Recently, DC Studios were in the headlines for the dramatic changes being made in the DC film world by new heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. Lots of things are being revamped and changed. One of the latest heart-breaking reveals was that Henry Cavill would, after all, not appear in the upcoming DC films as Superman. Gunn was on the receiving end of a lot of backlash from the fans due to these reasons but has persistently maintained that he’s trying to execute his vision. Now, we know what his vision looks like as Gunn and Safran reveal what the future of DC films looks like, and it is exciting, to say the least.

Gods And Monsters

The first chapter in the new DC universe is named Gods and Monsters. It will focus on several different characters and storylines that may ultimately collide at some point in the future. Gunn assured fans of a Multiverse with flexibility. However, since Gunn is establishing a new world, that means Snyder’s vision of DC stories is out. This means we won’t get to see Henry Cavill as Superman again, and Ben Affleck is out as Batman. It was also confirmed that Dwayne Johnson wouldn’t be returning as Black Adam. There is also no word on Aquaman and Wonder Woman actors Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot’s future in the DCU. So what does this mean?

This means we will be seeing a whole new universe with characters we’ve likely never seen before. Gunn wants to expand the storylines in a way that captures characters that are not well-established in filmmaking history for DC. A great new example is Peacemaker. A character no one knew about before Gunn stepped in, and now he has a brilliant show of his own. Here’s what Gunn had to say:

“One of our strategies is to take our diamond characters — which is Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman — and we use them to prop up other characters that people don’t know,”

Planned Films:

Planned films so far include a Batman film which would focus on Bruce Wayne’s family and a Superman movie which is slated for the year 2025. The list also includes a film that centers around Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s home. Finally, also an animated series called Creature Commandos has already entered its production stage. They also mentioned that the other branches of DC that are disconnected from the main universe would remain untouched. This means we will still get to see the future of Matt Reeves’ The Batman films as well as Todd Philip’s “Joker” films. Doubtless, to say, the future of DC is vibrant and bold.

In Conclusion

Gunn and Safran clearly have a lot planned out for the new version of DCU. While many compare the studio to its competitor, Marvel, there are a lot more who recognize that DC has its own style and its own substance. One of those people is James Gunn. This is the reason he is looking to expose the more nuanced side of DC in a way that all the stories work around one major central plot and theme that finally results in an overall blended story. Every fan looks forward to the day the new DC takes over. 

It’s the last day of November, Halloween is long gone, Thanksgiving weekend is here, and we enter December tomorrow. What better way to enter the holidays than to have some fun? Every family has their own Christmas traditions, and it’s part of what makes this time of year so special. While some of them are entirely normal, others can only be considered ‘weird’ and this is what we have for you today – weird celebrity Christmas traditions.

Fast Food Christmas Eve

Christmas is a time to ditch fast food, bake together, cook together, and enjoy extravagant meals, right? Well, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have started a new tradition of enjoying McDonald’s on Christmas Eve. We know two people who probably love the idea; little Luna and Miles.

Mummy Time

One for all the hard-working mothers out there, the Smith family (Will and co) treat the holiday season as ‘Mummy Time’. From December 22nd to January 1st, everybody does as the mothers in the family say. Weird? Maybe not, but we couldn’t not include this as we hope other families will adopt the same christmas tradition.

Waffle House Breakfast

For many, Christmas Day is a time to stay at home; leaving the house (other than to pick up relatives or go to family members’ houses) is considered strange. Therefore, you might be surprised to hear that Carrie Underwood and her family visit Waffle House for breakfast on the big day. After making enough food at this time of year, she says it’s a time to relax (and leave a generous tip!).

Two Turkeys and a Unique 12 Days of Christmas

One celebrity has their family eat two turkeys on Christmas Day and then freestyle to the 12 Days of Christmas, and that celebrity is…Jessica Alba. Just in case you dislike anything other than a traditionally cooked turkey, her father makes one spicy with fresh jalapeños.

Christmas Performances

Talking of singing and performances, Michelle Obama once said that, growing up, family members would perform for their gifts. Not only this, it has now become normal with Barack and the kids. Especially with a large extended family, she said that small gifts and performances would keep everybody smiling.

The Queen’s Speech

For any Brits reading this, it won’t be surprising to hear that the Beckham family sits down and watches the Queen’s speech every single Christmas. For Americans, the thought of the whole nation sitting down to watch the TV at the same time might seem odd. Every year, the Queen delivers a short speech and it has become a tradition to watch it (even if the TV stays off for the remainder of the day!).

Family Weigh-In

Speaking of the Queen, rumor suggests that every member who attends dinner with the Royal Family gets weighed. Why? It’s actually a tradition that dates back to the early 20th century where the weigh-in would ensure that all guests had been fed well enough.

Let us know your unique family Christmas traditions!

With the Olsen twins, Hemsworth brothers, and the Sheen (Estevez) clan, seeing family members in the celebrity world isn’t exactly a new idea. However, we bet you didn’t know that some of these stars had a twin!

Ashton Kutcher (Michael)

How could we start anywhere else when Ashton has done so much for Michael over the years? At the age of 13, Michael was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and required heart surgery. Now, he does motivational speaking for young people with disabilities. In the past, Ashton has gotten emotional in interviews while talking about his brother and it seems the pair share a special bond.

Scarlett Johansson (Hunter)

In 2019, Scarlett Johansson has had another special year with Endgame performing so well all over the globe. Yet, what you may not know is that she has a twin brother, Hunter. Although he has done some acting, his most famous work came in 2008 when working on President Obama’s campaign. He has also worked as a community organizer in Manhattan.

Kiefer Sutherland (Rachel)

Dig into Kiefer Sutherland’s life and there’s plenty of interesting information to uncover. Did you know he was born in London? Did you know he’s the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas? Perhaps these are obvious, but the fact he has a twin is a lesser-known fact. Through not in front of the camera, Rachel is also in the entertainment industry and works as a post-production supervisor.

Rami Malek (Sami)

After depicting Freddie Mercury in one of the standout movies of 2018, Rami Malek has also enjoyed fame as a result of BoJack Horseman, Mr Robot, and even an appearance on one of Kiefer Sutherland’s biggest shows, 24. If you’re looking for identical twins, it doesn’t get much closer than Rami and Sami; the latter lives in Los Angeles and works as a teacher.

Mark Sinclair aka Vin Diesel (Paul Vincent)

Who is Mark Sinclair? None other than Vin Diesel and, yes, he has a twin called Paul. While the former has starred in the brilliant Fast & Furious franchise for many years, his twin brother works as a film editor.

Aaron and Shawn Ashmore

In the past, we’ve seen several people get confused by this one because they think it’s the same actor. Time to smash through the misconception because Shawn has appeared in many of the X-Men films while Aaron is perhaps best known for Smallville.

Giovanni Ribisi (Marissa)

While younger readers will recognize Giovanni from Ted, Saving Private Ryan, and That Thing You Do, older readers will be screaming that he was Phoebe’s brother in Friends. Either way, he has a twin sister, Marissa, who owns Whitley Kros, the fashion line. Did you know about these twins? Even after this, we could have mentioned the Sprouse brothers, the Madden twins, Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, Tiki and Ronde Barber, and Jon and Dan Heder!
