Since embarking on the DCU ship, James Gunn has been pretty vocal about prioritizing writers above all else, recognizing them as the backbone of productions.

When it comes to space vessels, it’s hard to beat Star Wars‘ Millennium Falcon and Star Trek‘s Starship Enterprise, unless it’s the Winnebago truck, perfect for space explorers, operating on a budget. Although genre-specific parodies are mostly a thing of the past, given the industry’s shift toward big-budget IP-driven releases, the iconic Mel Brooks is finally bringing the franchise that popularized the genre in the first place.

Given Matthew McConaughey’s dedication to the craft, it makes sense why the mental and physical toll from some of his stints has been immense, especially True Detective and Dallas Buyers Club. Having lost 50 pounds for each of these projects, the actor’s commitment to his roles is undeniable.

After a decade of dark and gloomy Superman, followed by the overused trope of Superman-esque characters with an evil twist, we’re finally harkening back to the Superman we love, aka Clark Kent. Beneath all that Kryptonian strength, it’s Clark Kent’s humanity that makes him special, an aspect that hasn’t been fully realized on the big screen since Christopher Reeve’s Superman.
