• Henry Cavill Out As Su...
Viewer Question:
Vaughn D - Wow! You guys said last week that this week would be full of DC news and man you weren’t kidding! I’m sure you’re getting lots of emails about the other stuff, but I wanted to ask specifically about the movie that is actually going to get made, a new Superman movie written by James Gunn. Is this the right project for Gunn to be using his time on and do you think he could actually direct it himself? Thanks!

The one thing I ask for from this whole situation is that I truly want this Superman to be the most idealized version of the character we’ve ever gotten in live action in terms of looks, personality, and values. I think that Is going to be one of the biggest ways this movie and all other DC films become a gigantic win for audiences and the box office.

Gunn writing this shows accountability/responsibility. Prioritized content written by the top writer sounds like Gold.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Blue Beetle may be retrofitted to be the first film in this new universe. If it is a good movie and standalone enough, any DCEU references can be removed to make it work. Unlike other projects, Gunn posted the poster on social media. Blue Beetle also seems like his type of character.
Crazy how James Gunn is writing a Superman movie, since Warner Bros. originally wanted him to helm a Superman movie before Gunn did The Suicide Squad.

If they want to start big..They should film Superman, Batman and Wonder woman at the same time and release all 3 in the same year a few months apart....promote the heck out of the 3 actors and push DC trinity.
I like the idea of starting out the new Superman where he is just hired at the Daily Planet and he has to learn how to balance being a reporter and Superman. Like the very first scene is Clark Kent going to a job interview at the Daily Planet and is about to be late. But then something tragic happens in the city and he has to save the day. He makes it to the Daily Planet just in time to the job interview and he's meeting Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen for the first time and everyone is talking about this mysterious flying man who just saved the day.

James guns Should not fired henry cavill as superman
I hope it’s not non-stop jokes
It will sting in the short-term, but I trust Gunn for now. Too many people writing off this new DCEU without even seeing a piece of concept art. 😂 And who’s to say Henry won’t return in a multiverse type of story someday? Heck, Keaton’s back in a Flash movie. Full disclosure, I’m not a huge fan of Snyder’s DC movies, but I always thought that Cavill was a great piece of casting!
It’s a great move and all it’s about is the villain and the setups for other characters like Steel Supergirl and Superboy
Sounds like it will be similar to the 2020 Superman Man of Tomorrow movie. That movie was fantastic. Hopefully it can have action scenes as good as that Lobo vs Superman fight
As a guy in his early 20s right now, I honestly hope Superman doesn't look like he's around my age. I hope they don't go that young.
James Gunn is getting a lump of coal from Santa this year.
RIP to any life he has outside work if he plans to still direct while running the DC franchise as a whole. I wonder how much work gets alleviated by having Safran as a partner.
I think the best movie for all DC entries is a Year One or Year Two. And if there's one character I want on my wish list is, Scott Free, the Miracle Man without the New Gods reference until the end of the second movie
That's the problem. They're trying to make "ten year plan" while they should focus on making A good movie. I'm a bit tired of having my movie theater being full of TV shows calling themselves movies while having real movies (like Blonde, for example) being released on streaming. It's an upside down world. That's our world, it is what it is. But I don't have to like it.
What difference does it make to have a young Superman, if you get someone in there 30's ,by the time the next film is made he'll be 45.
If they’re rebooting everything, I think it would be smart to avoid doing origin stories for characters like Superman and Batman. I’m not sure if we even need backstories for Wonder Woman or Aquaman either
Why didn't they do this from the beginning is beyond me, WB is a total mess when it comes to planning things through. I'm forever going to have low expectations from any project they start over with.

It makes a lot of sense for Gunn to write and direct a new Superman movie to start the new DC slate. I really hope they focus on him being a great rooky journalist as well as a Superhero. None of the past Superman films have really shown that Clark is a great journalist. That role has always been relegated to Lois. Cavill's Clark was honestly a pretty rotten journalist in BvS, which is the only time we see him doing any journalism. I am also genuinely curious about Batman in the new slate. If Reeves Batman is separate, as confirmed by Gunn, then are they going to have a second young Batman in his early years running side by side with Superman. I agree with Rob that for the sake of the universe's longevity, you need them to be contemporaries. That was always one of my issues with having an older Batman in Affleck. But how do you avoid the comparisons with Matt Reeves's version then. You would really need to have a very different version of the character.

The next actor they cast for Superman and for Batman will suck. Pattinson is Batman and Cavill was a decent Supes
I support the decision 100%. This was long overdue.
The only thing I ask for in a new Superman movie is to not have the stupid "Lois friend-zones Clark because she is in love with Superman" "love-triangle". The newer stories ("Man of Steel", "Superman & Lois") are better because Lois knows Clark is Superman.
Everybody here is throwing their toys out of the pram because they're not getting a Snyder MoS continuation. Yup I'm gutted for Henry too - but watch the whole damn video folks. Everyone threw their toys out of the pram when it was revealed Daniel Craig would play 007...and then what happened?...Personally I'm excited for the next generation of DC.
What I think would be great is that the entire movie universe should be intertwined stories which may focus on the stories of a singular story arc that involves the entire universe for an overarching event ie doomsday clock or the Batman who laughs
He doesn't know THE character. He JUST has no idea about this character. save my word
Superman, as a character and the comics (I believe), tone seemed to me (and how i interpret the comics) set by Superman. If I am recalling this correctly, when the comics introduced Dr Manhattan into the DC Universe, he mentioned something to that effect about Superman as a character or being in the DC Comics Universe. What I am wondering about is if the plan to make a "younger" years Superman is going to be in line with the New 52 concept of DC Comics? Because that didn't work as much (as a whole) and they are rebooting it presently right? Part of me still wonder why they couldn't use Henry Cavill in the reboot? That could have been explained as being a new universe with some similar actors. Multiverse has been introduced in various shows/series and even comics movies by Marvel so I still don't really see it yet, why an older actor like Cavill (who looks younger than his actual age) can't continue on being Superman? I get Ben Affleck not reprising his role as he really is older than Cavill. I do wonder about the announcements early next year. No idea how it will pan out.
If they go back just a little younger, that would be fine, but nothing high school and below, Smallville did that… Speaking of maybe cast Tom Welling as the younger Superman

Tom Welling is older than Cavil so if it’s a younger Superman that’s not happening
I like what Rob said about George Reeves....he is my favorite Superman....I would love to see that type of Superman!!!
Batman & Superman are really the only DC characters I like seeing on the big screen. I am looking forward to the Flash movie in 2023 though. Batman is the dark hero, Superman is the light.
The one thing they nailed was the casting of the heroes. (The ones we had more screentime of at last, Flash and Cyborg are debatable) This new start will be an uphill battle. I'm not interested in a younger group, but perhaps they will make something special. I doubt it and at the moment my frustration is stronger than my hope, but we will see.

After the initial shock, I'm sure down with this. The only way we could have kept a remnant of the snyderverse and still start fresh is if they had gone with Gen2.. the Super sons, Teen Titans, etc. If Superman has a less divisive redux, we're in for a good 2 decades of the DCU
I have to agree with John here. I love the DCEU but the mistakes of the past plus a couple of things beyond their control have left it so flawed and broken that this is the best option- nuclear. So this means Shazam, The Flash, and Aquaman 2 will now presumably be the final chapters. One question I have though is what becomes of Peacemaker.

The future Superman films should be filled with hope🌞😇 AAANNNDDD optimism🌝❤🐤⚘️ just like the Christopher Reeve Superman films. For example.....Reeve's Superman choked his evil twin to death in Superman 3. He killed Nuclear Man in Superman 4. He took Zod 's powers away, made him human, broke every bone in his hand, then threw him against the walls of the Fortress of Solitude as he sank to his icy grave in Superman 2's theatrical version. Critics didn't complain, and whine about Superman killing back then.🧐 We need more hope like when Reeve's Superman gave up being a hero in his second film, took away his own powers so he could sleep with Lois. I especially loved when he went to the diner at the end of Superman 2, and beat up a human truck driver when he got his powers back. He broke a pinball machine with that trucker's head🤕. I loved when Reeve's Superman peeked through Lois' blouse and said "it's pink" in reference to her underwear. Not awkward at all if you brought your child to see the film or watch it with them on TV. Nothing fills me with more hope & optimism than watching Superman smile at the camera as John Williams theme plays even though 7 minutes prior to that I watched Lois sinking into the Earth while being crushed within her car as her mouth filled with dirt during her horrific death scene.

Ah, such memorable scenes
I think the question for me is how are they going to attract talent - directors, actors, writers - to this fractured/messy franchise? I can understand wanting a clean slate, but the way they are cleaning house is already messy, and who’s gonna want to walk into that? Not to mention they are planning ANOTHER Superman movie with a new Superman. I think the character (in the movies) has been as badly handled as the Hulk was over at Marvel, if not worse. DC/Warner can’t seem to get these characters right. They’re treated with a certain triviality which makes the studios feel it’s ok to just change things up every few years. And now they want to do a younger Superman? Every TV show did that already. No one had ever done a younger Batman which is why it was a fresh take. But that take on Superman has been done. I also wasn’t a particular fan of Gunn’s Suicide Squad, or Peacemaker, and if that’s the style and tone they are going to bring over to DC as a whole, I’m not going to be jumping up and down for that either. 🤷🏻♂️

@@Regenmacher175 My question is, Who told Snyder that he was a DC fan? I, personally, am not convinced that he knows very much about the comic books. He MUST BE lying about being a DC fan. That's just my humble opinion.

Probably not. Why would anyone want him to? It was a good film. Snyder's films are trash that noone other than his rabid superfans wants to watch.
Seeing Henry Cavill in Black Adam was a BEAUTIFUL LIE
im really hoping its based off of the all star superman story arc... my favorite superman story of all time
I can’t think of a man in the business who has been screwed over more times and as badly than Henry Cavill! On top of losing Superman he has also lost another dream job in The Witcher! Henry Cavill told a story when he was promoting Man Of Steel that when he was a kid Russell Crowe gave him some advice about getting in the business, he said and I quote “They pay you really well but they treat you like shit.” He was right.

I actually think it is HENRY and his miserable management. They screwed themselves over. Thank God for a full reboot.
The only two actors that I have in mind for Superman other than Henry Cavill are David Corenswett and Jacob Elordi

Trey Tucker at age 33 is close to Pattinson 30+ old Batman. I like Jacob but I think he's a bit too young at 25. David is 29 and has played older.

@@johansvensson833 your right I dint think about that. It will like only start filming this time next year. Trey and David have more of a farm grown vibe. Jacob is a little to polished. I kinda like him as a young Bruce in the Todd Phillips universe.
Gunn is alienating the fans. He should have created a Criss on Infinite Earth type of event to bring DCEU & DCU together. There's no point in watching Aquaman 2, Shazam 2 & Flash now. And it's not like anything that Gunn and Safran have done for WB have been successful comercially. Suicide Squad was critically acclaimed, but it flopped at the box office, Shazam was just a moderate success. If he really wants to build the DCU for the next decade, he could have kept Cavill as he will only be in his late 40s by the the end the decade.

Obviously the best option for everyone would have been henry returning and James writing, but still having james gunn writing a superman film is pretty fucking great and a huge win in my opinion
Honestly this video discussion has insured my faith in “ G&P” ‘s decisions. I needed the 24 hrs to mourn Henry’s Superman, knowing his connection to the character. It’s Time for DC to shine!
For superman and batman I get how they can do them without the origin but idk how they're gonna reboot wonder woman since skipping the origin means they'd probably have to have her arrival into the world of men in modern times.
Superman First year
Our superman Henry Cavill should play Commander Shepard =]
with gunn, kinda feel like his superman is going to be barry allen playing clark kent.
Well given the removal if Henry Caville thus is a movie you can't fuck up. All the pressure is and should be on Gunn. As someone who was excited for Caville as Superman again it's gonna take an amazing and or great reviews for me to see it.

I was hyped when I saw the end Credits for Black Adam. My assumption was that he was back and Man of Steel 2 was a go!!! How wrong I (we) were!!!
DC should just stick to animated cuz they are all over the place
I have nearly went through all stages of grief over this. Not acceptance yet, which depends on who they pick to play Superman. You pick the wrong actor then you’re dead in the water!
Man of Steel 2 would be golden
Would love to have an off-planet Superman adventure film. Minimum amount of time on earth. Minimal time as Clark Kent. Minimal time with Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane. Henry Cavill is perfect for Superman now that he’s a little bit older. Would love to see him battling Lobo in a space adventure.
...Peter Parker's cub reporter days...
yall didnt see ezra coming
I’m fine with a younger Superman as long as they don’t go *too young* Like I don’t wanna see an 18 or 19 year old Clark Kent, to me Superman is a character where it just feels weird if you give him a “New kid on the block” type of portrayal, a character like Superman needs to have some miles on him, that said I think if you went with like a 25 or 26 year old Superman that could work, because in my eyes 25 is when you officially shed your young adult skin and become a legit adult, so that’d be a good middle ground because he’d be *just young enough* to where I think it could still fit in with the type of portrayal they’re going for but at the same time he’d still be old enough to be a believable Superman
What non-superhero movies has Gunn made that were great? Honestly, I've only seen his superhero movies & I'm not so sure I like the tone of those movies for the DCEU. I mean it worked for GOTG & his SS, but I wouldn't want that for a majority of the DCEU heroes. At least he has a plan though, rather than the past DCEU writers.
I feel like Henry cavill may come back if it was crisis on earth
i hope this isn't gonna be another generic comedy of his just like marvel
Rob needs to stop thinking with what he wishes and needs to acknowledge that's not how DC works. I love his pitch but that's not the ticket in their eyes.
