His renewed interest in making bigger movies has led to inevitable speculation about superhero roles. In particular, many fans have suggested that he should take over the character of Wolverine from Hugh Jackman (who vacated the role before agreeing to reprise it in “Deadpool 3”).

Star McClarnon is also executive producing, along with George R. R. Martin and Robert Redford....

Fincher set up “Mank” at Netflix, the home of his television series “Mindhunter” and “House of Cards.” The director told Total Film he enjoys working with Netflix because the streamer takes all the pressure out of delivering a big opening weekend gross number. “Mank” will launch on Netflix and live on Netflix indefinitely, which Fincher finds alluring. The director added, “It’s not particularly a smart business plan to make a love letter to another movie that’s on [rival streaming service] HBO Max…But, listen, if we only did the stuff that was smart, there’d probably only be Marvel and ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Jurassic Park’ movies....

On the television side, winners were unsurprising, but not undeserved, and most importantly settled the “Succession” direction question. More on that later. Among the big three TV prizes — for directing in comedy, drama, and limited series, respectively — the DGA voting body both confirmed and clarified a lot of information that it was already safe to assume....

This mid-August weekend usually sees bigger openings. In the five years between 2015-2019, six titles debuted above $21 million. Last year, in a season of still-recovering grosses, “Free Guy” opened to $28 million. “Super Hero” in 3,007 theaters is by far the widest-ever domestic Japanese anime release. The Toei Animation film fell a little short of “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train” last year, which played at a little more than half as many theaters to open at $21....
