Who’s gonna do the acting? 

 

It's Superman. If Chris Evans could play him (PRETENDING to be someone else), pretty much anyone could play him.

Like it does not take a good actor to pull off Superman...

Seriously, guy, you Elondi obesseion is not giving you  a good look...

Who is the last actor to play Superman that was poorly received by critics and fans? Cavill, Routh, Welling, Cain were all popular. None are Marlon Brando, either. Chris Evans was an atrocious acting heading into Marvel who did very well playing the Clark Kent/Superman character of the MCU.

According to Deuxmoi, multiple actors from Outer Banks made audition for this.

 

Madelyn Claine started following DC this week on IG.

I genuinely can't imagine how anyone could not be excited for this now.

Snyder fans pointing to Guardians reviews as proof this will be bad as if it's not gotten better reviews than every movie Cavill has appeared in as Superman (theatrically anyways)

Outer Banks actors LOL Chase Stokes looks like he could be a solid villain.

Snyder fans are beyond pathetic at this point.

I bow to Gunn but I was hesitant with him helming Superman..

 

After watching Guardians 3, I take back everything I said

 

His ability to garner empathy from subjects which unfairly receive apathy such as raccoons (Suicide Squad did this, as well, with rats) proves a perfect match for Superman. Gunn's heart is sappy but earnest, and he has an uncanny devotion to character arcs and realizations of self-discovery through teamwork+family. And 3 displayed a more mature handling of his unwavering attraction to provocation and juvenile humor (which works for stuff like Super or Suicide Squad, but occasionally overbearing in previous Guardians movies). He uses banter and irreverent comedy in 3 as a means of levity and Superman movies need levity

Agreed. He's going to do an incredible job with Superman.

JG is obviously along the top 5 overall choices for Superman. His ability to inject legitimate heart into huge scale films is Speilberg esque and exactly what some of Nolan's more cold films are missing.

I think James Gunn is a better choice than someone like Matthew Vaughn or especially the Russo Brothers, even if I’m not as crazy about his style as a lot of other people. If he can keep the comedy more subdued than GotG and TSS, then that should be fine for me.

These. Freaking. Idiots

People are never going to stop bringing up Zack Snyder fans, are they?

Nope, because a huge amount of them never stop bringing up dc and Gunn so they’ll constantly be made fun of for stupid posts like the above. It’s just the way it’s gonna be until they actual move on.

They're a very vocal group so probably not anytime soon.

You could simply ignore them? I’m not sure what the point is in engaging in so much negativity.

I used to think Vaughn would have been great for Superman (I think they tried to get him for a Man Of Steel sequel) but after the Kingsman sequels…hell no.

Superman will require a bit of growth from JG obviously but he more than has it in him. The flight shots and action should be incredible.
