'Matt's Slow': James Gunn Updates on The Batman Part II
It was 2022 when Matt Reeves' The Batman came out in theaters, and everyone is waiting for the sequel, but it's unfortunately getting constantly delayed.
With some fans convinced that the DCU may have cancelled The Batman Part II , DCU co-head James Gunn has confirmed that the movie isn't scrapped, but they're just waiting on the script. In a recent talk with Rolling Stone, Gunn confirmed, ' We don't have a script. Matt's slow. Let him take his time. Let him do what he's doing. God, people are mean. Let him do his thing, man.'
We don't know exactly what is taking Reeves so long with the script, but some are speculating that he's actually been approved for two more movies, and he's going to be shooting The Batman Part II and Part III back-to-back. With the Penguin series being so positively received, it wouldn't be surprising if DC decided to go all-in on this version of the Dark Knight and just have Reeves release two movies within a year of each other—like they did with the Wicked films and the last two Avengers movies.
Besides the Reeves-verse, there is also the case of the DCU Batman who is going to be sharing a world with Gunn's Superman . So far, the only thing we know about him is that he's going to be coming with a Bat-family, but no actor has been attached, and the script is still being worked on by Gunn and a separate writer.
The Batman: Part II is expected to come to cinemas on Oct. 1, 2027.

'That's Not His Arm': The Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket is the New Dune Popcorn Bucket
'Are you the Mr. Fantastic Popcorn Bucket or are you just happy to see me?' We know that Fantastic Four: First Steps is going to be getting a big Galactus popcorn bucket, but there is also another bucket based on the main four members, and the reveal for the Mr. Fantastic popcorn bucket is getting the same reactions as the one from Dune not too long ago . Check this out: First look at a Reed Richards popcorn bucket for 'THE FANTASTIC FOUR' — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) June 18, 2025 While the bucket is obviously showing off Mr. Fantastic's powers by having him stretch his arm around the bucket, the fact that his left arm isn't showing and the bucket seems to be directly connected to his crotch immediately prompted the rest of Twitter to make jokes about how Reed is actually using his 'third arm' to hold the bucket. Why does it look like…. Nevermind — CHRIS (@ChrisBlackadder) June 18, 2025 If anything, it does feel like Mr. Fantastic is a very tricky character to market nowadays since his powers always lead to someone somehow finding a way to make a joke about how he can stretch his penis. Remember when Reed Richards was released for Marvel Rivals earlier this year? Mr Fantastic — Siqintha Hedd (@Loudwindow) January 3, 2025 This isn't the edit, but you get the point. Well, the joke has been made multiple times, even in the official comics; so I guess anyone who is trying to market Mr. Fantastic should be well aware what to expect when you have a guy with stretchy powers. Good thing DC's Plastic Man isn't as popular because we wouldn't be hearing the end of it. Catch Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes to cinemas on July 25.

Rachel Brosnahan Says People Who Act in Bad Superhero Films Need to ‘Stand By It'
With the surplus of comic book movies today, there was always bound to be some terrible films, and some actors—like Dakota Johnson—have been open about projects like Madame Web bombing not being her fault. Rachel Brosnahan is about to make her superhero jump with James Gunn's Superman soon, and though we haven't met her Lois Lane yet, she has something to say to other actors who are quick to dismiss their comic book movie work. Talking to Amanda Seyfried for Interview Magazine, Brosnahan explains: 'I don't know why people say yes [to a project] only to then turn around and complain about it… Look, I don't want to shit on other actors, but there was a minute where it was cool to not like superhero movies and to look back on projects like this and pooh-pooh them. Do it or don't do it, and then stand by it.' While Brosnahan didn't mention anybody specific, a lot of fans immediately thought of a few people who had been trashing their previous projects. Besides Johnson, Chris Hemsworth had also opened up about not being happy with the last Thor film; and Ryan Reynolds has infamously shat on his Green Lantern run even long after he found success with Deadpool. Though I appreciate anyone who owns up to mistakes, I do have to say that Brosnahan has it lucky so far not having been cast in a bad superhero film. I mean, she pretty much hit the jackpot moving directly to Superman from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ; god forbid she was a secondary character in a mid Marvel movie somewhere in the 2010s. For now, watch out for Brosnahan in Superman which comes to cinemas on July 11.

Looks Like There's Hope for Mindhunter Fans After All
Netflix's Mindhunter managed to deliver two seasons before it got cancelled on Netflix, and while a lot of people cried for the series to come back, it looked like David Fincher had moved on. But as it turns out, there could be hope for the show after all. In a recent talk with CBR, Holt McCallany says he met with Fincher recently and says the series could come back in the form of a trilogy of films. He explains: 'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance. I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.' While the series has managed to showcase several real-life serial killers, one big cliffhanger involves the BTK Killer who is shown committing his murders around the same time as the series; but it's ultimately more tragic when you realize that BTK was caught in 2005. For now, McCallany says that ' stars would all have to align' to get a new Mindhunter trilogy going on Netflix, but with Stranger Things ending, maybe Netflix could look back at one of their more popular shows soon. Besides Mindhunter , there have also been calls for a GLOW movie which I've also been campaigning for, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens. In the meantime, you can watch two excellent seasons of Mindhunter now streaming on Netflix.
