GUNN HAS TO DEBUNK YET ANOTHER CONSPIRACY THEORY04/28/24 @ 2:13 pm EST
Source: Bleeding Cool | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentIn an interview the other day,
Nathan Fillion told the story of how he found out that he was going to be playing Guy Garner / Green Lantern in the upcoming
Superman movie. The problem is that he made a slight error in his story, and it has led to a lot of online controversy. In the interview he said he ran into
James Gunn at the premiere of
Suicide Squad and was told there. Gunn took to social media to correct the statement, saying that it took place at the
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 premiere instead. This made
Zak Snyder fans come out and claim that Fillion’s story proves that Gunn had been lying about
Henry Cavill and that now he was just trying to cover it up with his post. Supposedly the lie came about when Gunn said that he had no interest in taking over the DCU until
Peter Safran came on board to do the “exec stuff” and could leave Gunn to do the creative stuff. Gunn stated he was confused and not sure who is supposed to have lied, he also made it clear that his Superman pitch was always geared for a new Superman from the beginning so it doesn’t really matter at which event Fillion found out, Gunn was never lined up to make a Cavill lead film.

MARVEL TRIES LEGAL ROUTE TO STOP LEAKER05/12/24 @ 2:10 pm EST
Source: Comic Book Resources | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentRecently we’ve been seeing a rise in the number of “insiders” leaking information and photos from upcoming films. And while this has been going on for years, one in particular has hit a nerve with Marvel Studios so much that they have gone to the courts to try and have their true identity revealed. Documents have been found that show that Marvel’s VP of Global Security & Content Protection has subpoenaed Instagram for the identity of who runs the account “CanWeGetSomeToast,” a scooper who is known for posting leaks and spoilers. They are doing this because of a “leaked, pre-release image” from
Captain America: Brave New World. The film is already dealing with leaks due to images from the upcoming McDonald’s toy tie-in hitting the web that showed a few characters that have not been officially confirmed for the film. It’s unclear what Marvel plans to do if they are able to get the information about who runs the account.
