Although different people will have different picks, when it comes to picking their favorite James Bond, at least we can agree that all the 007 actors over the years have been ridiculously handsome. But initially, in Daniel Craig’s case, he wasn’t seen as attractive enough for the part of James Bond.
While this statement might appear ridiculous at first glance, as Craig isn’t only handsome but also the best Bond since Sean Connery, Martin Campbell had some genuine reason behind his hesitancy. Even though the director had no problem with the actor and was always his first choice, for a moment, he was worried because Craig didn’t fit the mold for a traditional-looking Bond.

Superman/Clark Kent is one of the first superheroes to come to life and among the first to have made his live-action debut. Ever since Kirk Alyn became the first person to portray the DC hero in live-action in 1948, there have been dozens of actors who have portrayed the character till now. Among the many actors, Christopher Reeves, Henry Cavill, Brandon Routh, and Dean Cain are often heralded for their incredible portrayals.

But ask DC fans about who played the best Clark Kent in live-action, the answer is none of the above. Instead, several fans feel it is Tom Welling who was the best Clark Kent that DC ever had.

Zack Snyder had so many plans for Henry Cavill’s Superman during the reign of the DC Extended Universe, but unfortunate circumstances led to the downfall of the franchise. Now, with James Gunn already rebuilding the new era of heroes and villains under DC Universe, can his version live up to the game?

With the news of the upcoming Superman movie, it’s quite inevitable to wonder what would have happened with Cavill’s version had he never taken off the cape and suit.
Zack Snyder Reveals Original Plans For Henry Cavill’s Superman
Zack Snyder spoke with GQ and extensively discussed Superman’s narrative in the once-promising Dceu franchise.
It’s birth, deaths, and resurrection, really is what the first three movies are. In the end, they’re Superman stories. I think the people get sidetracked by Batman a little bit.

During his DC reign, Zack Snyder’s rather abrupt departure left many questioning if he’d ever return. Despite whispers of unfinished business, Snyder declared that the chapter was closed. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, it seems that one thread persists, the siren call of The Dark Knight Returns. The tale resonates with Snyder so much that he is ready to jump back in to adapt this to the big screens if DC ever calls him up.

Though Snyder remains adamant that the chapter is done for, there’s a glimmer of possibility. Should his dear friend James Gunn extend an offer, particularly one involving the adaptation of Frank Miller’s iconic work, Snyder might just find himself drawn back into the fold, ready to reignite the Bat-signal once more.

The Arrow series is undoubtedly one of the best superhero Television series that became the originator of the Arrowverse. It revolves around Oliver Queen, a billionaire playboy who assumes the vigilante persona to fight crime and corruption in the city.
Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow
While avid fans are well aware that Stephen Amell became the face of the DC Comics character Green Arrow there, many would be surprised to know that Justin Hartley, who portrayed the character in Smallville, was never considered for the role in the Arrowverse.
Smallville‘s Oliver Queen Actor, Justin Hartley Was Not Even an Option for Arrow
Long before Stephen Amell portrayed Oliver Queen/Green Arrow in the Arrow series, Justin Hartley was the one playing the role in Smallville. The latter was introduced in Smallville Season 6 as a recurring character who became a catalyst in Clark Kent (Tom Welling) fulfilling his destiny.

More photos from the set of The Witcher season 4 have been shared online, and this time we have an actual first glimpse of Liam Hemsworth suited-up as Geralt of Rivia!
The recent third season of Netflix's fantasy adventure series was original Geralt actor Henry Cavill's last, as the Man of Steel star announced his decision to part ways with the streamer's adaptation of the best-selling novels back in 2022.
Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) will take over as the titular monster hunter from season 4 on, and a recent photo from the set featured his stunt-double Joel Adrian in-costume. Adrian looked enough like Hemsworth to fool a lot of people, but these snaps spotlight the man himself.
The photos show Hemsworth as Geralt doing battle with Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu), and appear to be recreating a scene from season 3 which saw the mage emerge victorious. There is also one shot of Geralt...

Kevin Costner’s abrupt exit from Yellowstone brought up his issues with creator Taylor Sheridan. His divorce from Christine Baumgartner also figured into the whole Yellowstone debacle. A similar conflict happened in Costner’s career almost three decades before his ongoing issue. At that time, Costner entered into a heated battle with the director of Waterworld and his close friend, Kevin Reynolds.

The conflict between the two led to Reynolds quitting the film before the completion of production of the film. The rest of the film was helmed by Costner, though Reynolds retained the director’s credit. Interestingly, Costner’s marital issues with his first wife Cindy Silva also allegedly played a role in his on-set behavior.

Like its titular superhero, The Flash arrived quickly last June and was just as quickly forgotten. Sure, it was talked about for some time after its release, but the lingering sentiment wasn't always enthusiastic, and Warner Bros. and audiences alike were looking forward to the upcoming release of Barbie, which would finally eclipse The Flash's critical and commercial failure. However, both hardcore fans and those who don't pay attention to critical reception have probably seen the movie more than once. And whether it's your first or tenth time seeing The Flash, you may not have noticed these 12 movie mistakes.
12 of the Flash's Biggest (And Least Obvious) Movie Mistakes
1. So was it a red car or a black car, Batman?
2. Self-locking case
3. Where did the tire tracks disappear to?
4. The bookshelf that disappeared in the next shot
5. Missing rag
6. Spatial disability

It's been nearly a year since we last saw the Man of Steel on our screens, but The CW has confirmed today that Superman & Lois returns for its fourth and final season this fall.
The show will be part of the network's 2024 - 2025 schedule and is one of only a handful of scripted series set to air over that period (a result of Nexstar acquiring The CW and moving away from pricey dramas).
While we don't have a specific premiere date, we can confirm Superman & Lois is moving from Tuesday nights to Thursday nights. That's quite a departure seeing as its first three seasons aired on a Tuesday, but the reason for the change is The CW's acquisition of WWE Nxt.
That takes a two-hour timeslot on Tuesdays, leaving no room for the iconic DC Comics character.

We've known for some time that Brad Pitt was eyed to play Cable in Deadpool 2. Concept art has shown the actor transformed into the time-travelling son of Cyclops and Jean Grey, but the role ultimately went to Avengers: Endgame star Josh Brolin.
While Pitt's busy schedule was to blame for that, he still found the time to make a fun blink-and-you'd-miss-it cameo as X-Force member, The Vanisher.
Talking to Josh Horowitz about his new movie The Fall Guy, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch reflected on trying to cast Pitt as Nathan Summers and explained how that ultimately led to him dying by electrocution on screen (when the invisible mutant parachuted into power lines).
"Ryan [Reynolds] and I went to pitch Brad," Leitch says in the video below. "We had concept art, and it's sort of how the Vanisher cameo came to life. Because I think he entertained it...

For horror fans, Late Night With the Devil marked one of the year’s most anticipated releases. Embracing an analog film filter, the found-footage flick starring David Dastmalchian reaped praise for its top-notch production design by leaning into a ’70s-era grindhouse aesthetic reminiscent of Dawn of the Dead or Death Race 2000. Following a late-night talk show host airing a Halloween special in 1977, it had all the makings of a cult hit.
But the movie may be remembered more for the controversy surrounding its use of cutaway graphics created by generative artificial intelligence tools. One image of a dancing skeleton in particular incensed some theatergoers. Leading up to its theatrical debut in March, it faced the prospect of a boycott, though that never materialized.

World War movies are sometimes a hit and miss, but this one completely knocked it out of the park. Oppenheimer was praised for its story, as well as execution, and has been a fan favorite for a while. And it looks like we will have another World War II drama in our hands soon.

Director James Vanderbilt is bringing the story of the Nuremberg trials to life, with a brilliant cast attached to the project. The movie is based on yet another book, this one being The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, Nuremberg by Jack El-Hai.

In the on-demand era, watching a movie, even a short one, can take hours. In the theater or on TV, the movie cannot be paused, so the most dedicated viewers used to have to go back to the theater to see the same movie over and over again or record the TV broadcast. Now it is enough to buy a movie or watch it online on streaming services.
Therefore, fans who prefer to analyze in depth what is happening on the screen, as well as to understand the most subtle Easter eggs and homages, feel more than satisfied in today's reality! With that in mind, let's talk about the most paused scenes in the movies you all know and love.

Zack Snyder is one of the most prolific filmmakers of today’s age. Having created epics like 300, Army of the Dead, Justice League, and more, the director is known best for creating action-packed, grim tales of adventure that are often characterized by intricate details. Whether it is his independent features or the Snyderverse, Snyder’s movies are a true treat to audiences who love bold and gritty themes.

The buzz has been building since last summer, when we learned Amy Adams will take the lead in the upcoming horror comedy, Nightbitch, a comedy horror production that is already sharpening its claws for our imaginations. This six-time Oscar nominee actress, 49, takes on the role of a woman who begins to transform into a dog (or believes she is the one… it remains to be seen).

The first official poster for upcoming horror comedy, Nightbitch, has been released to mark Mother's Day. The surreal-sounding horror comedy stars Amy Adams (Man of Steel) as a woman who starts to believe she's undergoing a hair-raising transformation.
The six-time Academy Award nominee will play a woman who begins to transform into a dog (or thinks she does... it's not really clear). Searchlight Pictures acquired the project, which is described as a "darkly comic horror" adaptation of Rachel Yoder’s acclaimed debut novel of the same name.
Can You Ever Forgive Me? director Marielle Heller will take the helm.
“She’s incredible, I mean, we all know Amy Adams is incredible," Heller said of Adams' performance in a recent interview with IndieWire. "She’s been nominated for a million Academy Awards. She’s amazing, but she really is special in this movie and I’m just so excited for the world to see her.

Up, Up, and Away! Truth, Justice, and The American Way. These immediately cause comic fans to conjure up one specific character, The Big Blue Boy Scout. Superman. Heralded as the one that started the superhero boom in comics way back in 1938, there have been a lot of live-action versions over the years. Last year’s Flash movie highlighted some of the more popular ones and even one that had never actually been put on film. With James Gunn taking over the Dcu and using a new Superman film as the starting line, what can we expect from the upcoming film?

Its brilliance is further accentuated by the subtle Easter eggs scattered throughout, adding depth and richness to the narrative. These clever nods not only enhance the viewing experience but also serve as compelling evidence for why Warner Bros. should have afforded Snyder another chance to showcase his expansive storytelling on the big screen.

Romance tropes always play a crucial role in superhero films, as it enriches the plot and adds another layer of complexity to the characters’ personalities. While romance enables its viewers to relate to the film, the superhero genre always struggles to incorporate the ideas in their movies. Such was the case in the original Zack Snyder’s Justice League, until Avengers: Endgame directors approved of the unprecedented idea.

In the DC universe, the rivalry of Batman and Superman stands tall as one of the most iconic and enduring dynamics. The rivalry originates from the clash of ideologies and their take on justice. However, the Rebel Moon filmmaker decided to take their iconic rivalry to another level as he decided to put the Caped Crusader and The Daily Planet’s reporter in a relationship after Superman’s demise in the original plot of Justice League.

Chicago – One of Chicago’s icon theater actors … Michael Shannon … is performing again in town, in the company that he co-founded. Red Orchid Theatre presents Michael Shannon and Travis A. Knight in the World Premiere of “Turret” by Levi Holloway, now at the Chopin Theatre through June 9, 2024. For tickets and info, click Turret.
Two men (Shannon and Knight) survive in a facility deep underground somewhere in the wild woods of the Pacific Northwest, hiding away from something terrible from the outside. Ensnared in a relentless loop of endless tomorrows, they discover the wolf isn’t at the door, it’s already inside, waiting in the creeping darkness all around them. “Turret” is an excavation of masculinity, love, loss and isolation, and a claustrophobic carnival of carnage, carrier pigeons, cribbage, whiskey, music, mischief and mayhem.

In the image that James Gunn released, depicting David Corneswet’s Superman, a slew of easter eggs have already ensnared audiences into giving the picture a closer look. Despite all the conversations around the suit, fans are now increasingly more interested in what the big purple blob behind Superman is. Speculations have run wild, and there are multiple candidates that have come to the forefront of the conversation when it comes to figuring out who it might be.

The purple blob can be multiple things, given how storied Superman’s history is in dealing with the absurd. It must also be taken into account that James Gunn is a comics fan himself and loves obscure characters, which could mean the purple blob could be some Golden Age monstrosity from Supeman’s Action Comics days.

Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel starring Henry Cavill as Superman gave insight into the origin story of the titular DC hero. Despite the Kryptonian villain General Zod and the gravity of the narrative, the movie failed to have an astonishing mark among critics as the ambitious Snyderverse movie was able to claim only a 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of the reasons behind the criticism was, of course, the inherent dark tone of the narrative but this also raises a series of questions for other DC projects including Batman. If the movie was targeted for the dark tone, Russell Crowe who played Superman’s biological father, Jor-el, believes that the criticism of the movie based on the darker tone does not fit anywhere.

The recent third season of The Witcher was Henry Cavill's last, as the Man of Steel actor announced his decision to part ways with Netflix's adaptation of the best-selling fantasy novels back in 2022.
Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games) will take over as Geralt of Rivia from season 4 on, and a new photo from the season 4 set gives us a first look at the updated costume the actor will don for the role.
Though the image did fool us at first, this is not actually Hemsworth himself (although he does look quite a bit like him), but his stunt-double Joel Adrian.
During a recent interview with Collider, co-star Freya Allan said she's looking forward to seeing what Hemsworth brings to the role, but is also concerned about the level of fan backlash he's sure to receive.

On Monday, DC Studios co-ceo and Superman's director James Gunn shared a first look at David Corenswet's Man of Steel. The image didn't feature the hero striking an iconic pose; instead, he was putting his boots on one at a time, just like the rest of us.
The meaning behind the photo was obvious, but the delivery was flawed. Fans immediately zeroed in on the suit's flaws, including the fact that the Kryptonian sitting down meant it appeared baggy or ill-fitting in places.
Then, there was the glowing orb in the background which, for some reason, Superman was seemingly ignoring. It seems the idea was to tease the movie's villains (likely Mongul), but again, the presentation let it down.
Shortly after the reveal dropped, we asked for your opinions on the costume and thousands of you voted. Now, we have the results!

Production continues on DC Studios' Superman, and just days after sharing that widely discussed first look at David Corenswet's Man of Steel, director James Gunn has now shared a new behind-the-scenes photo.
This one highlights comic book luminaries invited to set by the filmmaker and executive, including current Superman writers Jason Aaron and Joshua Williamson, along with legends like Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway.
Justice League International's Kevin Maguire was also on hand, as was Mister Terrific's co-creator John Ostrander and DC Comics heavyweights Jim Lee and Scott Snyder. You'll also spot All-Star Superman artist Frank Quitely (that comic has seemingly been a key source of inspiration for the DC Studios co-ceo).
"Great day with some comic book titans visiting the [Superman] set," Gunn said on Instagram. "So many of my heroes all at once it was really overwhelming."

Recently, we’ve gotten a first look at Corenswet’s Superman suit. In the photo, Superman can be seen putting on his bright red boots, with imagery in the background being a nod to an alien attack in the sky.
The costume was met with mixed reviews with several notable complaints, some of them making sense, and some not as much.
While the discord and debate surrounding the suit was mostly among fans, now the professionals have chimed in. Clay Staub a writer, director, and unit director who collaborated with Zack Snyder on his “Man of Steel’ and several notable projects both within the Dceu and outside of it, recently trashed Superman’s costume reveal, claiming that the selected pose really did not do much to flatter the material and the suit itself.

Recently, we got our first glimpse of Corenswet’s Superman suit. The photo shows Superman donning his vibrant red boots, with background imagery hinting at an alien attack in the sky.
The costume received mixed reviews, with several notable criticisms, some more valid than others.

Clay Staub, a writer, director, and unit director who collaborated with Zack Snyder on “Man of Steel” and other significant projects, both within and outside the Dceu, recently criticized Superman’s costume reveal.

In the first week of May 2024, the first images of James Gunn's Superman were posted, with David Corenswet now inhabiting the role of the Man of Steel.
Looking at Corenswet, it's easy to see that this Superman is a throwback to Christopher Reeve's groovy interpretation of the Superman of 1978.
Not just a superhuman being but a likable dork with a heart of gold, the Superman that baby boomers fell in love with.
It's the opposite of what Zack Snyder envisioned with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice -- an aging Superman feeling alienated from humankind and looking downright surly.
(The face of Henry Cavill's Superman, that imperious, disenchanted, loveless face, was a work of art. He would do a fantastic job as a villain for a change.)
Despite perfect casting, Snyder went full Emo Superman with his Dcu, adding a splash of moodiness...

Celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Superman in the DC Extended Universe, Henry Cavill has long been the subject of discussions regarding a potential crossover in the MCU. And one of the Marvel characters fans have envisioned him embodying is Wolverine. With Hugh Jackman likely to take a break from the character after Deadpool & Wolverine, several actors have emerged as potential contenders to play the X-Men.

Cavill has been one of the top contenders among all with multiple fan art depicting why the actor could be a perfect choice for the role. However, The Witcher star’s previous statement about potentially joining the MCU suggests that he is less likely to join the MCU as the adamantium-clawed mutant.

It has been almost a year since David Corenswet was announced to be playing Superman after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over. With the reboot happening, Superman will kickstart the Dcu, with Gunn writing as well as directing the movie. While some fans were not happy with the removal of Henry Cavill from the role, others are trying to go with the flow. Gunn has also been sharing bits and pieces about the movie and the cast since taking over.

When it comes to transforming into an iconic superhero, for example, Superman, most of us would expect a grueling regime filled with rigorous workouts. Did we forget to mention those strict diets? Of course, that’s also a requirement, after all, donning the role of the Man of Steel is not a small feat.
But for David Corenswet, who is set to play Clark Kent in an upcoming project, the journey to becoming Superman was anything but conventional. James Gunn’s Superman is scheduled for release in 2025, and just lately, DC fans have gotten the first glimpse of the character’s iconic costume.

After Henry Cavill, David Corenswet is all ready to take over Superman’s mantle and the expectations are obviously quite high. While James Gunn’s fans have completely put their faith in the DC Studios’ co-ceo and filmmaker, there are some who are doubtful of his every move. Recently, James Gunn surprised the Netizens by revealing the first full look of David Corenswet’s Superman.

Naturally, the Internet was divided and had varying opinions on the suit. Keeping the opinions aside, we cannot help but notice a similarity between the new Superman’s first look and All-Star Superman’s iconic image that has a great story behind it. Of course, it helps the case that James Gunn’s Superman is kind of inspired by All-Star Superman.

Amidst all the drama surrounding Kevin Costner and Yellowstone, one name that’s often thrown around is Costner’s passion project, Horizon. Fans are not happy about this two-part Western Saga, especially after how the Yellowstone finale is currently playing out, but it’s too soon to judge this project harshly. Costner has proven himself capable of handling a Western project as a director and actor with his 1990 Oscar-winning film Dances With Wolves.

Interestingly, the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves actor was so confident in his project that he was unwilling to change a thing about it despite three directors rejecting it. It paid off heavily as the film became the fourth highest-grossing film of 1990 along with its seven Oscar wins.

Zack Snyder launched the Dceu back in 2013 with the Henry Cavill starrer Man of Steel. While the film was a reboot of the Superman franchise, it also acted as the first film in a planned shared universe which would ultimately lead to the Justice League, much like DC’s competitors Marvel. Snyder even had a planned five-part story for the film franchise.
However, Snyder got to truly realize his vision due to the studio’s mismanagement issues and his own personal problems. The filmmaker was reportedly also planning a Man of Steel 2, which would have seen Superman fight Brainiac. While the film never materialized, the first image from James Gunn’s Superman might indicate the presence of the popular villain.

There are still many who have not been able to get over the fact that Henry Cavill will no longer be returning to the Dcu as Superman, despite his promising cameo in Black Adam. This is mostly because people truly enjoyed seeing the actor get in character, put on his cape, and come to the aid of those in need, just like a perfect superhero. Many would even agree that Henry Cavill is the embodiment of Superman.
Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel (2013)
Zack Snyder is also of the same opinion as before the release of Man of Steel, he explained how his lead actor was “Superman-ish” in the best way possible. According to the director, Henry Cavill is kind of like Superman in the sense that he’s kind, humble, and naïve, all while asserting just the right amount of dominance needed to let people know to not walk all over you.

That's typically the case with any suit reveal, but the image makes some noteworthy missteps in its presentation that have left some fans concerned with the creative direction of the Dcu.
In this feature, we take a look at those and what the image itself reveals about Superman. From a possible villain tease to the suit's finer, possibly McU-inspired finer details, we're breaking it down for you in as much detail as possible.

Zack Snyder laid the foundation for the now-defunct DC Extended Universe with his 2013 film starring Henry Cavill. Departing from traditional portrayals, Snyder offered a darker interpretation of the iconic character, who is generally seen as a beacon of hope. Despite this departure, Cavill’s portrayal has continued to resonate with fans, earning him praise for capturing the essence of Superman.

X-Men '97 has been praised for its compelling, comic-accurate take on the iconic team and the timely, hard-hitting storylines which make this character great. Beau DeMayo served as Head Writer on the Disney+ series, only to be suddenly fired just days before the premiere.
We still don't know what led to that and DeMayo hasn't elaborated on why he parted ways with Marvel Studios. He has, however, been sharing something of a running commentary on episodes via X, keeping fans enthralled by sharing deep-cut Easter Eggs and behind-the-scenes secrets.
Last week's episode, titled "Tolerance Is Extinction - Part 1," revealed Bastion's origin story, and one scene, in particular, struck a chord with DC fans.
They were quick to point out the similarities between the moment Bastion discovered his connection to machines and Clark Kent's discovery of his Kryptonian superpowers, with a side-by-side comparison - first shared on Toonado.com - revealing...

When it comes to iconic superhero costumes, fans can be very passionate about any changes or updates that are made to their favorite characters’ looks. Recently, James Gunn’s Superman (formerly known as Superman Legacy) officially debuted its official David Corenswet Superman suit early on Monday afternoon.
Taking on Threads, Gunn shared the first look of Superman, who can be seen pulling on his boots while sitting in a chair. It is a rather strange look, though. Moreover, it has been noted that the suit appears a little baggy on Corenswet (especially on shoulders) and does not exactly appear to be the ‘muscle clinging’ type from this perspective. But one thing is sure: We have not seen this kind of linework on other suits before.

The wait is finally over! Superhero fans just received their first look at the newest version of the titular character in James Gunn's "Superman" and, well, let's just put it this way: The reaction was as inevitable as the ol' Boy Scout saving cats from trees, turning green at the sight of kryptonite, and suddenly becoming incognito after slipping on a pair of glasses. Believe it or not, fans wasted no time at all taking to social media to voice their strong opinions on actor David Corenswet's new look as Clark Kent/Superman. Deciding which faction is right is probably as much a fool's errand as bad guys putting Lois Lane in danger while Metropolis' Man of Steel is on the lookout.
