It looks like two big players at Marvel Studio have found their next big move after The Marvels. Director Nia DaCosta and Tessa Thompson plan to reteam after The Marvels for a remake of Hedda Gabler titled Hedda. Thompson is only rumored to appear in the final Marvel Studios film of the year, but her appearance is reportedly based on some solid sourcing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Marvels star will lead the new film as the titular character, but nothing else is known about the reboot besides what’s in the article. Hedda will be written and directed by DaCosta, and it will be her next major film since 2021’s Candyman.
The next Marvel Studios film Will Be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Marvel Studios describes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 as follows: “Peter Quill, still reeling from the loss of Gamora, must rally his team to defend the universe along with protecting one of their own. A mission that, if not completed successfully, could quite possibly lead to the end of the Guardians”.
What is director James Gunn Doing Next?
James Gunn is officially announced that he is directing the next Superman movie, Superman: Legacy which will hit theaters on July 11th, 2025. Gunn and Safran recently took over as the co-CEOs of DC Studios last year and when the duo was announced by the new Warner Bros. Discovery leadership, they released a statement on their excitement for the job.
“We’re honored to be the stewards of these DC characters we’ve loved since we were children,” Gunn and Safran added in a joint statement. “We look forward to collaborating with the most talented writers, directors, and actors in the world to create an integrated, multilayered universe that still allows for the individual expression of the artists involved. Our commitment to Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Harley Quinn, and the rest of the DC stable of characters is only equaled by our commitment to the wonder of human possibility these characters represent. We’re excited to invigorate the theatrical experience around the world as we tell some of the biggest, most beautiful, and grandest stories ever told.”
