James Gunn Teases His ‘Superman Saga'
Has Denis Villeneuve come close to finding his James Bond? Michael Bay's return to Transformers may be sooner than we thought. Plus, Vincent D'Onofrio assuages fan concerns about the future of Daredevil: Born Again. To me, my spoilers!During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn confirmed the whereabouts of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn 'will be revealed down the line' in a future DCU project. During the same interview, Gunn also stated he's 'always looking for a place to put [Idris Elba's] Bloodsport and figuring that out. So we'll see what happens.' Meanwhile, speaking to THR at the Peacemaker season 2 red carpet, the ever-chatty Gunn teased what he is now calling the 'Superman Saga,' his next Superman-centric movie project that's not explicitly Superman 2. James Gunn reveals he's already been working on the #Superman saga, and hopes to begin production soon — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) August 13, 2025THR reports Scott Rose-Marsh (Krays: Code of Silence, Wolves of War) is currently in consideration to play the next James Bond, adding the actor 'was brought in sometime in late June to read sides from 1995's GoldenEye, presumably for just-hired director Denis Villeneuve.' THR also reports Angelina Jolie will star in The Initiative, the latest spy-action film from director Doug Liman, described as 'Training Day set in the world of spycraft.' The story will see Jolie play 'a rogue master spy named Bright who works outside the lines (because sometimes you need someone bad to bring down people who are even worse, as the movies have taught us). When a new agent named Charlie joins Bright's team, he soon finds himself in situations where he isn't sure whether his new boss is trying to kill him or simply is willing to do whatever is necessary to protect the free world.' ET Online confirmed America Chavez actress Xochitl Gomez is now 'hard at work' on Avengers: Doomsday in a recent interview. When asked to 'pick three words' to describe her character arc, Gomez answered, 'Bravery. Courage. And let's say, powerful.' According to Deadline, the script for Michael Bay's new Transformers film 'should be ready for new leadership to take a look at shortly.' According to Bloody-Disgusting, Shelby Oaks has been rated 'R' for 'violent content/gore, suicide, and language.' Bloody-Disgusting also reports The Conjuring: Last Rites has also been rated 'R' for 'bloody/violent content and terror.' Finally, in response to a fan on Twitter, Vincent D'Onofrio answered there's a 'very good chance there will be a third season' of Daredevil: Born Again, contrary to Charlie Cox's recent statement where he described the second season as its last. I believe Charlie meant the last season we actually shot meaning the second season. Yet he used the term final season so its a bit Charlie and i have discussed and we both agree there's a very good chance for a third season. — Vincent D'Onofrio (@vincentdonofrio) August 13, 2025 Want more io9 news?

7 takeaways from Taylor Swift's appearance on the 'New Heights' podcast
Taylor Swift appeared on Wednesday's episode of the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by the Kelce brothers. During the nearly two-hour episode, the singer spoke about the Eras Tour, her Easter eggs, and her new album. The episode has racked up over 7 million views at the time of writing. Taylor Swift sent Swifties into a frenzy this week with the news that she'd be a guest on the "New Heights" podcast, which is hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. The nearly two-hour episode premiered on Wednesday evening and has racked up over seven million views at the time of writing. Her debut on the show was full of revelations, from the toll of touring to her Easter egg rules and even an album announcement. Here are seven standout moments from the conversation. 1. Swift said she was in a "state of perpetual physical discomfort" on the Eras Tour. Performing night after night onstage wasn't easy. The singer said that she was "in a state of perpetual physical discomfort" and had to undergo "a lot of physical therapy" while on the road. The Eras Tour consisted of 149 shows held across 21 countries. On average, each concert lasted about three hours and fifteen minutes. "It's really just prioritizing the fans' experience before anything else," Swift said. 2. She designed her Eras Tour shows to feel like "you're scrolling in an algorithm." Swift said she wanted to weave elements of musical theater, Broadway, ballet, and opera-style scenery into her Eras Tour, with the goal of showing fans "things they hadn't necessarily seen before, all in one concert." "But I wanted to do it at the highest intensity. Rapid fire. You are seeing something new every 15 to 30 seconds, and so it feels like you're scrolling in an algorithm," Swift said. The singer added that when she heard about the reports of her fans experiencing "post-concert amnesia," she took it as proof that the design of the show had worked. "I think we did it. Nailed it. That's genuine. I wasn't even shooting for that goal when they're like, 'I saw so many things and I experienced a state of euphoria that I now don't remember what happened to me.' I was like, oh my god," Swift said. 3. She has been saving up to buy her music masters since she was a teenager. Swift bought back her masters earlier this year. On the podcast, the singer said she had been saving for it for a long time. "Since I was a teenager, I've been actively saving up money to buy my music back and to ever own it in the first place because it's usually the label that owns it," Swift said. "I've always wanted this to happen." She added that she sent her mother and her brother to represent her during the meeting with Shamrock Capital, a private equity firm that owned her music masters. Billboard reported that she paid $360 million for them. 4. She explained the rules behind the Easter eggs she hides for fans. If you know, you know. But if you don't, all's good — Swift took the time to explain the rules behind her Easter eggs. "Well, I have some parameters," Swift said. "There are dos and don'ts, right? I'm never going to plant an Easter egg that ties back to my personal life." The singer said that it's "always going to be" related to her music. "Something that you don't know I'm saying for a specific reason that you'll hear later, and you'll go back and be like, oh my God," Swift said. Her favorite Easter egg moment came in the commencement speech she delivered in 2022 when she received an honorary doctorate from NYU. "I put so many lyrical Easter eggs in that speech that when the 'Midnights' album came out after, the fans were like, 'The whole speech was an Easter egg,'" she said, adding that she found it fun because her fans found it fun. She also said she loves numerology, math, and dates. However, they are just a bonus for those who want to find them, and they're not essential to the listening experience. "You don't need to know what that is," she said. "But if you want to look at that, then it's there." 5. She and Travis Kelce learned key lessons from each other on how to handle media scrutiny. Swift said she's developed a thick skin over the course of her career. "I've been in the music industry for 20 years. It's pretty hard to hurt my feelings at this point," she said. On the podcast, both Swift and Travis Kelce noted that they've taken cues from each other in handling the intense public attention on their relationship. "Her being so calm, cool, collected, and so real and understanding about everything that's going on really made me grow up real fast in that aspect of things," Travis Kelce said. In contrast, Swift said that his sense of humour helps her stay unfazed. "If he's seeing things and he thinks it's funny, and it doesn't even affect his day at all, that's really completely bled into the way that I metabolize these things," Swift said. "It's at a point where something can be about me — my name can be in the actual headline — and it can still be none of my business," Swift said. "People might be out here doing too much, doesn't mean I have to do a damn thing." 6. She ignores social media chatter about her personal life. Swift said she rarely pays attention to online commentary about her. In today's social media-driven world, many people tie their identity to online feedback, but she values constructive criticism instead. "Give me constructive criticism all day. I will take it, it'll fuel me, it's helpful," Swift said. However, she has seen many people let a single negative comment ruin their entire day. "And I just want to say to them, you should think of your energy as if it's expensive, as if it's a luxury item. Not everyone can afford it," Swift said. "Not everyone has invested in you in order to be able to have the capital for you to care about this because what you spend your energy on, that's the day." The singer added that she's had her Instagram comments disabled for a decade and doesn't miss it. 7. Swift revealed details about her new album, "The Life of a Showgirl." Swift unveiled her new album cover and tracklist during the podcast, sharing them simultaneously on social media. She said her new album is inspired by her experience while on the Eras Tour, and the tracklist includes 12 songs — one of which is a duet with Sabrina Carpenter. "The Life of a Showgirl" will be released on October 3. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword
