  • HBO is developing V for Vendetta with Pete Jackson writing and DC Studios leadership producing.

  • Expect character driven storytelling with a focus on personal stakes inside a political thriller frame.

  • The series has strong runway at HBO, which has a history of turning comic properties into prestige TV.

  • The 2005 film set a high bar for mood and iconography, so casting for V and Evey will be pivotal.

  • Early cues to watch include period setting, one season retelling versus ongoing world build, and how closely it tracks the graphic novel’s themes.

  • “The mask is iconic, but the power of V for Vendetta is the way it asks who gets to define freedom.”

  • “If this show keeps the human story front and center, the politics will land without feeling like a lecture.”

  • “Casting V and Evey decides the show’s heartbeat before a single set piece is shot.”

Marvel Pursues Legal Action Against Reddit Leakers of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Script

Marvel Pursues Legal Action Against Reddit Leakers of ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ Script

Marvel is pursuing legal action against the individual or group responsible for the Reddit leak of the script of “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”. The leak included dialogue and key plot points from the film, and Marvel has submitted a DMCA subpoena application to Reddit and Google to reveal the leakers. The subreddit, r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers, which leaked key plot details for several MCU films before their theatrical release, shut down after the subpoena was issued. Marvel’s strict policy to keep scripts under wraps has been harder to maintain during the pandemic as more people have access to sensitive information from home. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” has made $449.2 million so far at the worldwide box office, but it is on track for the worst gross of the Ant-Man trilogy, and has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Underperforms at Box Office: Speculations on Reasons Behind Failure and Warner Bros.' Challenges in DC Universe

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Underperforms at Box Office: Speculations on Reasons Behind Failure and Warner Bros.' Challenges in DC Universe

Shazam! Fury of the Gods has disappointed DC fans with its underwhelming performance at the box office. There are now speculations as to why the movie failed, with reports claiming that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson rejected the idea of connecting his Black Adam character to Shazam! in post-credits scenes. Zachary Levi, who stars in the Shazam sequel, supports this theory and agrees that the movie's failure was due to fans of the Zack Snyder DC films hoping for it to fail. Warner Bros. is also facing challenges in maintaining control over the DC Universe during its transition period to a new era under DC Studios chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran, resulting in some directors and actors being let go or left uncertain about their future with the company. Despite this, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman 2 are still set to be released this year, with James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy scheduled for 2025. Warner Bros. must respond to the poor performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but must first address the chaotic situation in the DC Universe. The company must regain control over its properties to ensure the franchise's future success, especially with the uncertain future of directors and actors in the DC Universe. Meanwhile, director Zack Snyder has announced a commemorative event called Snydercon, featuring all three of his DC Universe films, including a first-ever IMAX screening of his version of Justice League. The event aims to showcase Snyder’s work and give fans the chance to relive his films and experience the Snyder Cut in all its unmitigated glory.

James Gunn Directing Superman: Legacy

James Gunn Directing Superman: Legacy

According to Warner Bros.’ official logline, Superman: Legacy “tells the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.” “He’s a big old galoot. He is a farm boy from Kansas who is very idealistic,” Gunn said of Superman at the press conference in January. “His greatest weakness is that he’ll never kill anybody, [and] doesn’t want to hurt a living soul. And I like that sort of innate goodness about Superman as his defining characteristic.” -------------------- *Check Out All Our Podcasts!* Geek Freaks Podcast: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaks Disney Moms Gone Wrong: https://linktr.ee/disneymomsgonewrong Challenge Accepted: https://linktr.ee/challengeacceptedgf Headlines: https://tinyurl.com/2p8bvu6d Level Up!: https://linktr.ee/PushingButtonsPodcast TrekFreaks: https://linktr.ee/TrekFreaks Geek Freaks Interviews: https://linktr.ee/GeekFreaksInterviews Outlast Podcast: https://linktr.ee/OutlastPodcast Round Three: https://linktr.ee/RoundThree From The Pages: https://www.patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast -------------------- *Hang Out With Us!* Discord: https://discord.gg/6Jrvyb2 Twitter: twitter.com/geekfreakspod Facebook: facebook.com/groups/227307812330853/ Instagram: instagram.com/geekfreakspodcast E-mail: thegeekfreakspodcast@gmail.com Twitch: twitch.tv/geekfreakspodcast Site: geekfreakspodcast.com --------------------- *Support Us!* Patreon: https://patreon.com/GeekFreakspodcast Store: redbubble.com/people/GeekFreaks

Canceled Shows, Punisher, and Star Wars Jedi Games

Canceled Shows, Punisher, and Star Wars Jedi Games

Andor – Ending Diego Luna, star of the Disney+ series “Andor,” has said that leading a rebellion against the Galactic Empire can take a toll and that he’s ready to close Cassian Andor’s chapter ahead of the second and final season of the show. Luna said that it was important for his mental health that the show only ran for two seasons, but he still wants to enjoy the experience. Luna first played Andor in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and decided to return to the prequel series because he felt there was more to the story. The final season is yet to receive a release date. The Devil in the White City – Canceled Hulu has canceled the adaptation of Erik Larson’s bestselling novel “The Devil in the White City,” which had Keanu Reeves attached to star. The series was going to tell the story of the visionary architect Daniel H. Burnham and Dr. H. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer, during the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The project, which had been developing since 2010, was initially planned as a feature film before shifting gears and becoming a limited series for Hulu. While plans to shop the project to other outlets exist, it’s unclear whether the adaptation will move forward. Barry – Ending HBO has confirmed that the fourth season of Bill Hader’s dark comedy “Barry” will be its last. The show follows the story of Barry, a hitman who wants to become an actor, but his past life and the violent world he’s trying to leave behind keeps pulling him back in. The final season will consist of eight episodes and is set to premiere in April. Dune: The Sisterhood – Canceled Dune: The Sisterhood, the HBO Max spinoff prequel series to Denis Villeneuve’s 2021 film Dune, is on production hiatus as the show has lost both its director, Johan Renck, and Shirley Henderson, an actor in a prominent role. Villeneuve had originally designed the series as a prequel to his film and announced it in 2019, but departed the project in 2022 to focus on shooting the second half of his Dune movie project. Warner Bros. is reportedly going through a significant wave of cost-cutting and reorganizing, leading to HBO Max canceling or dropping expensive series.
