Honestly, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen is such a perfect casting that I can already tell he's going to be an absolute highlight for the movie; the guy just resonates with Jimmy Olsen's charm. I really hope they one day give us a Jimmy Olsen special or something that adapts the Matt Fraction run. Im just happy Jimmy Olsen is being used again in a Superman movie since we haven't seen him ever since 2007 (and no I am not counting BvS Jimmy, if you can even call him Jimmy Olsen). Jimmy Olsen is the guy who reminds Superman what he stands for, just a normal guy who chooses to see the world through a brighter lense

For as little screen time as he got in comparison to the rest, I loved Max in The Quarry. He’s funny, silly, and an all around lovable guy you’d wanna be friends with. He’s without a doubt in my mind the perfect casting for Jimmy Olsen
10:12 you missed out ma and pa Kent. James definitely won't be forgetting those, especially when he's taking strong inspiration from Superman of all seasons.
We've seen in James Gunn's Marvel and DC work so far that he likes to paint with all the colors. It's not surprising to find happy, sad, silly, serious, grounded, and meta all in one movie. The casting for Jimmy allows him to bring in a little of the wacky Silver Age stories Matt Fraction played with in that recent comic limited series.
I’m so glad he got the role, he’s genuinely been my pick for some years now. I’d always thought that he looks exactly how I pictured Jimmy Olsen, despite not having seen a lot of his work.
As far as the rest of casting goes, we know 100% we’re getting Jimmy, and Gunn answered an insta comment about Steve Lombard and Cat Grant with a winky face. I also think we’ll get like 1-3 more Authority members but not the whole team, and with the emphasis of Clark’s heritage on the story, they will probably cast the Kents, and possibly Jor-El and Lara. But after that, it’ll probably be it aside from small cameos or whatever
Love Mads but he's played too many villains. I hope they go in a different direction, a more inspired choice. But yeah, this Jimmy Olson casting is just perfect.
Considering they apparently have lots of old "superman's friend, Jimmy Olsen" comics up on the wall of one of the production offices (James Gunn posted an image of it) I'd love if they reference some of Jimmy's more absurd adventures.
He could spawn his own spin-off show potentially for Max even, that’d be great. Have Clark and Lois as recurring side characters, and the other Daily Planet employees as main characters.
Despite her never saying a single line, Mercy Graves in Young Justice steals every scene she's in, that show really won me over to the character but I actually like her the most as a green arrow villain.
Jimmy Olsen just as a character he reminds of flash Thompson in a sense where they would always defend spider man and superman no matter the circumstances
Thoughts on James Gunn announcing that he is going to use Eve Teschmacher instead of Mercy Graves because I have never really liked Eve Teschmacher in the comics. She was an original creation for the Richard Donner Superman film similar to how Mercy Graves was an original creation for Superman The Animated Series but I always thought Mercy was significantly better and more interesting.
Skyler seems like an excellent choice for Jimmy Olsen; my only discrepancy is that I can't help but feel that the ages between Clark and Jimmy should be farther apart (anywhere between 5-9 years works), and it might be harder to see that when both actors are less than three years apart from each other.
Obligatory Skyler Gisondo shoutout for his performance in The Resort -- I hope his ability to be an authentic normie when things are decidedly not normal translates to the DCU.
steve guttentberg i think he would make a great jimmy olsen and i think candace camerson bure could be awesome super girl and dan aykroyd as perry white and and the villain brainiac think should be played be Jim carrey and zachery ty bryan play the character of super man and
Knowing him from Righteous Gemstones and maybe a little more, I agree he's a good pick, though I'm not sure I'd say "perfect". That said, I'll wait to see how he is in the role, it'll mostly come down to tone, including through writing and direction.
Portuguese here. I had no idea Sara Sampaio acted. Only ever knew her as the one portuguese model who made it to victoria's secret. No idea what she will be doing in the movie or what her range as an actress is.
I have mostly stopped watching comics and sci-fi related UA-cam with a couple of exceptions, because so much of it has become toxic. You, BobaTalks, and Casually Comics are the ones I have been keeping up with. You are all very even tempered, something we need more of on the internet.
Ive never been a DC fan. It is what it is. No hate. Marvel did it for me. And haven't cared for any of the DCEU film's. Not saying they suck. Just not for me. Other than Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. But even I am excited for a James Gunn Superman. Im rambling. Point was that I dig this casting alot. Skylar is great in everything hes in. And has me more excited.
I just wish that these actors getting casted actually get ample screentime to make them memorable. Like I really hope that Jimmy is in for more than just like 5 or 10 total minutes
Gunn can handle pretty long movies. I mean Guardians 3 was the longest Guardians film and it was great. If the story needs a long runtime I’m ok with it.
@@Ay3shizzle Guardians 3 is different because it was an event. Was Gunn's last Marvel movie. Was probably the last Guardians movie. So it was a strong finale. This Superman is an introduction. What we need is a fun and joyful story. You can accomplish alot in under 2 hours. Just like the first Ironman movie which was....Oh..2 hours and 6 minutes. Yeah it can be done. I don't want a boring movie. Where we get another origin story. It's friggin Superman!
@@Ay3shizzle 2 hours and 15 isn't too bad. If it's a fun superhero flick. Though i think saving the longer formed movies for bigger sequels and team ups is a better way to go. I want movies to go back to the 90 minute norm. Where i leave the cinema wanting more rather than looking at my watch waiting for it to end. Either way i believe in Gunn's abilities. He's never had a bad movie. And i don't think Superman will be his first. It's kind of a guaranteed homerun for DC with this collab.
Don’t want to be that guy but I’m glad they didn’t raceswap Jimmy and decided to keep most things accurate with the casting. So that means less controversy and no “Woke” outrage videos.
Are the James Gunn led DC films even happening? I want this to be a thing. But WB is collapsing along with Disney and Universal so I’m worried about this franchise getting cancelled along with everything else.
BTW, why so much attention to that overhyped tripe and not to the genocide of Ukrainians and Uyghurs? A few thousand dead Gazans out of 2 million is nothing like actual ethnic cleansing. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I'm just happy they finally casted a Jimmy Olsen who's not black Secondly, i still can't believe Zack Snyder threw this character away like he's some throw in character.

This is one of the most accurate castings of a comicbook character I have ever seen, he looks straight from the pages.
Good actor too.
Gunn is definitely doing this movie right.
Can't believe the most obvious choice is the one that got it! Love the guy, so damn good in Santa Clarita Diet (rip)

I've also seen Skyler in the game, The Quarry, since those Super Massive Games are usually filled with relatively named actors.
Relatively named

Totally perfect casting.
He was also Gwen Stacy’s brother in the amazing Spider-Man movies
Now he just got upgraded to a bigger and more popular role in the comic book movie genre lol.
Oh thats just perfect! I love Skyler Gisondo. Very underrated actor
didnt you just fan cast this young man a few weeks ago. this is perfecto
Dude saw the future lol.
Yeah! Skyler should be in more things! Good for him!
I was really hoping you would wear a bowtie in this video.
I only really know him from Psych, but just that is enough to make me happy about this cast!
Same!! When I saw him, I was like, “Hold up, I’ve seen him in something.” I’m rooting for him-he seems like the perfect fit.
I’m so glad he got the role, he’s genuinely been my pick for some years now. I’d always thought that he looks exactly how I pictured Jimmy Olsen, despite not having seen a lot of his work.

I am over the moon with this casting 😀😀😁😁
So James Gunn has cast my choices for Clark, Lois, Lex, and now Jimmy… if he casts Mads Mikkelsen as Brainiac, I’ll get casting bingo lol
Love Mads but he's played too many villains. I hope they go in a different direction, a more inspired choice. But yeah, this Jimmy Olson casting is just perfect.
Get a lottery ticket or something
@@doc8013what if they got someone like Jude Law or Daniel Craig for Braniac?
@@Ay3shizzle no for Jude Law but dig the Daniel Craig idea. He'd be a great villain. Doubt he'd be interested though.
@@doc8013 Jude Law usually plays villains anyway lol but yeah Craig seems very different and outside the box.
Now, moving to the next one... who's gonna play bibbo bibbowski?
Tessmacher was great in Supergirl, highly recommended

I’ll always remember him as older young Shawn Spencer
Yeah! The most perfect casting since RDJ. This kid oozes Jimmy Olsen. So happy about this!
RDJ? The guy who just plays himself and is nothing like the comic Tony Stark?
@@nalday2534ikr
@@nalday2534 yep. That RDJ. BTW, your opinion sucks.
Ha, look it! It's the 1 RDJ as Iron Man hater 😂

Tess was in Smallville and she was amazing in the role.
He is so good in The Righteous Gemstones.
Despite her never saying a single line, Mercy Graves in Young Justice steals every scene she's in, that show really won me over to the character but I actually like her the most as a green arrow villain.
Finally someone pronounces Sampaio correctly!
Man if they addap the story where Superman adopts Jimmy this will be the best film ever made
As soon as I saw he got cast I immediately thought of Nando. I knew u were gonna be excited.
Oh god, this is absolutely perfect.

3:11 Imagine if they got his mom in that movie to play Mercy Graves
She actually was Lex's sister in smallville who was a mix of both Mercy and Eve
Im more of Mercy guy myself too
Maybe they'll mix the 2 by making Teschmacher Lex's ultra competent assistant like Mercy.
Maybe they will introduce Mercy Graves later on in the sequels or they’ll make her an amalgamation of the 2
It's still so weird to see (older) young Shawn from Psych all grown up. He's super great though.
Jimmy is great
He was great in Santa Clarita Diet, don't know much about Jimmy Olsen but he'll definitely endear me to the character
Love psych tv show and books smat
😊
nando ! did you watch The Resort? skyler was good in it, but so was your boy william jackson harper
I really hope Gunn remembers to cast Mercy for Lex
Maybe down the line in a sequel
also super good in that time travel series with Chidi. Check it, it's good vibes
What happened to the booster gold video?
Skyler is actually a good pick and honestly I remember him playing young Shawn from psych
i was wondering if anybody else in these comments was a fellow psycho!
@@firemouse7540
Then you would remember when Jimmy Olsen(Sam Huntington)was on psych as well that
I would like to see the cop from the Superman, Turpin, who Darkseid killed, in the animated series. He was a good character.
Hey, yeah, he's Gideon from The Righteous Gemstones and Eric from Santa Clarita Diet. Nice.
Ms. Tesmacher is the jimmy olsen to lex Luther
Cool he’s cute. I feel like the main Superman Uni people are spot on but that’s because I don’t know much of the other characters.
