Gadot, Affleck, Cavill, Miller, Levi, Fisher, The Rock OUT

*Momoa will be back but not as Aquaman, rumor is he will play LOBO(which supposedly would be a dream for him, loves the character since a kid).

And before anyone says it, MytimeToShine is a very credible leaker, got a ton of No Way Home leaks 100% correct, Daredevil Disney+ Solo project, Dr Strange Multiverse leaks, Loki show, Snyder stuff. He's not perfect, so still take this as a rumor. But he hits 95% of the time and what he gets wrong is typically on the margins.

So I'd place these rumors as pretty solid as far as rumors go.

The Rock unfollowed WB and Black Adam social media accounts the other day.

ETA: It sucks Zachary Levi is out. I liked Shazam

No one aside from Gunn, Safran and Zaslav know about the plans moving forward. I'd hold off believing some random person on Twitter

That one shocks me a bit if it holds true. Shazam and Levi both feel very Gunn-ish and would be easy to transition in whatever direction they wanted to go.

The rest all make sense to one degree or another.

Like I prefaced, this is not a random person on Twitter. This is a longstanding credible leaker with a long track record to back him up.

For instance, this is just the list of Marvel stuff he's hit on with releases last year, basically leaked the entire No Way Home plot and release media before it happened, the guy is no rando:

****SPOILERS FOR MARVEL AT YOUR OWN RISK****


quote:

Loki

Kid Loki killed Thor (28th June 2021)

The variants go to a place called Alioth when they're pruned (30th June 2021)

So many different versions of Loki yet to be seen and Loki season 1 will not be the last time you'll see them (28th June 2021)

Black Widow

Olga Kurylenko is the one behind Taskmaster's mask (28th June 2021)

Spider-Man: No Way Home

Tobey and Andrew aren't in the first trailer (4th July 2021)

"We tampered with the stability of space-time" (Strange to Tom) (8th July 2021)

"You've never done anything on this magnitude. Strange, don't cast that spell, It's too dangerous" (Wong to Strange) (8th July 2021)

"After Mysterio revealed my identity my entire life got screwed up. I was wondering if maybe you can go back in time and make it so that he never did?" (Tom to Strange) (8th July 2021)

Spider-Man wears the strange cape (8th July 2021)

There's a big action scene between Tom and Dafoe on the Queensboro Bridge where he use the pumpkin bombs to blow off the bridge (14th July 2021)

[Tom's Peter] visits Doctor Strange seeking help [...]

Peter steals the key to the prison and sets the villains all free, then after they are set loose the villains blow up shite in NYC and now Spider-Man has to stop them. (6th May 2021)

Charlie Cox shows up as Matt Murdock (5th July 2021)

"Is this stuff coming out of you?" (Tom to Tobey) (8th July 2021)

"The power of the sun in the palm of my hand" (Molina to Tobey) (8th July 2021)

The villains are the same versions we saw in the movies (10th September 2021)

Norman is using tech (I believe it was Stark tech) to mind control the villains why some of them like Ock and Sandman are acting bad. From the start Norman tries to come up with an evil scheme but Otto and Sandman initially refuse to take part in it so he mind controls them. (26th September 2021) (I could have put it in the fake list below, but she clarified on December 6th, that it was slightly chanhed: As for Goblin controling them with chips it seems that idea was also removed and they went back to him just manipulating them to fight the Spider-Men.)

Green Goblin is the main villain (27th September 2021)

No Mysterio (27th September 2021)

Strange only has a small role in the film. Tom Holland, the two Spideys and the Sinister Six are the main characters (27th September 2021)

Dane Dehaan's Harry Osborn will not appear (28th September 2021)

Aunt May dies (2nd October 2021)

Venom is in a post credits scene (4th October 2021)

Matt Murdock is in the movie as Peters lawyer (4th October 2021)

No Miles Morales (5th October 2021)

No Kingpin (5th October 2021

The multiversal Sinister Six will return to their own universe after NWH (12th October 2021)

Aunt May also tells Peter the "with great power" line in the movie (23rd October 2021)

Movie is two and a half hours (25th October 2021)

Strange’s spell brings Tobey and Garfield to the MCU but they end up somewhere other than New York and Ned is the one who actually finds them and brings them into the action. He puts on the ring and opens a portal. (24th October 2021)

Ned uses the portal to find Holland but the portal tracks and bring the two Peters to them instead. This is their introduction into the movie (25th October 2021)

All 6 villains and both Tobey and Andrew enter the mcu at the same time as a result of the spell going wrong. Just that they all pop up at different locations in the MCU (25th October 2021)

There's a lot of focus on the villains. They get scenes just for themselves and scenes interacting with the other villains with no Holland around. So you can say first hour is half a Holland solo movie and half is about the villains (25th October 2021)

Matt tells Peter that he’s in the clear but Happy might get in some legal trouble. Peter comment that Matt is a good lawyer, somebody throws a brick at them and Matt catches it, then he says “I’m a VERY good lawyer" (27th October 2021)

Tom Holland's Peter will get the black symbiote suit in the MCU after No Way Home. (1st November 2021)

Spidey doesn't get teleported to the Venomverse (6th November 2021)

The John Campea photos are real (9th November 2021)

Tobey and Andrew will first appear and help Tom's Peter as scientists, before suting up. Their total screen time is around 30 minutes. (1st December 2021) - CONFIRMED by MTTSH, ORIGINAL by DanielRPK

Secret Invasion

Carmen Ejogo has a role (19th May 2021)

Hawkeye

Kate Bishop's mother is the villain (29th October 2021)



He hasn't batted a thousand, but pretty damn close(which is why I said to still treat it as a rumor, but from a mostly credible source).

It was fun. I don't need brooding Batman every single movie, sometimes I just enjoy a funny actor doing funny things.

If they ditched Margot Robbie, that would be a massive mistake.

Not necessarily defending the movie(though I thought it was fine, like most Marvel movies as wellm it was mindlessly entertaining but disposable), but felt like the actor/character would work well in the Gunn-verse.

Of course, I'm also of the opinion I'm not really sold on Gunn as this DC Universe savior, especially with Zaslav ultimately pulling the strings at the top. Very much thinking we are about to get a half dozen films trying to imitate the Gunn vibe and humor and it's just gonna wear thin real quick. While also not being be the best fit for certain characters.

Robbie is safe reportedly, though supposedly Gunn HATES Leto(dudes a pedo so frick him), so expect any mention of his Joker to be excised and not-so-subtlely slandered in upcoming films.

Basically seems like he is saving The Suicide Squad(and his wife) and everyone else is gone or being re-cast into new roles(Momoa).

Cena is the only good thing they have going right now. Viola Davis is in everything, I’m tired of seeing her

I said this in another thread, but Gunn does well with lesser known characters where he isn't beholden to source material. I don't have high expectations for a Gunn led DC Universe.

Same here but his Suicide Squad movie was one of the best movies that I have seen from that universe.

Yeah, he makes a certain type of movie(which I like), and Peacemaker is probably my favorite comic book season since Daredevil season 3, but skeptical that the guy that makes those types of films(which often work cause they feel like slight subversions of the larger universes they exist in, like a Marvel or DC class clown having a bit of fun) can scale up and make the core DCEU actually work.

Yeah Davis is basically their Nick Fury but they basically have here playing “cold hearted bitch” 24/7. Need to add some more layers to the character

Something to note according the DCEU Leaks subreddit she’s also a Snyder fan girl and has made up shite to rile up the Snyder fans in the past so nothing is concrete

That would suck. Shazam was barely connected to the Synder crew and it was one character that felt Gunnish. Hope Levi survives the cuts.

I'm fine with this. I would have personally scrapped every one and started completely over but I don't really care if he wants to hold on to the Suicide Squad folks.

By the time they fully develop this plan for a new DCCU and start cranking out movies, the actors will all be another 3,4,5,6 years older than they were the last time they suited up so I agree with the plan to start over from scratch.

I feel like He’s going to try and build around the fricking Suicide Squad when he needs to build around Batman

I'll stay consistent, I am glad everyone is out. It was time for a full reboot.

However, Viola Davis should be out too, but I guess Gunn is playing favorites and making his Suicide Squad part of continuity.
