Jonas J. Campbell of That Park Place, who first reported on Disney’s high spending on Star Wars last year, has revealed the production cost reached a remarkable $254 million, according to official U.K. documents. This figure doesn’t include tax credits or marketing expenses.
But Lex isn’t the only Superman 2025 villain set to make his on-screen return in the new DC Universe.
James Gunn recently shared during the Superman home release commentary that The Engineer, played by Maria Gabriela de Faria, will return in a future installment. She was the villain who battled Superman alongside Ultraman and Lex Luthor in the movie.
This recent development further intensifies the existing debate surrounding Disney, ABC, and their related companies.
Based on the world established in the Disney+ animated series *What If…?*, *Marvel Zombies* follows a group of people struggling to survive against superpowered zombies and save the world. IGN’s Jesse Schedeen gave it a positive review, scoring it 8 out of 10 and calling it “Great.” He noted that while the show can be predictable, it’s more satisfying than recent Marvel Cinematic Universe projects. He went on to elaborate:
Brad Winderbaum from Marvel Television recently told Comicbook.com that they’re planning future episodes of *Marvel Zombies*. He stressed that a second season will only happen if viewers tune in to watch the first, explaining that more episodes will be made if there’s enough interest. Winderbaum also confirmed the team is prepared to start working on Season 2 as soon as they get the go-ahead.
For a long time, rumors have circulated that Brainiac – Superman’s second most famous enemy after Lex Luthor – will be the big bad guy in the upcoming film, *Man of Tomorrow*. Director James Gunn recently hinted that these rumors are true when he posted a picture of the script’s cover page, which showed an image of a brain that wasn’t human. Fans believe this means Brainiac will be the main villain, and that Superman will have to team up with Lex Luthor to defeat him.
Jimmy Kimmel described his suspension as the government trying to suppress his speech, telling viewers that threatening a comedian because the president dislikes them is un-American.
Let’s not overstate things – “Dolly” isn’t on the same level as Hooper’s groundbreaking horror film, and that’s okay. Director Blackhurst (who also co-wrote the script) clearly loves classic horror, and he pays tribute to it while also adding his own unique, disturbing twist. The result is a genuinely creepy and enjoyably twisted throwback that horror fans will really appreciate.
Here is a complete list of references and easter eggs that made this series stand out.
