Don't mention it in the movie, but in interviews it can be blamed on The Flash movie.

I've been seeing TV ads for this new Peacemaker season that imply that he left the old dimension (Snyderverse) and entered a new dimension. I'm guessing the movie and his cameo takes place after he's gotten settled into the new universe.

No he is still in the present which is the gunn universe. The new dimension is an alt universe where everyone goes well for him

Cavill is too old if they have a "10 year plan", his face alone would just get people to think it's the DCEU. It wouldn't have worked.
He also would not have made a good Ultraman, I'm glad that didn't happen, unsure why fans wanted that to be the case.
Peacemaker just shows how awkward the transition period is. I also would've preferred the Flash Paradox soft reboot excuse but I understand why they're trying to make it feel like a hard reboot.

Right? I thought that was the whole thing. Peacemaker killing his Gunn-verse self and taking his place, but still remembering everything that happened in the Snyderverse and having to adjust to the new one accordingly. Like a semi-fish out of water thing. We could get little banter from him here and there about how this or that is different from his universe, which could have been a bit fun.

Seems that no, none of that. This alternate dimension Peacemaker visits is just another dimension.

Gunn will absolutely do Brainiac eventually. Could happen in either a Superman solo movie or an upcoming Justice League team-up movie, but it's very obviously it'll happen. Darkseid will be saved for some final "ultimate villain" movie about a decade into this movie universe, or sooner if it for some reason ends earlier than expected.

Metallo is likely as he works for Luthor and can be his second in command replacing his henchmen in this movie. Maybe Parasite as well as Luthor needs new henchmen.

... So what are the odds of him doing the real old school thing with Brainiac? You know, where wears no pants, carries around a pet monkey named Koko and the bottled cities are literally model ship bottles sealed with corks? Because something tells me he can't resist that.

Who is the villain in the supergirl movie? Maybe braniac?
I think Ultraman is eventually going to become Bizarro, but I don't think we'll necessarily see him in a Superman movie, it'd be too repetitive.
After watching Snyder's Justice League I really want to see Darkseid, too bad we'll have to wait a long while if it even happens.

I think I read an article they're already working on a Superman 2.

Gunn has directly said a couple of times now that yes he's doing the follow-up to Superman and no, it isn't Superman 2.

And Brainiac. It's a little bit of a quandary. I have no super affinity for Snyder, but you know in your mind exactly how he'd handle Brainiac. He'd be like a stoic.... well, brainiac. And megalomanical. But smart. Cunning. And by the same filter, you know how Gunn would prooobably handle Brainiac. Yeah, I'd be worried what we'd get from the Gunn version. There'd be the wacky, and the overtalking, and silly minions and stuff.

Man of Tomorrow comes out in 2027, the first Superman sequel in my lifetime.

[Andrew NDB]

Peeked at it on HBO Max. Yeah, Gunn definitely altered the Max Lord bit at the end to include the "DAILY PLANET REVEALS LUTHOR BEHIND FAKE SUPERMAN PARENTS MESSAGE."

Anyone have a screencap of that? I haven't seen any news site reporting on it.

Finally watched. It. This movie is fantastic.

Glad to have the real Superman back same goes for the Kents. The Kents weren’t miserable at all.

I did get sick of Krypto being a little menace so much in the movie same goes for Superman getting the crap kicked out of him so much.

Guy Terrific and Hawkgirl were great too.

Hoult Luthor so much better than goofy goober eisenberg

"Your Choices, Your Actions, that's what makes you who you are." Gunn Pa Kent so much better than Snyder Pa Kent
