On #OscarsSoWhite: “It’s subjective. I watch movies with my girlfriend all the time, and I will sit there and say, ‘That was sh-t!’ and she’ll go, ‘Really? I enjoyed it!’ But, that said, this year in particular, there seems to be a serious lack of black guys and girls being nominated.

Maybe the solution is to have more diversity in the members. But does that mean we are saying that to have more black academy members would result in more black nominations? Is that not racist itself?”
Sound logic there, Clark :mjpls:

I just want a MOS sequel with Brainiac as the main villain is that too much to ask ? :snoop:
Brainiac is on Krypton and B5 is on super girl ..

You know how DC/WB feel about multiple versions of the same character appearing on screen at the same time..

they killed Amanda Waller and others on Arrow because the suicide squad movie.. killed death stroke because the planned and failed Deathstroke movie..

Maybe AT&T will be different but by the looks of things @ HBO... I don't think so

So we're running with this as fact yet whenever DC announces a new movie y'all do the whole wait and see act:mjlol:
There aren't even any rumors that he's going be replaced, it's just this one article that posits the question of "May he be replaced?"

Could Henry Cavill Be Replaced As Superman?

According to Revenge of the Fans' Mario Robles, Henry Cavill is in contract negotiations with Warner Bros. about Man of Steel 2, where there is "hardball" being played, with it sounding like Cavill is holding out for higher pay.

It's said that Henry Cavill's manager, Dana Garcia (also Dwayne Johnson's manager and producer on Shazam!), is trying to get Cavill what he deserves, which is to be paid as an A-lister. Obviously we can gather WB doesn't feel the same and doesn't want to cough up the dough, but it is noted the talks are characterized as being positive and good.

Interestingly enough, Dwayne Johnson was recently asked about his Black Adam meeting Shazam on the big screen, which saw him reply with, "Who knows." Dwayne Johnson is also on board the Shazam! movie as a producer, so wouldn't he know?

To add to all the possible tension, it's further rumored that Ben Affleck might be out as Batman, and that a new younger actor may be announced for the Matt Reeves movie.

So could Henry Cavill be replaced as Superman as well?

It could possible that WB doesn't want to pay up and may want to get even further away from what Zack Snyder did with the DCEU. While no fault of Henry Cavill, he is basically the face of Zack Snyder's trio of movies, which haven't done all that well. Could WB be wanting to get away from the Snyder movies and start Superman anew? Perhaps bringing in a younger Superman actor and returning to the classic costume (which the comics recently have?).

By all accounts, Zack Snyder is out of the DCEU (only producing certain movies, which was a part of his original contract) and there is a new management team on board. Could a soft reboot of the DCEU be taking place?

*Birds of Prey has a script approved, director, and at least one central character cast whose actor has stated it's scheduled to start shooting the beginning of 2019.*

nikkas: Lol I bet it doesn't even come out.

*Random bloggers start speculating Henry Cavill may be replaced.*

Also nikkas: LOL DC stay losing. Can't even keep Superman.


It's funny in how predictable it is.
