Warner Bros. Reportedly Eyed Michael Bay To Direct Henry Cavill Superman Sequel
The Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, could have gotten another solo outing on the silver screen, but the onboarding of James Gunn and Peter Safran as DC Studios co-heads put an end to the idea. Per The Wrap, Warner Bros. Pictures chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy were considering a 'standalone Henry Cavill-led Superman film going in 2022,' with Transformers helmer Michael Bay, who has never done a straight-up superhero movie before, in the director's chair. While it's unclear how far the deal went, the project was reportedly meant to be straightforward and without the entanglements that follow tie-ins, crossovers, or multiverse productions. The discussion took place between the departure of the previous head, Walter Hamada, and the induction of Gunn and Safran. In the same year, Cavill would step down as the titular superhero and set his sights on other franchise deals, including a live-action Voltron film adaptation, a Warhammer 40K series for Amazon, and a reboot of the 1986 classic Highlander . As for Bay, the filmmaker is set to debut his first-ever documentary, We Are Storror , at the 2025 SXSW (pronounced 'South by Southwest') festival. Next on his agenda list are Netflix's action title Fast and Loose , which will reunite him with Bad Boys star Will Smith, and a film adaptation of the classic arcade title OutRun starring Sydney Sweeney. But first, all eyes are on Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. This time, David Corenswet ( Twisters , Pearl ) is donning the cape, with Rachel Brosnahan ( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ) and Nicholas Hoult (the X-Men films) playing Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. The superhero flick is one of the six live-action big-screen projects planned for Chapter One of the rebooted cinematic universe, followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in June 2026, Clayface in September 2026, The Authority (TBA), The Brave and the Bold , and Swamp Thing . It hits theatres on 10 July. Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth's theme on her Spotify playlist can get.

'Dungeons & Dragons' Single-Player Game In The Works From 'Star Wars Jedi' Veteran
Giant Skull, a new game studio founded by Star Wars Jedi franchise and God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen, is hard at work on an upcoming single-player Dungeons & Dragons action adventure. The currently untitled project was announced by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, and follows previous reports that Giant Skull was making a new AAA single-player game built in Unreal Engine 5. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023) 'Our talented and experienced team at Giant Skull is built on creativity and curiosity,' Asmussen said in a statement. 'Our goal is to craft a rich new Dungeons & Dragons universe filled with immersive storytelling, heroic combat and exhilarating traversal that players will fully embrace.' Formed in 2024 after Asmussen left Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment a year prior, Giant Skull's leadership team also consists of lead producer Lauren McLemore ( Fortnite, League of Legends ), art director Patrick Murphy ( Valorant, Ratchet & Clank ), CTO Jon Carr ( Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ), design director Jeff Magers ( Star Wars Jedi franchise, Medal of Honor: Airborne ), animation director Brian Campbell ( Fortnite ) and COO/CFO Anthony Scott. Previous reports also indicated that the team consists of Rockstar alumni as well. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019) Giant Skull's latest project is set to add another notch to publisher Wizards of the Coast's belt, joining a separate D&D action adventure game by Invoke Studios, the team behind 2021's Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance , alongside the sci-fi RPG Exodus , which will be helmed by Archetype Entertainment, a team made from former Mass Effect veterans. With Asmussen's impressive track record consisting of highly successful games like the Star Wars Jedi franchise, God of War II and its sequel God of War III , hopes are high that Giant Skull would be able to deliver an immersive story-focused adventure set in the captivating world of Dungeons & Dragons . The project is still in its infancy, although it was confirmed to be a multi-platform title and will launch on PC and consoles 'at a later date'. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying.

Jon M. Chu's 'Split Fiction' Movie Starring Sydney Sweeney Scores Amazon Deal
It appears the bidding war for the film rights to Split Fiction , the adaptation of Hazelight Studios' hit co-op game of the same name, is now over. According to Variety, Amazon MGM Studios has finalised the deal to acquire the project, which is set to team Wicked director Jon M. Chu and actress Sydney Sweeney. Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the duo behind Deadpool & Wolverine , are penning the script. Additionally, Sweeney will serve as executive producer, alongside Story Kitchen's Timothy I. Stevenson, and Hazelight Studios' founder Josef Fares and COO Oskar Wolontis. No other updates on the Split Fiction movie were shared, including potential casting, story details, and by extension, its accuracy to the source material. It's also unclear if Sweeney will play Zoe or Mio, the two playable characters in the game. Written by Fares and Sebastian Johansson, Split Fiction follows the pair of authors who become trapped in the worlds they wrote. It features a genre-blending plot designed to complement its co-op gameplay, focusing on split-screen combat, platforming challenges, and distinct abilities for each character. The title has won praise from critics and players alike, continuing the studio's impressive track record with over one million copies sold in two days. It Takes Two , released by the studio in 2021, is also being adapted into an upcoming film by Amazon and Seven Bucks Productions. The Split Fiction movie is hardly the only video game-related stint on Sweeney's plate, as the Euphoria star will join forces with Transformers helmer Michael Bay to produce a live-action adaptation of Sega's classic 1986 arcade series, OutRun .
