Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction
A dirty white sock once worn by the King of Pop has moonwalked its way back into the spotlight. The rhinestone-covered sock, worn by Michael Jackson during a 1997 show in the city of Nîmes, sold Wednesday for €7,688 — about $8,911 — at an auction house in southern France. The off-white stained sock, originally white and studded with crystal rhinestones, was discovered by a technician backstage after Jackson's HIStory World Tour performance. The sock was then preserved in a frame for 28 years, according to a French auctioneer. Advertisement A rhinestone-covered sock worn by Michael Jackson during a 1997 concert in France just sold for nearly $9,000 at an auction in France. Iviore France 'It really is an exceptional object — even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' auctioneer Aurore Illy told AFP. The sock was worn during Jackson's tour, which hit 35 countries and included 82 shows. Footage from it shows him performing 'Billie Jean' in the sparkling footwear. Advertisement Auctioneers had estimated the item to be between €3,000 and €4,000, but it nearly doubled expectations. Though Jackson's legacy remains controversial due to longstanding child molestation allegations — which he and his estate denied — the market for his memorabilia continues to thrive. The off-white, stained sock was worn during Jackson's HIStory World Tour, which hit 35 countries and included 82 shows. WireImage A Macau casino shelled out $350,000 in 2009 for the glittery glove he wore during his first televised moonwalk in 1983. Advertisement In 2023, a Paris buyer paid over $80,000 for a fedora Jackson wore before that same performance. Months later, a black-and-white leather jacket from his 1984 Pepsi ad sold for $306,000. Jackson died in 2009 at age 50 from a fatal drug overdose.

DCU Chapter One: every upcoming DC comic book movie and TV show, plus known release dates
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. DCU Chapter One is officially up and running. After the release of Creature Commandos season 1 and Superman, James Gunn and Peter Safran's new-look cinematic universe has taken its first steps into the big, wide world. With both projects being well received, the DC Universe (DCU) has gotten off to a good start, too. "But, what's coming next?", I hear you ask. Allow my expert guide to, well, guide you. Below, I've rounded up the biggest and latest news on all of the new movies and HBO Max shows that'll be part of DCU Chapter One, otherwise known as 'Gods and Monsters'. You'll learn more about any confirmed launch dates, cast details, trailer, plot specifics, and much more from this point on. So, hop to it, DC Comics aficionado! DCU Chapter One full line-up In January 2023, Gunn revealed the DCU Chapter One's full line-up. In total, 11 projects – five movies and six TV shows – were announced, but a few more have joined the party in the two-plus years since the initial reveal. You can read more about some of the most recent changes in my article covering six big takeaways about Gunn's latest major update on the DCU. But I digress. Here's a quick rundown of every DCH Chapter One film and TV series that's confirmed to be in development, alongside any official release dates that have been announced: Peacemaker season 2 (TV show, August 21, 2025) Lanterns (TV show, expected early 2026 (date TBC)) Supergirl (movie, June 26, 2026) Clayface (movie, September 11, 2026) The Authority (movie, TBC) The Brave and the Bold (movie, TBC) Booster Gold (TV show, TBC) Creature Commandos season 2 (TV show, TBC) Paradise Lost (TV show, TBC) Sgt Rock (movie, TBC) Superman sequel (movie, TBC) Swamp Thing (movie, TBC) Waller (TV show, TBC) Wonder Woman (movie, TBC) DCU Chapter One: confirmed release dates and launch windows Peacemaker season 2 Release date: August 21, 2025Director: James GunnMain cast: John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Freddie Stroma, Tim Meadows, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodriguez, Michael Rooker, Robert Patrick, and Viola Davis Although it originally existed in the now-defunct DC Extended Universe, season 2 of Peacemaker will sit under the DCU banner. Its plot will explain how the titular anti-hero crosses over into Gunn and Safran's rebooted cinematic franchise, too. Peacemaker season 2 will launch this August and, after its first footage arrived as part of a new on HBO Max in 2025 trailer, the forthcoming season's first official teaser (see above) arrived in May. A new trailer should be released in late July, too, following its possible world premiere at this year's San Diego Comic-Con. As well as the above actors confirmed to appear, one of the best HBO Max shows' second season will also feature the return of other season 1 characters, plus some metahumans who showed up in Superman. For more details, read my guide on what we know so far about Peacemaker season 2. Lanterns Release window: expected early 2026Directors: James Hawes, Stephen Williams, Geeta Vasant Patel, and Alik SakharovConfirmed cast: Aaron Pierre, Kyle Chandler, Nathan Fillion, and Jason Ritter Lanterns, a Green Lantern TV show that was officially greenlit in June 2024, is expected to arrive in early 2026. Lanterns' creative team was revealed last May, with one particular addition being a perfect fit for its crime thriller tendencies. Principal photography began in late February 28 and was marked by the first official image of Pierre's John Stewart and Chandler's Hal Jordan (see above). According to a thread on the DCULeaks sub-Reddit, filming reportedly wrapped in mid-July. Fillion, who appeared in Superman as another Green Lantern named Guy Gardner, will have a big supporting role. Meanwhile, Ritter, whose character identity is unknown, has confirmed he's part of the cast. Little is known about its plot, but here's a brief synopsis, courtesy of HBO: "The series follows new recruit John Stewart and Lantern legend Hal Jordan, two intergalactic cops drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland." Supergirl Release date: June 26, 2026Director: Craig GillespieConfirmed cast: Milly Alcock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, and Jason Momoa Supergirl, which was originally called Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow until James Gunn confirmed its name change in June, will be the first solo big-screen outing for Superman's cousin since the Helen Slater-starring 1984 movie. House of the Dragon alumnus Milly Alcock will star as the titular hero, with that confirmation coming days after Gunn whittled down his Supergirl cast list to two stars in January 2024. Krypto will co-star after appearing in Superman, while 3 Body Problem's Eve Ridley will play Ruthye Marye Knoll. Momoa will play Lobo, a fan-favorite immortal mercenary in DC Comics and Schoenarts is on board as primary villain Krem. The Hollywood Reporter (THR) also suggests David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham have been cast as Kara's Kryptonian parents. For more on the next DCU Chapter One movie to be released, read my guide on everything we know so far about Supergirl. Clayface Release date: September 11, 2026Director: James WatkinsConfirmed cast: Tom Rhys Harries Billed as a low-budget horror film – THR claims it'll have a $40 million budget – Clayface has been written by horror auteur Mike Flanagan. It'll be directed by Speak No Evil's James Watkins and an unlikely star in Tom Rhys Harries has been cast in the titular role. Filming is rumored to begin in August (per The Wall Street Journal) on a film centered around one of Batman's many iconic villains. No plot details have been divulged but, speaking to Flanagan says it's been inspired by one of Batman: The Animated Series' best episodes. DCU Chapter One: movies in development The Authority Release date: TBCDirector: TBCExpected cast: Maria Gabriela de Faría DCU Chapter One is still expected to introduce The Authority, a lesser known team of antiheroes who feel right up Gunn's street. However, at a DCU press event in February, Gunn said progress is slow on this one, adding: "(It's) the one that got messed with through all of the other things that were happening. The script had a harder time coming along". It's possible, then, that this movie might not get made. If it is, it'll be based on Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch's comic series (released via DC's Wildstorm imprint) and focus on the eponymous group who are prepared to use any means necessary to save the day. De Faría should feature as Angela Spica/The Engineer following her appearance in Superman, but no-one else has been cast. The Brave and the Bold Release date: TBCDirector: Andy MuschiettiCast: TBC Based on Grant Morrison's popular graphic novel namesake, The Brave and the Bold's movie adaptation – one of TechRadar's most anticipated DCU Chapter One projects – will see Bruce Wayne teaming up with his violent and narcissistic son Damian, a teen raised by assassins who goes on to become Bat-sidekick Robin. The Flash's Andy Muschietti will direct it and, while a writer has been found, Gunn reportedly doesn't want to publicly name them due to the intense media spotlight that'll be shone on them. However, Gunn recently said that he thinks "he has a way in" on the movie's script and that Gunn himself is actively involved in shaping its story (per Total Film). Speaking to Urbana Play, Gunn also said "we'll go into production immediately" once he's happy with the script. Swamp Thing Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC The brainchild of Wolverine creator Len Wein, Swamp Thing's comic series tells the story of brilliant scientist Alec Holland, who finds his consciousness merged with a bog after an attack on his research facility. This new take on the character is still being written by James Mangold (Logan, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny). However, Safran has said "the ball is really in his [Mangold's] court" about whether he wants to continue working on it. Sgt Rock Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC After making his DCU debut in Creature Commandos episode 3, Sergeant Rock was reportedly getting a standalone movie. Call Me By Your Name's Luca Guadagnino was set to direct it and Challengers' Justin Kuritzkes was said to be penning its screenplay. Colin Farrell wa reportedly in talks to star (via THR), too. 'What we love about Sgt Rock is the opportunity to tell a story about heroism and conflict in compelling and unique way," Safran said the February press event. "Justin really wrote a wonderful screenplay and that's what catapulted that project to the forefront." Since then, confusion has reigned over Sgt Rock's status amid contrasting reports about whether it'll be made. Neither Gunn or Safran have publicly said if it's still in active development so, unless we're told otherwise, we'll assume it is. Superman 2 Release date: TBCDirector: TBCLikely cast: David Corenswet A follow-up to Gunn's Superman movie is already being worked on by the DC Studios co-chief. However, Gunn has regularly hinted that it won't be a direct sequel, including on Threads in late July. Meanwhile, Corenswet has said he knows Gunn is working on another project that he'll appear in, but doesn't know what it is. Considering everything else that Gunn has on his plate, expect it to be a while before we find out anything official. Wonder Woman Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC After Gunn sparked excitement about Wonder Woman's DCU debut in mid-May, the DC Studios co-head confirmed a Diana Prince-led DCU film was in early development one month later. Fans already think that one Star Wars actor is the clear choice to play her, too. Like The Brave and the Bold, it'll swiftly enter production once its screenplay is complete. It's unclear how this flick will impact Paradise Lost, the previously announced DCU TV series that'll be based on Prince's home island of Themyscira (more on this in the below section). Like Superman 2, we await more details from Messrs Gunn and Safran. DCU Chapter One: TV shows in development Creature Commandos season 2 Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC Following this show's season 1 debut in late 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) renewed the DCU's first animated show for a second season. Showrunner Dean Lorey has confirmed work is already underway on its next installment as well (per Collider). While we wait for more on the series' return, remind yourself what happened in last season's final episode via my Creature Commandos season 1 ending explained piece. Then, get the full lowdown on its follow-up by reading my Creature Commandos season 2 hub. Waller Release date: TBCDirector: TBCConfirmed cast: Viola Davis An Amanda Waller standalone series was expected to be Gunn's next project after Peacemaker season 2 (per Threads). However, speaking at February's press event, Gunn said of its development: "We've taken a couple of cracks at it but still haven't been able to land [it]. Waller has been a bumpy road". As of mid-June, Gunn said (via Threads) that it's still in development. Once a breakthrough his achieved, Davis will headline this live-action Peacemaker spin-off on HBO Max, aka one of the world's best streaming services. In a 2024 post on Threads, Gunn confirmed events in Peacemaker season 2 will directly lead into Waller, too. Paradise Lost Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC Paradise Lost will go back to Wonder Woman's idyllic island home for some political in-fighting. "It's going to be a Game of Thrones-ish story about Themyscira, the home of the Amazons and the birthplace of Wonder Woman," Safran teased in January 2023. "This drama is really about the political intrigue behind this society of all women." In February, Gunn revealed work was continuing on this DCU Chapter One production, but a writer still hadn't been found, so this series is still a while away. Considering a Wonder Woman film is also in the works now, it's unclear whether this project will ever see the light of day. Booster Gold Release date: TBCDirector: TBCCast: TBC If your first thought was "...who???", you're not alone. Booster Gold, aka Michael Jon Carter, is arguably the most unlikely superhero on the 'Gods and Monsters' roster but, if you've seen any of Gunn's previous output, you'll understand why this lesser known comic book appealed to his sensibilities. For the uninitiated: it's the story of a guy – read: loser – from the future who comes back in time to the present and uses basic future tech to convince everyone he's a superhero. Or, as Gunn puts it: "It's the superhero story of imposter syndrome". Like many DCU Chapter One projects, there are very few details about it. Speaking at February's press event, Safran admitted a showrunner had been found, but they ultimately walked away from the project. However, it is "moving forward with somebody else", Safran added, so development hasn't officially stalled.

Behind-the-Scenes Video Revealing How SUPERMAN's Most Criticized Flight Shot Was Filmed — GeekTyrant
James Gunn has cleared the air on one of Superman 's most talked-about moments, revealing exactly how the controversial barrel-roll flying shot was pulled off. In a new behind-the-scenes video shared on Instagram, Gunn shows David Corenswet strapped into a practical rig on a soundstage at Trilith Studios. The actor is being physically spun by a crew member to simulate the dynamic mid-air roll, while massive LED screens project a snowy mountain backdrop filmed on location in Svalbard, Norway. 'On the stage at Trilith shooting the barrel roll through the mountains. All the plates were shot previously in Svalbard. 7.26.24,' Gunn wrote in the caption. The footage confirms a mix of old-school practical work and cutting-edge digital environments, shutting down earlier theories that the shot was entirely CG. This moment became a flashpoint back when it debuted in a Superman TV spot earlier this year. Some fans criticized the sequence for looking 'off,' even claiming Corenswet's face had been digitally replaced. Gunn addressed those claims head-on months ago, writing, 'There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People's faces can look different when you put a wide-angle lens up close. The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real, as is David.' Now, the new video offers proof. What looked like pure CGI to many was actually Corenswet on a practical rig with real-world elements integrated into the shot. Gunn's reveal highlights the creative process behind bringing Superman's flight to life in a way that feels tangible. It's a fascinating look at how the film blends practical effects with advanced tech, staying true to the cinematic ambition Gunn promised from the start.
