James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is meant to be Guardians of the Galaxy, but it may not be the characters’ final story — at least if you trust the Creature Commandos, the animated series that will kick off James Gunn’s “I’m very excited about Creature Commandos,” Sean told Polygon in a recent interview. “I love the scripts. I’m about halfway through recording my part of it. I played two roles again. James loves to give me two roles in things, which, I’m not going to complain.” Related Creature Commandos, which James is writing, is yet another misfits team-up story in the same continuum as his 2021 movie The Suicide Squad, its TV sequel Peacemaker, and the planned series Waller, which is set to follow the further adventures of Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis), the controlling agent behind the Suicide Squad’s various incarnations. But unlike all those franchise installments, Creature Commandos will be animated, and will send various monstrous DC characters on missions together, once again under Amanda Waller’s command. Gunn will play Weasel, as he did in The Suicide Squad, and another new character: G.I. Robot. “[G.I. Robot] who is really just a robot with only one raison d’etre, which is to kill Nazis,” Gunn says. “He hates Nazis. Which... magnificent! Who doesn’t hate Nazis? It’s been really fun, and we’re in the middle of it. We’re recording, and I’m going to go back into the booth next week.” Image: Warner Bros. Animation There have been a number of diffe...

The same thing with Marvel. I mean, even the MCU is relatively new. So I don’t know if there’s any innate things about tone, because I think that what both MCU and DCU need to do is to have a wider range of tones than they presently do. I think they work to do that, but I think they can do a better job of it.” Why DC Fans Should Invest in Blue Beetle This official confirmation from the DC Studios co-head follows It's also exactly what Blue Beetle's own "we're ready for the whole nine..."

Directed by Angel Manuel Soto, Blue Beetle will be the first DC Studios movie to be centred on a Latino character. Maridueña previously opened up about this, explaining Warner Bros. "We see some of these other superheroes, who are able to hide from their family the fact that they're a superhero, but [Jaime's] family is right there, on that first transformation," Maridueña said. "To come through this journey together is something that we haven't seen before in superhero movies, and that really is the beating heart of this movie. Although this was my first time being a superhero and coming into a character like this, it can't happen without the family." He continued: "That theme, whether or not you're Latino, transcends ethnicity and color of skin because that's something that we can all relate to. That's been the most exciting part. Although it is undeniably and unapologetically Latino, everyone will understand. Everyone understands Jaime." Blue Beetle will be released in cinemas on August 18.

• • • • James Gunn is dishing on all the upcoming plans for the DC Universe. Gunn, 56, and Peter Safran, 57, officially Gunn explained that the titles will exist in one universe and one story, and if something is outside of that story — such as Matt Reeves’ “ “As many of you know, DC has been disconnected in film and television for a long time,” Gunn explained in a He revealed that four projects will come out over the next year, kicking off with “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” which he explained has always been in part of his own area of the DCU but connects very well and moves directly into “The Flash.” Here are just a few of our plans. Up, up, and away! He said that “ “The Flash” moves into “ “Aquaman 2” — a k a “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” starring Jason Momoa — leads into the next projects, which involve an eight- to 10-year plan of what DC Studios will be that Gunn, Safran and a group of writers have started to map out. The first chapter is called “Gods and Monsters,” and Gunn shared details on the slate of projects. ‘Blue Beetle’ will be DC Comics’ first Latino superhero flick ‘Creature Commandos’ (TV) Part of the first chapter includes “Creature Commandos” — an animated series written by Gunn for “Something we’re gonna do that’s a little bit different at DC is we’re going to have characters move into animation, out of animation, usually having the same actor play their voice as who plays them in live-action,” Gunn said. The show is already in production. ‘ Waller’ (T...

Earlier, the star of Blue Beetle, “If we get one movie or a trilogy and f*cking fold this into the Justice League shit, we’re ready for the whole nine. For me and Angel [Manuel Soto, director] and the team, we kicked ass with this movie. It just depends on numbers.“. However, it was a little murky on which regime of the DC film universe the origin story would fall under. The new head of DC at Warner Bros., James Gunn, recently appeared on the Inside of You podcast with Smallville‘s Michael Rosenbaum and has confirmed that Blue Beetle will be the first character in his DC universe. According to Superman: Legacydirector stated, “I mean the first DCU character, for sure, is Blue Beetle, and the first full DCU movie is Superman.” While it may be a curious quote, to differentiate the first DCU “character” from the first “full DCU movie,” Gunn may perhaps refer to Blue Beetle being a film that was conceived and made for the previous universe incarnation before Gunn’s first officially produced film after accepting his new position at DC studios. However, as this is a Blue Beetle origin story, it would open up possibilities in the future for Gunn to bring the character into crossovers with the newly rebooted films apart from sequels. The official synopsis for Blue Beetle reads, Recent college grad Jaime Reyes returns home full of aspirations for his future, only to find that home is not quite as he left it. As he searches to find his purpose in the world, fate intervenes when Jaim...

Speaking on the "If you look at the MCU, there are very few traditional superheroes," Gunn said. "There was never a guy with a secret identity until "But there is a bit more of a fantasy element to the DCU, because there are these larger-than-life superheroes and for me, there's Superman and Clark Kent. They're two different characters, and you have to find a way to deal with them that's as grounded as possible within this world of DC." “ Marvel kept up the secret identity schtick for, spoilers for the MCU's Spider-Man trilogy ahead, Gunn said the DCU will embrace DC's fantastical world as well, not treading on the MCU's heavy use of New York City, San Francisco, and other real life locations. "One of the things that I love about DC, that excites me about DC, is that in a way it's another alternate history," he said. "It is Gotham City and Metropolis and Star City and Bludhaven, and all these different places in this other reality, and it makes it a little bit like Westeros in some ways. "I love it in that way. I love that we get to create true worldbuilding in DC, it isn't just 'we're throwing some superheroes on Earth.' I think right now, that's one of the key differences." Gunn and fellow co-CEO Peter Safran finally unveiled their DCU master plan in February, confirming
