James Gunn Is Not Making a ‘Young Superman’ Movie Despite Recasting Henry Cavill

Apple is pretty conservative when it comes to its iPhone colors. Its yearly iPhone updates often come in subtle colors, although Apple shakes up things time and again with a handful of its devices by trotting out some really stark colors like green and yellow. iPhones such as the iPhone 5C, and iPhone XR were offered in snazzy and vivid colors such as Red, Blue, Green, and even Coral. For people who do not like flashy colors, Apple also tried its hand at making matte iPhones for one year with its iPhone 7 series but soon stopped. However, the Cupertino-based tech giant could yet again go back to creating matte black iPhones, but sadly, this will not include the upcoming iPhone 15 series.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!

We’ve got a new look at Henry Cavill’s swansong as Geralt of Rivia, thanks to some behind-the-scenes pictures from the show’s stunt coordinator and assistant director. Wolfgang Stegemann shared a series of images from the filming of the Geralt vs. Vilgefortz fight, and they’re actually pretty moving. 

director James Gunn has seemingly confirmed that Krypto will appear in the DC Universe.

Jamie Foxx is set to play God in Not Another Church Movie, a new comedy from director Johnny Mack.

Video game film and TV adaptations seem to be coming at us from all directions these days, however Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert isn't keen to see his piratical puzzler head in this direction.

There are plenty of video game-related shows and movies in the works. We’ve started to really see this industry hit a stronger stride when it comes to adaptations. While not directly a video game-adapted television series, there is quite a bit of fanfare for The Witcher. This series might have captivated an audience from the previous line of video games. However, it’s a show that was adapted from a series of novels, the same on which CD Projekt Red based their games. 

James Gunn has debunked a rumor that Ben Affleck was supposed to make a cameo in .

director Ángel Manuel Soto has called it a relief to be a part of James Gunn’s DC Universe.

The Toxic Avenger isn’t the superhero the world wants, but it may be (once again) the superhero the world needs. For the past two decades, American movie theaters have been overtaken by an exponentially exhausting and sterile battle between Marvel and DC. But The Toxic Avenger offers an alternative, filled with humor, violence, and bad taste. As famously pitched ahead of the film’s flop of a release in 1984, “He was 98 pounds of solid nerd until he became… The Toxic Avenger, the first superhuman-hero from New Jersey.”

The 20th anniversary of Park Chan-wook’s Oldboy has brought the movie back into theaters, in a newly refurbished and remastered 4K version that’s launched plenty of online write-ups on the movie’s historical and cinematic value. Those pieces certainly aren’t wrong — the film’s 2003 release was a watershed moment for Korean cinema in the international market, and its stunningly grim and bloody one-take battle, with the protagonist fighting his way through a hallway jam-packed with mooks, has inspired endless copycats and homages, from The Raid: Redemption to Netflix’s Daredevil to The Princess and all the way up to James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
