James Gunn Responds To Backlash Over Suspect DCEU Decisions
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Daniel Knighton / Getty James Gunn has only been running Warner Bros. DCEU for a few seconds but has already managed to infuriate and even alienate some of their hardcore fanbase with the decisions he’s been making as of late.

Naturally, he’s heard all the outrage that’s been pouring out on social media and decided to address all the hate he’s been getting for his decisions (mostly for benching Henry Cavill).

DCEU Head Honcho James Gunn Cancels ‘Wonder Woman 3’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. When Guardians of The Galaxy director/writer James Gunn took over as the studio chief for DC films over at Warner Bros. earlier this year, he promised big changes and boy is he delivering on that promise. According to Variety, James Gunn is already making moves over at Warner Bros. and the first official casualty of his new regime is Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman franchise that started off with a bang in 2017 but ended, for now, with a whimper when Wonder Woman 1984 belly-flopped both critically and commercially in 2020. According to a studio insider, after Jenkins submitted a treatment for a third “Wonder Woman,” she was informed by studio leadership that it did not mesh with Gunn and Safran’s emerging plans for the DC Universe,...
The Critics Are Not Smelling What The Rock’s ‘Black Adam’ Is Cooking Despite Strong Early Reactions
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / Black Adam Dwayne, The Rock Johnson, has been promising for months that the hierarchy of the DCEU is about to change with the arrival of his blockbuster anti-hero film, Black Adam. That sounds good, but the consensus is that the critics are not smelling what The Rock’s Black Adam is cooking. Black Adam is just days away from striking movie theaters with a tremendous lightning bolt, but when the film arrives, it will do so by being critically panned among movie critics across the board. Right now, The Rock’s 15-year passion project is sitting at a disappointing 54% after being reviewed by 79 reviewers. If there is any positive to get out of that, 43 reviews are fresh, while 36 or rotten. We also don’t have an audience score, and if Black Ada...

Warner Bros. Has A 10-Year Plan For Their DCEU Film Franchises
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. Films Needless to say that the DCEU has been all kinds of struggle following the promising release of Man of Steel back in 2013. But with new corporate leaders in charge, they might actually be able to turn things around in the coming…decade.

We Get Our First Look At Xolo Maridueña As ‘The Blue Beetle’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty While Marvel continues to flourish with their cinematic universe and Disney+ series, DC is still struggling to find its footing with their feature film franchises (The Batman was pretty cool, though), but can The Blue Beetle help change that narrative? Recently, we got our first look at the live-action Blue Beetle in costume while filming on set and we have to say, DC will continue to struggle for the foreseeable future. We’re not hating, we’re just sayin.’ The suit looks cool and all, but fans haven’t exactly been screaming for a Blue Beetle film as we’ve been for say a Man of Steel part 2? On the bright side this will be the first LatinX superhero to take to the DCEU as Xolo Maridueña will be starring as the blue superhero, so prop...
