jut decided to do this. James Gunn won't make any announcements until later this fall.. But it is fun to speculate, BUT I so hope The Russo's direct Batman. Karen Gillan has expressed interest on being Poison Ivy.

Is Batman getting another reboot without Matt Reeves and Robert Battinson?

^^^Matt Reeves version is in his own universe so that will be left alone

Gunn says that he's already written the script long before the recent Writers strik happened

no way that its that perfect from that get go.

Should know the Superman actor sometime after June but definitely during comic con.

Yes. But I dont think the James Gunn universe version will be a stand alone film. From what Ive understood that one will focus more on the Bat kids.

Oh goodie, so even MORE Batman movies.. get your Batman Boners ready!!

It's called the The DC Extended Universe (DCEU)

All the DC live action films starting with Man of Steel up to Shazam 2.

No, Rob.

Emma Mackey, Phoebe Dynevor and Rachel Brosnahan for Lane.

as a big fan of Phoebe's, I hope she gets to play Lois or gets cast in something else for Gunn...

Nothing says rebooting and moving away from the disastrous DCEU than using the director of one its last movies.

IT IS OFFICIAL...

Cprenswet who I know nothing about but will and Rachel Brosnahan are the new Clark and Lois

https://deadline.com/2023/06/superman-legacy-david-corenswet-rachel-brosnahan-cast-1235420180/

Seems those two gave Gunn the best blowjobs. Congrats!

He certainly looks the part.

Despite being sick of superhero films, I'm looking forward to this simply because I'm a big Superman fan. Lanterns and the Amazon show also sound interesting. But I don't really care about the rest.

6'4", dark hair, blue eyes. Definitely classic Clark Kent.

Should keep a certain crowd happy.

Yes. Me.

Some people will say that an actor's appearance isn't important and all that matters is that they can act. I disagree. Film is a visual medium and the character's appearance matters. Race swapping a character is a big difference visually. I wouldn't be happy with that, just as I wouldn't be happy if they made Superman ugly or his suit green and white. I want to see mostly faithful adaptations on the characters and stories I know and love. And that's the thing, I only really care if it's about stories/characters I like. If they made Hal Jordan asian or whatever, I really wouldn't care. But if they changed up Superman or Wonder Woman, I wouldn't be pleased.

And lets face it, we would all be p***ed if the next Blade was white.

Race changing the main incarnations also takes away from potential alternate incarnations like a Val Zod or a Miles Morales.

Most if that stuff also applies to Marvel too, When you do argue against it you get moron's online saying your racist.

Holy shit a white American male as Superman. I'm very shocked.

Was hoping for Rupaul.

Yeah, Eiza is hot AF.

Idgaf about Wonder Woman, though.

Why they replacing Gal? She's perfect as WW. She's to WW what Downey is to IM, Evans to Cap and Hemsworth to Thor.

But Ana De Armas or Eiza Gonzalez would be suitable visually. I prefer Ana of the two.

Gina Carano as WW. Got to look and the right politics.

She's good looking and can get in the right shape, but she's a bit too old to start WW at 41, as they're going to want a younger actress that can do the part for years to come. She's not a very good actress though, action yes, acting no.

She's also a complete whiny idiot who'd rather be an edge-lord for her Rightist Twitter followers than keep lucrative TV/Film contracts.

It's ok Rob no reason this can't be fun

Poor Playa right now:

https://i.ibb.co/S5W25Yt/1593686326166878063.jpg

Yes the Julliard trained guy has me crying soooo hard. Definitely the right pick.

Corenswet was in one episode of House of Cards, but I don't remember him, probably a minor role.

No idea what his acting skills are, but Cavill isn't the best actor and still did Superman pretty well, despite Synder's "dark" approach.

I don't know how obscure that character is, but I've never heard of him. So I'm excited about obscure DC characters. That's where Gunn excels.

Anthony Carrigan kinda looks like Metamorpho.

He was pretty good in the HBO show Barry, until Barry become boring and I stopped watching.

Superman definitely can be boring. But there's plenty of good Superman stories without the Synder touch. eg The Justice League/ JL Unlimited cartoons

Superman the Animated Series was better than JL, JLU, and, dare I say it, Batman: TAS.

I did definitely like Superman TAS for what it was and is underrated compared to those others, but I probably have too much fondness for the late Kevin Conroy to go that far. Batman TAS easily went downhill with the 3rd season though and would've liked the first couple seasons of Superman TAS to be longer than they were, but I guess they were in a hurry to get started with the animated crossovers at that point.

I've found a few things on Netflix in which David Corenswet is the lead actor.. First one is Hollywood which is about actors in post WW2. Hollywood is not a bad series bit I feel it coulda been better. As for Corenswet, he was pretty decent in it.

It's amusing that the guy is getting panned already cos some of us have functioning brains and remember the cries if "who?" and "he'll be crap as Superman" about Henry Cavil when he was announced as taking the role and he ended up being excellent.

it seems Gadot is returning as Diana in Gunn's DCU

Will Greta Gerwg direct the Supergirl film?

It's got to be a hoax but everyone seems to be reporting Gunn cast Johnny Sins as Lex Luthor... super big WTF?!

Johnny Sins doesn't sound so bad in comparison

Nicholas Hoult is MANY, MANY, MANY times the superior actor to Jesse Eisenberg.

He has the potential to be a great Lex Luthor if the script is a proper Lex Luthur.

Why no one is still not looking at Mark Strong though. Beyond me.

Yeah, Nicholas Hoult is in lesser-known roles, but is highly underrated.

Mad Max Fury Road and The Menu are two great ones that I know him best from.

He is, but he's still a terrible pick for the role. He sucked as Beast, so I don't see him portraying Lex well. Too much of a challenge, he's too young too.

Bro, you made a typo in "Luthor" already - that's your subconsciousness telling us DC scripts will continue to suck.

Could be and it wouldn't be the first time.

eg Ron Howard cast his odd looking brother in small roles for his films and Clint Howard does fine in those small roles.

Man, I just re-watched James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and goddamn, it's even better than I remembered.

If it's any indication I think we're going to be in for a real treat with him taking over DC.

Superman is probably the ultimate test, because I think if he can make me give a shit about a Superman movie he can probably do anything.

seems meg donnelly and milly alcock are up for Supergirl

Milly Alcock is Supergirl.....

Good choice. She was excellent in HotD and I was sad to see her go. Casting has been pretty top notch so far.

The Suicide Squad continues to be gold with repeat viewings.

Peacemaker is great as well. Would be fun to revisit it.

I can't believe it: there may actually be a Superman movie that I'm interested in.

A bit opposite with me. First time I felt like as much as Superman Returns avoided action, MOS over compensated that criticism by overdoing the action.

That said caught a good portion of the first half on Tv the other day, and it was pretty good shrug

Returns could have been better if they didn't use another Lex Luthor maniacal real estate plot.

They were smart to make it a direct sequel to Superman II, ignoring Superman 3-4.

That's a fair point. I haven't seen it since BvS and Justice League and whatnot. It would probably hold up better than those.

I'm also just not a Superman fan. It's just not a very interesting character to me.

Superman is more interesting as a villain (like Homelander in The Boys).

Ignorance or not, Its getting to the point where its just beating a dead horse over the subject.

So apparently the plot involves Luthor creating a Superman clone called Ultraman that deteriorates into Bizzaro and goes rogue...

I'm so ****ing sick of the villains almost always being some sort of evil-Kryptonian or Luthor. I guess Bizzaro will be somewhat different... But, god dammit, I want Brainiac already!

^^^Ugh. Again???
Totally agree w. you here.

Assuming the info is correct: I still think Gunn will give us better than what we've had, but the key plot is virtually the same as BvS... just lazy.

The problem is they keep rebooting and they restart with yet another origin story and same villains. They should have kept Caville and done MOS 2 before BvS and JL.

Watch, this Supes will get 1-2 films, maybe 3, same villains we've seen and then reboot.

I like Bizarro.

Luther aside, not like Doomsday hasn't been overused himself, and after BvS I wouldn't care for seeing spiky punch monster in a live action film again, nice as a proper Death of Superman adaptation would've been.

Brainiac in live action is overdue though, yeah, even if I'm not hungry for more of him particularly.

If they really want to do something new with Luthor have him wear his Warsuit.

CW did it fine with Jon Cryer's Lex, so I'd be down for that. Can't get any worse than Eisenberg, bottom line.

Do we need Brainiac though? He's been spammed everywhere else in other medias and having another movie with yet another alien coming in with another doomsday spaceship already got that fill from Zod in MoS and then Brainiac twice in the Injustice 2 & Suicide Squad videogames. Just screw off with spaceships.

Brainiac is arguably Superman's second most important villain, so yes, we need to finally see him in a film (plus who gives a shit about the Suicide Squad game). And there are plenty of ways to do him beyond just another alien in a doomsday spaceship. Regardless, I'd be fine with many other major Superman villains. Anything other than Luthor and yet another evil Kryptonian.
