The Rock has always prided himself on being the hardest working guy in the room, which is fine but can lead to dickery (like pissing in bottles). Cena has a similar work ethic but puts it towards being a great guy. It's notable that James Gunn has a tight team around him that contains people he knows work hard and work well with others and Cena is now part of that team. I don't expect to see Black Adam in the Gunniverse, unless it's a quick cameo.
How dare you. The SWHS is the greatest christm- uh, Life Day movie ever made, an absurdist masterpiece. AI wishes it could make something as incoherent.
For the newcomers: in April, The Wrap ran a feature about exactly how troubled Red One’s production allegedly was, with several insiders pointing to The Rock’s chronic unwillingness to work as a key factor.
Among claims of his wrongdoing, The Rock was accused of repeatedly showing up eight hours late to set, and also making his assistant dispose of bottles of his own urine that he’d fill when he couldn’t be bothered to walk to a bathroom.
The premise of Red One is that Santa Claus (here played by an extremely ripped JK Simmons) goes missing and has to be rescued by the unlikely double act of Chris Evans and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Want a scene where a character windmills his arms and legs as he jumps an unnaturally high distance towards a huge baddie in slow motion?
And that would be fine in itself – God knows the streamers are perfectly capable of churning out endless cheap made-for-TV movies like a spluttery sausage machine gone bad – had Red One not cost more to make than both Matrix sequels combined.
But watch the Red One trailer all the way to the end and you’ll see something quietly significant: a moment where The Rock is slapped to the ground by a CGI Krampus.

Be interested to see this. How might it work out? I'm confident in our military and their commanders though. These aren't your local cops fucking around. But what if...?
Anytime "analysts" don't know the future, they proclaim the medium dead. Superheroes are over and they have no idea what is next so they assume it's the end of their job and the industry.
But Deadpool and Wolverine will clean up at the box office, so there'll be articles declaring superhero movies are back. The real story is that corporate-mandated superhero films that no-one asked for and are just another link in the franchise sausage being churned out are not getting people into cinemas, where they will turn out form something they want to see. The interesting test will be when the Gunniverse starts - if that's a success while Marvel continue to flounder then it may give them the incentive to change course. They are already cutting back on their output and I hope that means telling quality stories the creators want to tell (that may interlink as a second thought), as that's how the MCU started.

Was just thinking the same thing recently ... inadvertently, that "project" seems perfectly timed to steer the industry in a moment of uncertainty. Like 2 "flops" from Gunn and that could be the clear beginning of the end of mainstream comic films. Great successes, and it'll keep going for sure.
I wonder if Dune (at least part 2) is having any bearing on the industry ... because I'd guess it isn't at a broad level because that kind of content and film making is just not economical enough at the "cinematic universe" scale. But then again, are we going to see more classic and epic Sci-Fi/Fantasy stories being pushed out? Is some exec chucking a fit about why they don't own the rights to Asimov's Foundation?
