Following the announcement that DC Studios’ Sgt. Rock   has been placed on hold, details about the project emerged including several pieces of information that Nexus Point News has been tracking for months.  Luca Guadagnino was set to direct the film with a script written by frequent collaborator, Justin Kurtizkes with James Gunn and Peter Safran set to produce. The film was eyeing to shoot this Summer in the UK. Many sources reported that this contributed to the film being placed on hold. Nexus Point News learned that the plan was to shoot the majority of the film on location and outdoors and with a plan to shoot in approximately a month-and-a-half span, issues arose with timing and the ability to execute this plan. Colin Farrell was deep into negotiation to play the titular character of Sgt. Frank Rock and was nearing the end of his deal. It was originally reported by @ApocHorseman on X, that Daniel Craig was being eyed to portray the character, later corroborated by Deadline in November 2024. Months later, Nexus Point News broke the news that Craig was no longer attached to the film. It was reported that Jeremy Allen White was later offered the titular role but passed. Nexus Point News has learned that prior to White receiving the offer, Cillian Murphy had been offered the role. The film would have followed Sgt. Frank Rock, Mademoiselle Marie, and the Easy Company as they fight the Nazis in a battle to recover the Spear of Destiny in World War 2. Joining Sgt. Rock in the film was frequent love interest, Mademoiselle Marie. Many sources have claimed the role was cast, but this is not the case. Mikey Madison and Taylor Russell were originally offered the role, but the role was very much open and had not been cast as some sources reported. © DC Entertainment Nexus Point News has learned the Easy Company would have consisted of the following line-up: Bulldozer - He’s described as a hotheaded, muscular man in his late 20s. © DC Entertainment Wildman - Sgt. Rock’s right-hand man and the team’s medic. He’s known for his big, red beard. © DC Entertainment Jackie Johnson - A former heavyweight boxing champion in his 20s. © DC Entertainment Sure Shot - An Apache sniper in his 20s. © DC Entertainment Bean Pole - A skinny 19 year-old grenadier and translator. © DC Entertainment Dash - An 18 year-old former track and field champion who serves as the team's ammo bearer. Although the name, Dash, does not appear in the comics, he would’ve been named Philip Mason, a name used by Ice Cream Soldier. © DC Entertainment Four Eyes - A nerdy 19 year-old comic book artist. © DC Entertainment Junior - A 17 year old soldier who lied about his age to enlist. © DC Entertainment Johnny Doe - An original character who finds satisfaction with each kill and makes a tally on his rifle after a kill. Mike Faist, who was claimed to have been cast, was being eyed to play Johnny Doe. Although being eyed, an offer was never made to finalize this. Similarly, David Jonsson’s involvement in the project was reported but he was never officially cast and was only being eyed for the role of Jackie. Unlike Faist, the conversation with Jonsson ended early and the role was never pursued. Several sources have reported that the project is not cancelled and is being reevaluated to shoot in Summer 2026. Although Nexus Point News cannot corroborate this, it has been confirmed that the project is not officially cancelled yet, but placed on pause.

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.
