During the final moments of Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist World War II drama “Inglorious Basterds” (2009), Brad Pitt’s foul-mouthed, no-nonsense team leader of the eponymous nazi-killing squad Lieutenant Aldo Raine asks the ruthless High Ranking S.S. Officer Hans Landa whether, once the war is over and he is left free, he will take his military regalia off. Typically, Lt. Raine would not hesitate terminating Third Reich officials of any ranking, for their crimes warrant only one fate. In the exceptional case that he must leave a Nazi alive for whichever reason, he would only do so under a strict condition: to mark them for life by carving a swastika on the individual’s forehead, an identifier for all the world to see that they would never be able to erase or hide, much less take off.

Time flies when you're having fun — and when you're trying to build a cinematic universe, too. Somehow, it's already been two years since DC Studios head honchos James Gunn and Peter Safran revealed the roadmap for their newly christened Dcu, announcing a wildly ambitious "Gods And Monsters" first phase comprising 10 projects. Now, as the first major movie from that slate, Gunn's own Superman, gets ready to take flight this July, Gunn and Safran have taken some time to give fans an update on their ever-evolving future plans — including Batman: The Brave And The Bold, a proposed live-action Teen Titans movie, Clayface, and much more besides.

At a gathering of the press last Friday, Gunn and Safran held court to talk films and TV shows that are in production, that need more time, and that are in the early stages of development. On the in production front, as of right...

There has been a lot of news from DC Studios in the past several days. Some of it has been great, some of it has been less than great, and some of it is somewhere in the No Man’s Land of interpretation and opinion that lies between the two. Some of it is a bit concerning when it comes to how this universe is coming together. Ideally, this universe will mimic what happens in the comics with standalone stories, crossovers, and huge Crisis style events. We don’t want a carbon copy of the MCU, but they are both based in comic books.

Let’s quickly go over some of the news recently broken.

Matt Reeves still hasn’t finished the script for The Batman which isn’t entirely surprising considering the huge delay. Gunn said it’s “not the plan” to have Pattinson become the Dcu’s Dark Knight,...

It’s been just over two years since James Gunn and Peter Safran mapped out their initial slate of projects for DC Studios and what would be the newly revamped Dcu, a new interconnected universe of superhero movies and films based on DC characters and kicking off in earnest with Gunn’s “Superman” arriving this summer.

So where do they stand? In a press event last week on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, Gunn and Safran held court with journalists about all they had cooking, the stuff that’s moving forward and the stuff that has lost the wind in its sails or has hit a snag. That included everything from details on the studio’s Batman films — both the Dcu film “The Brave and the Bold” and updates on the non-canon “The Batman 2” from Matt Reeves — as well as a potential “Teen Titans” movie and the update...

At the end of January 2023, DC Studios gathered select members of the press and announced plans for a Dcu slate dubbed "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters." Many fans pointed out the similarities to Warner Bros.'s ill-fated 11-movie Dceu slate reveal in 2014 and, unfortunately, some of these Dcu projects aren't moving along as well as hoped.

Talking to press, co-ceo Peter Safran said of The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker spin-off Waller, "We’ve taken a couple of cracks at it but still haven’t been able land. Waller has been a bumpy road."

The Authority, meanwhile, is "not the furthest along" according to James Gunn and, subsequently, "hasn't been made much [of] a priority." Safran explained, "It is a very big movie, if you’re going to do it properly. Some of the story elements perhaps that are in Superman and some of the other films we fast-tracked, step a little on the Authority.

According to DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran, the age of Gods and Monsters will soon be upon us. Like Marvel Studios’s “phases,” Gods and Monsters provides a roadmap for DC’s film and television initiative. Gunn and Safran shared an outline of their plan in January 2023, though, as we know, everything in Hollywood is subject to change, especially when the project is as vast as Gods and Monsters. According to the duo, they plan to release two live-action films and one animated film annually. In contrast, Max, the HBO-adjacent streaming service, wants two live-action and two animated series annually. However, 2025 is an exception, with Peacemaker Season 2 being the only live-action release this year.

“We’ve unified the brand, greenlit five theatrical films, made three live action-series and producing five animated series. We’ve also acquired and distributed a BAFTA and PGA winning documentary,” Safran said at a press conference on Friday.

In September, the trades revealed that DC Studios had tapped Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton to pen a Deathstroke/Bane team-up movie.

Many have wondered whether it's secretly a Secret Six project, though James Gunn has confirmed on multiple occasions that he has plans for DC's Terminator in the Dcu. What we don't know is who will play the fan-favourite villain, though Gunn likely has big plans for the character.

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, "[DC Studios] already have someone in mind to play Deathstroke in the Dcu so casting should be not too far [away]."

This is a positive update and one that suggests we'll soon see another major character added to the Dcu. How Gunn casts Slade Wilson will be very interesting, particularly as the character has frequently been portrayed as different ages on the page. 

We know actors like Josh Brolin and Timothy Olyphant turned down the...

Stars: Daisy Ridley, Matthew Tuck, Clive Owen, Lee Boardman, Rufus Jones, Taz Skylar, Ruth Gemmell | Written by Matthew Orton, Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams | Directed by Martin Campbell

Since the original Die Hard took the world by storm in 1988, it has inspired countless sequels and knock-offs. Often built around the same basic premise, these films have become a sub-genre in their own right. From Die Hard 2: Die Harder set in an airport, to Under Siege on a naval vessel, Passenger 57 on a plane, and even Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down in the White House, the formula has been repeated in various locations, with a lone hero taking on the bad guys and saving the hostages.

Now, Cleaner, directed by Martin Campbell and written by Matthew Orton, Simon Uttley (James Hyde – The Very Thought of You), and Paul Andrew Williams, brings the formula back to where it all started,...

Certain cinematic elements automatically pique my interest in a film. When it comes to Cleaner, the starring role of Daisy Ridley (Star Wars Sequel Trilogy), the direction of Martin Campbell, and a Die Hard-style premise all meet – if not exceed – the minimum requirements to get me to the big screen or, in this case, the comfort of my couch. However, these elements alone don’t mean expectations can’t be adjusted realistically.

Looking at the official synopsis of Cleaner, I expected nothing more, nothing less than a generic variation of the successful formula established by the aforementioned classic. Ridley plays Joey, a former soldier turned window cleaner who finds herself suspended 50 stories high on the exterior of a skyscraper after a group of radical activists takes control of an energy company’s annual gala. With 300 hostages and a terrorist infiltrator among the activists, Joey is forced to save the innocent...

2024 is over, and while it had some great movies like Dune: Part Two and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, they are nothing compared to what we have coming in 2025. From the first DC Studios film, Superman, to maybe the final Mission: Impossible film in which Tom Cruise will once again put his life in danger to entertain the heck out of us. So, let’s find out which of the movies that are coming in 2025 are the most anticipated.

The upcoming film is set during a weekend getaway that turns extremely bloody and violent when a human companion android malfunctions and begins killing people.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ is MCU’s most recent installment and Sam Wilson’s first solo adventure as Captain America as he faces Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross, who over the course of the movie becomes the Red Hulk.

The film has allegedly faced its share of challenges, including reshoots, plot leaks, and mixed reactions from test screenings. Some reports suggested that test audiences found the political themes unengaging, the action underwhelming, and the romance lacking chemistry.

To address these concerns, reshoots took place over the summer, reportedly adding $100 million to the budget. Some sources even hint that elements of the ‘World War Hulk’ storyline may have been incorporated into the story.

Spoiler Alert !!!Rumored Captain America: Brave New World Spoilers Ahead!

There’s still some time before Captain America: Brave New World will hit the screens to reveal if all the reported fan hype surrounding it amidst all its controversies was actually real. However, even before its release, the film is already under debate among fans for the elements it is rumored to comprise, including its reported post-credit scene.

While there are still a few days before the full movie will be available to watch in the cinemas, early screenings of the flick’s world premiere seem to have led to what is rumored to be the post-credits scene being leaked online. And while this was probably supposed to have fans hooked on the drama, the reviews this clip has been getting are nothing short of cooked.

Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World is set to hit theaters this week. Have you grabbed your tickets yet?

A newly released plot synopsis sheds light on what’s in store for Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) and Joaquín Torres (Danny Ramirez) as they step into their next big mission. The story kicks off with the duo completing a successful operation in Mexico, after which they are summoned to the White House by President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford).

Ross has a major request—he wants Sam, the new Captain America, to reassemble the Avengers Initiative. However, things take a drastic turn when an assassination attempt throws everything into chaos.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has hit some speed bumps recently. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels under-performed at the box office and some of the Disney+ shows were poorly received… but the universe rebounded with the success of Deadpool & Wolverine last year, and the next addition to the MCU, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14th. The film went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June. In December of ’23, another screenwriter was brought onto the project to write new material for reshoots, which seemed to be quite substantial. It was said that the reshoots were primarily done to rework three major action sequences – and this included adding Giancarlo Esposito into the mix as Sidewinder, the leader of the Serpent Society, while also dropping a Serpent Society character that was played by wrestler Seth Rollins.

The next addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Brave New World, is set to reach theatres on February 14, 2025 – and this one is going to be keeping viewers in theatres for a shorter time than previous films in the Captain America franchise have. Theatre listings have revealed that Captain America: Brave New World has a running time of 118 minutes, so it comes in at 6 minutes shorter than Captain America: The First Avenger (124 minutes), 18 minutes shorter than Captain America: The Winter Soldier (136 minutes), and 30 minutes shorter than Captain America: Civil War (148 minutes). While it ranks on the lower end of Marvel Cinematic Universe running times, there are several MCU movies that are shorter than 118 minutes: The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and The Marvels.

Even with all the reported reshoots and reworking plaguing the production and delaying the release, the brand recognition of Captain America and an added element of Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk being promoted, the movie is still being projected to make some coin on its opening weekend.

Captain America: Brave New World went into production in March of 2023, with filming lasting through June.

Seth Rollins on set for the new Captain America: New World Order movie.

‘Captain America: Brave New World’ is a highly awaited superhero movie that will see Sam Wilson taking on the mantle of Captain America in his first solo installment. It will be the fourth film in the ‘Captain America’ series, continuing from the TV series ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ (2021).

The film is directed by Julius Onah, who co-wrote the script with Peter Glanz and Matthew Orton. Anthony Mackie stars as Sam Wilson / Captain America, with other actors like Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, and Harrison Ford also starring.

In the movie, Sam Wilson finds himself involved in an international incident going up against several world powers and the Red Hulk. Several insider reports state that dead Celestial and adamantium will play a central role in the movie as World superpowers are trying to claim it for their own experiments.

The marketing for the movie is slowly starting considering that the...

At one point, Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke was set to play a big role in the Dceu. The plan was for Lex Luthor to reveal Batman’s secret identity to Slade Wilson in a post-credits scene in Justice League. This would have set up Deathstroke as the main villain in an earlier version of The Batman, which was supposed to be directed by Ben Affleck.

However, things changed when Affleck stepped down as director. Instead, Justice League’s theatrical version, directed by Joss Whedon, teased Deathstroke joining the “Injustice Society” in its post-credits scene. Although this shift disappointed many fans, there were still talks about a standalone Deathstroke film directed by Gareth Evans.

In September, reports suggested that DC Studios hired Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton to script a movie featuring both Deathstroke and Bane. Some even speculated it might secretly be a Secret Six project. Meanwhile,...

At one point, Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke was supposed to have a massive role in the Dceu. The plan was for Lex Luthor to reveal Batman’s secret identity to Slade Wilson in a post-credits scene from Justice League. This would have set up Deathstroke as the main villain in the earlier version of The Batman, the one starring and directed by Ben Affleck.

However, things changed when Affleck stepped down as director. Instead, the theatrical version of Justice League, helmed by Joss Whedon, teased Deathstroke joining the “Injustice Society” in its post-credits scene. While the shift disappointed many, there were still whispers of a standalone Deathstroke film directed by Gareth Evans of The Raid fame.

More recently, reports surfaced in September that DC Studios had hired Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton to script a movie featuring Deathstroke and Bane. Speculation arose that it might secretly be a Secret Six project.

There was a time when Joe Manganiello's Deathstroke was being lined up for a huge role in the Dceu. Original plans called for the villain to learn Batman's secret identity in Justice League's post-credits scene (courtesy of Lex Luthor), setting the stage for him to hunt down Bruce Wayne in the pre-Robert Pattinson version of The Batman. 

That all changed when Ben Affleck decided not to direct the movie, leading to Joss Whedon's Justice League showing Slade Wilson being enlisted to the "Injustice Society" instead. Despite the change, there were later rumblings about a Deathstroke spin-off helmed by The Raid's Gareth Evans.

Following an initial online rumor, we got confirmation that a live-action Teen Titans movie was in the works at DC Studios back in March with Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow writer Ana Nogueira enlisted to pen the script.

Updates have been few and far between since, but a recent Production Weekly logline did claim to reveal the key team members: "The Teen Titans are further apart than ever before… until Damian Wayne recruits Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and the new Kid Flash to join him in a fight against his own grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul."

However, we'd later hear that the movie will focus on a "pre-existing team being revived," which suggested that the roster would more likely consist of the original '60s comic book line-up: Kid Flash (Wally West), Robin (Dick Grayson), Aqualad (Garth) and Wonder Girl (Donna Troy).

Now, scooper Daniel Richtman is reporting that the movie's...

When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios, they revealed a large list of upcoming projects across animation, live-action, TV shows, and movies.

In addition to the projects already in development, new ones like Dynamic Duo and Teen Titans have been announced, while some, like the rumored Clayface movie, are still speculative.

Recently, industry insider Daniel Richtman shared a new set of leaks on his private Patreon, mostly focused on lesser-known projects within the Dcu.

Let’s start with the Bane & Deathstroke movie. A few weeks ago, it was announced that DC Studios is working on a live-action film featuring these two iconic villains. The script is written by Matthew Orton, but no director has been confirmed yet.

Details about the movie are scarce, and it’s still unclear whether it will be part of the main Dcu or set in another cinematic universe, like the Batman Epic Crime Saga.

When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the reins of DC Studios they announced a long slate of planned projects. These projects spanned both animation and live-action, TV shows and movies alike.

Besides those projects that are currently in development, new subsequent projects have been announced like Dynamic Duo, and Teen Titans, and some projects are currently only rumored, like the Clayface movie.

Daniel Richtman, a popular industry insider recently posted a new round of leaks on his private Patreon account and most of them are related to “lesser-known” projects within the Dcu.

Now let’s start with that Bane & Deathstroke movie. A few weeks back it was announced that DC Studios is developing a live-action movie that will focus on 2 notable villains, Bane and Deathstroke. The script is by Matthew Orton but no director has been attached so far.

Not much is known about the movie at this point,...

Back in September, we got word that two of the Dark Knight's most formidable foes are set to forces for a new live-action Dcu movie, with a Bane and Deathstroke project officially in development at DC Studios.

Details were few and far between and no director was attached at the time, but Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton was said to be working on the script.

A follow-up report suggested that other characters might also appear, as it wasn't clear whether Bane and Deathstroke "would be the central figures of the project." This led to speculation that it could actually be another supervillain team-up, possibly even a Secret Six movie.

James Gunn never actually commented on the report, but he has now confirmed that plans are in place to introduce Slade Wilson (at least) to the Dcu at some point.

James Gunn confirms there's plans for 'Deathstroke'...

Cap is back… again!

Marvel unveiled the latest trailer for “Captain America: Brave New World” at the first-ever D23 Brazil fan event on Saturday. Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson/Captain America, and Danny Ramirez, who portrays Joaquin Torres/Falcon, were there to greet fans before the new trailer was shown.

The film includes Mackie as Sam Wilson, Harrison Ford’s U.S. President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, Ramirez as the new Falcon, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Shira Haas as the Israeli superhero Sabra, Giancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross and Tim Blake Nelson as the Leader.

Mackie took over the Cap mantle from Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers, who famously starred in the previous three Captain America movies and the four Avengers films. At the end of 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” Steve bids farewell to his fellow superheroes and goes back in time to spend a new life with his beloved Peggy Carter.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been in a holding pattern of late. The once all-powerful franchise that dominated the box office for a decade plus to the delight of comic book fans and disdain of cinephiles started experiencing turbulence in 2021 with the mixed response to "Eternals" before finding the ditch a year ago with "The Marvels." When Jonathan Majors, who'd been cast as Kang (aka the franchise's next Thanos), was convicted of assault and harassment, Marvel Studios was forced to find a new way forward.

The MCU hit a throwing save this summer with "Deadpool & Wolverine," an inherited franchise from what is now known as 20th Century Studios. The film didn't push the overall narrative forward, but it made a barge-full of cash and bought them some time as the prepare to take their first step forward post-Majors with "Captain America: Brave New World."

A new trailer has...

Exclusive: Matt Charman, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, has a new television thriller.

British pay broadcaster Sky has ordered Prisoner with Charman set to write and serve as showrunner. The series will be produced by Charman’s own production company Binocular Productions, which was the company behind Netflix spy series Treason.

The series is a relationship drama that dives into what a serial killer can teach an ordinary person about what it takes to survive in his world. Casting is underway. It is expected to shoot next year.

Charman is best known for his film work, which also includes Amazon original Killer Heat, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley and Richard Madden and Oasis, which also starred Madden alongside Anil Kapoor. He also exec produced Operation Finale, written by Matthew Orton, about the hunt for Adolf Eichmann, directed by Chris Weitz. He was also set...

Venom: The Last Dance star Tom Hardy has revealed whether he would want to reprise the role of Bane in the upcoming Deathstroke/Bane movie from DC Studios. One of the mystery projects that is being developed by DC Studios is the Bane and Deathstroke team-up movie, which will be written by Matthew Orton. While it is unclear if it is part of James Gunn's DC Universe or not, this will bring the iconic Batman villains back to the big screen, as Bane hasn't been seen since 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, while Deathstroke only had a cameo in the Dceu.

During a recent red carpet event for Venom 3, Et Online caught up with Hardy and got his brief thoughts on the untitled-Bane/Deathstroke movie that is in the works at DC Studios. When asked if he would be down to play Bane again in this film, the former...

The very first test-screenings for Captain America: Brave New World (then known as New World Order) were said to have been met with a mostly negative response, which is believed to have prompted Marvel Studios to order extensive reshoots.

Additional photography for the sequel took place over a 4-month period, with Marvel enlisting Moon Knight writer Matthew Orton to pen new scenes and material for the film. Reshoots are the norm (especially for major studio tentpoles), but such a significant period of AP led to speculation that the studio must be making some major changes to the story.

Some new test-screenings reportedly took place last week, and, based on what we're hearing, this version of the movie didn't go over much better.

Apparently, two screenings were held, with attendees split into groups with either a green or red bracelet. An initial report from World of Reel claimed that two cuts of the film were shown,...

The upcoming Deathstroke and Bane movie offers a great opportunity for DC to capitalize on the Dceu's unused plans for Deathstroke. The lineup of upcoming DC movies and shows has seen a lot of changes in recent history, with the end of the Dceu and beginning of the DC Universe meaning a fresh new world and fresh new slate of projects with it. While the likes of the Dcu's Superman movie and Batman-focused The Brave and The Bold film are arguably predictable releases, plenty of less easily anticipated titles have also been announced among them.

One of the more unexpected announcements is that of a Deathstroke and Bane movie, which was revealed to be in the works in late September 2024. While there is currently no director reportedly attached to the project, Moon Knight and Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton is set to write the script for the movie,...

It feels like the DC Universe is on the crest of a wave right now. On one hand, we've got James Gunn's McU-style franchise in the works. Then there's Matt Reeves' The Batman Universe, which is currently airing its spinoff series The Penguin. And what's more, there's a new Joker movie in theaters!

In the midst of all the hype over the 'Batverse,' The Hollywood Reporter recently dropped the huge news that DC Studios is working on bringing more of Batman's most iconic villains to the big screen: specifically, Bane and Deathstroke, who would feature in their own movie. It's being penned by Matthew Orton, who also worked on the McU's upcoming Captain America: Brave New World. The Bane-Deathstroke movie won't be a standalone film, but rather part of James Gunn and Peter Safran's all-encompassing 'Dcu.' Currently, there is no director attached to the project.

The upcoming Bane and Deathstroke movie has the potential to be more than just a surprising team-up between the Batman villains, and I'm convinced the DC movie will be revealed to serve as the replacement for the Suicide Squad on the big screen. With James Gunn and Peter Safran at DC Studios, the company is looking at the next decade of DC releases, which includes movies, series, animation, video games, and more. I'm excited about this new era of content, which will feature the announced DC Universe projects, more surprise entries in the Dcu, Elseworlds movies and shows, and more.

One of the most exciting projects said to be happening at DC is the recently reported Bane and Deathstroke movie. The latest actor to play Bane in a live-action movie was Tom Hardy in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, while the latest movie version of Deathstroke was Joe Manganiello's...

Dave Bautista has had an excellent relationship with DC Universe co-ceo James Gunn since appearing in his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, and the actor has spoken many times of a desire to play a certain DC role. Bautista's Drax quickly became a humorous and beloved part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and remained such until his seeming final appearance in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3. It appears that Bautista has moved on from the role - but, despite finding success in other genres, he has spoken of a willingness to return to another kind of superhero movie role.

The first chapter of the new DC Universe has been outlined in some detail, painting an exciting picture for the future of the franchise. This has included a range of unexpected projects, including a Teen Titans movie and a Booster Gold project. Some new details seem to indicate that...

The Dcu is set to explore a variety of heroes and villains in upcoming movies, games and TV shows, but an unexpected team-up also appears to be in the works in the form of a Bane and Deathstroke movie. While the Dceu has officially been retired, and Warner Bros. is getting prepared to launch their new Dcu under the watchful eye of James Gunn and Peter Safran, the list of projects confirmed remains fairly small. Ahead of the Dcu's debut in theaters with Superman coming in 2025, there are a handful of shows set in the Dcu and it's accompanying Elseworlds.

Beyond that, the Dcu is expected to introduce many of the biggest players from DC's Justice League over the course of the next few years, but there will also be a number of villains who get a chance to take the spotlight. In fact, after a recent tease from James...

DC Studios is developing a Dcu movie that will crossover the fan-favorite Batman villains Deathstroke and Bane.

The studio is currently working on multiple projects as part of their relaunch of the new DC franchise under the management of James Gunn and Peter Safran. It will begin later this year with the release of Creature Commandos.

With the arrival of Superman next year, fans are now looking forward to seeing how they'll introduce the Dcu version of Batman. As it turns out, the villains will also be getting their spotlight as well.

Deathstroke and Bane Movie in the Works at DC Studios

Reports have confirmed that a Deathstroke and Bane Dcu team-up movie is currently in development at DC Studios.

As of writing, there is no cast and crew attached to the project aside from Captain America: Brave New World...

Two of Batman’s most popular foes, Bane and Deathstroke, are set to share the screen as Warner Bros’ new look DC Universe continues to take shape.

Both Bane and Deathstroke have graced cinema screens before. When it comes to the comic books, the duo are among the more beloved members of Batman’s colourful cast of villains, and it looks like that popularity has led to a supervillain team-up movie that will introduce the characters to James Gunn’s all-new DC Universe.

Next year will see Warner Bros’ new line of DC movies kick off with Superman: Legacy, written and directed by Gunn himself. Following that, a string of films have been announced including a Batman movie, The Brave And The Bold and Supergirl: Woman Of Tomorrow. Then there are planned TV shows such as HBO’s Lanterns, a space cop series that will feature the Green Lantern corps.

DC Studios has yet to cast a Batman; they only have a title in “Batman: Brave And The Bold,” but it’s already plotting a team-up film featuring Caped Crusader villains. Several trades report that DC’s co-exec leads James Gunn and Peter Safran are quietly plotting a movie that would pair Batman antagonists Bane and Deathstroke, and Matthew Orton, the screenwriter behind “Captain America: Brave New World” is penning the script.

Despite it now being nearly two years since Warner Bros. Discovery announced that it was putting its beleaguered DC Comics line of superhero films into the hands of actual money makers James Gunn and Peter Safran, the whole apparatus has still felt pretty tentative to date. Partly, that's just because,...

While the last few years have been quite tumultuous for the DC brand, they have been consistently doing justice to its rogues gallery. With the new installment in Matt Reeves’ The Batman Universe, The Penguin, opening to critical acclaim, which will be followed by next month’s Joker: Folie à Deux, things are looking pretty good for DC’s troubled souls.

Given the title of Dcu’s first chapter, Gods and Monsters, James Gunn isn’t pulling punches with the new universe’s villainous line-up, which is now set to incorporate Bane and Deathstroke. Considering fans...

Yesterday evening, the news broke that DC Studios is developing a Bane & Deathstroke (Deathstroke & Bane?) team-up movie from Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton.

For fans of the iconic villains, this came as an exciting development, even if it does seem a little odd for James Gunn and Peter Safran to seemingly be prioritising these two over the likes of Batman and Wonder Woman.

It didn't take long for some fans to point out that this feels like a blatant way to try and emulate Deadpool & Wolverine's success. However, there could be more to the project than meets the eye.

According to Deadline's report, "Exact plot details are still uncertain and sources also stressed the two characters would be in the movie but it’s unclear if they would be the central figures of the project."

In other words, it may not be a feature revolving solely around the two Batman villains.

DC Studios is busy creating a new cinematic universe, building the Dcu from the ashes of the former Dceu. Meanwhile, there are separate projects underway, including Matt Reeves’ The Batman franchise and Todd Phillips’ Joker series, which is set to release its second installment in just a week.

Recent reports from The Hollywood Reporter indicate that two more well-known Batman villains, Bane and Deathstroke, are also getting their own solo films.

DC Studios, led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, is developing a script by Matthew Orton, the writer of the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World film.

As of now, there is no director attached to the project. Both villains have appeared on the big screen before. Bane first debuted in Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy, portrayed by Tom Hardy, whose performance earned a lot of praise. His role in The Dark Knight Rises elevated him to a prominent status among Batman villains,...

DC Studios is currently hard at work trying to develop Dcu a new cinematic universe on the grave of the former Dceu. But we also know that a separate thing is going on with ‘The Batman’ franchise helmed by Matt Reeves, and Todd Phillip’s ‘Joker’ franchise which is releasing a second installment in a week.

Now the latest reports by The Hollywood Reporter claim that two more popular Batman villains are getting their solo movies – Bane and Deathstroke.

DC Studios, under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, is working on a script by Matthew Orton, the writer behind the upcoming ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ film.

Currently, no director is attached to the project. Both villains already appeared on the silver screen. Bane debuted in ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy by Nolan played by Tom Hardy, with plenty of fans praising his portrayal of the character. This appearance...

Some unexpected, but exciting comic book movie news to take us into the weekend here, with two of the Dark Knight's most formidable foes joining forces for a new live-action Dcu movie.

THR reports that a Bane and Deathstroke project is officially in development at DC Studios. Details are sparse, but we know that Captain America: Brave New World writer Matthew Orton is working on the script. No director is attached.

Both characters have previously appeared on the big screen, with Tom Hardy playing Bane in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, and Joe Manganiello making a (very) brief appearance as ruthless mercenary Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke, in the post-credits scene of Joss Whedon's theatrically-released Justice League movie.

Dave Bautista has often expressed interest in playing Bane, so it'll be interesting to see if he gets in touch with his old friend and Guardians of the Galaxy...

Villains really are the new superheroes.

DC Studios has tapped screenwriter Matthew Orton (“Captain America: Brave New World”) to write a feature film that will involve Batman villains Bane and Deathstroke, Variety has confirmed. The project is still in its infancy: There are no stars or director attached, and DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran have been clear that they will not greenlight a project until they are satisfied with a complete screenplay.

The movie follows a growing trend in the superhero space of projects focusing as much on the villains as on the heroes, from the ongoing HBO series “The Penguin” and Disney+ series “Agatha All Along” to Warner Bros. upcoming sequel “Joker: Folie à Deux” and Sony’s upcoming Marvel adaptations “Venom: The Last Dance” and “Kraven the Hunter.”

Bane and Deathstroke have also appeared in previous DC adaptations. Most famously, Tom Hardy played Bane in...
