Earlier this week, the moderators of the r/DCULeaks page revealed that Steven Yeun had dropped out of Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts. Hours later, the trades confirmed the news, giving the Reddit page some credibility.
As the name suggests, it typically shared DCU news and last night claimed that a Plastic Man movie is in early development at DC Studios. They added that the Korean language Huntress movie we've heard about will focus on Helena Bertinelli who, in the DCU, will be portrayed as half-Italian and half-Korean.
The page also revealed that John Logan (Skyfall) is no longer attached to pen the screenplay for The Brave and the Bold.
However, before we could even type those details up for you, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn took to Threads to respond to a fan who asked whether Logan was ever attached to the Batman reboot. To that, he simply said, "No he was not." He later added that the writer was never in talks.
The filmmaker then took the time to laugh off a detailed leak for Waller which claimed the Max series will run for 13 episodes and feature both Freddie Stroma as Vigilante and Sean Gunn's Maxwell Lord.
Many fans are pointing out that Gunn said nothing about Plastic Man and Huntress, leading to speculation those scoops do have some truth to them.
There have been rumblings about both projects for several months now and the Superman: Legacy helmer has never spoken out on either. Then again, he doesn't have time to debunk every rumour which does the rounds online and probably spends too much of his time doing so, anyway!
Later asked about the online chatter surrounding the DCU's John Stewart being in his early 20s, Gunn made his feelings known by responding. "Guys. If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times. Everything out there is bullshit unless it comes from me. People don’t even know the writer on the show. How do you think they’d know [the] age [of] the character?"
Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
David Corenswet is playing the Man of Steel, while Rachel Brosnahan has been tapped to star as Lois Lane. Other recent casting additions include Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Superman: Legacy is currently set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025.
