With the Todd Phillips-directed Joker movie a smash hit, it is learned that Jared Leto felt upset with Warner Bros. moving ahead with the Joaquin Phoenix version of the movie. Jared Leto played the Joker in the David Ayer Suicide Squad movie, which wasn’t that all well received, though it has been said massive amounts
Recall when I wrote about how Jared Leto is done as the Joker, I said the reason is because of Harley Quinn becoming a feminist hero for the DCEU. Now Ewan McGregor confirms exactly that — that Birds of Prey is a feminist film, much like the Marvel Brie Larson Captain Marvel movie. While speaking
Following my big Comic-Con scoop that J.J. Abrams will be taking on Superman and Green Lantern, now more of the same is being said — again — including Justice League.

It’s been quite a day for the DCEU, with it also learned that Jonah Hill is in talks to play a villain, possibly Penguin or Riddler, for Matt Reeves in The Batman. It’s reported that Jonah Hill is in early talks for a role and that things are at a sensitive stage, not because of
I’ve been told some sort of soft DCEU reboot is taking place involving Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, and Suicide Squad, along with directors Matt Reeves, James Gunn, and J.J. Abrams, and more.
