Any speculation what he'd work on? I assume Superman but would it build on Kingdom Come or be a new separate project?

Any speculation what he'd work on? I assume Superman but would it build on Kingdom Come or be a new separate project?
And in between those two conversations there will be the box office prediction discourse. ;)
The claim by some is that WB is embarrassed by Superman. Whatever the case the people assigned to do his films have been uninspiring. Don't forget Bryan Singer's very forgettable Superman Returns.
...
I think you're correct on this. Gunn and Snyder unfortunately don't seem to have been lifelong Superman fans. And Supes ends up with the short end of the stick. Snyder's crazy deconstruction of the...
True about MOS. It was set to be huge, and audiences turned out in droves. The actual film did not live up to the promise of the trailers/hype and that falls on Snyder and Goyer. And WB. Smallville...
This is true. There was huge positive buzz going into MOS and the trailers were solid. Cavill had captured hearts as the new Superman. The opening weekend numbers were great and box office sites were...
ITA. Superman needs to do better than MOS's 668 million. At that MOS underperformed expectations. We will never hear the end of it from a segment of the Snyder bros if Superman doesn't beat MOS at...
It better not end up at 363 million all told. Using the 2.5 multiplier that means Superman would have to make 900 million to break even. At 300 million total Superman needs to make 750 million to...
True, but the lack of a big-name star (so far) will hurt the film. Cast Stallone as Perry and yup some would go just to see that.
Wendell Pierce is Perry White. Another B/C list actor. This film runs the risk of having no big-name draw. I've seen his work. Good actor but not a draw.
Wendell Pierce is Perry White
So what is Superman's budget? Gunn denied the 368 million claim and I'd tend to believe him. The cast, sans Brosnahan and Hoult, are all C list and come cheap. The film is non-epic or so it seems...
Why? Because the film is launching the DCU. And most of these characters will get projects announced - likely very shortly per what Zaslav said. They will get introduction scenes - you can't just...
Exactly - at some point it ceases to be a Superman film and becomes an ensemble film featuring Superman. The name change was likely partly due to this as Legacy implies characters that follow...
Gunn/WBD need to build hype for the film to overcome the doubts. The name change was spot on. Corenswet starts tweeting and this which is cute. Looks like they're taking my advice :p
Is that Lois...
Many are saying this was a PR move and I agree. A good PR move by Gunn. The old title put the focus on "legacy" which some took to mean the existing DCU heroes (like Hawkgirl and the other 5 in SL)...
Nicholas Hoult will be doing an Inside of You interview with Michael Rosenbaum. The interview is coming up "soon". Hoult was my preference for Superman but he will nail it as Lex and hopefully will...
Interesting turn of events. Dan Lin who came very close to being named head of DC Studios just became head of Netflix's film division. The deal with WBD broke down as Lin didn't want to step away...
Whatever Gunn's attitude towards Superman is, his vision of an established DCU precludes a Superman centric film. Yes, Superman is the first film, but it is as much a DCU showcase film as a Superman...
No date stamps on your comments but I'll take you at your word :p - you more or less nailed it. Only miss was assuming they would be cameos which Gunn has clarified they won't (just) be. My guess is...
Sad. So young. He was very good in the role. Gilbert Gottfried - Toyman in the Superboy series, passed away a few years ago. Gilbert's version was the first live action portrayal of Toyman though WB...
Milly Alcock shares plans for upcoming DCU projects.
When she was questioned about her role she said that there would be something fresh and new in the film as well as to her character. She...
It's possible but then I'd expect them to move away from the trunks as well. MOS broke with the classic suit and, aside from being too dark, the suit worked.
Fair enough but it begs the question why did Gunn include all the non-Superman family characters in SL? The answer is obvious but for some and to paraphrase Lex's comment about Otis and Miss T - they...
This is what Gunn said last year after this year denying the public domain issue had any influence on SL.
QUESTION: "This is kind of a long-term question, but I mean, Superman is going to be...
Batman moved to the top in the 90s. The Death of storyline made Superman comic sales huge but a few years later those sales drifted down and never recovered consistent top 20 status. The numbers have...
