Recently, Superman actor Edi Gathegi opened up about his previous superhero role. The star portrayed Darwin in X-Men: First Class, during which his character met an unfortunate demise early on. Now, he will play Michael Holt/Mister Terrific in James Gunn's Superman. The film also stars David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Anthony Carrigan, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, and Nathan Fillion.

Per director James Gunn, visual effects for Superman have officially been completed, meaning the overall editing process for the first DC Universe film is complete. Set for a July 11 release, it stars David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan, Anthony Carrigan, Edi Gathegi, Sara Sampaio, Isabela Merced, and Nathan Fillion.

Steven Spielberg has been vocal about his opinions on superhero films, but equally, his positive praise of one MCU movie bodes well for the DCU's Superman. The superhero genre has received a lot of negativity from so-called "serious" filmmakers. Despite dominating the box office, creating incredible demand, and inspiring vast communities of like-minded fans, not everyone in Hollywood considers superhero movies to be cinema.

The DCU is steadily building their universe and already with the first three projects, it feels like they are correcting a major MCU problem. The MCU has been dominating the box office since 2008 when Iron Man was released. However, since the Infinity Saga ended, and the MCU shifted focus to covering multiple mediums, including TV and film, things have slowed down considerably. Meanwhile, the DCU is about to debut their first movie with Superman.

Batman: The Animated Series and Ben Affleck's DCEUBatman couldn't be more different, with the animated version proving itself superior in some key ways. While one is hailed as a near-definitive portrayal of Gotham’s protector, the other has sparked debate over tone, character, and legacy. Set within its own dark, noir-inspired world, Batman: The Animated Series remains a benchmark for comic book adaptations. Meanwhile, the DCEU Batman, introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, exists in a shared cinematic universe with varied tones and priorities.

Suicide Squadstar Jai Courtney addressed recent reports that he may return to the DC Universe as Digger Harkness/Captain Boomerang. The actor first portrayed the role in 2016's Suicide Squad before reprising it in 2021's The Suicide Squad, the latter of which was directed by DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn. Other notable cast in these films include Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, John Cena as Peacemaker, and Idris Elba as Bloodsport. Despite surviving the first movie, Captain Boomerang was killed off in the opening scene of The Suicide Squad.

John Wick creator Chad Stahelski explains why superhero action scenes often fail to reach their full potential in movies from Marvel and DC. Marvel and DC movies have presented dozens of action scenes ranging from run-of-the-mill fight sequences to extraordinary battles like Avengers: Endgame's packed final fight andBatman's warehouse fight from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, action scenes in the superhero genre aren't known for their consistency.

Keanu Reeves is one of the biggest names in Hollywood, and a popular fancast to the DCU, but he's already playing the perfect DC character. While the DCU is steadily building a new rebooted universe under the careful guidance of James Gunn and Peter Safran, DC has been telling their stories on the big screen for many years already. Of course, the most recent DCEU struggled to stay the course due to numerous issues, but even earlier, DC adapted stories like Christopher Reeves' Superman, and several Batman movies.
