Gonna be honest I don’t like this entire-audition-process genre of scooping that is emerging. I feel it’s unfair to everyone involved to just be letting everyone know who’s up for the role at every step of the way. Hope it doesn’t happen for every big DC role
brother this is not emerging. these are professional trades reporting it. it has been like this for years lol

No it hasn’t. Not scooping specifically about auditions to this degree. And not the trades like variety or hollywood reporter giving lists of who’s up for it, saying when people are self-taping, reporting who’s no longer in the running, future articles about who it’s now down to. All in real time as the process is happening. This isn’t common. Lame for all of the girls, for the casting director and for Gunn. Just an overall bad thing

it's been like this for 20 years brother i dunno what to tell you
I loved when they hit us with the surprise castings before the strike with Hawkgirl, Guy, Terrific, and Metamorpho
Supes and Lois I get because those are the leads
But the others should be left until announcement
lol Gunn basically sending them who up for consideration and using it as a way to reveal information. There is no way all of this is leaking. he has been doing this

Eh I remember plenty of times in the past where this was the case. When they were casting for Spider-Man in Civil War, casting for The Batman, Wonder Woman in BvS, etc.
I think for BIG roles it's going to be like this
But it's also indicative of scoop culture in general. We know too much about these movies before they come out and I think castings is starting to get looped in with it

Man its clear Gunn and WB is leaking some of these details....
He has been open throughout the process
Any leak thats wrong he checks them then suddenly the correct information releases from someone they like
be honest
it's been like this for 20 years brother i dunno what to tell you
I vividly remember names like Josh Hutcherson & Logan Lerman being thrown out in 2010 during the Amazing Spider-Man casting process, so yeah, this has definitely been a thing

Oh obviously, he can go on threads all he wants and deny it lmao
If not him he's telling someone at DC to tell the trades

Exactly to pretend to be dumb this far along in the process is crazy to me
Same as "oh I am releasing Superman the movie on the birthday of my dad that died I forgot my dad dads birthday what a coincidence
BE F***ING FOR REAL MAN

For any of those was it legit like ‘these are the actors that auditioned for Spider-Man/Batman/Wonder-Woman last week’ -> ‘this is the shortlist as of today’ -> ‘these people are sending second tapes’ etc? I remember names coming out for each of those roles but not to this degree but maybe I’m wrong

Pretty much
For example back in 2015 with MCU Spidey
I remember hearing Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, and a couple other names. Then another report came out that Asa was out. Then another one said it came down to Tom and another kid. Then it was confirmed to be Tom.
It's been like that for some time. I just think the speed at which information travels today makes it seem like it's happening much more. But also, not everyone and their mother was making comic book movies a decade ago so it felt more rare for these reports to come out
Me personally I dont mind the casting reports, It's fun and hella interesting to me.
Im dating myself but I remember rooting for my dawg Anton Yelchin to get the Spider-Man role during the TASM castings before Garfield got it.
Side note RIP to Anton Yelchin man, tragedy only 27, if he lived, he would have had a dope career almost similar to where Miles Teller or Paul Dano is now. Life ain't fair man.
