SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

[verbalkint]

Should be interesting to see how this is pulled off. Unless it’s just oh there’s hawk girl walking by in the background!

I'm thinking very similar to the Snyder video cameos from BvS. Hope everybody keeps that same energy lol.

Gunn's got some big shoes to fill and Routh/Reeves reboot isn't going to cut it in 2025...

The tone already feels like the Brandon Routh film...which was beyond awful.

Maybe Gunn is banking on people forgetting about that film?

And how many characters is he trying to cram into this movie?

I voiced the same issue and they cried about it for days in here...

That's the only thing I'm worried about... is it going to feel natural or is he cramming a bunch of people that most people don't know about, into a movie that doesn't need it

You were talking about there being 100 characters

 

[T.H.E.GOD]

Not gonna lie. I’m hyped for this. Hoping this is the one that sets it off right.

I highly doubt it will be forced like that.

DC had a movie make a ton of money that was set in an already built universe, why are we acting like it’s never been done before.

He's just cramming in people to setup other solo movies....

Supergirl, Hawkgirl, Lex, Mercy, and other unnamed antagonists....

Plenty of room...

Keep the same energy for BvS folks...

Gunn is not Synder let that man cook.

Yeah he's tiers above that miserable hack

Yeah he's tiers above that miserable hack

I’ll give Synder his props he’s good at action set pieces. Still to this day he has the best live action Batman fight scene. He’s Bats was doing some Arkham shyt lol. But I agree with you Gunn is a tier above Synder at least in the super hero department. Homie can actually write characters you’ll give a fukk about and decent action scenes. What crazy is that Dawn of the Dead remake shown us. With combined efforts Gunn and Snyder could make a dope movie. Combining Gunn’s writing with Snyder’s action.

At one point yea... I still stuck with what I said after about throwing 10-15 of them in the same way

You mean the movie I said ruined the entire process by shoehorning in characters?

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I would guess that many of the characters will be just cameos but even then James Gunn is usually good about making sure everyone in the ensemble gets enough screen time and has their "moments"

I wouldn't be concerned about that aspect

Snyder introduced characters in the shyttiest way possible, so now it's impossible for anyone to do it without giving them their own movie first?

James Gunn Decries “Cameo Porn” In Superhero Movies

"If a character is in film, they have to have a reason to be there story-wise," said the 'Superman: Legacy' director.

deadline.com

As fans quizzed Gunn on which characters they could expect to see in upcoming projects, Gunn held forth on the subject of cameos which have, of late, become a regular, almost expected surprise in superhero films (think Nicolas Cage in The Flash).

“That’s fine if it doesn’t disrupt the story,” Gunn wrote. “It’s the plot contrivances that develop from a cameo, not the cameo itself.”

One commenter lamented what he described as the practice of “having character appear on screen for 10 seconds to mark a checkbox.”

“I call that ‘Cameo Porn’ and it has been one of the worst elements of recent superhero films,” replied Gunn. “If a character is in film, they have to have a reason to be there story-wise.”

Gunn’s response: “The whole point was it’s NOT a large film – I mean, not in terms of cast. It’s normal for single protagonist films to have other characters – much more unusual for them not to.” He also pointed out that “none of those roles [in Legacy] are cameos.”

Oppenheimer was presented as an example of a single-protagonist film with a lot of characters. Gunn heartily agreed.

Who will the villain be in this? The villain needs to be done correctly for this shyt to do well. I need to see a major plot twist too. Otherwise u failed. If the Gunn can innovate outside of that. Let’s see it. Nothing in movies today is breaking boundaries and that’s the problem. It’s all been done
