      Apparently Brando read cue cards in most of his films. He liked his performances to feel genuine instead of rehearsed. Brando got away with murder on Superman. He shot his scenes in a few days and he read from cue cards and he got paid millions of dollars and he received top billing for Superman, also he had casting approval. He decided who would be in the movie! Last but not least, he even received a high percentage of the gross profits for the film’s box office take. He was only in the movie for ten minutes or so. Brando was a legend and Richard Donner held him in the highest regard.

    That's gold.
    Donner was the grandfather of both the MCU and DC on film. With _Superman,_ Donner didn't just define the superhero film genre - translating a then-disposable childrens medium to screen - he made the _great American film._
    Name another film that goes from pseudo-Shakespearean stage theater with Brando, to apocalyptic sci-fi disaster movie, to John Ford-esque domestic drama, to Screwball Comedy, to Romance, to Action movie, to Greek tragedy. And through it all, Donner is telling us a story of the power of empathy. And that empathy is the common thread that defines the best of our popular culture today.

He was paid a lot of money for very little work. I like the movie, by the way, yet let's not fabricate what Brando thought about working on the film.

Brando was great when he did not phone it in. He added very small details to characters, but really impact how the character was portrayed. Like Vito Corleone playing with a cat, adding the rasping sound, etc. But if he don't care, he was like this. Read some lines and take the money.
