James Gunn MISSES Secret WB Meeting + David Ellison's Warning

In this episode of The Nerd Gen Report (DC Round Up), we break down the troubling reports from David Ellison's first meeting with Warner Bros. executives, A-list actors rejecting The Batman Part II, and the behind-the-scenes composer drama on Supergirl.In this video:David Ellison's WB Meeting: David Ellison met with top WB execs to discuss the future and the looming $81 billion debt. However, DC head James Gunn was completely absent from the meeting, citing a cover story that he was in Atlanta for Superman pre-production. We discuss the Hollywood Reporter piece claiming the meeting lacked a clear roadmap and left execs with a "tremendous amount of uncertainty".Aaron Pierre Joins Superman: The Lanterns star has officially been added to the cast of Superman: Man of Tomorrow right before shooting begins. We debate whether James Gunn is scrambling to add him to boost star power, and if the highly anticipated Lanterns show will be the only thing to survive Paramount's incoming DC reset.Maxima Casting: Eva De Dominici is reportedly in talks to play Maxima. We express concern that James Gunn is going to lean into a humorous love triangle with Lois Lane and Superman, which could take away much-needed screen time and seriousness from Brainiac's arrival.Daniel Craig Rejects Batman 2: Daniel Craig is the latest A-lister to pass on playing Christopher Dent (Harvey Dent's father), joining Brad Pitt and Stellan Skarsgard. We discuss why leading men are avoiding this "mentor" role, and if Liam Neeson will be the one to finally say yes. Plus, we pitch The Night Agent star Louis Herthum as a better, less distracting choice for the role.Supergirl's Composer Drama: With a June 26th release date fast approaching, Supergirl is having an identity crisis with its music. After dismissing Ramin Djawadi, they hired Zack Snyder's former DC composer Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL), only to let him go less than four weeks later in favor of Claudia Sarne.#DCU #WarnerBros #DavidEllison #JamesGunn #Superman #AaronPierre #Lanterns #TheBatman2 #DanielCraig #LiamNeeson #Supergirl #ZackSnyder #NerdGenReport
