DC Films Brass on How Whedon Got Involved in DCEU
DC Films co-boss Jon Berg has shared how Avengers filmmaker Joss Whedon got involved in the cinematic DC Extended Universe.
In an interview with Variety, Berg revealed that Warner Bros. always has general meetings with creatives about comics and superhero movies.

LawBreakers Could Come to Xbox One
LawBreakers is coming to PC and PlayStation 4 on August 8, but Cliff Bleszinski's newest game could come to Xbox One at some point.
In an interview with IGN at E3, Bleszinski said he wouldn't rule out the possibility of an Xbox version and explained why LawBreakers is launching on PS4.
"Xbox fanboys got really salty at me on Twitter, like, ‘It’s like you’re turning your back on the box that built your career with Gears,’" Bleszinski said. "And I’m like, not necessarily, because my first priority to me is my employees. I have 65 employees, many of whom have families, and I need to keep the lights on. When we looked at the fact that we could only ship on one console initially, PlayStation has the huge install base. That doesn’t mean that we can’t do an Xbox version later, or Xbox XOXO, or whatever they’re calling it these days. I wouldn't rule it out."
Wonder Woman: DC Films Brass on Sequel
Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins is already hard at work on the sequel to the DC solo film.
In an interview with Variety, DC's Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns was asked whether Jenkins will be back to direct Wonder Woman 2, as it was reported earlier this month that Jenkins hadn't signed on yet to direct a sequel. Johns confirmed Jenkins will return, as he's currently writing the treatment for the sequel with the filmmaker.
The Last Jedi Director Has Shot One Scene for Episode 9
A scene for Star Wars: Episode IX has already been shot by The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.
In an interview with MTV (via TheWrap), Episode IX director Colin Trevorrow said he asked Johnson to shoot a scene in a specific location, and Johnson was happy to oblige. However, Trevorrow did not go into any details about the scene or why it was particularly important to film months before Episode IX begins production.
"There was one little thing," said Trevorrow. "It wasn't an adjustment, it was just, 'Could you shoot this one extra thing while you're in this place on this day?' And he did, which was great." Trevorrow went on to note that making this new set of Star Wars films is a collaborative effort and that "everyone is in communication."
