‘We feel really good about it': The Batman: Part II gets positive update from James Gunn
DC boss James Gunn has revealed he is expecting to receive a script for The Batman: Part II this month. The upcoming sequel had been delayed and rumours about the film's development troubles began to circulate online, though Gunn, 58, has now stressed The Batman: Part II is still in the works and he is expecting director Matt Reeves, 59, to hand in a screenplay later in June. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said: 'Listen, we're supposed to get a script in June. I hope that happens. 'We feel really good about it. Matt's excited. I talk to Matt all the time. I'm totally excited about it. So we can't wait to read the scripts, but we haven't read it yet, if that's your question.' The DC head added 'people should get off Matt's nut' and stop hassling him for updates about The Batman: Part II. Gunn said: 'People should get off Matt's nuts because it's like, let the guy write the screenplay in the amount of time he needs to write it. That's just the way it is. 'He doesn't owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.' The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker added he was 'irritated' by the constant bombardment of questions about the movie online. He said: 'I am irritated by people. I mean, it's just that thing people don't need to be entitled about. It's going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. 'And Matt's not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay.' The Batman: Part II was initially due to hit cinemas in 2026, though was pushed back a year to October 2027 to give Reeves more time to finish the story. Although no plot details about the film are known, it has been confirmed Robert Pattinson's Dark Knight, Zoe Kravitz's Catwoman, Colin Farrell's The Penguin, Andy Serkis's Alfred Pennyworth and Jeffrey Wright's Gotham police officer James 'Jim' Gordon would all be returning for the sequel. While work on The Batman: Part II continues, it was recently announced the Caped Crusader would be getting his own villain spin-off movie through Clayface. The picture will star White Lines actor Tom Rhys Harries in the titular role, while Speak No Evil filmmaker James Watkins directs from a script written by Doctor Sleep's Mike Flanagan. Gunn explained Clayface - which will hit screens in September 2026 - would be set in the mainline DC Universe (DCU) opposed to the Elseworlds universe, like The Batman, which is separate to the DCU. Gunn said of bringing Clayface into the DCU: 'Well, I think it was just we needed DCU content. Mike Flanagan is somebody who I've been friendly with for a long time, and he wrote me about Clayface. 'He texted me about it really early on in my DC journey. Just being honest, I did not think that was something that was going to happen, but he came in and he pitched the idea and I was like, 'Oh s***! That's cool.' 'It's a body horror movie. It's a horror movie that, like any cool body horror movie, just happens to be in the DCU. 'And then he wrote the script, and the script was fantastic. We did not plan to do Clayface. That was really something he brought to us.'

Lizzie McGuire star thinks Disney Plus reboot suffered with 'bad timing'
Lizzie McGuire star Jake Thomas thinks the cancelled reboot was hurt by "bad timing". The 35-year-old actor was set to return as Matt - the on-screen brother of Hilary Duff's titular character - in a planned Disney revival of the hit sitcom, but the sequel series was scrapped five years ago. He told E! News: "We actually filmed two episodes of the reboot, but unfortunately it fell apart. "Sometimes that just happens. It was bad timing with everything. It was right at the beginning of COVID. "It just kinda fell apart. And I was really excited to see where Matt was gonna be today, and more importantly for audiences to see that." Pondering what Matt and Lizzie's sibling bond would be like today, he insisted it would be "much the same". He explained: "They still loved each other, at the end of the day, they just didn't like to show it. "I think it would be that - but maybe they're kinda helping each other deal with the big adult issues of the day. "You can be sure Matt would defintely take the cheapshots when he can, the low-hanging fruit." Jake also hopes he and the fans won't have to wait too long to see the characters on screen together again. Asked about working with Hilary in the future, he said: "I'll never say never. "We went, what, like 17 years between a movie and a reboot? We'll see! [laughs] "Hopefully not another 17 years!" Hilary previously revealed how creative differences caused the Disney+ revival to be scrapped, but she remained hopeful. During an appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live', when a viewer asked her if she would agree to another reboot of the show she said: "Of course! Disney+ was very new and I think they were figuring out we were figuring out our...I'm optimistic!" When she announced the decision to cancel the reboot, Hilary noted that had been an "honour" to play Lizzie but insisted she would want any revival series to be an "honest" representation of her signature character. At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "I know the efforts and conversations have been everything trying to make a reboot work, but sadly [and] despite everyone's best efforts, it isn't going to happen. "I want any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie would be today. It's what the character deserves. "We can all take a moment to mourn the amazing woman she would have been and the adventures we would have taken with her. "I'm very sad, but I promise everyone tried their best and the stars just didn't align. Hey now, this is what 2020's made of. (sic)"
