It's being discussed in the DC Universe thread. Looks like they are getting closer on casting the main roles.

The two I wanted to see. Maybe Hoult can play Lex Luthor.

Hoult is reportedly on the short list for James Bond. Here in the UK they are saying they are holding off announcement till the writers strike is done

He would make a very poor Bond in my opinion.

Yeah, I kind off see it and kind off don't. He's got maybe a too much "babyface" face.

Here in the UK they are bouncing around a lot of ideas. One idea is a younger, fresher Bond. Hault is 33. Aaron Taylor-Johnson also tested well but the latest report had him saying he wanted his wife to direct all the Bond movies he would appear. He has denied this but this is not the first time he has made such request. Henry Cavill is the name that keep coming up for Bond.

Confirmed by James Gunn:

I've only seen him in Pearl and We Own This City. Solid in both. Definitely has the look.

She's great.

Seems like a pair of very good, promising choices.

 

[MadDevil]

Haven't seen Corenswet in anything but he kind of looks like a cross between Cavill and Welling, so he's definitely got the look.

 

[StreetHawk]

I liked Cavill as Superman, but given that they have Gunn taking over, recasting allows him a longer run with the Superman character. In the end for DC, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman are your big trio and everyone else falls under that. Start with the core group then build the characters around them.

Silver age silliness. Saving children. Lex already bald and seething with hate for Superman.

This might be peak

Saw the trailer before Sonic 3 tonight, it left me and the kid intrigued

 

[Seedtype]

Looks like they got the right balance this time. Reminds me of the 90's animated series(my favorite version of Superman).

I'm still kinda done with superhero movies after Endgame though.
