James Gunn (Co-CEO of DC Studios) returns to the pod this week to talk about his takeover of the new DC content slate, the differences between DC and Marvel, and all the pressure that comes with creating a new Superman film. James goes back and discusses the impact that creating Guardians of the Galaxy had on his career and how ‘allowing himself to give a s***’ was a large catalyst to its success. We also talk about embarrassing Chris Pratt moments, whether or not there are too many superhero films, and the future of Superman’s bald headed villain.

JAMES GUNN Addresses SUPERMAN Rumors and Talks About the Pressures of the Franchise #insideofyou #jamesgunn #superman - Розваги
"Promise me that he'll have gravitas"
I love it when actors and directors understand their characters.
Talk about taking a dig at Jesse Eisenberg, the worst Lex Luthor to grace our screens!!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@davidsr9719 True, and to be honest Rosenbaum is the Lex we have ever got.
Respected and charismatic
@@davidsr9719 That’s true, but it’s not really his fault. He was capturing Zack Snyder’s vision for the character in his own very bizarre way kind of like Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker-very hard to watch but coming from a sincere place.
@@KonohasYeIlowFlashAnd Zack was capturing the character from the comics...which y'all don't read.
@@WhatsBigginThe Post-Crisis version of Lex, Pre-Crisis Lex, New 52 Lex, which version of Lex from the comics? He’s been around and reinterpreted for nearly 100 years. Frankly I’ve never seen the type of Lex that Eisenberg played in the pages of All-Star Superman, Public Enemies, Kingdom Come, or Infinite Crisis to name a few. With a vague answer like yours I can’t help but wonder if you know what you’re talking about. Basically, name the comic where Lex Luthor behaves the way Eisenberg did.
Superman is not burdened with a grim responsibility to help another species. He's is just a man from Kansas who loves helping people (and has the ability to).
😂😂😂
Yeah leave the darkness for batman. superman is the opposite of darkness
@@frsrs9189 I always loved how Christopher Reeve’s superman would save people with a smile and a twinkle in his eye, like he was happy to have the chance
@@micomator he’s an alien, who smiles so much like that, u in real life would find that weird whether he said a zinger or not…..
@@GlockAndARock I didn’t know you watch super man movies to imitate reality.
These movies are fantastical it’s happened to the imagination.
You should feel really good about yourself when you walk out of the superman movie.
After that, you can worry about reality.
It’s soooo heartfelt and heartwarming when someone who respect and understand the source material talking about their passion. It is rare nowadays
snyder didn't respect the character and that's why he took it upon himself to try to reinvent the character.
@@SuCKeRPunCH187Man of Steel still lead potential to lead somewhere. Him always talking about the movie ending where a Superman one would start left me with so much hope. Man was is misplaced.
@@SuCKeRPunCH187He didn't like Superman comics they had no killing or obscenity
Gunn don’t understand the source material….at all.
But Gunn doesn't understand the source material though.
I love that Michael fights for a solid Lex in the movie even when he won’t be that Lex because he’s Smallville’s Lex from a different place and time. I love that he respects his character and wants to protect him. It showed in your work, Michael. We felt it.
I didn't even see much Smallville, but in the few episodes I did see I genuinely loved Michael's Lex. Super cool and charismatic, as Lex should be. He probably *is* the best live-action Lex Luthor there's been.
Idk Kevin spacey was pretty damn good
Smallville in general is GREAT, fills out so much Superman lore!
you should watch season 4 and 5 smallville where Lex Luthor shine more than the Superman, so much i thought the shown was about Lex Luthor origin then Superman origin.
Gene Hackman was the best
Michael and Gene Hackman were the best. And Michael was clearly talking about Jesse Eisenberg.
I've said a thousand times Superman has the power to do anything, yet he can't save everyone, but he never stops trying. I'm glad that James Gunn gets it.
MIchael is 100% the best Lex. by season 10 you can't help but grieve for these two friends who are standing on different sides of the same war. Michael played Lex with vulnerability and conviction. You watch Lex and clark grow up and it's absolutely heartbreaking when the line gets drawn in the sand.
He killed as Wally west too
He was better as Wally West. Clancy Brown is the best Lex hands down
the Lex line that we love and will never forget....."I am the villain of the story"
*Clancy Brown has entered the chat*
@@grrayfox2300 we are talking about live action not animation.
the most diplomatic way to say: "don't get another eisenberg"
He has more patience then me😂, I would have blasted snyder dumb take
BvS is masterpiece lol
@@geert574 keep watching the same movie againa and again and you will end up saying that😂
@@geert574 do you look at trash and say the same thing? Cause thats what the snyderverse was
@@geert574one of the worst movies ever made lol
I think he would have been a good Star Lord. Didn't know he tried out for that. And yes...he is the best Lex. Even though this movie wouldn't be Smallville Superman movie.....it would be cool if he still played Lex.
It's sort of be cool to sneak it in, but the same with stuff like JK Simmons being JJ Jonahson again or Mufasa only having been played by James Earl... it just feels kind of creatively bankrupt. The worst thing this movie could do, aside from just being bad, would be to make you think of Superman 2 or Smallville or anything other than the film you're watching.
i always liked gene as lex .. that said ive never watched much of the smallville series so i cant comment on Rosenbaulm's performance
Sorry mate but you're wrong. The best Lex is Gene Hackman.
They should go one step further and do a cameo him as the Flash. Now that would be AWESOME!!!
@@tgwaste Definitely between those 2 no doubt. Both superb as Lex.
Even if Rosenbaum wont be cast as Lex for Gunns DC verse, I can guarantee that his Lex will be the blueprint for which Gunn bases his Lex off of.
James seemed pretty legit in calling Rosenbaum's Lex the best, which gives me confidence he understands the character and if he has a Lex, his Lex will be right.
Or, you know, a decent version of the character.
Nicholas Hoult is pretty perfect.
Its crazy how good Mike was as lex, he had so much presence about him, which is very hard to find at his age when played Lex
Best Lex and best Flash
Who’s Mike?
@@Justusson Micheal!
And he played it so well that you thought he was going to be saved, but you know he's doomed to be the villain
I think the best lex Luther was in the animated series..if they can bring that kind of a presence in a movie that would be awesome 👌
Agree
Michael could bring that
Easily the best Lex Luthor. He was one of the best parts of Smallville. His relationship with Clark carried the show.
Jonathan Kent was the one carried the show until season 5
@@lilbigfan3782 He was great too for sure.
I dig this channel because it goes beyond the content and explores the ups and downs of navigating the business of filmmaking.
If you actually believe all these companies are discussing live business terms like who's bought spider man or superman YOUR CLEARY TRAPPED IN THE ELITES WEB WHO WANT YOU TO B PROGRAMMED BY ALL THE NONSENSE IN THE WORLD SOO YOU DO not ACHIEVE ACTUAL GREATNESS
As a massive Superman fan this is the most excited I’ve ever been for a movie in my life
The biggest problem with the casting of Superman for his project is he'll have a target on his back the moment he signs on. Henry Cavill was genuinely an amazing Superman and fans loved him and then he got screwed over by the WB studio. The next guy is going to have to follow THAT and will come with baggage that's not his fault the moment he signs on.
People will still be bitter over how a truly amazing Superman was dumped by the studio and will take that out on the next guy.
look Henry Cavill wasn't given a fair shake as Superman his take was dark and broody which was not the Superman a whole lot of people wanted to see and that has been the version of Superman that we had with all the Snyderverse movies all the blame goes to Zack Snyder here as he wanted to make a Batman movie but he was dumped with Superman so he turned Superman in to a pseudo Batman instead.What James Gunn is talking about here is that he wanted to deliver a close to perfect portrayal of Superman and your right whomever he chooses will be compared non stop to Henry Cavill up until the movie comes out but I really hope he delivers on that promise.
Henry Cavill wasn't an amazing Superman because he wasn't even allowed to play Superman. He was closer to Doctor Manhattan or even Lex Luthor
The main point I’m making is he was liked by the fans and did a decent job playing the man of steel but got screwed over by WB execs and the next guy is gonna have to deal with that baggage. I see the other POVs though
Yes, but it's not like that is new. Robert Pattison got similar criticism when he was cast as Batman cause all people could see in their head was the Twilight character was going to be Batman, not the actor. You're right that the criticism of whomever they pick to play Superman won't be fair, but the way you counter it is to do the job well by staying true to the character while also making it uniquely their version. If you play the character well, the criticism instantly goes away.
Whatever the reasons were, whether it was due to a lack of charisma from the actor, or because of the poor writing and direction. The fact is, that to most people, Henry Cavill's Superman, has not set a high bar to beat. Most people don't even regard that as a genuine incarnation of the Superman character. Therefore, so long as the casting, writing and direction are all on the same page of wanting to genuinely do the character justice, whoever they cast, doesn't have to do all that much to deliver a more authentic portrayal. Now, if they were aiming for improving upon Christopher Reeve's performance, that would be something else altogether, a much harder challenge to overcome.
I really hope this new Superman film is a great success. Gunn is a fantastic director and an amazing human being; I have a lot of faith in his creative direction and his love for the comic book medium.
There is always a right time for things to come into existence and now seems to be the time to let SUPERMAN be reborn.
Yeah ppl forgot the last stinker mos
No
@@Flowersoo473 ok LOL!
I think a reprise as Lex in a newly set Universe should be possible - if not maybe a multiverse Lex in the future. That would be wicked
He would actually be more age appropriate & look better now then when he first played the role
More multiverse crap!! Woohoo!!!
@@DeRussellMasina exactly, the age and looks is right, they better take advantage of it because it will be such a waste of potential and opportunity. If the cast Micheal as lex, they already have me bought 10 tickets to the movie!
😂 no
Im glad rosenbaulm made sure to install the fact that lex has to be ruthless and serious and the little jab at snyderverse lex was brilliant, you are the best live action lex luthor Michael only clancy brown is better.
I know Snyderverse cultists will jump on this but for the record James and Michael were more referring to Gene Hackman’s lex with there digs. Someone who Gunn has been outspoken in past as not liking.
I don't thing Jesse Eisenberg read a single Superman comic to prepare for the role, He was just awful.
@@Jones25ful gene was far better than the rubbish jessie /snyder verse lex every day of the week .. synder's was stupid crazy lex which isnt lex .. lex needs to be super smart ruthless and serious !!
@@GESSO217 he did what the director asked him to do
Hack snyder knows nothing about actual.superman 🤣
Michael Rosenbaum was also the best Flash in the DCAU. I'd love to see him as an older Wally West in live action.
I always liked how the DCAU couldn’t fit in every version of the flash, so they took the best traits from all of them and made that Wally’s character. While being a great character, he also feels like a tribute to every flash that came before him
Dude was the flash and the writing was the best you could get.
Michael’s take on Lex was incredible! You absolutely felt that longing of Lex earlier on to be like Clark, to have the love and support of his parents, the love and adoration of Launa, and the betrayal he felt when he found out Clark’s secret, which led to his decent into the villain he becomes. Michael truly is my favorite Lex, both animated and Live action. It’s also funny the subtle shots towards Jesse Eisenberg’s lex. Lol. I don’t think he’s a bad actor, he just played the role in a much different take than I think most people expected or wanted.
Everyone who wants to know for sure if Lex is in the script or has already been cast, watch James' body and eye movements at 4:14 vs. how he was the entire clip
As long as it's not Jesse Eisenberg I'll be happy. His portrayal as Lex was just awful. Acted more like the Joker than Lex Luthor.
The Joker mixed with the Riddler mixed with Jesse Eisenberg.
Ehh, it’s still early in the project and probably doesn’t want to give ANYTHING away. I’m sure he is, but probably doesn’t want to say yes or no.
@@THEremiXFACTOR more like grade B Riddle comes from weirdo multiverse because he looks like a kid who just finished school against Superman who already Old enough to be his father.
Michael as Lex on an actual movie would be epic!
Just take him! He’s right there, James!
@@bigmoviefreak yes, but why does no one ever think Billy Zane would be an incredible Lex? Everyone rolls their eyes at me when I say that
@@dashikibraxton5537I wanted Billy Zane as the BvS movie Lex long before I saw a Jeremy Jahn video, ranting on the announcement of Jesse Eisenberg being cast as Lex lol (Which I agree. I hate his Lex)
If you'd to watch any of Billy Interviews. That dude sounds and looks like Clancy Brown's Lex which is badass! He would be an awesome Lex for the Gunnverse. No eyes rolling over here😂
The shot at Jesse Eisenberg Lex is spot on 🤣🤣 I always said he played the Riddler but not Lex
Riddler, mad hatter vibes
@@Alex-l1j7y Right. Nothing close to Lex.
Looking forward to see what he does with DC. Sure it wont all be great but i think James is perfect for the job and truly has a passion for this.
I keep getting more and more relieved and hopeful for the Gunnverse....
Micheal! You are the best Lex ever! The reason I was so much invested in the show was because of you and Tom.
Gunn NEEDS to hire you for Lex because you are easily still the best live action depiction. We need to see you finally face off with Supes as full form Lex.
The look Michael had on his face was like… “could I be your Lex?” Then back to reality, “but not your movie” lol.
“the Batman” (Matt Reeves) perfectly captured the idea of HOPE personified in a superhero movie. and you don’t normally associate HOPE with Batman
HOPE in snyder’s Man of Steel was cynical, self indulgent, and clumsy.
🤣
I was really surprised by Robert Patterson in that film.
Im scared of snyderman .hope my azz
Michael's take on lex is the very best sijce gene Hackman's original performance. Michael brought a special something to that character not only becsue of having 6 seasons to do it in, but he embodied the character in a way no one else ever has and as far as I'm concerned never will.
All I ask is that Routh be given a role. It doesn’t have to be Jor-El or Perry or something, still too young for Jonathan (imo), but just a nod to a changing of the guard.
And I haven’t watched it yet, but Cudlitz as Luthor? Just think about it!
Mike did great on any number of military characters, overshadowed the titular “Clarice”, which was quietly cancelled by cbs, and was willing to go “dolphin smooth” for S&L, and he’d do a great Lex on the big screen, too.
He can actually be Jor-El tbh. I wouldn’t say Jonathan because he looks to much like Clark. But Routh can play Jonathan Kent. Since the Kent’s have gotten Clark in their 30s
I wonder if he will announce the cast for the superman during San Diego comic con next month. If not then it would be on UA-cams DC you tube channel.
There for sure announcing it on comic con
Depends on if the WGA strike is still ongoing.
I’ve already heard a few people backing out of SDCC appearances in order to support WGA, knowing full well that it may hurt their promoted project in the long run.
Even Marvel is pushing some of their schedule back because of the current strike.
(Including Blade. Again.)
Michael's Lex is like Robert's Tony Stark, Hugh's Wolverine and Keanu's John Wick.
You were the best Lex, good interview
Lmaoo the shots at Jessie Eisenbergs take on Lex Luther was hilarious 😂😂😂🤣🤣 Michael was and still is the best Lex Luther PERIOD
Rosenbaum is the best Lex. In my head canon, Eisenberg is Alexander Luther from Earth 3.
There were so many scenes that were cringe with JE, but the one in the cell was like such a facepalm, like wth hell were they thinking...
@@zs5390 it was just HORRIBLE the take on lex in BvS that’s the film I knock Zach Snyder on that movie was a mess
If Michael Rosenbaum doesn't make at least a cameo in the Superman movies, that would be a crime.
Highly likely given that Gunn and Rosenbaum are good friends.
Looking forward to the Gunnverse.
"A crime" really? Do you really think that? I'd like a Superman movie with ZERO cameos. None. Not a single one. Something absolutely fresh.
Who I'm kidding? It's Gunn.
This man has gave me every reason to trust him!! I fully believe that he will nail superman!!!
I wasn't a fan of Smallville for several reasons but for the 1 1/2 seasons that I did watch Michael's Lex Luthor was easily my favorite character on the show.
You should be The Question in this new DCU. You would be brilliant in a noir role.
I want that to happen so badly
Good choice!
I read that Gunn’s style will be influenced by the DCAU, which I would love since I feel that is one of the best interpretations of the characters
They should’ve got it right the first time, I do not like the aesthetic of the cartoons, what they had with the sunder universe was visually impressive, now they just soiled all over themselves and rebooting everything, what a disaster
@@SeFu2006yea snyder is good visually but that’s about it
@@Web_Of_Venom_777 Scream Queens was created by Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuck. James Gunn had nothing to do with it
If he does justice to All-Star Superman, everyone is for the best Superman movie ever
Yeah... but it's kinda weird to start a new Superman based on this material (if you know what I mean)
the inspirations are all star, birthright and superman:brainiac
Remember this interview feels like it came out yesterday
What I hope about Superman is making a well written story cause I think a good story is there but often directors get caught up on showing off his powers.
I love Gunn. I love that he’s so excited and confident about this world he’s building. DC fans we’re in good hands!
I KNOW R!GHT, LOOK WHAT
HE D!D W!TH PEACEMAKER
I D!DN'T L!KE THE DANCE
0FF INTRODUCT!ON BUT
THE SER!ES I F👀K!NG
LOVE !T...
Love at the end how you pointed out how the last "Lex" acted more like the Joker than Lex Luthor.
That's not who they were talking about
That’s exactly who they were talking about. Who else?
Michael Rosenbaum and John Shea are two of my favorite Lex Luther's of all time. That said, I'm just looking forward to whatever James Gunn creates with Superman. And he's right, if I was auditioning for a role that big, I wouldn't want the world to know. It is private. Because then you become known as the "guy who didn't get it." The internet, and specifically journalists and certain fans, need to stop trying to "leak" a film. It's not conducive to the creative process.
That Jesse Eisenberg roast at the end was “subtle” 😂
Agreed Michael is the best Lex. Human, intelligent, and with real motivations that simply differ at times from Clark/Superman.
I for one cant wait to see Gunns universe, and yes you are the best Lex. I didnt watch all of Smallville but I know from clips and the seasons I did see that Rosenbaum is a severely underrated actor and deserves all the love from the DC Fans that he gets
Michael is indeed my favorite as well as the best, but I feel like I’m one of the few that actually liked John Cryer’s take. Perfect balance between Michael and Eisenberg for sure
As a Superman fan, and Henry Cavill fan, I’m excited for this new movie!
I'm not
Henry should have one last Superman movie
If he puts as much heart into this movie as he did GG3 then it will be the best Superman movie to come out.
Also let’s chill on Lex until the sequel or third film. Superman has tons of great villains that need screen time.
Please make superman great again. Superman doesn't get sneaked up on. He doesn't just slug it out. When battling an unknown foe, he is analyze, scanning it DNA, studying it's mood and temperament. Everything he touches on Earth is like cardboard, he daintily opens door knob. His Fortress of Solitude helps block out the noise of the world so he can have moments of quiet rest. I think James Gunn can pull it off and Yes' Rosenbaum played the best Lex so far.
Glad to see someone who knows superman
I wonder if Michael has asked Gunn lowkey if we'll see that Smallville animated series get the greenlight or if Welling will be Superman suit and all in either SV's universe later on again or in say Pattinson's universe which Welling did say in an interview in 2021 that he'd be willing to be that universe's Superman. That would be cool.
James Gunn is correct in saying Rosenbum is the BEST Lex Luthor! He is absolutely right hell yeah! That iteration of Smallville Lex is the BEST i've seen so far! Michael was born to play that role! 💯
Huh he’s the only one that played lex lol
I think smallville had the best storyline regarding Superman and lex from friends to arch enemies.
I just want someone who plays Clark as well as Superman. And something (leading up) to Brainiac but starting small. Not too much into the origins.
hahaha ... I love "Hey, I'm mot saying anybody's done that" at the end.... we know who you meant, Michael....we know ;)
Definitely the best Lex
I am not excited for this movie and yet I am 100% confident I will enjoy this movie.
That last point about Lex Luthor was on point. Jesse Eisenberg was not the right choice for that character at all
That was some low-key dissing of Jesse Eisenberg at the end.
Ppl are b*tching that James Gunn rebooted the DCU. Its not his fault. Warner Bros butchered the DCEU miserably. This was a wise choice to start with a reboot.
Hes doing the RIGHT thing.
Ending the divisive series because its going nowhere and its toxicity.
The DCEU dies so the DCU can start fresh without any baggage
Hack snyder ruined dc
Im really exited for superman legacy
Its DC's turn to take over the superhero genre after marvel fell off
I’m so happy Gunn is doing Superman. It’s gonna be so good
out of all live action lex,you are the best and it would be hard to argue it
Im just happy the dceu is being rebooted. I've been wanting a clean slate for years, a new more comic booky take on it that actually feels like a universe.
it probably won't be a clean slate, i keep hearing of a soft reboot.
Snyders movies felt like a universe
Same until James gunn was announced as CEO I was ready to just not give a crap anymore, and it got even better when he said he's doing a reboot which is what I wanted to happen ever since Justice League Flopped. After that I was 100% on board he's a comic book fan so big he can really dig down to find those deep cut charachters that he wants spotlighted which is the kind of guy who SHOULD be running DC's movies.
@@dcmastermindfirst9418of toilet
@@Cloud-dt6xbi was waiting for reboot since MoS 🤣
They threw so much shade at Jesse Eisenberg at the end there! LMFAO
100% best Lex Luthor. I wish to see you in this role once again. You were beloved as much as Clark in this series. May be even more. Gunn should take you in his film may be as another cool villain. Do you hear me, James?
yap you are right !
That last comment was definitely about Zack’s Lex 😂
I hope it’s Superman as a family man. Dc rebirth had a good run of comics as him as a father. It would definitely be different from what we had before. Either way I’m excited to see what they do with it.
He already said that it's going to be teenage superman, I highly doubt that Clark Kent fathered any children in his teens.
@@undeaddave9671Nah more like a year two Clark who’s in his mid to late twenties.
It's already being done in the Superman & Lois TV series 😅
@@undeaddave9671 I hope he changes his mind.
Jesse eisenburg’s Lex Luther. Maybe is who he’s referring to.
Im thinking Nickolas Hoult for lex, couldn't see it at first, but having recently seen a few more of his films i really think the guy could play it grounded like Michael said, plus he looks great bald. Would work well across someone like corenswet as superman.
Hoult would honestly be the closest to rosenbaums lex which ppl love and many think is the best live action lex
Good casting
Aaron Paul?
@@Njbear7453 yeah he'd be good too, need someone smart and charismatic to pull him off I think, also I wanna see a more physical lex, powersuit at some point as well 👊

Gunn was spot on. Michael's the best Lex till this day.
If we're getting a new superman, I'd like to see a few stand alone movies before they try and do a joint movie.. that's the one thing I feel bad about cavils superman.. that he got one movie then batman v superman then justice league..
Nope he got one stinker solo movie which had no depth or character or development and then another stinker duet where he has less lines than spidey in civil war .truly the worst superman on screen .

@@Wolfhunter5607 ppl who simp for cavil and have no idea who superman only likes that version
I love the remarks at the end that are clearly a call out of Kevin Spacey’s over the top/manic moments as Lex Luther
Gunn should adapt the Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow comic by Alan Moore, it seems perfect for his style.
Probably down the line would be better. Doing that right away would almost be like doing the Death of Superman story right away like Zack Snyder did with his take.
@@ShaddoxChaossnyder did death of superman ? Lol he did cringe fanfiction
You can tell michael is very protective over lex luthor when he asks James Gunn to do lex right. Because Michael is the only one who has nailed the character. I hope the new lex takes inspiration from his. And makes him a lot more serious and threatening. But also logical
You are the best Lex. Sorry Gene.
I really appreciate his take on casting leaks; as an audience member, i like being surprised
The worst Lex ever was the one in BvS. He acted more like Jim carrey's riddler than Lex and it was just awful.
I heard that the actor that played lex originally auditioned for jimmy olsen funny enough
It’s true, he’s the best Lex to have ever worn the skull cap.
"Promise me IF there's a Lex Luthor, promise me he's not....Jesse Eiesenberg!"
I doubt he can make a Superman movie better then man of steel but hey maybe he’ll prove me wrong…I always liked the darker tone snyders films had
I think we all know that Smallville was a masterpiece
Dude you ARE THE BEST LEX. No hate towards other actors but you fucking killed that role and gave it so much more life then other characters. You plus the set up made magic happen
Some (maybe a lot) of the criticism against Henry Cavill was unfair. They suited him in leather, they dimmed his yellow and red crest, they air brushed his muscles to a near plastic look, they blue-lensed the movie, they took away his naivety and humility, they added a weak script, and they made him invulnerable to his earthly environment.
That's a radical departure from all the things we loved about Christopher Reeve in SUPERMAN (1978).
I'll go a bit further and say that not only is Rosembaum the best Lex, he's one of the best supervillains on film, up their with Ledger's Joker and Hiddleston's Loki
They had the perfect Superman, Cavell and they just said "naah it is fine, let's get somebody risky!"
Cavill sunk his own ship by getting involved with The Rock and doing an end around leadership to appear in Black Adam.
Yup.
Cavill wasn’t a perfect Superman though, he looked the part but what Zack did with him killing him off in his second film which itself was bizarre, this is a fresh new take with a younger Superman with no connections to the the shitty Superman arc Cavill sadly had, it’s time we moved on, and support his warhammer series
@@gdog5798 so he's still perfect Superman then since its not his fault?! 😕😕 he look the part,he can act,and in snydercut is literally classic Superman
@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 it’s not really the perfect Superman, his version was ehh, it’s the best Superman on film but his films are kinda shit, I would rather we just get a fresh face and new metropolis with his core main characters like Jimmy Olsen involved in the film
Niice 👌KEEP CRUSHING Michael!

No. Its not happening
@@jojoalcide377 here my reply to you 🖕🖕
No. The Snyderverse was a dark brooding mess where every character was dark and brooding including ones that are not supposed to be.
Lord no
We want Cavill back
For more cringe
