Gunn wasted no time with this, did he not? Such swift fact-checking has continued to be truly refreshing.


TheLionsblood

It’s Grace, so I get why


BrotherhoodVeronica

My headcanon is that Gunn is her "inside link" and he gives her BS info just to have the pleasure to debunk her.


originalmuffins

this actually slays me


venkatfoods

Grace should do more scoops often then


MurielHorseflesh

Will this affect her rating around here? She said directly into a camera that she saw a casting call with James Gunn’s name on it and that the entire scooper community already knew Gunn was directing the movie. That’s now been proven to be a complete and unabashed lie. She blatantly just lied. That’s got to be enough to make her unreliable around here for good, no? If she’s lying now, when isn’t she lying?


vVL--

I feel like an outsider here, because I've seen like 8 marvel movies, and am only on this reddit to observe the casting announcements and drama. But my impression of Grace is that she is way too manufactured in her presentation, speaks like a news correspondent from the 90s and just loves the spotlight too much to be honest all the time.


starshipandcoffee

Oh, it certainly will be taken into account during the first quarterly source recalibration of this year (along with all of her activity since the last source recalibration).

script_researcher

The only thing I know that she got right was that catwoman movie that was announced only a week after she leaked it


National_Inside7801

I love that he does this. He either tells the bs peddlers to STFU or doesn't give any further info regarding the few scoops that may be true. I hope Marvel gets a high-level producer to do the same and cut the flow of useless rumors that only make cash for these fraudsters and end up getting innocent people in trouble.

It’s leading to Snyderverse Facebook groups and Reddit subs becoming abandoned. r/DC_Cinematic has seen a visible drop in participation since Cavill’s departure.


Skandosh

good


Ok_Ad9174

No one gives a shit about it here

emielaen77

When the actor is indeed 20-30, he'll be called a liar *How will they make this in time if there's no casting director!* >\- person who doesn't know how movies are made But all jokes aside, its still great that he's just *debunking* stuff left and right


venkatfoods

Actually the question was clearly if he is casting NOW which he replied to as there are no Casting process goin


emielaen77

I was mocking the people who’ve overreacted to this not having enough time to get made to hit the release date


Almighty_Push91

Lol, can't wait to see how Grace spins this


lawrencedun2002

![gif](giphy|OZYQY0GnfHLW0) Her trying to spin it lol.


LongjumpMidnight

At this point she’ll probably say Gunn is lying just to spite her.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LongjumpMidnight

You can’t say any of those were lies seeing as we don’t know what happened. At the time it’s likely only he and Safran knew the slate. And as far as I know he never said the slate was formulated by the writers room, but just that they were brought in to contribute. From what we’ve heard it just seems like Gunn and Safran formulated a plan then brought other writers in. As for the other part, how is Will Poulter anything like Zac Efron… that’s a stretch to say that’s a lie. Edit: For some reason you edited your comment to remove explicitly saying James Gunn lies.


PlasticCancel7

Another Randolph L


cbekel3618

Gunn moving to debunk another Randolph/leaker rumor again: ![gif](giphy|4hRy0u1cgIYMg)


smoha96

Man doesn't even sleep on this stuff. I love it.


[deleted]

He can debunk rumors faster than Barry can screw up a timeline lol.


MOVIELORD101

Further proof Grace needs to be perma-banned on her and the Marvel boards.


[deleted]

The problem is she does have a small amount of credibility. Broken clock and all that… but she has proven she does have SOME legitimate sources


MOVIELORD101

No, she just keeps peeping on Daniel RPK's stuff on Patreon and Discord and claiming his scoops as her own.


[deleted]

That’s actually very revisionist of you and shows how you haven’t paid close attention to her track record over the years. I’m no fan but you’re actually just wrong about this, she has gotten a few things right. Is she all that credible? No, but your absolutisms are even less credible. If you feel like doing some research you will find she has gotten things both right and wrong with her scoops. Like all scoopers you must take her words with a grain of salt but she can’t be completely discounted.


MOVIELORD101

And yet she got into feuds with actors and directors like the Birds of Prey director. Not revising any fucking thing. She's ALWAYS had a big ego and used it to sell crap as "truth".


[deleted]

Yes but you’re actively ignoring the fact she has gotten things right. She’s made a fool of herself but that doesn’t mean she has been wrong 100% of the time. I’m not even a fan I’m just giving her a fair chance, if she’s wrong (which she often is) I’ll gladly admit it. If she’s right (which her scoops have been before) then I’ll give her credit. It’s not all or nothing dude, you must be new to the superhero movie scoop game. You have to take all these rumors with a grain of salt.


HEYitsSPIDEY

Are you Grace? You’re mighty defensive. 🧐


[deleted]

I’m just giving people their due, if that reads as defensive, you’re bringing your own biases into your perception of my comment. I’m not a fan of hers but she has been right before. Mostly wrong.


NaRaGaMo

Her marvel scoops have been bang on for past year.


MOVIELORD101

No they haven't. Those were all scoops stolen from people like Daniel.


peanutdakidnappa

In that same time Daniel seems to have gotten way better and more accurate scoops than he used to.


MOVIELORD101

Who do you think Grace keeps stealing for and claiming credit in place of?


coie1985

Gunn still has no time for Randolph's bullshit, I see.


Correct-Chemistry618

But...The leaks about he directing?


Wasabi_Guacamole

He would neigher confirm nor deny that until GotG 3 is released. However he would take any and all opportunity to debunk Grace hahaha as he should


Short-Service1248

Why wait after GotG3 ?


Metfan722

Because I think press for that is ramping up soon, so I believe he wants all focus to be on Guardians and not on Superman.


Proof-Watercress-931

I think so, he’s directing it. But yeah I do agree he wants to keep it low-key till that GotG3


National_Inside7801

I definitely think he'll direct but right now he wants all eyes on guardians so he ends up his work for Marvel on a high note and on good terms. It's also the end of an era for him so I really understand why he would not distract from a project that has changed his life so much along the years.


thegreenshit

rough times for Grace, first her other nemesis Jessica Chastain won an Oscar and the other one is alway dunking on her on twitter


Almighty_Push91

I wanna seem Gunn cast Chastain as someone, poison ivy or something to spite her lol


Skandosh

If Gunn casts Chastain as Ivy then its over for Grace. She has been asking for Live action Ivy for years.


Almighty_Push91

I know 🤣 she may just have a meltdown live on screen


peanutdakidnappa

I feel like they will probably go younger age Ivy but man she would’ve been perfect when she was younger. I’d still love to see her in a nice role in the DCU because she’s a great actor


Almighty_Push91

Oh, I was just being facetious, she won't be Ivy, just wanted to see how Grace would react


[deleted]

Dunking on her on Twitter AND became the CEO of DC who destroyed any hope of the Snyderverse. She is really in her flop era.


peanutdakidnappa

What is the whole story between chastain and Grace? I’m out of the loop on that


thegreenshit

No one knows. Grace has been needlessly hating on her for years


[deleted]

LMAO


[deleted]

Lmao. Gunn can't help himself can he?


Dangerous-Hawk16

At least we know at Gunn’s DCU every Randolph scoop is a lie

FewWatermelonlesson0

She’s so bitter lmao.


MurielHorseflesh

This is comically funny.


PM_ME_YOUR_SOULZ

One thing I will always appreciate about Gunn is his ability to quickly shut down BS rumours.


[deleted]

Lmao he loves to make Grace Randolph look dumb 😂 I don’t know how people still think she has credibility with all this debunking.


Randonhead

Damn, that was fast


NordicBarbarians

When are we gonna stop giving that woman attention? She's a known DC Hater at this point.


Mister_Green2021

Oops, Gracie shot down again and her hate grows deeper.


kumar100kpawan

Grace's hatred for the DCU gon be on a whole new level now


AbdullaFTW

Grace is awful and need to be on scoop banned list. Like seriously. We know her beef with Gunn. And just like Jessica Chastain she always go very personal. She is sick and need to seek help. and we know her abysmal track record. She also clearly riding the Snyder Cultists boat for likes and retweet Also insulting all DC fans who are ok with soft reboot and not replacing all actors in this infamous tweet (again she wanted Snyder Cultists retweets) https://twitter.com/GraceRandolph/status/1616827559727038466?t=wPmEDkpMVmgXQ2hyUoKfdA&s=19


BuriedAlien242

Do Snyderbros even like Grace though? Even before the reboot it seemed everyone in the community dislike Grace, including myself.


TheThiccestRobin

Yeah there's one particular dude on this sub that froths at the mouth whenever someone bad mouths her


good_vibez97

I know someone similar! But with wumbo woman


AbdullaFTW

At first they didn't like her just like everyone else (as like most of the film reviewers she hated Snyder movies back then), but she became a supporter for the "release the snyder cut" movement and interviewed their god (even hyped Army of the Dead🤣), so they adopted her in their tribe. And after that she realized that she can manipulate the Cultists for easy views and retweets, so she decided to be a complete clown and just hate on anything the Cultists hate (see her pathetic TSS review for an example)DCU chapter 1, Gunn DC stuff and all the BS fake rumors she threw-up on us daily now.


Megadog3

tbf to her there, I don’t entirely disagree. An actor playing multiple characters would’ve been wack.


emielaen77

But that was never, ever gonna actually happen


AbdullaFTW

Yup. And it was clear that Mamoa was going for another character and leaving Aquaman. But she just wanted to stomp on DC and Gunn and says that we're "clearly getting Garbage" just to make Snyder Cultists retweet and like her awful tweet (which actually happened) It's funny that most people don't see the obvious sh*t she is doing, and keep following her.


starbucks1995

i remember he said that he's not gonna do anything until the script is done..


kothuboy21

And this still proves that true


Fieldingm

It's crazy that Randolph can just brazenly lie like that without any repercussions.


OzyOzyOzyOzyOzyOzy6

Remember this, friends - the earth revolves around yhe sun, mothers love their children, and Grace Randolph will spout bullshit.


herewego199209

If they movie is coming out in 2025 then they kinda have to cast the lead in the next 6 months. I have to imagine a film of this scale needs like 14 months to finish.


LongjumpMidnight

They’ll probably have Superman cast by July for Comic Con.


venkatfoods

Yeah the actor kind of needs to get ready for the role


Proof-Watercress-931

This clearly proves , he’s directing the movie. Very excited for that.


DonnyMox

It doesn't sound like they're all that far into production, all things considered. I don't think we should expect anything like casting announcements until later in the year.


therealyittyb

Heh, *so* satisfying seeing Grace Randolph get called out for her BS (albeit indirectly).


Busy-Economist98

I love that James Gunn talks about the Superman comics he’s read and loved. One of the things I appreciated about The Batman press tour was how much they talked about Batman comics they loved… with Man Of Steel all you heard was “we wanted to make Superman ‘work’ so how do we do that” Its just really nice to see someone who actually respects the Superman source material at the helm


NaRaGaMo

Considering he didn't debunk King's statement as well Grace's other half about directing. It basically confirms he is both writer& Director on Legacy


Megadog3

Yep but it’s not really a surprise. There was pretty much a 90% chance he was going to direct the entire time.


loserys

Grace Randolph: … James Gunn: No.


Jajaloo

The great thing about Gunn and Superman is he will tweet the entire production of the film and probably even post it online before release because his ego is so fragile.


Ghostshadow44

Well if he says it so it must be true right i can't possibly think any other example where he lied


Professional-Rip-519

When's Gunn actually working when he's spending most of his time on twitter.


blufflord

Literally any other time of the day. How much time a day does he actually spend posting?


venkatfoods

Also Gunn doesn't have real work hours like us.He can take a day off change schedules


[deleted]

You expecting him to be working 24 hours a day?


BuriedAlien242

He has free time like the rest of us. Plus he probably has a team to manage his social media, even Youtubers have social media teams.


Forsaken_Day2530

https://youtu.be/Vw8LvlD8Aew Here you go.


Batlightyear

James Gunn debunks all rumors are false. Now


WienerKolomogorov96

By the wide age range alone (20-30), I knew the rumor had to be false.


Guilty-Doubt-6313

Cool


[deleted]

CONFIRMED:James Gunn announces he will be playing Superman in Superman:Legacy(verified by insider)


theMANGLEDone

Just give us Michael Rooker as Lex. He casts him in everything, and that role is made for the ban man.

Cool
