Paradise Lost   was one of the more interesting projects announced for the DCU by James Gunn during his initial DC Studios’ presentation back in January of 2023. It serves as a prequel to the DCU’s Wonder Woman, which raised many questions like whether Gal Gadot would reprise her role or when we’ll actually see Wonder Woman in the DCU. Since its announcement, there have been no updates on the series. We’ve learned from our source that Kira Snyder and Janet Lin are in talks to join the project. Snyder is best known for being a writer and producer on Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale  and the CW’s The 100 . Lin’s writing credits include Netflix’s Bridgerton  and Cursed  and Fox’s Bones. Much is being kept under wraps regarding the series. During the project’s announcement, Gunn described the project as being similar to Game of Thrones  and compared Themyscira to Westeros. In addition, the series is set to focus on the inhabitants of the island prior to the birth of Wonder Woman.  The title of the series shares similarities to Phil Jimenez and George Perez’s story arc on Wonder Woman, “Paradise Island Lost” which could point to some inspiration for the plot of the series. The story focused on a civil war on Themyscira between the Themysciran Amazons and the Bana-Mighdall Amazons. The setting of the series is similar to Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons, a series that Gunn praised on X in August of 2023. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons tells the origin of the Amazons and features Wonder Woman’s mother, Hppolyta as a protagonist which could hint at her being a prominent character in Paradise Lost . Paradise Lost  is currently being developed by DC Studios for Max as part of "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters" of the DC Universe. This story is developing.

Avengers 5 has been through it all. The project has lost a director, lost a writer, and lost its original title before production has even begun. Things are beginning to align, as we have heard that the project is finally aiming to shoot soon. Several months ago, it was previously reported that project was aiming to shoot around January 2025, but as production approaches, dates have become more clear. Marvel star, Benedict Cumberbatch has also confirmed that filming is set to commence next year. The highly anticipated follow up to Avengers: Endgame , is looking to begin production in late-March 2025, which will run through the end of Summer 2025. Assuming production runs smoothly, the film could keep its current release date of May 1, 2026. It is currently unknown if its planned sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars  will shoot concurrently with Avengers 5. In addition, we have also learned that due to the size of the cast and the film itself , several actors will be filming their scenes in chunks. Actors may have to film all their scenes at once in the span of weeks without the whole cast or even everyone in the scene being present during the shoot. The project, originally known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty , was set to feature its namesake, Kang the Conqueror as its primary antagonist. Kang and his variants have been recurring characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, being featured in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania  and both seasons of Loki . Following an arrest and later two misdemeanors, the sole performer behind Kang and his variants, Jonathan Majors was dropped from the project and the role. This led to the project being referred to as Avengers 5  from that point on. At the moment, it's currently unknown whether or not Kang will remain as the film’s antagonist with a different actor or be replaced with a different antagonist. Regardless, the change in the film’s title hints at a reduced role for the character in both the film and the MCU. In addition to the title change and troubles with talent, the film has lost its director and writer. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ’ director, Destin Daniel Cretton was originally set to direct the film after it was announced shortly after San Diego Comic Con 2022. Cretton exited the project in November of 2023. A few months after Comic Con, Jeff Loveness was announced to be writing the film, but was replaced by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnes s’ Michael Waldron in November 2023, as well. In December 2023, @rDCUleaks on X, reported that between Loveness leaving the project and Waldron’s hiring, Andrew Lanham was set to write the film.  Waldron is currently set to write both Avengers 5  and its sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars which will be released May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027, respectively.

A series adaptation of Rick Riordan’s The Kane Chronicles trilogy is in development at Disney+, which is home to its sister series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians . The series is being described as being set in the world of Percy Jackson. Similar to Percy Jackson and the Olympians , Riordan will come onboard as a writer and executive producer for the series. In 2020, Riordan had announced that Netflix was developing a trilogy of films adapting The Kane Chronicles . Since its announcement, no updates were made until February of this year when Riordan announced the films would not move forward after four years of development hell. In May, during his spring update, he mentioned exploring other options for the franchise but had nothing to announce at the time. Following the success of Percy Jackson and the Olympians , it does not come as a surprise that Disney would want to expand the universe in a similar format. The Kane Chronicles focuses on two siblings, Carter and Sadie Kane, who are teenage magicians, and descendants of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Although it focuses on a different set of mythology, there have been subtle hints and crossovers in the respective book franchises that suggest these mythological worlds coexist. Riordan has written crossover stories where characters from Percy Jackson encounter characters from The Kane Chronicles : "The Son of Sobek,” "The Staff of Serapis," and "The Crown of Ptolemy.” These crossovers demonstrate that the characters and mythologies from both series can interact, which opens the way for more possibilities for future interactions in the live-action shared universe on Disney+.

The next installments of the Avengers franchise continue to remain in flux as Marvel Studios’ Avengers 5 has once again lost a writer. As we have learned from our sources, Michael Waldron has departed from the project, leaving it without a director, writer, and official title now. Since the film’s announcement in July 2022, what was originally known as Avengers: The Kang Dynasty , the project has lost Destin Daniel-Cretton ( Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ) as its director, Jeff Loveness ( Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ) as a writer, Jonathan Majors as the titular antagonist, and now Waldron.  Following Majors’ departure from the project and the title change, it’s currently unknown how much of a presence Kang the Conqueror will have in the film, if any at all. It’s possible that a new writer can bring with them a new plot and primary antagonist to the film. Many fans have speculated that since the subtitle has been dropped from the film’s title, it could possibly set up potential antagonists like Doctor Doom, the Beyonder, or more. As we reported earlier this month, the film is looking to start shooting in late-March of 2025 through August of that year. With eight months left until production commences, it’s likely that Waldron’s replacement will only come aboard to revise and touch up Waldron’s script. On the other hand, this would not be the first time Marvel Studios has hired a writer to rewrite a script under a time constraint. In 2020, Waldron himself was hired to rewrite Scott Derrickson and Jade Halley Bartlett’s script for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  three weeks prior to shooting. Waldron is still attached to Avenegers Secret Wars which is expected to hit theaters in 2027. Avengers 5 is currently slated to release on May 1, 2026 as part of the Marvel Studios’ Phase Six of the Multiverse Saga, the current saga of the long-spanning Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the source material, Sea of Monsters , The Gray Sisters make their debut when Annabeth Chase hails a taxi as she, Percy, and Tyson, escape the authorities. In the scene, Percy has been falsely accused of torching his school after a battle with the Laistrygonian Giants. The Sisters come into play as they are the ones driving the taxi, while sharing a single eye. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 enters production in August 2024 in Vancouver, potentially setting it up for a 2025 release.

Touted as a superhero story of imposter syndrome by James Gunn, the secret Max series is taking shape behind the scenes. It’s been previously reported that an actor is already cast to play Booster Gold (first reported by r/DCULEAKS) and that they’re close to getting a showrunner (reported by DanielRPK). In addition, there was a listing on Production List stating the series will begin filming on July 8, 2024, which was quickly debunked by James Gunn commenting on a fan’s question about the rumor. We’ve now heard from our source the following names are attached to write the Booster Gold series. DC Studios is tapping into Danny McBride, John Carcieri and Jeff Fradley the creative team behind the HBO Max Original series The Righteous Gemstones. Danny McBride This will be McBride’s fourth TV series – Eastbound and Down (2009-2013), Vice Principals (2016- 2017) and The Righteous Gemstones (2018 – 2024) and his first foray into superheroes. McBride is no stranger in venturing outside his comedy roots when he revived the much celebrated Halloween (2018) reboot. Jeff Fradley & John Carcieri Fradley, a longtime collaborator of McBride and Carcieri, has worked with them previously on The Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals. Fradley was also a writer for the 2018 “Halloween” reboot along with McBride. Carcieri is best known as the co-creator of The Last O.G (2018-2021) with Jordan Peele. He has also previously collaborated with McBride on Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, and The Righteous Gemstones. Much is still under wraps for this DC Studios Max series. The only description we have about Booster Gold is by James Gunn when he announced DC Studios’ Chapter One: Gods and Monsters slate: “Next up is a TV series called Booster Gold. Booster Gold is one of comic’s really popular cult heroes. He is a fascinating guy. He’s a loser from the future who uses future technology to come back to present day and become a superhero so that people will love him. It is basically the superhero story of imposter syndrome on an HBO Max series.” This story is still developing…
