While we've had the chance to see Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner use the ring in trailers and TV spots, the actual design is usually obscured by the ring's glow.

But we're going to get plenty of chances to see Guy Gardner's ring both at rest and in use. So far, Fillion's Guy Gardner seems to be making at least as many appearances in the DCU as any other character so far, if not more than most. We'll be meeting perhaps the most arrogant Green Lantern ever to wear a ring in this year's "Superman", but that won't be the last time we see him. Along with Isabella Merced as Hawkgirl and Sean Gunn as Maxwell Lord, he'll have a cameo in the second season of "Peacemaker", premiering in August. He still won't be done. After "Peacemaker", Fillion will reprise the role of Guy Gardner in HBO's upcoming series "Lanterns". As long as James Gunn is co-head of DC Studios, it wouldn't be a bad bet that Fillion's Guy Gardner will continue to pop up across the DCU. They first collaborated on the 2006 horror film "Slither", and Fillion has since appeared in almost everything Gunn has directed including 2010's "Super", two of the three "Guardians of the Galaxy" films, and 2021's "The Suicide Squad". Guy Gardner, by the way, isn't the first Green Lantern Fillion has played. He voiced the animated version of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in "Green Lantern: Emerald Knight", "Justice League: Doom," "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox," "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis," "The Death of Superman," and "Reign of the Supermen."

THUNDERBOLTS*: Alternate Concept Art Reveals Wildly Different Looks for Sentry's Dark Side, The Void — GeekTyrant
Marvel fans are getting a new look at what could have been for one of the MCU's most powerful and darkest characters. Concept artist John Staub has shared a batch of alternate designs for Thunderbolts* that give us a peek at early explorations of The Void, Sentry's chaotic, unstable alter ego, and it's clear Marvel was seriously weighing different directions for the character's look. While the final film gave us a black shadow with glowing eyes, some of these concepts feel like intesting swings. 'Some explorations on The Void for the film Thunderbolts aka New Avengers,' Staub said in a social media post. 'We explored different possibilities that gave nods to the comic and tried to find the right look that was in line with the story that was being told.' As much as fans would've loved to see a full-on monstrous version of The Void, something closer to the demonic mass seen in the comics, it seems Marvel wanted a more restrained and symbolic interpretation for this version of the character. Still, Staub's unused artwork shows just how far they considered taking it, with several designs feeling more wild and more visually intense than what ended up on screen. This kind of behind-the-scenes look is always fascinating, especially when it shows Marvel actively toying with how much to lean into the weird, cosmic, and psychological horror aspects of their characters. The Void is one of the darkest forces in the Marvel Universe, and it looks like the visual development team gave that legacy some serious thought before landing on a final direction.

Scarlett Johansson Compares Jurassic World Rebirth to Spielberg's Classic
At the world premiere of Jurassic World: Rebirth, Scarlett Johansson spoke about how the movie pays tribute to Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park legacy. The actress also drew a comparison between the two films. Now, many are curious to know what Johansson said. On Tuesday, Scarlett Johansson walked the green carpet at the world premiere of Jurassic World: Rebirth in London. Joined by co-stars Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend, and Ed Skrein, Johansson celebrated the launch of the latest chapter in the Jurassic franchise at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Director Gareth Edwards, screenwriter David Koepp, who also wrote the original Jurassic Park, and producer Frank Marshall were also in attendance. Dressed in a bold pink gown, Johansson spoke enthusiastically about the film. She called it a tribute to Steven Spielberg's early Jurassic movies. Speaking to reporters, she said, 'So I think it really is a love letter to Steven's work. Fans of the Jurassic universe can expect to really feel the DNA of the original 'Jurassic Park' in this film.' (via Variety) Previously, Johansson has been vocal about her enthusiasm for joining the Jurassic universe. In a previous interview with ComicBook, she shared that the original Jurassic Park was one of the first movies she ever saw in theaters. She said, 'It was life-changing. It was mind-blowing. I cannot express how excited I am. The script is so incredible.' Jurassic World: Rebirth is set five years after the events of Jurassic World: Dominion. With Earth's ecosystem now largely uninhabitable for dinosaurs, the few that remain have retreated to isolated regions. Among them are three dinosaurs whose genetic material could be the key to developing a life-saving drug. Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, an operative recruited by a pharmaceutical company to lead a high-stakes mission. She is joined by paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis, played by Jonathan Bailey, and team leader Duncan Kincaid, portrayed by Mahershala Ali.

Clayface: Mike Flanagan Reveals Inspiration Behind DCU Movie
Mike Flanagan has opened up about the upcoming DC Universe movie that he worked on, revealing the Batman: The Animated Series episode that served as a big inspiration. Speaking to ComicBook in a recent interview, Flanagan revealed that the two-part episode 'Feat of Clay' from the 1990s animated series was what initially drew him to the character. 'Of course it was. I mean that is the perfect [story],' said Flanagan of the episodes. ''Feat of Clay,' Ron Perlman, to me, that's it. That two-parter knocked me out. The short answer is that is absolutely what inspired my script. That is the world I wanted to live in. Batman: The Animated Series when I was growing up was my Batman. As much as [Michael] Keaton was my Batman, The Animated Series really was my Batman.' The two-part episode details the origins of Matt Hagen, a.k.a. Clayface. In the episodes, after Hagen, a successful actor, is injured in a car crash, a businessman named Ronald Daggett offers him a mysterious substance to take that allows him to transform into anyone he wants. Hagen soon becomes addicted to it and begins working under Daggett to get more. Despite being inspired by the episode, the status of Flanagan's vision for Clayface remains mostly unknown. The Life of Chuck writer/director originally pitched the movie to James Gunn, who praised the script. However, earlier this month, reports surfaced that Hossein Amini (Drive) was hired to rewrite Flanagan's script. It's unclear how much is changing, but Flanagan hopes that the movie remains true to his original ideas. 'I don't know what they're doing with Clayface. I'm not directing it, and that filmmaker will need to make it their own,' Flanagan said. 'I know that they're doing work on the script. I'm off doing other things now, I really hope it remains true to the spirit of what I wanted it to be. But it's not my movie, so I'll be in the audience with you, anxious to see how it comes out.' Currently, not a whole lot about the movie is known, but the list of directors being looked at does corroborate reports that the film will be a horror-thriller of sorts. On Threads, James Gunn called Clayface a 'DCU story,' meaning that it will be set within the continuity of Gunn and Peter Safran's new shared DC Universe that recently kicked off with the animated Creature Commandos series. Clayface is expected to go into production this coming October, though no casting has yet been announced. The movie currently has a September 11, 2026, release date from Warner Bros. Pictures.
