I'm late reading this but if dude is out, it was pretty apparent with the whole mustache/Justice League debacle that he didn't care anymore anyway. I think if any us got a chance to play supes, we cutting it off if they need to do reshoots and would be in MI looking like Shawty Lo with some Begine on.

I walked out of the theater after seeing JL and knew they needed a reboot so I'm glad it seems to be heading in that direction. Either do flashpoint or crisis and start it off right rather than force it. Keep Gal and get some new blood in there that want to be there and not going to get caught on camera looking depressed when they movie about to drop like Affleck.

I agree with the reboot talk but thing Gal Gadot also needs to get the fukk out of here. Also some dumb motherfukkers need to be fired at WB, this entire shyt has been abysmal they should have taken the required steps the minute MOS received a mixed reception. Reboot this whole shyt and let this current shyt fest die.

Yeah he'd be good but I think the "boy scout" Cyclops role fits him.

I can't see him being Silver Surfer that's a CGI role/makeup.

Doom....Cillian Murphy. Something about that dude makes that role tailor made for him.

Namor.

Sounds funny but I'm going out on a limb and want Iko Uwais.

Gahdamn bruh....All those would be dope...hold this rep

And did it with initially only 4 characters that opened up the door for all the others.

Not only that.... they started the whole Megafranchise Aka Cinematic Universe shyt

And showed cats the basic outline of the blueprint and no one can get it right.

So much for all the hate and shyt talk about “dat formula”

The test of time and success has more than vindicated it

It cracks me up when dudes clown Marvel for their formula, but don't have nothing to say for the failed attempts at making a connected universe trying to copy that formula without the groundwork:pachaha:

This is absolutely fukking amazing.

I'm starting to think that the primary DC characters being so old and having so much history is part of the problem.

It sounds like this basically boils down to Cavill wanting WB to shyt or get off the pot with Superman, since having to keep things open for maybe coming back for whatever the fukk they have planned is fukking his money up at a time that he's got juice.

And THAT all comes down to them rushing into BvS and Justice League because they basically assumed that audiences were fsmilfam with the characters, and didn't need the buildup that the MCU had.

Man, them nikkas was WRONG. The overlap between the comic audience and the comic movie audience is nowhere near as great as they think. So, with no prior intro to half the characters, and no lead in storyline, Justice League basically had to be a really good movie to move the needle. And it wasn't.

But trying to picture to Supergirl also suggests that they don't even understand why Wonder Woman was a hit. It wasn't just the fact that it was a female lead (although it certainly did help), it really just came down to the fact that it was fun movie that was overall pretty good. These nikkas finna throw out a Supergirl movie that ends up being trash, and wonder how they fukked up AGAIN.

Yep.

Word of mouth in this day and age still matters.

People hear/read good things about a movie, they are going to check it out.

That is what happened with Wonder Woman.

BvS, MOS, and Suicide Squad would have made even more money had they actually not been panned by the general public. WB killed its DC film brand with these not up to par movies.

Wonder Woman's success is even more amazing when you think about it. It won in spite of the stigma of the DC film brand.

The public also knew WW was the exception and not the rule because they were not hyped to see Justice League. And they were right. Would have been more of the same, but WB with the edits probably made it even worse.

Especially considering it would be a beefed up in charge role with depth from Disney.

He'd be perfect.

He's short I thought,might be a better Wolverine. He played the brooding role so well as Superman it should be natural:martin:


As horrible as he was as Superman he can't be blamed completely.

I like Cavill as supes WB is just being reactionary instead of sticking to a game plan. His sequel was hijacked for alcoholic batman then they fukking killed him lol.

U can tell he loves the role but he dont want to be on the shelf because try to stay in shape while waiting for the shooting call is hard work if he getting offers for roles that dont need him bulky. Marvel’s cast at least know their schedule for the next film

I’m know it’s hard work staying in shape to look the part when you really want a doughnut and pizza

It's the way the role was written and directed.

He had a solo pic 5 years ago and is like WTF.

Cavill needs to be careful, movies like this is where he can stay a star because his acting is mediocre at best...
