screenwriter, which represents a new challenge for the narrative of the cinematic universe he has been building.
James Gunn has revealed a fascinating interconnection between the Marvel and DC universes, asserting that the former exists as a fictional concept within the latter. This statement echoes a moment in the Peacemaker series, where the famous “Spider-Man meme” is mentioned, suggesting a joke that points to the existence of Marvel within the DC universe. The Marvel universe is official within DC In a recent conversation with Brandon Davis, Gunn continued this idea by stating that in his DC universe, Edgar Wright would have directed the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

The Marvel universe is officially within DC
In a recent conversation with Brandon Davis, Gunn expanded on this idea by stating that in his DC universe, Edgar Wright would have directed the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. The filmmaker surrenders to the quality of Wright’s work, emphasizing that he probably would have done a better job than his in that context. “I have created DC in the Marvel universe. And I have created Marvel within the DC universe, it’s great!” he commented.
The rich tradition of crossovers between DC and Marvel dates back to the 1960s, where iconic characters from both publishers have exchanged blows and adventures on various occasions. From the first joint comic of Superman and Spider-Man in 1981 to the recent encounters between Batman and Deadpool, these crossovers have fascinated fans for generations. Currently, a new anthology comic brings together Batman and Deadpool, promising more interactions between heroes from both universes.
With Peacemaker releasing episodes weekly on HBO Max, the series serves as a bridge that cleverly and entertainingly connects these universes. Gunn is expanding the mythology of superheroes by playing with their traditions, increasing interest in both universes as fans continue to enjoy this new phase of superhero entertainment.

In statements to Collider, he expressed his excitement stating that “it’s a proper movie” with “a really fantastic script.” Before The Batman 2, a villain is coming.

Minghella has confirmed that the film will fully embrace the elements of body horror, a hallmark of the character’s roots in the comics. In statements to Collider, he expressed his excitement stating that “it’s a proper movie” with “a really fantastic script.”
Before The Batman 2, a villain is coming
Director James Watkins, known for his work on Eden Lake, seems to be an appropriate choice for this project due to his experience in the horror genre. Minghella praised Watkins’ skill, noting that his extensive career in film fits perfectly with the movie they are creating. “I can’t imagine anyone else doing it,” Minghella added about the director.
The Clayface movie will also feature Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, the second version of Clayface in the comics. This character has the ability to shapeshift and transform into sentient mud, although this ability comes with the loss of his humanity. Set images seem to indicate that Harries will undergo a tough physical transformation that reflects these dramatic changes in his character.
In addition, speculation has arisen that Basil Karlo, the first version of Clayface, could appear in The Batman 2. Actress Carmen Ejogo, who played Eve Karlo in The Penguin, could be connected to this possible appearance. Despite the visual similarities in the sets, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has downplayed the potential connections between Clayface and The Batman 2, stating that both will belong to different narrative universes.
Clayface is scheduled to premiere on September 11, 2026, and fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an intriguing and innovative adaptation of the source material.

This number positions it as the most successful debut on the platform since the cultural phenomenon known as Barbie in 2023, which attracted a huge audience and generated a significant awards campaign.
Superman finds his home in streaming
The impact of the movie has not only been seen in the views since its release. During the same period from September 15 to 21, several productions from the HBO Max library related to Superman experienced dramatic increases in their streaming numbers. Titles like Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story saw a 670% increase, while Superman: The Movie grew by 155% and Superman Returns by 120%. Man of Steel also increased its viewership by 40%.
This film marks the beginning of the new cinematic universe of DC under Gunn’s direction, which started with the animated series Creature Commandos and is in line with the second season of Peacemaker, which directly follows the events of Superman. This new approach promises to revitalize Superman’s legacy and expand the DC universe with future releases, such as Supergirl, scheduled for next summer.
In addition, fans can look forward to Man of Tomorrow, which will be a direct sequel to Superman and is scheduled for July 9, 2027. In this new chapter, Superman and Lex Luthor will have to join forces, which points to an intriguing and action-packed plot.
Ultimately, Superman’s success in streaming positions it as a strong candidate in the new approach that James Gunn is developing for the DC franchise, while the audience remains excited for the upcoming releases.

Although details about the plot are kept under wraps, the completion of the script indicates that pre-production could be close to starting.
Everyone wants to wear the cape and the mask
On the other hand, James Gunn, co-director of the new era of the DCU, has shared updates about another project related to the Dark Knight, titled The Brave and the Bold. In a recent interview with IGN, Gunn expressed his satisfaction with the progress of this new film, which will focus on the dynamic between Batman and his son, Damian Wayne, introducing a family-oriented approach within the superhero universe. The idea of exploring this relationship will be appealing to both comic book fans and those who enjoy deeper narratives.
Gunn also highlighted that The Brave and the Bold will offer a distinctive tone that sets it apart from other Batman projects, promising a fresh and novel approach. Although little is known for now about the cast or the release date, Gunn’s statements suggest that the production is on good terms, which bodes well for the film’s positive development. The combination of these two Batman projects, each with its unique style, could rejuvenate interest in the stories of the Dark Knight while solidifying DC’s position in the current cinematic competition.
James Gunn keeps fans updated on the projects of the DC universe through constant communication on social media, podcasts, and other formats. In his latest podcast, ‘2 bears, 1 cave’, Gunn shared his perspective on ‘The Brave and the Bold’, the upcoming movie that will focus on Batman, following ‘The Batman 2’. Despite the attention that visual details attract, such as the design of the Dark Knight’s suit, Gunn emphasized that the most important thing is the story and character development.

What’s Coming in DC
During the conversation, Gunn emphasized key aspects that will define the new interpretation of Batman, such as his detective side, his fighting skills, and the supernatural elements that will be part of the narrative. This reflects a conscious attempt to move away from previous versions of the character and establish a new direction that satisfies both old and new fans.
Taking advantage of his platform, Gunn also showcased the second draft of the script for ‘Man of Tomorrow’, suggesting that Brainiac will be a possible threat that Superman and Lex Luthor will face. This revelation adds an additional layer of intrigue to the story, raising expectations for what promises to be an epic confrontation.
It is important to note that the premiere of ‘Supergirl’ is scheduled for nine months from now, which could influence the cadence of the information shared by Gunn. Given the time remaining, it is likely that the director will pace the updates to keep fans interested without overwhelming them. With this strategic approach, Gunn aims to maintain excitement as the release of new DC productions approaches.

For those who are still unaware and haven’t seen it
In the box office, ‘Superman‘ has grossed a total of 615 million dollars worldwide, far exceeding its budget of 225 million. Although it has not been a resounding success, the result has been more than enough for Warner Bros. to consider the film a triumph. With these figures, there are already discussions about a sequel, indicating the studio’s satisfaction with the film’s reception.
The physical release of ‘Superman’ is scheduled for October 15 in Spain, which has generated great anticipation among fans who want to enjoy its image and sound quality. Additionally, an elegant steelbook will be released, which will undoubtedly attract even more collectors.
Some critics consider ‘Superman’ to be the best science fiction movie of the year and, surprisingly, it has positioned itself as their personal favorite of 2025, a significant milestone given that the author is not a regular follower of the character. This comment reflects the high expectations that the movie has surpassed, even surprising those who traditionally do not follow the stories of the Man of Steel.
War cinema has experienced a notable resurgence in recent years, managing to establish itself as a prominent genre in the film industry, although in the past it went through a phase of exploitation that left a legacy of less reputable films. A clear example of this evolution is the iconic The Dirty Dozen, directed by Robert Aldrich, which has left an indelible mark on cinema, influencing irreverent filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn.

War cinema has experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent years, establishing itself as a prominent genre in the film industry, although in the past it went through a phase of exploitation that left a legacy of less reputable films. A clear example of this evolution is the iconic The Dirty Dozen, directed by Robert Aldrich, which has left an indelible mark on cinema, influencing irreverent filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino and James Gunn.
A movie about a group of suicidal rebels
This film, which will be broadcast today on television via La 2 starting at 10 PM and will be available for streaming on Movistar+ and AppleTV+, is set against the backdrop of World War II. The plot centers on a mission deemed suicidal, led by Commander Reisman, who is tasked with assembling a squad of misfit men to assault a Nazi fortress. This combination of dark humor and war drama has been key to its appeal and has made it a classic whose influence extends beyond the boundaries of the genre.
The cast of Twelve Angry Men includes great actors like Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, and the unexpectedly sensitive John Cassavetes, who bring charisma and attitude to the storytelling. This, along with its remarkable technical quality, has led it to be recognized with an Oscar in the sound category and to become one of the highest-grossing films of its time, earning a prominent place in television and video store repertoires over the years.
With its blend of action and memorable characters, The Dirty Dozen continues to offer a captivating cinematic experience that remains relevant in popular culture and continues to resonate with new generations of filmmakers and viewers.
Many doubted whether James Gunn, creator of such antics as Guardians of the Galaxy or The Suicide Squad, would be able to correctly bring to the big screen the greatest hero of all time: Superman (if you thought of Batman, please go back to the starting point). 615 million dollars later, there is no doubt, and Warner has given him the green light to continue exploring his universe, as long as one of the next projects to come is the sequel to Man of Steel. Gunn has already released a drawing of our hero alongside […]
Many doubted whether James Gunn, creator of hits like Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, would be able to properly bring to the big screen the greatest hero of all time: Superman (if you thought of Batman, please go back to square one). 615 million dollars later, there is no doubt, and Warner has given him the green light to continue exploring his universe, as long as one of the next projects is the sequel to Man of Steel. Gunn has already released a drawing of our hero alongside Lex Luthor and hinted that it is a story about both, in a buddy movie style, but… What comics should one read to fully understand the complex personality of his antagonist? Don’t worry: we are going to recommend the 5 definitive comics to understand Lex Luthor. Yes, really. And along the way, a little more about Superman.
What happened to the man of tomorrow?
In 1986, Alan Moore created one of the most definitive (and defining) comics in DC history: a final story for Superman in which Lois Lane (now Lois Elliot) narrates Superman’s last days, 10 years after his death. In the adventure, Luthor, who always believes he is doing good, ends up being invaded by Brainiac and creates chaos until, in a moment of lucidity, when he becomes himself again, he asks Lana Lang to do something for him: to break his neck once and for all, a final heroic gesture that actually represents everything we need to know about the character: a villain against his will, but with inner strength and a strange sense of nobility.
John Byrne’s Superman
John Byrne forever changed Superman, especially in his early issues: he not only altered crucial parts of his past but also made Luthor his ideal antagonist. In an early story, the villain manages to guess who his enemy really is by inputting data into a computer that gives him an incredible result: Clark Kent is Superman. Luthor, filled with rage, decides to destroy the computer, believing that if it were so obvious, a mind as perfect as his would have reached that conclusion long ago. Luthor is superintelligent, yes, but also deeply selfish. By the way, you should read all of Byrne’s Superman, two fantastic and unrepeatable years.
All-Star Superman
Gunn has previously mentioned All-Star Superman as inspiration for the first movie, and it makes sense: these 12 issues written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely were incredible, they renewed the character forever. Luthor finally manages to kill Superman, although that has unimaginable consequences. I won’t tell you more: it has been reprinted in a thousand and one ways, and rightly so, because it is a comic that is worth discovering without knowing much more about it.
How much can a man hate?
Mark Millar, before becoming well-known in the comic book world, wrote a few small issues seemingly aimed at children but that actually had much more philosophical depth than entire story arcs of the character. In particular, issue 27 of The Adventures of Superman features “How Much Can a Man Hate?”, a story that ends, possibly, with the two best pages in the history of their relationship. First, a flashback in which the villain says “One day, Lex Luthor is going to look down at Metropolis, and everyone will look up at me”, followed by a final page where he is in his tower, high up… watching Superman in the sky, unable to do anything to remedy it. A masterpiece.
Lex Luthor: Man of Steel
We conclude with one of the most important comics to understand this complex character: one from his point of view. Obviously, Luthor has always seen himself as the hero, and Superman is what prevents the human race from moving forward, because for him, he has always been just another extraterrestrial threat. The ending is perfect, detailing how each of the two sees themselves and their humanity, love, and defeat. A treasure to cherish.
