1 week ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

Melissa Benoist may have hung up the red cape back in 2021 after six seasons, but don’t think for a second she’s done caring about the Supergirl legacy. With James Gunn’s Superman flying into theatres on 11 July 2025, fans are buzzing, and that includes previous actors who wore the red cape and other filmmakers.

According to the internet, Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards in The Fantastic Four: First Steps is giving off serious Walt Disney vibes, and we’re not just talking about his pencil-thin moustache. While Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything, fans on social media are drawing a straight line between the MCU’s new Mister Fantastic and the man who built a kingdom with a talking mouse.

Cristin Milioti is having a bit of a moment. Between her killer turn as Sofia Falcone in The Penguin and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Miniseries, the How I Met Your Mother star has finally become a household name. But while fans are catching up with her HBO hits like The Resort, Fargo, and Black Mirror, there’s one series that’s become a ghost in the machine. Literally. Made for Love, Milioti’s deeply unsettling sci-fi satire, no longer exists on HBO Max. It was deleted.
James Gunn’s DCU Has A Sony Spider-Man Problem

1 week ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

James Gunn, who Peter Safran says is the greatest superhero filmmaker of our time, is doing what any new boss at DC Studios would: reboot Superman (which arrives in theatres on July 11, 2025), revive the DC brand, and try not to repeat the mistakes that tanked his competitors, Marvel and Sony. But there’s one thing standing in his way: Batman.
"James Is the Greatest Superhero Filmmaker of Our Generation," Says DC Boss

1 week ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran isn’t just singing James Gunn’s praises; he’s practically giving him a trophy at CineEurope by declaring, “James is, for my money, the greatest superhero filmmaker of our generation.”Those are fighting words, especially when your competition includes Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan, the Russo Brothers, Sam Raimi and Matthew Vaughn. Even Jon Watts deserves a shout for pulling off Spider-Man: No Way Home without it turning into a multiverse mess.

Superhero movies can be exhausting for audiences, studios, and apparently, some of the actors who star in them. But don’t expect any whining from Superman star Rachel Brosnahan. She’s proudly stepping into the red-caped chaos of the DCU as Lois Lane, and she’s not shedding a single tear for those who regret signing up for spandex and green screens. “I don’t know why people say yes only to then turn around and complain about it,” Brosnahan told Amanda Seyfried in Interview Magazine.

When The Mandalorian Season 3’s episode “The Pirate” aired on Disney+ in April 2023, it gave Star Wars fans something cool. Bo-Katan Kryze, played by Katee Sackhoff, finally shared a scene with Greef Karga, the sharp-tongued magistrate played by the late Carl Weathers. What we didn’t know at the time was that behind the scenes, things got a little too real for the cast.

July 11, 2025, isn’t just the release date of Superman. It’s also the official beginning of James Gunn’s DCU and the official end of Zack Snyder’s DCEU. It’s the moment the baton gets passed, or maybe gets ripped from the grip of die-hard Snyder fans kicking and screaming into the new era. See, while Superman fans are excited to see David Corenswet don the cape and Gunn’s lighter tone take flight, not everyone is happy.

1 week ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

Here’s a 2025 surprise no one saw coming: Warner Bros.’ Mortal Kombat II, scheduled to release on 24 October 2025, might actually be something truly special. And by special, we don’t just mean better than expected, but possibly one of the best video game movie adaptations of all time kind of special. If you don’t believe us, just ask director Timo Tjahjanto, the mind behind The Night Comes for Us, who confessed on X that he cried watching the sequel to the 2021 Mortal Kombat movie.
Don't Expect to See the Death and Return of Superman in James Gunn's DCU

1 week ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

Resurrection is practically baked into superhero DNA. In fact, it has always been part of the comic books and comic book movies. Remember how Superman: The Movie (1978) had Christopher Reeve flying around Earth to rewind time and save Lois Lane? Or how Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman killed off the Man of Steel, only to bring him back in Justice League like it was a minor inconvenience. Well, James Gunn promises that he isn’t playing games with your feelings.
