Superman (2025 film)
 

Apparently it will have Jon Kent? Uh oh. You know what that means.

Yup.

“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s….two guys doing the plough?”

Apparently? That's all garbage speculation.

What about when it isn't and it's a Jon Kent flick?

You're gonna be in a theater with a bunch of social-puritan-apartment-lifers with thick rimmed plastic glasses, black sweaters and Starbucks as they all coo at the end and say it was stunning and brave. Especially the obligatory man-to-man sex scene which is required in these flicks simply because these people are more concerned with the "gayness" than the "humanity". But maybe someone will get an in-flight Super-BJ and at least that will be a new perspective.

:lol: Just kidding.

I say bring it on. I hope they throw a ton of dough into it and make sure that everyone has really good, metro-sexual-smooth skin, Superman Returns style.

Straight from Gunn's Twitter

I thought Legacy was going to be about a black Superman?
I thought they were chasing Michael B. Jordan for the lead.

That might be the only thing straight about it…
:twink:

no Superman Legacy is Clark Kent's Superman Movie. No Jon Kent No Black Superman. I don't think MBJ's Superman movie is happening anymore.


Also Gunn responded to a fan regarding Jon Kent

Maybe he means Lois will have a child, his child. I doubt he’s one of those people who think that men can get pregnant…or is he?

And in regards to the tweet, he’s just saying, “I didn’t specifically say that Clark will have a kid.” He’s neither confirming nor denying Jon’s appearance in the movie.

BUT I could end up being wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time. :ohwell:

That article literally posted fan speculation and then assumed that Legacy is what the title implies.

Oh and if you wanna be technical, we already had a Superman movie with his son in it....it was Superman Returns.

Doubt it will be the only movie with a Superman junior in it, though, and Legacy may or may not be the next one.

And if any of you think that Hollywood directors always tell you the truth before a movie/show’s release, then you obviously don’t know about the Kevin Smith/Clownfish TV drama.

Was that what that was?

Yeah, it’s also a movie with cannibalistic Pomeranians in it.

Tom King let it slip Gunn is the director in an interview that was pulled from Youtube

I’m down. I don’t love his previous films but I think this is going to be something unique and special for James Gunn. I think he understands the character he’s dealing with. Don’t expect this to have the same exact tone as Suicide Squad.

Probably more in vein with the emotional moments from Guardians.

Gunn directing is not news... he said he wanted to direct it from the start, but was focusing on writing it and it wasn't set in stone. This could just be Tom going off of those earlier comments.

Gunn would have likely debunked it by now if it weren’t true. He’s basically sent scoopers into hiding with his misinformation-squashing on twitter.

I just worry he won't be able to get behind the amount of stoicism Superman requires. You know, without resorting to sight gags or goofy stuff to make a joke of everything.

But we'll see. He's a smart enough guy that he knows what people's perceptions of his limitations are. He might surprise, if his heart is really in it.

Gunn confirms he is director

Two upcoming Batman feature films, a Superman movie finally on the way, The Authority and my beloved Swampy finally getting the treatment they deserve, a Joker sequel….I really couldn’t be more pleased with WB’s upcoming slate.

Especially because the MCU is crapping the bed. Paradigm shift coming right up.

Pencils down for Gunn as the writer's strike looms

Gunn handed in a first draft for the studio to put into production before the writers strike happened.

Gunn lets it slip Krypto will feature

It will introduce The Authority.

Serious question: What do people expect from a new Superman film? Even though I grew up with 90s comics, I always liked the more light-hearted, cheerful versions of Superman the most. I thought Cavill's portrayal was way too gloomy. I guess Chris Evans' Captain America is how I'd like a new Superman.

I think Man of Steel was... 80% the Superman movie* I wanted to see (granted, he didn't really BECOME Superman until the end). For that 20% that was off, I'd just say improve the "fun." And if Lex is in it, I don't know who they'd cast but I'd want someone only slightly older than Superman. Like a Billy Zane back in 1999 or so type.

Something uplifting and simple.
No post-modernism ****** metacommentary, no dour "deconstruction", no self-irony (which is nowadays is basically self-hatred). Something old school heroic, fun with a good natured wit and maybe a bit of humor (but not too much).

Something, which make you feel great and aspire to be better, after you watched it.

Mostly impossible nowadays, but, one can hope?

I agree with this 100%. Somewhere in between the 80's movies and Cavill's appearances. Truth is I think Cavill is 100% the perfect Superman in every way. He was just given dour material to work with.

But as far as looks are concerned, Superman should be a brick shithouse.

That is Henry Cavill all the way. "Lean Superman" doesn't work.

Thank god Superman and Lois are white. Seems like a good choice.

I'm not familiar with David Corenswet but he's got the look (looks a lot like Henry Cavill, lol) and he's pretty tall. Google search immediately suggested "David Corenswet height" so everyone seems to be doing the same thing, haha.

EDIT: God, shut the **** up, Cubed...

They were planning a black Superman movie before James Gunn took charge of the DC movie slate.

Just watched a few interviews with them and clips. Not bad. Not bad at all, especially that Lois. That dude needs to hit the weights hard, though. And I don't want to hear "Superman needs a swimmer's body" again because that's bullsh**.

Brosnahan reminds me of Margot Kidder which isn't bad. And I just listened to an interview with Corenswet, his voice is great! But yeah, buff him up hard.

Don't know anything about actor-dude but he looks scrawny as hell. They better get him drinking Carnivore Mass, man.

As I said, it's a miracle they're both white. This feels like classic Superman and Lois.

Superman has always been white in media you twit. :roll::roll::roll:

Christopher Reeves White Margot Kidder White
Dean Cain White Terry Hatcher White
Brandon Routh White Kate Bosworth White
Tom Welling White Erica Durance White
Henry Cavill White Amy Adams White
Tyler Hoechlin White Bitsie Tulloch White

When Superman and Lois first launched Dean Cain always sort of felt like a hispanic guy in the Super-suit.

And I think Cubed is doing his routine trolling thing, but either way I suspect that the last several years of white-hate and race-swapping in media is what he is basing his commentary on.
