Cavill began his stint as Superman with a $300,000 upfront paydayHenry Cavill as Superman in "Man of Steel." Warner Bros. PicturesCavill found instant stardom when he was cast as Superman for Zack Snyder's 2013 movie "Man of Steel." The movie would go on to make over $670 million worldwide, and though Cavill might have gotten a little taste of what the movie took in after all the money was counted, at the start, he received $300,000 upfront, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Not bad, as some who have put on superhero tights for the first time have recieved much less. Chris Hemsworth was paid just $150,000 for the first Thor movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio was in talks to star in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," director Zack Snyder said. If DiCaprio had taken the role, it would have broken his "no superhero movies" rule. AdvertisementLeonardo DiCaprio was one of the actors in talks to play Lex Luthor in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," director Zack Snyder said. He followed it up with "Batman v Superman" in 2015, which pits Batman (Ben Affleck) against Superman (Henry Cavill), while Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) pulls the strings from the shadows and experiments with Kryptonian technology. I think DiCaprio, he had a lot of great ideas actually just in the meeting.

Read previewHenry Cavill has moved past his scrapped Superman return and onto new projects, but he can still crack jokes about what could have been. In his introductory remarks before a screening of his new Guy Ritchie movie "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" attended by Business Insider, Cavill made a subtle dig at his Man of Steel drama with DC Studios and WB. While praising his collaboration with Ritchie, Cavill noted that he'd worked with the director before, when he had a lead role in the 2015 spy film "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." I will, after all, not be returning as Superman," Cavill wrote. He also reunited with Ritchie already for the director's upcoming 2025 film "In the Grey," which will also re-team him with his "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" costar Eiza González.

Charley Gilleran ’s rigging-equipment warehouse on the outskirts of Los Angeles is a lot quieter than it used to be. A Hollywood production freeze caused by months of writer and actor strikes has meant the chain hoists, trusses and ramps used in movies like “Oppenheimer” and Zack Snyder ’s coming “Rebel Moon” now sit largely unused. Gilleran and his partner have borrowed against their homes to keep their company afloat and are pursuing work on live events and commercials instead of film and TV.

☆ DC Studios' future begins with Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3'

And, for once, the success of a Marvel film could bode well for the future of its longtime adversary. On the theatrical side, DC Studios has announced five new projects that will roll out starting in 2025 with Gunn's own "Superman: Legacy." "And I think Marvel Studios, sooner rather than later, needs to tell us what's going on with Spider-Man." He sees this as the result of predictable plotlines within the genre that are repeated across both studios' films. Marvel Studios

☆ DC's slate for its new movie and TV universe is bizarre, risky, and a bit confusing — but still promising

DC Studios announced the first wave of movies and TV shows for the new DC universe. There are also aspects of the old DC movie universe — but it still shows promise. The slate, titled "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," is, to put it plainly, bizarre — and even a bit risky. If anything, it's still a bit of the old DC Extended Universe. If Gunn and Safran wanted to keep any aspects of the old DC movie universe, they picked the right ones.

☆ Streaming services are spending bank on big-budget movies. That's not buying Oscar nods.
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-24 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Streaming services came up short at this year's Oscar nominations, announced on Tuesday. This year, it only has 15 — nine of which were for its one best-picture contender, "All Quiet on the Western Front." But the nominations also reflect the shifting streaming priorities for media and tech companies coming out of the pandemic. Only one of those four movies got an Oscar nomination — an adapted screenplay nod for "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone in "Killers of the Flower Moon," an Oscar contender for next year.

☆ DC's new movie boss says he's focused on 'hammering out the new DCU' and 'telling the biggest story ever told' in response to fan requests

James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, said that he is focused on "hammering out the new DCU." He seemed to shoot down the possibility of a director's cut for David Ayer's "Suicide Squad." Gunn and Peter Safran are leading DC's new movie and TV efforts. Gunn, who's leading DC's movie, TV, and animation efforts with producer Peter Safran, said it's important to acknowledge fans but that he's focused on the future. The most recent DC movie, "Black Adam," hinted at the franchise's future with a cameo by Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman, but it hasn't yet proven to be a smash hit.

☆ 'Black Adam' wants to be a Marvel movie, but can't leave the Snyder era behind — and it highlights the mess that DC Studios' new bosses will have to sort out
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

There are a lot of Snyder-esque moments in "Black Adam," particularly when it comes to slo-mo action sequences and an overall somber tone. Johnson's Black Adam is a serious-faced anti-hero who isn't afraid to kill a lot of people. "Black Adam" is the perfect encapsulation of both the last nearly decade of DC movies and what the franchise wants to be in the future. For all of its troubles, the DC movie universe had at least seemed to be course correcting. The director, Jaume Collet-Serra, doesn't so much as put his personal touch on it as borrow familiar touches from past Snyder-directed DC movies.

☆ Henry Cavill confirms his return as Superman

It’s Superman… again! Henry Cavill has confirmed what passionate hero-loving moviegoers have been waiting for – the British actor will return to the role of Clark Kent, also known as Superman, in the DC Comics extended cinematic universe. He started off by saying he wanted to wait until after people had a chance to watch “Black Adam” before speaking about his return. “But now that plenty of you have [seen the movie],” Cavill said, “I wanted to make it official: I’m back as Superman.”He thanked the fans “most of all” for their patience. However, many are clamoring for another standalone film for Cavill’s Superman, which would mark the first since 2013’s “Man of Steel.”“Black Adam” took the No.

Justice League este departe de a fi unul dintre cele mai apreciate filme din universul DC, dar va avea parte de o a doua iterație, pe HBO Max. Destinul filmului Justice League a fost unul foarte controversat. Pentru cea mai mare parte a producție, Zack Snyder a ocupat poziția de regizor, în timp ce soția sa, Deborah Snyder, a fost producător. Frustrat în ceea ce privește rezultatul final, Zack Snyder a stabilit împreună cu Warner Bros. că va relansa Justice League într-o ediție Director′s Cut. Pentru a defini tonul din spatele Zack Snyder′s Justice League, pe coloana sonoră a trailer-ului a fost utilizată piesa Hallelujah.
