The holy trilogy of James Gunn’s DC Universe is slowly coming collectively. Half one, after all, is Superman, which is now in theaters. A Batman film is being written (along with Matt Reeves’ new Batman film), and, of late, there’s been a lot of speak about Marvel Lady too. As co-president of DC Studios, Gunn not too long ago confirmed a Marvel Lady script is being written, and subsequent rumors steered the movie was being fast-tracked. Properly, that’s partially true, Gunn stated.
“It’s a precedence, however I wouldn’t name that fast-tracked,” Gunn wrote on Threads not too long ago. “Nothing goes to be shot until we’re as certain as we could be that the script is nice.” That’s been Gunn and companion Peter Safran’s mantra since day one. Don’t make, or announce, a film until the script is nice sufficient that it’ll truly be made. It’s additionally why Superman‘s finish credit score scenes don’t tease something. Gunn desires to solely make or speak about films which are taking place.
That additionally knowledgeable one other latest rumor. Buzz began that Gunn and firm have been searching for an actress with a primarily TV background to play Marvel Lady, which is in step with their casting of Home of the Dragon star Milly Alcock as Supergirl. However, once more, Gunn says that’s utterly unfaithful.
“I’d by no means in 1,000,000 years search for a serious position based mostly on whether or not they did TV, movies, or no matter,” Gunn stated. “It’s all in regards to the casting. I didn’t forged Milly due to her previous, however as a result of she was the most effective one for the position. (However we’re additionally not casting WW, nor even discussing it, till a script is completed).”
So there you’ve gotten it. The Marvel Lady script isn’t completed, and till it’s, there gained’t be casting. The identical goes for Batman. Now, certainly everybody at Warner Bros., Gunn included, would like to have new Batman and Marvel Lady movies in theaters tomorrow. However they should be completed proper, and so we’ll wait and see the way it all performs out.
