Superman filmmaker James Gunn lies in a casket for an interview with his friend and colleague David Dastmalchian for Season 3 of Dastmalchian's talk show Grave Conversations.
Gunn, of course, is the co-CEO of Warner Bros.' DC Studios with Peter Safran. DC Studios is about to kick off a new era of the DC Universe with Superman, written and directed by Gunn, on Friday, July 11.
Dastmalchian — whose long list of credits includes The Dark Knight, the Ant-Man trilogy, Oppenheimer, Late Night with the Devil and most recently, Murderbot and The Life of Chuck — began hosting Grave Conversations on Instagram and YouTube in April 2024. Dastmalchian also played Polka-Dot Man in Gunn's DC antihero movie The Suicide Squad in 2021.
Grave Conversations was developed by Elan Gale and produced by Dastmalchian's Good Fiend Films. Gale and Dastmalchian partnered with Titan Casket and its founder and CEO Scott Ginsberg to bring the unique talk show to life.
In a press release to announce the show in 2024, Dastmalchian said, 'The opportunity to interview my friends and colleagues presented itself with Grave Conversations, a hilarious, heartfelt, and personal exploration of some of the things that matter most in life. And death.'
Gunn is among the 10 new guests that Dastmalchian is interviewing for Grave Conversations Season 3. Gunn's episode will premiere on Monday, July 7, on YouTube, just days before Superman's release on July 11.
'I'm a huge fan of Grave Conversations,' Gunn said in the trailer for the show's third season, which was released on Wednesday. 'I'm what you call 'a superfan.''

In addition to James Gunn, Grave Conversations will feature David Dastmalchian's interviews with She-Hulk and Star Trek: Prodigy star Jameela Jamil, Superman and The Rookie star Nathan Fillion and comic book creator and toy company owner Todd McFarlane.
'I'm going to be on Grave Conversations. It's important. Standing up interviews and sitting interviews? This is how it's done," McFarlane said of the talk show's unique format in the Season 3 trailer. "There's going to be a new wave. It's cool.'
In addition, Dastmalchian will be interviewing Shadowhunters and Arrow star Katherine McNamara, actor-director Mark Duplass, actor-director Kevin Smith, The Suicide Squad star Flua Borg, Traitors star Chrishell Stause and M3GAN and M3GAN 2.0 star Violet McGraw.

Grave Conversations Season 3 premieres on YouTube on Monday. James Gunn's Superman, starring David Corenswet as the new Clark Kent/Superman, opens in theaters nationwide on July 11.
