The heavy rumors is that Reed and Sue will already have kid in the movie, so they wouldn't be "that" young but not necessarily older.

DC is getting rebooted, James Gunn has confirmed it.
If they have a kid then that would change thingsZ. As far as I can recall I don’t think Blunt has ever been in a sequel movie that she starred in. Same with Krasinksi. Think these 2 are more fans personal choices. But up to Marvel where they want to go. But F4 is a key property and they need to nail it.

As for DC, have no choice but to reboot. It’s just a total mess right now.

Rewatched Man of Steel (2013) late last night. Honestly never understood the criticisms of this one. What didn't people like. Zod had believable motivations, the backstory and lore of Krypton was super cool, Clark's character arc made a lot of sense, and I really liked how the first half of the movie was centered around how humanity would respond to a Superman coming from another planet. The back half was a little too much CGI fighting and blue beams of death light destroying everything but no major complaints outside of that.

8/10 superhero movie for me

It was decent, and the best of the DC movies in my eyes.... but no way in hell does a real Jonathon Kent tell Clark "maybe you should have let them die" after he saves the schoolbus and the resulting fallout.

I liked how the portrayed how beings like the Kryptonians would actually fight and look to us, the speed, the blurs, etc.

People over reacted to that line. I saw it as a thinking out loud sort of moment that he said half heartedly, as if to acknowledge that even as he said it he knew it was ridiculous. But even so the reasoning behind him saying it would make some sort of sense, letting the world know that a godly man has arrived on planet earth would be a radical change for the world. The implications of that would shatter everything we previously thought about ourselves and the universe.

Born in 1993, so 30 in 2023. 6'4 is his listed height. Basically the same age as Cavill was when he signed on. His first Superman movie was released in 2013 and Henry was born in 1983.

He looks the part and is the right age. I just hope they cast an American in the role. I think Brosnahan looks like a natural fit also. She's a touch older but not enough to be an issue. I'm indifferent on Hoult.

Superman actor seems fine. Never seen his work. Looks the part and seems to have a build to pack on muscle.
Lois Lane - never seen her work. Lane is supposed to be a go getter, career oriented reporter. She seems fine.
Luthor - actor seems too young. Probably seen his work as a much younger actor, but I always figure Luthor to be about a decade older than Superman. So, if Superman is supposed to be late 20's then Luthor would be mid to late 30's. Luthor has super intelligent, so he'd finish business school earlier, but still, figure it would still take time to build his mass wealth and influence.

I wish there was some way they can work Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor into the James Gunn DC universe with the re-shuffling of the universes in the Flash.

He's IMO the best live-action Lex, has worked with Gunn before (in GOTG), and his age and looks fit in with a 30 year old Superman.

New Superman is David Corenswet. I dont love this first image, honestly thought it was Cavill at first glance, it looks doom and gloomy like the Synderverse and I want a bright, colorful and happy smiling Superman...

If this was a preview for a new CW show, I would pass.
The benefit of the doubt I guess, but so far it's:

I know it's just a poster but so happy to see it full of color and the music is hopeful. Teaser trailer is coming out Thursday, hoping for all the doom and gloom and gray from the last bunch of movies involving Superman to be gone

Nice

July 2025 release though... So far.

Not really, just over 6 months probably. That'll be here before you even know it!


Honestly I've always preferred Marvel to DC, but I do wonder how much of that is simply a product of the MCU running circles on the DCU for years.

Definitely believe there's a world where DC is capable of releasing banger after banger like the run Marvel was on from ~2012-2019 when the Infinity War movies released.


I'd also have trust in Gunn to put together some good quality stuff. Should be really interesting to see how it plays out.

Is this a start of a complete reboot? Hope so.
More or less. Looks like a few things will crossover like a lot of the Peacemaker season 1 and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller. I think James Gunn has said that Season 2 of Peacemaker will come up with some nonsense explanation as to why Zach Synder's Justice League was around and then we can all move on until the next reboot, which in the spirit of DC comics will probably be 5-7 years.

Yeah...as crazy as all that is, it's needed. DC has been a mess. I assume The Batman II will be separate and they'll eventually cast a new Batman to be involved in this.

Knew I recognized the Lois Lane from somewhere. She was in House of Cards.

DC and Marvel should just crossover at this point. Both sides are crazy stale.
