I hope he doesn’t lean too much into superman returns. It’s decent but he’s gotta have some aspect of acting from MoS mostly everyone agrees zack did a great job with that

There has never been a superman movie to hit a billion. Spider-Man finally did it 2 years ago, and it needed the tobey andrew stimulus. Mind you Spider-Man is way more popular than supes

Superman Legacy is the one. It's time. I can feel it.

Jack Hawksmoor is rumored to be a villain and what you can do with that character is potentially visually stunning.

I'm just waiting on more casting and who's scoring this thing.

Supes is due.

nah, $800M is pretty much the new billion with the way theaters have been suffering. They still aren't all the way back to 2019 levels. Maybe they will be by 2025 but I doubt it.

It's all about how you budget it. If they can keep the budget somewhat modest they can make a huge profit off less box office return.

Who:gucci:?

Better quit playing and give us somwbody with some name recognition if they trying to hit 800 millon. The Rock might be available if they dont wait too long:mjlol:


Googled who it was,and it sounds like it might look good on screen. But way too complicated and convaluted for casual movie goers. He transforms entire cities into robots:comeon:?

Will be interesting what appetite audiences have for the movie. Quality-wise i think it will be sound as Gunn has demonstrated ability with GotG and TSS.

All Star Superman is an interesting framework to use, tho i get it. Superman is a bit like Captain America where he's not naturally subversive like Batman or RDJ's Ironman, so he's not always seen as "cool". I've said before, no one cared about MCU Steve until the Russos forced him into a subversive role (without changing who he was at his core) in TWS and once again in CA:CW.

But rather than go that route, an All Star Superman like story would be akin to giving the character his flowers and playing off the strong sense of finality/mortality/impending grief (depending on how close to the source material they get). It could work.

Dead on. Superman is a character defined by the characters around him, villains and supporting alike.

He'll be just one of the villains. Lex will still be in there. Superman is all the name recognition you need and what name recognition did Guardians have?

I trust Gunn to translate Hawksmoore in a way that isn't too convoluted for audiences.

Again this is about the visual spectacle for that portion of the audience that want Doomsday and Brainiac out of the gate.

It's good middle ground, because you're not getting that from Lex.

And it's a character they can give Nicholas Hoult. (Cillian Murphy tested for Batman before ending up as Scarecrow).

I mortality thing might be too heavy for the first movie. Peacemaker, Guardians, and SS all had a parent-child dynamic at its core.

I think that’s what will lifted from All Star. “ They will join you in the sun” might be the arc of the movie. That Superman is struggling with the heroes coming along in his wake. I think visually, we will be getting the weirder stuff inspired by all Star.

there’s been a tendency to keep Superman in a dull, grey world. Metropolis,Smallville, and the Fortress are 90% of the action.

The recent SS with Idris and others has as their grand CGI battle the SS vs Staro and it was played for laughs.

In Guardians of the Galaxy every action scene is played for laughs.

So Gunn has no idea how to do serious action and that's what Superman requires.

Which Snyder understood on a fundamental level, but Gunn doesn't

So he's probably going to do Superman Returns part 2 with a smidgen of action and it's going to be weak.

And no matter what Gunn does with this movie nothing will compare with Superman's first flight from Man of Steel or his fight vs Faora and Zod :wow:

At least we know the fight dialogue will be better than “ you’re a monster. I’m gonna stop you!”
