I wasn't expecting these two to team up. Britney Spears I still have no interest in, and Will I haven't listened to his music since the mid-2000s. Best of luck to both of them, but I ain't buying.
Britney Spears is sorta interesting in that many people were expecting her to be enjoying her retirement now that her dad isn't forcing her to do his bidding and make money for him.

Didn't know her dad is an asshole. That explains so much.

Oh, you avoided hearing about the weird conservatorship and the FreeBritney thing? Was pretty big news, at least in certain corners of the net for some time a little while ago.

That's cool, but really, is Chad Stahelski even necessary? Watanabe has been doing fine with "grounded" over-the-top action by himself (or whoever they got to choreograph the fight scenes).
I don't see Stahelski as "necessary" but they're both great at what they do and have similar sensibilities and I'd love to see the result of a collaboration. Especially since Stahelski is clearly a fan.

Never knew it was that accessible because I’ve only ever left the back way once or twice -

Wait they're doing a Blue Beetle movie?! Why?! The DCEU is over, Flash ended it for good or for ill.
You just found out about this? The trailer came out around early winter. Shit, WB is delaying Aqua Man 2 because of the writers strike.

I mean yeah. Once they announced the end of the DCEU, I just assumed they'd finish out flash and aqua man and be done. I can't fathom why they finished production on Blue Beetle, let alone advertised it.


Afaik it's actually part of James Gunn's new universe.
According to this:
its part of the DCEU. Which...why? Why are they spending money on this? What, is this like insurance fraud or something? Release Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 and when they fail, insurance companies have to pay out.

I'm finding these MK: Legends one-offs more interesting and better than whatever is going on with the live-action MK sequel.

The word on Blue Beetle is that "Blue Beetle is the first DCU character, but is not a DCEU film," or that "Blue Beetle is a film set in the DCU, but isn't a DCU film." Honestly, I doubt Warner even really knows, and its status will be determined by its success/lack of it.

TBH, I could see it being both a DCEU and DCU film, as in, everything in the film happens in the same way in both settings, but it's two identical series of events that play out in alternate realities. Similar to Peacemaker - season 1 is in the DCEU, season 2 will be in the DCU, so ipso facto, season 1 must occur in the DCU in some capacity, while season 2 presumably never occurs in the DCEU. And if you're saying that's a tonguetwister and this whole thing is confusiing, then yeah, no shit, Brainiac. :(

Not that I'm overly invested in either at this point, but I'd prefer a clear break, or otherwise, do something similar to what Disney did with Star Wars - have a clear deliniation as to what's canon and what's Legends.
