Wonder Woman will be flying back into theaters.
Co-head of DC Studios James Gunn reveals to Entertainment Weekly that a new Wonder Woman movie is officially in the works.
Gunn says the film is a “separate thing” to the Wonder Woman prequel TV series, Paradise Lost, that’s coming to HBO. He says that series is “slow moving, but it’s moving.”
As for the Wonder Woman film, Gunn confirms it’s “being written right now.” The lead role has not yet been cast.
The last Wonder Woman movies starred Gal Galdot in the title role.
Superman, directed by Gunn, comes out July 11, followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, starring Milly Alcock, in June 2026.
Jennifer Aniston will star in a series inspired by Jennette McCurdy‘s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.
The drama-comedy will consist of 10 episodes made for Apple TV+. McCurdy serves as a writer, executive producer and the showrunner of the series alongside Ari Katcher.
McCurdy’s #1 New York Times bestselling memoir recounts her struggles as a former child actor as she dealt with her overbearing and domineering mother.
Apple TV+ describes the upcoming series as a dramedy that “will center on the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as ‘a starlet’s mother.’”
Aniston will play the starlet’s mother in the series. She’ll also executive produce the show. Sharon Horgan, Tom Ackerley and Jerrod Carmichael are among several other executive producers on the project.
This marks another collaboration between Aniston and Apple TV+. The actress stars in and executive produces the service’s drama series The Morning Show.
McCurdy is known for her time playing Sam on the Nickelodeon series iCarly. She reprised that role in the spinoff series Sam & Cat.
I’m Glad My Mom Died was published on Aug. 9, 2022. It has spent over 80 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Bruce Springsteen was often seen on the New Jersey set of the upcoming movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, and he tells Rolling Stone that while he enjoyed his time there, it wasn’t always easy seeing his life acted out in front of him.
Springsteen is played by Jeremy Allen White in the film, and Bruce says of being on set, “I’m sure it was much worse for the actor than for me.”
“Jeremy Allen White was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set,” he shares. “I said to him, ‘Look, anytime I’m in the way, just give me the look and I’m on my way home.’ So the days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable.”
Bruce does say there was “some unusualness” watching the film being made “because the movie involves, in some ways, some of the most painful days of my life. But it was a great project.”
He says White and Jeremy Strong, who plays his manager, Jon Landau, are “both fantastic, terrific in it as were all the other actors.” Springsteen adds that Stephen Graham, who plays his dad, is “out of this world” and that everyone involved in the film “were all tremendous.”
But Springsteen wasn’t always around for the more emotional scenes. He says, “If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn’t want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home.”
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere follows The Boss’ efforts to make his 1982 solo album Nebraska. It hits theaters Oct. 24.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the entertainers who will receive honorary Academy Awards at the 2025 Governors Awards.
Along with Cruise, choreographer Debbie Allen and production designer Wynn Thomas will receive honorary Oscars at the upcoming ceremony. Additionally, Dolly Parton is set to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
The trophies will be presented at the 16th annual Governors Awards on Nov. 16 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood.
“This year’s Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact,” AMPAS President Janet Yang said in a statement.
As for what led to Cruise’s recognition, Yang said it was his “incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community [that] has inspired us all.”
Yang said Parton “exemplifies the spirit of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award through her unwavering dedication to charitable efforts.”
Allen’s recognition comes from her history as “a trailblazing choreographer and actor, whose work has captivated generations and crossed genres,” Yang said, before also recognizing the production design from Thomas.
“Wynn Thomas has brought some of the most enduring films to life through a visionary eye and mastery of his craft,” Yang said.
Cruise has been nominated for three Oscars. Allen has choreographed the Academy Awards ceremony seven times. Thomas is known for his work on Spike Lee‘s films, including Do The Right Thing and Malcolm X. Parton is being recognized for her humanitarian work, which includes her organizations the Dollywood Foundation and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
