SmartLess, the podcast co-hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, just got paid more, with the trio signing a three-year deal with SiriusXM worth a reported $100 million. Now, Tracy, SiriusXM is the biggest satellite radio corporation in the world…
This summer, SmartLess will officially be part of the Sirius team, joining a number of other podcasts, including James Corden’s own and Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, which is currently available on channel 104. This is a monumental deal for the podcasting world, but it’s not much of a surprise considering just how popular SmartLess has become. It’s not every podcast that gets its own behind-the-scenes documentary, as SmartLess did courtesy of Max.
According to SiriusXM president and CCO Scott Greenstein (via The Hollywood Reporter), “At SiriusXM, we are proud to be home to the stars, and with Jason, Sean and Will joining us, that statement has never been more true. Over the past several years, we have doubled down on our commitment to podcasting, and with the addition of SmartLess, we are strengthening our leadership position in podcasting…This groundbreaking new collaboration showcases our power to drive growth for an established podcast while bringing unique value back to our subscribers through exclusive content and events.”
SmartLess launched in 2020, with Amazon picking it up for around $80 million the following year. The podcast has nearly 200 episodes to date. What helps make SmartLess stand out isn’t just the celebrity hosts but its unique format. The way the show is set up, only one of the three hosts knows who the guest is, leaving the two others in a guessing game before they are revealed.
This deal will also see SiriusXM offering subscribers early access not only to SmartLess but also Just Jack & Will (co-hosted by Will & Grace stars Hayes and Eric McCormack), Jameela Jamil’s Bad Dates podcast and more.
The SmartLess hosts all have all been involved in some big projects as of late, with Bateman attached to a Netflix limited series, Hayes recently bowing as famed pianist Oscar Levant and Arnett voicing Sweet Tooth in Twisted Metal.

With Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom came the end of the DCEU, otherwise known as the Snyderverse. And while some celebrate its demise, there are also many who mourn the loss of their heroes. But before we turn the page completely, let’s take a look back and rank the entire DC Extended Universe. I’m sure this won’t be controversial at all.
17. Suicide Squad
It doesn’t seem likely that we’ll ever get the fabled Ayer Cut of this film, but the one we received was rough. Filled with enough licensed music that it feels like a music video, Suicide Squad does everything wrong. From characters being introduced multiple times to the worst iteration of the Joker ever put to film, everything about this one is just a mess. If you love plots that don’t make sense and bad CGI, then this one is for you.
16. Wonder Woman 1984
It’s kind of mindblowing just how awful this film ended up being, but I don’t want this to be all criticism, so I’ll mention some positives. Bringing back Steve Trevor allows for more of that wonderful chemistry that exists between Pine and Gadot. And the fact that the Dreamstone provides the origin for all of the villains is neat. But that’s about it for good. Instead, we’ve got Kristin Wiig choosing to be a cat when she’s already proven she can kick some serious butt and Pedro Pascal being more “coked-out businessman” than the charisma machine we’re used to seeing. Not a lot works here, but hey, at least it’s got an 80s aesthetic.
15. Black Adam
Otherwise known as The Rock and his power struggle with Warner Bros, this film checked all the drama boxes. Despite being a villain for Shazam, Dwayne Johnson didn’t want to face off with Zachery Levi’s titular character. So the film we receive is a strange mish-mash of what feels like other, better movies. Still, as much of a failure as the film was on a critical and financial level, there are worse ways to spend…. 2 hours and 5 minutes. Well, maybe that was part of the problem, but the inclusion of the Justice Society gave the film a familiar texture. This seemed like a team-up movie… only we didn’t know any key players. But seeing the usually vanilla Johnson play someone with a dark edge was interesting. He’s straight murdering dudes in this one.
14. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
The final film featuring the Snyderverse is still too soon to see how this one fares amongst the rest of the catalog. More of a team-up movie with Arthur Curry and his brother Orm. The movie is very middle of the road. Continuing to make Black Manta into an absolute joke, there are some odd choices being made in this one. But it’s still great to see the classic Aquaman suit represented. It still blows me away that they somehow made this cool.
13. Justice League
A myriad of controversies have plagued this film, with many of the stars coming out against reshoot director Joss Whedon. But honestly, I would firmly put this film in the so-bad-its-good category. Many of these characters seem to exist in a world almost like a standalone story. The League bickers are like teenagers, and Bruce Wayne is more Tony Stark than the Caped Crusader we’re used to. Combine this with some of the most generic villains imaginable and it’s amazing this was the version they deemed worthy to release.
12. Shazam! Fury of the Gods
The second Shazam outing suffers from a fairly generic plot but still features the same fun as the original. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as it was made out to be, and just had the misfortune of coming out at a terrible time. With that said, it is still pretty generic, so there’s really not much to say about this one. It’s more or less the first movie with a few more bells and whistles.
11. Man of Steel
The film that started it all and gave us a dark and brooding Superman. Some may be shocked at its low placement, but I’ve never seen the positives in this film. But I know how much you folks love it so I made sure to move it up a couple of spots. Henry Cavill has so much potential as Superman, which is why it sucks that we get so little of him suited up. Michael Shannon is giving it his all as General Zod, but a boring extended sequence on Krypton proves the old saying that maybe less is more. The easiest part to criticize is the ending, where Superman and Zod murder thousands upon thousands of innocent civilians, to the point that we get great lines like this in subsequent films: “Thankfully the work day is over and the downtown ward is empty.”
10. Blue Beetle
I never thought we’d see Blue Beetle in film form, but we finally received it in 2023. And it was pretty darn good, with a fantastic message about family. Unfortunately, due to the upheaval at DC and audiences’ growing apathy towards the genre, it never succeeded. The villain is a little weak, but it almost feels like a rite of passage for the hero to go against someone with the same powers. So, like the original Iron Man, I can forgive it. But Blue Beetle excels in how it utilizes the side characters, making them more meaningful to the story than just motivation for the titular superhero. Thankfully, Xolo Mariduena is one of the only DCEU cast members to carry over to the new DCU, so this won’t be the last time that we’ve seen him in the role. Here’s hoping the next go-around has more eyeballs on it.
9. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Snyder’s depiction of Batman is absolutely perfect, with all of the Caped Crusader action being a highlight. And if you thought pitting two titans against each other was enough for an entertaining film, Snyder also packed in the Death of Superman storyline, complete with Doomsday and Wonder Woman. So there’s a lot going on here, and practically works as a team-up film, with its various tones and many characters. The Ultimate Cut makes more sense of a few plot holes and is a more well-rounded story, so I always recommend watching that version.
8. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)
Harley Quinn, being one of the centerpieces of the DCEU was always a bit strange, but Margot Robbie always seems to make it work. And having such a wacky character at the forefront provides for plenty of great moments. Ewan McGregor shows up as an eccentric Black Mask, and we get a female team-up that doesn’t immediately seem pandering. I challenge anyone to watch this and not crave the best breakfast sandwich ever made.
7. Wonder Woman
An origin tale set during World War I doesn’t exactly scream “putting butts in seats,” but this film managed to carve out a nice little niche for itself. While still set during this dour time in Europe, there’s a lot of hope here. Steve Trevor and Diana’s chemistry is absolutely electric, and the filmmakers constantly prove why Wonder Woman is such a badass.
6. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
The landscape of comic book cinema was altered with one phrase: “Release the Snyder Cut!” And suddenly Zack Snyder’s seemingly dead Justice League project was re-cut and finished into a massive 4-hour epic released to HBO Max. With a more coherent story than the Joss Whedon version, it’s great to see these heroes team up and actually be competent at their jobs. This features probably the coolest ending of any of these films, making a case for why The Flash is one of the most powerful characters in all of DC.
5. Shazam!
The DCEU was at its best when it took smaller characters and was able to give them their own spotlight. Shazam is someone who had been rumored for their own movie for years, often being paired with his arch-nemesis, Black Adam. Yet when we finally received a big screen iteration, there was no Black Adam in sight, and instead, the story focused on what it means to be a family. It’s heartfelt while still having a dark edge to it, like the boardroom massacre. While it doesn’t break a ton of new ground, what it does do is handle the familiar in a very competent way.
4. Peacemaker
Technically, this is the only TV Show in the DCEU, leaving quite an impression. With John Cena reviving his Peacemaker character from The Suicide Squad, this is as hilarious as it is crass. Cena is a great leading man, and the credit sequence absolutely can’t be missed. Gunn has always had the ability to make even the smallest character seem big, and this is a great example of that. And while it’s still unclear what the second season will entail, it’s the only survivor outside Blue Beetle going into the next regime. Let’s hope for more Vigilante.
3. The Flash
I’m so happy that this movie seems to be finding a second life, and I think the more time passes, the more it will hold up. Adapting Flashpoint Paradox with its own flare, we also saw the return of Michael Keaton in the Batsuit. That was enough for the price of admission. The visual representation of the many different universes colliding together allows us to see so many classic characters together in a way we’d never seen before. And I’m not going to let a little suspect CGI ruin the fact that I finally got to see Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater share the screen together or Nic Cage finally suiting up as Superman. The only thing I would have changed is putting this at the very end of the Snyderverse, as it would have been a perfect ending.
2. The Suicide Squad
In a bit of irony, given that James Gunn is now one of the co-heads of DC Films, The Suicide Squad had plenty working against it. It was a pandemic release, and the only reason it happened was because Gunn was fired from Marvel (before they backtracked and gave him his old job back). But it was also a semi-reboot/sequel of what is widely considered one of the worst DC films, Suicide Squad. So, adding a “The”, Gunn leaned into the squad’s expendable nature and provided a film where no one was truly safe. Heck, he’s able to make us care for Ratcatcher 2, King Shark, and freaking Polka Dot Man.
1. Aquaman
It’s hard to consider anything else as the crowning achievement of the DCEU. Aquaman was a character that was ruthlessly made fun of for years, and no one thought it could be done successfully. But then Jason Momoa and James Wan came along and absolutely blew peoples’ socks off. Aquaman is an adventure that isn’t weighed down by the universe destroying stakes of some of the team-up films and instead allows the filmmakers to focus on something more personal: identity. Arthur Curry has a clearly defined struggle as a man from both worlds and not truly accepted by either. It’s easy to root for this charismatic superhero as he simply seeks out his family. This resulted in the biggest box office of the entire DCEU and is the gold standard for how to make a creative and fun superhero movie.
And so, as we close out this chapter of DC Cinema, it’s easy to look back on these with some fond memories. While much of its potential was cut short, there are still some absolute gems in this line-up. Here’s hoping the next regime provides a cohesive and unforgettable world. How would you rank the DCEU? How mad are you at my own ranking? Let us know in the comments and we’ll see you in the next one!

Persona 3 was always the best one. Persona 3 Reload, the from-the-ground-up remake of the 2006 supernatural, social sim-driven RPG, just eliminates any doubt. A complete visual overhaul, new mechanics, and new music all reinforce what made the original a stellar, poignant, and radical game for its time. However, Reload
Saw is the series that just won’t stop. Not only did Saw X wind up making over $100 million worldwide, but it also earned the franchise’s best reviews since the original. Indeed, Tobin Bell received raves for his shockingly empathetic portrayal of Jigsaw, and in welcome news to fans of the franchise, Sax XI is already in production for a release this fall! But, how does the entire series rank? You can check out our Saw Movies Ranked list below – then let us know how you would rank the movies by leaving a comment!
SAW 3D (2010)
Envisioned as the “Final Chapter”, the seventh Saw movie was released in 3D so it could throw some of the biggest, most over-the-top traps of the franchise right in the viewer’s face. Saw 3D was directed by Saw VI’s Kevin Greutert, who was forced to replace Saw V director David Hackl just two weeks before filming was to begin. A move like that is just asking for a mess, and that’s exactly what the finished film turned out to be. A mess. Finally bringing Dr. Lawrence Gordon from the first movie back for the “last one” was a good idea, but it could have been handled better. The storyline following a guy who lied about being a Jigsaw survivor as he’s put to the test feels irrelevant. The way-too-long saga of Jigsaw’s follower Mark Hoffman is finally brought to an end, but in the most underwhelming way possible. He deserved worse.
JIGSAW (2017)
You might think the Saw franchise would be refreshed and rejuvenated after a seven year rest, with new writers crafting the story and new directors (Michael and Peter Spierig) at the helm. But Jigsaw feels like just another in the previous line of sequels, and even falls into the same traps that dragged down the series the first time around: timeline tricks, flashbacks, forgettable characters going through a bunch of traps, and a secret apprentice. Questions left unanswered at the end of Saw 3D remain unanswered, as Jigsaw goes off in its own direction with a new Jigsaw follower we had never seen or heard of before. The most memorable thing about this movie is the fact that there’s a trap involving lazers at one point.
SAW V (2008)
Now we know that Mark Hoffman is the apprentice carrying on Jigsaw’s work, and FBI agent Peter Strahm is figuring this out as well. While Hoffman and Strahm play cat and mouse through dimly lit scenes, there’s also a group of five people going through a series of tests / traps. But it’s difficult to care what’s going on with them when the real focus of the movie is Strahm’s pursuit of Hoffman and flashbacks to Hoffman being recruited by Jigsaw. Directed by David Hackl (who was production designer and/or second unit director on previous sequels), Saw V has one of the coolest moments in the franchise – Strahm giving himself a tracheotomy with a pen to survive a water trap – but otherwise feels like it’s just trudging through the motions. It’s a dull, tired entry in the franchise. Which isn’t surprising, since they were pumping these sequels out so quickly.
SAW IV (2007)
Saw II and III director Darren Lynn Bousman stuck around for this sequel, but the story came from a new team of writers who had to figure out how to continue the franchise now that Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda were dead. One choice was obvious: Jigsaw needed a new apprentice. But some other choices were unexpected, like the fact that they still have Saw II’s Eric Matthews hanging around, six months after he appeared to be as good as dead. They also dive deeper into Jigsaw’s back story than ever before, giving him even more reasons for getting into the trap business. Terminal cancer and a car accident / failed suicide attempt weren’t the only things that drove him over the edge, there was also a tragic romance and a lost child. This is when the Saw franchise becomes a convoluted, gory soap opera, which is part of its charm as far as some fans are concerned.
SAW III (2006)
Franchise creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell still receive executive producer credits on every new Saw movie, but their creative involvement with the series really ended with Saw III. And they saved the grossest for last. Even Whannell was reportedly sickened by the sight of the traps in this one, which feels much darker and meaner than its predecessors. And includes a trap that involves rotten pig guts. While the terminally ill Jigsaw and his apprentice Amanda are forcing a surgeon to give him brain surgery, a grieving man is made to go through rooms where he has to decide whether or not to save people connected to his son’s death in a drunk driving incident (the driver, the witness who didn’t testify, the judge who gave a lenient sentence). This is a bleak, ugly movie that tells an interesting story, but it’s really not pleasant to sit through.
SAW VI (2009)
Mark Hoffman is not an interesting villain, and it’s really annoying to watch multiple movies of him slipping out of situations you hope will remove him from the franchise. But while we’re still stuck with Hoffman and we’re still being shown a ridiculous amount of flashbacks designed to answer questions we didn’t even know to ask (three movies later, we’re still getting details about what was going on in Saw III), Saw VI does manage to be a step up from a few previous installments. Director Kevin Greutert, who edited the previous films, made a movie that brings an element of fun back into the proceedings, and the screenwriters had the great idea of putting a health insurance executive from Jigsaw’s past at the center of the games being played in this one. Unfortunately, Saw VI was the least successful Saw up to this point because movie-goers were giving up on the franchise.
SPIRAL: FROM THE BOOK OF SAW (2021)
Saw II, III, and IV director Darren Lynn Bousman returned to direct this entry about a Jigsaw copycat. Sort of the Friday the 13th: A New Beginning of Saw movies. Chris Rock stars as a detective trying to figure out who keeps killing cops with elaborate traps, and his performance is at its best when he’s cracking jokes. When Rock tries to be serious and intense, it’s not quite convincing. Samuel L. Jackson plays his dad, who gets stuck in a trap along the way – and it is fun to see an icon like SLJ strung up in a Jigsaw-style device. Other than the traps and references to Jigsaw, Spiral: From the Book of Saw has little to do with other Saw movies… which was kind of refreshing at this point. There’s no reason to worry about continuity, you can just sit back and take it in as a simple, straightforward revenge movie.
SAW X (2023)
I find several of the Saw sequels tough to sit through. Not because of the violence and gore, but because they get bogged down with excessive flashbacks, timeline tricks, and soap opera-esque dramatic elements. I got so tired of that stuff, I even found the generally unpopular “spin-off” Spiral to be a refreshing entry in the franchise because it didn’t attempt to further (or further convolute) the story of John “Jigsaw” Kramer… So it’s surprising to find that Saw X was able to get me interested in another Jigsaw story – and it was able to do so by jumping back in time, being set in between the first and second movies. Before the franchise got so messy. This time Jigsaw himself is the star and we follow him as he falls prey to a medical scam, then gets revenge on the scammers by playing his usual games with them. Not only was this the most enjoyable Saw sequel in quite a while, it was also the first time I had any interest in John Kramer as a character. In the other movies I always found him to be a pompous, hypocritical ass.
SAW II (2005)
Like any self-respecting sequel, director Darren Lynn Bousman’s Saw II takes the concept introduced in the first movie and goes bigger with it. Instead of two people trapped in a room we get seven people trapped in a house, hit with nerve gas and forced to participate in a series of games that have been set up throughout the rooms so they can retrieve vials of antidote. While they’re playing their games, deeply flawed detective Eric Matthews and a SWAT team have stormed a warehouse and caught Jigsaw himself… and yet Jigsaw, who we learn more about this time around, still manages to be in control of the situation. The traps are gruesome and cringe-inducing (the syringe pit is one of the most memorable moments in the series), but there’s still a sense of fun to the sequel. It doesn’t feel as bleak and mean-spirited as future installments in the franchise would.
SAW (2004)
The Saw franchise has become so big and convoluted, you might forget that it all started with a simple little serial killer thriller. Director James Wan and screenwriter Leigh Whannell came up with an idea they could bring to the screen for very little money: two men trapped in a room with chains on their ankles and hacksaws at hand. Then they built a fascinating story around those two men. The story of the Jigsaw Killer, who forces victims to play dangerous “games” to decide their fate. Most of them don’t survive. There’s also a mother and daughter being held at gunpoint, an obsessed detective chasing the wrong suspect, and a Jigsaw survivor who is grateful for the experience. And a jaw-dropping twist. Even if no sequels had ever been made, we’d still be talking about Saw as a classic thriller along the lines of Seven.

Like many productions last year, Severance season 2 was brought to a halt due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but Ben Stiller took to X this morning to announce that filming has finally resumed.
Severance stars Adam Scott as Mark Scout, who leads a team at Lumon Industries “whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself.”
Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus, and Christopher Walken have all returned for the new season, with a few new additions as well. The new cast members for Severance season 2 include Gwendoline Christie (The Sandman), John Noble (Fringe), Alia Shawkat (Search Party), Bob Balaban (The Chair), Merrit Wever (Godless), Robby Benson (Beauty and the Beast), Stefano Carannante (Mirabilia), and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Tourist).
Severance is created and written by Dan Erickson, with Ben Stiller serving as director and executive producer. In a statement when the series initially kicked off production, Stiller said, “We are thrilled and delighted to be back on set for the exciting second chapter of Severance. Though we don’t know how long we’ve been gone or who we are outside, we are told people enjoy the show and we couldn’t be happier. Praise Kier!” The first season was a big success for Apple TV+, scoring 14 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Writing, and Outstanding Lead Actor.
Our own Alex Maidy reviewed the series when it debuted in 2022, calling it a “disturbingly dark cross between Black Mirror and Office Space.” He also said that “the series is by far one of the most original I have seen in some time and will absolutely give you chills in equal measure with some pretty bleak laughs.” You can check out the rest of Maidy’s review right here.

Let’s face it folks: Kevin Costner’s John Dutton is not coming back for Yellowstone’s final season. There was a glimmer of hope last year, when Puck reported that Costner reached out to Showrunner Taylor Sheridan about maybe being in Yellowstone Season 6, but apparently those talks did not go well. Indeed, Dutton seems all but certain to meet his maker, with Costner busy working on his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga. But how will he exit the Yellowstone Universe?
If you’re a Yellowstone fan, you’ll remember that in the first season, Costner’s John Dutton was diagnosed with colon cancer. Rumor has it, Costner was originally planning for his run on the show to be a short one, but the cancer plot line was quickly done away with. In the Season 2 premiere, Dutton had a major attack that he assumed was his cancer returning, only for a vet to perform emergency surgery on what turned out to be a ruptured ulcer. And so Dutton lived to fight another day.
Now that Dutton is governor of Montana, it’s possible that he could be assasination, potentially at the hands of his estranged son Jamie (Wes Bentley), but that seems out of sorts for that character, who was last seen planning to take him down with an impeachment. Remember, him and his paramour, Dawn Olivieri’s Sarah Atwood, were trying to take him down that way.
Life on the Yellowstone ranch is rough. If Sheridan really wants to stick it to Costner, who always had an entry in his contract that guaranteed “a moral death” for the character, it’s possible he’ll just kill him off randomly. While that might strike some as a middle finger to fans, with Costner refusing to do any shooting at all, Taylor Sheridan might not have much of a choice.
Originally, the plan was to split the fifth season of Yellowstone into two parts, with Part 2 due to air in fall of 2023. That didn’t happen due to the strikes, so now Paramount is dubbing Yelllowstone’s final season number 6. It’s now due this fall. It can’t air any sooner because the show’s shooting in Montana is notoriously weather dependant, and it can’t be shot until winter is over.
Two of the biggest problems facing the final season of Yellowstone stem directly from the strikes, as creator Taylor Sheridan had yet to complete the scripts when the WGA strike was called. If took months for the strikes to end, and in that time the plan shifted, as originally there was supposed to be a Season 5 part 2 with 6 episodes, but this plan was scrapped in favor of a legit sixth and final season.
Here’s where it gets interesting. With the final season set to do away with John Dutton, the focus will likely fall to the romantic duo at the centre of the show, Cole Hauser’s Rip and Kelly Reilly’s Beth. While they aren’t the only star-crossed lovers on the show, with Luke Grimes’s Kaycee and Kelsey Asbille’s Monica also seeing their shares of ups and downs, fans are obsessed with this couple. The show has often revolved around Beth’s deadly rivalry with her estranged (adopted) brother, Jamie (Wes Bentley), and it wouldn’t be a stretch to imagine that if John Dutton dies, the prodigal son is somehow behind it. If so, I expect Beth to go on the warpath and for the show to end with Jamie’s presumably violent death.
While Rip is one half of Yellowstone’s biggest power couple, another behind-the-scenes Yellowstone battle has been brewing – this time between Hauser and creator Taylor Sheridan. Unlike with Costner, this has nothing to do with what’s happening on screen or with money. Rather, Sheridan is accusing Hauser’s new coffee brand, Free Range Coffee, of sporting a logo nearly identical to that of his coffee brand, Bosque Ranch Craft Coffee. Hopefully, this battle doesn’t lead to more behind-the-scenes strife, but these squabbles have a tendency to get out of hand.
This seems to be the current title for the sequel series starring Matthew McConaughey and (potentially) other members of the Yellowstone cast. No word yet on what the series will involve, but you can be sure that John Dutton won’t be tipping his hat – both because of Costner and, come on, Dutton has to die in Yellowstone, right? If he does die, I imagine surviving cast members will make their way over to this show. If Beth and Rip survive the final season, I would expect them to be leads alongside McConaughey, which would make sense and give the show some legit crossover appeal.
The well-received prequel 1923, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, is set to air one more season. It will likely premiere before Yellowstone Season 6, as Sheridan is thought to have completed the scripts. Paramount also announced another spin-off called 1944, which would presumably take the Dutton clan through WW2, and could (theoretically) include characters from 1923, including Brandon Sklenar’s Spencer. That said, the role could potentially be recast, as, if he’s supposed to be in his fifties, Sklenar would be a bit on the young side. Sheridan’s also got Lawmen: Bass Reeves on the air. Originally, this seemed to be set in the Yellowstone universe, but so far hasn’t been linked to shows like 1883, despite a similar style.

James Gunn didn’t take long to decide on his new Supergirl as The Wrap reports that House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock is now in talks to take on the role.
It’s expected that Supergirl will make her debut in a future DCU project, and while it’s been assumed that the project will be Superman: Legacy, it could easily be something else. Milly Alcock will then take on the leading role in Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. THR adds that the movie could start shooting as early as this fall, assuming Warner Bros. is able to sign a director soon.
Milly Alcock was first reported to be up for the role earlier this month alongside Emilia Jones (Locke & Key), and Meg Donnelly (The Winchesters). Just last week, it was revealed that the list had been narrowed down to Alcock and Donnelly. Hollywood works fast… sometimes.
Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow will be scripted by Ana Nogueira and based on the Tom King comic series of the same name. The search is still on for a director, but Gunn has teased that this version of Supergirl will be different. “In our series we see the difference between Superman who was sent to Earth and raised by loving parents from the time he was an infant, versus Supergirl who was raised on a rock, a chip off Krypton, and watched everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life, and then came to Earth when she was a young girl,” Gunn said. “She’s much more hardcore, she’s not exactly the Supergirl we’re use to seeing.“
James Gunn is currently prepping Superman: Legacy, which is expected to start shooting in March. The film will star David Corenswet (Pearl) as Clark Kent, with Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel) as Lois Lane. We’ll also see Nathan Fillion (The Rookie) as Guy Gardner, a charismatic and slightly obnoxious member of the Green Lantern Corps; Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi (X-Men: First Class) as Mister Terrific; Anthony Carrigan (Barry) as Metamorpho; María Gabriela de Faría (Deadly Class) as The Engineer, a member of The Authority; Sara Sampaio (At Midnight) as Eve Teschmacher; and Skyler Gisondo (The Righteous Gemstones) as Jimmy Olsen. Nicholas Hoult is also set to appear as Lex Luthor, which Gunn finally confirmed last month. Superman: Legacy is slated to hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
