Yes, and?
She's easily the most Lois Lane out of those three
I'm not going to insult any actress here, I'm just going to sit back and watch Gunn's castle crumble just like Snyder's did when he chose that tragic Trinity
Well I've seen her act too, she can most probably pull off the whole spunky, gung-ho reporter thing

This is peak comic book writing and I wish every comic book was like that
Post-Crisis Superman is pretty fun, particularly the issues John Byrne does. There's four little hardback volumes collecting it they've reprinted recently, if that's your thing
According to THR: >Then on Sunday, Hoult, Brittney and Corenswet did another series of screen tests, this time in costume as Superman. Interestingly, only Mackey was brought in that day to portray Lane opposite the actors.
Just cause he has a deep voice doesn't make him a chad. Lex is in every version a spiritual manlet, seething 24/7.

I'm not even talking just about Clancy Brown's Lex, anon. He's always been a chad, the whole point is that he's some rich bastard who'll happily walk over everyone whenever he can just because he can >Lex is in every version a spiritual manlet, seething 24/7.
You're absolutely right here though. It's part of what makes him a fun villain. He's utterly in control of himself and everyone around him until Superman shows up and Lex ends up unleashing his inner autist
Some versions of the character balance it out better than others, but imo Lex should always be mostly a chad until the moment comes for him to lose

As someone that have actually read 90% of Superman comics this is absolute bullshit.
The only times Lex was portrayed as a buffed up chad was the DCAU cartoon and subsequent comics influenced by the DCAU cartoons.
Before that one of his most popular depiction was as an fat as frick Donald Trump-like oil baron.

I'm reading post-Crisis Superman right now myself. Obviously he's a bit chunkier than most other incarnations, but I'd say he's mostly a chad there too in personality alone. It's not just about looks.
Obviously something like classic Silver Age purple mad scientist Lex certainly isn't a chad, but since the 70s I'd say his characterisation in both the comics and most adaptations has most consistently led towards him being the kind of man who's large and in charge
So you're saying we are still stuck with Hackman Lex?
Even Hackman's Lex is mostly a chad I'd say, provided you look past the comedy bits he does with his henchmen

Lex has always been the ultra chad.
Hoult has bad facial symmetry, he would be better Luther than Kent. 3d looks better
It's going to be Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor again. Gunn asked him and even went on his podcast again. Becuase of this Superman will be someone who looks like Welling (Corenswet) and Durance (Mackey).
It was probably just Diesel. The dude's enough of a dork to want in on a Superman movie and probably figured Lex is the one character he's not a total physical mismatch for
About the actresses, James Gunn will choose the one without boobs and ass, and the ugliest face James Gunn is like that, his taste for actresses is like that, he will never look for actresses with curves and a beautiful face the new DCU died when Zaslav chose James Gunn.
I will only write this if in this new DCU the actresses don't have curves, a nice ass and an extremely beautiful face. I will never see these movies in the cinema and I am sure there are many people who think the same.
This is Super Hero genre, not drama, comedy, horror.
Hoult is out, which is funny because this is like the fourth time he's been considered for a big role. I guarantee you this is what's happening. >Hey...this kid is good! Call him back >Alright good...call him back again >Um sir >Yes >There's no getting around he looks like a twink and has a bulbous head >Frick you're right
They're rebooting the entire thing with a new decade long plan, starting with a movie where Superman is in his early years. I like Cavill but the man is 40 already and I don't think people would want to see a 50 year old Superman.

He needs to declare his DC films to be based on another universe. Otherwise this will still be the DCEU with a lame excuse to recast actors either because of budget or not being able to work with people who have more creative control (Affleck and Cavill).

Using "The Multiverse" to explain away editorial decisions is a comic book tradition, that's what the Crisis on Infinite Earths was about. It's different with comic books though because they have multiple issues a year, so they spend one issue explaining all the multiverse rigmarole then get back to the good stuff, with movies they're going to end up wasting at least 30 minutes of every film explaining what's canon and what isn't. Just recast all the actors and move on, throw out the old continuity, they spent a decade trying to make it work and nothing has stuck.
>I like Cavill but the man is 40 already and I don't think people would want to see a 50 year old Superman.
I do. Gunn seems to be afraid or incapable of doing a mid career Superman film.
Old Superman is by far the most interesting movie, giving him an era of success and then challenging him let’s audiences have both cakes. That being said I’d be fine with a completely unshakeable Superman but I’d prefer Henry Cavill in Kingdom Come.
NOBODY wants a younger Superman.
Not even in the comics comic readers wanted that shit. The New 52 reboot wasn't this long ago. Every kept pilling on hate on the young-ish Superman that DC tried to introduce until the publisher was forced to relent and bring back the previous older and married Superman with some multiverse excuse. He even had a son when they brought him back.
Honestly, everyone is ready to see Superman as an older man who's already married, has a family, and can live adventures that extend further from just fricking with Lex Luthor.

It’s the same shit Richard Williams was talking about when he talked about the start of art education. The children of the rich have obscene amounts of money paid for them to attend “acting” school and then don’t learn anything.
when they do the same as now and there are about 3 actors left to play Batman, Gunn's choices will be Emmy and Oscar winning actors and to play Wonder Woman the requirements will be androgynous
Lois' cast will tell a lot about what to expect from DC's female cast If Lois is hot then we'll have Powergirl, Wonder Woman super heroines hot as never before, if Lois is a skeleton as seems to be the case then you know, Powergirl will never appear and Diana will be the producer's trannie friend.

I wonder what it was like having to deal with both Hackman and Marlon Brando on the same film. Reminder that Brando at first wanted his Jor-El to be a bagel or a green suitcase on screen, and his voice would just come out of it
Brando wanted to wear the S shield so much that they made that crest for the house of El.
His suggestions for Superman were quite mild when you look at what a deranged psychopath he became when he got to the Island of Doctor Moreau

True, Brando was a pretty good presence as Jor-El absolutely low effort his performance was. Tbh, the whole 1978 film got a lot of things right and added some more. Zod wouldn't even be remembered at all today if it weren't for the Donner films >His suggestions for Superman were quite mild when you look at what a deranged psychopath he became when he got to the Island of Doctor Moreau
Brando was trolling irl well before Dr Moreau, him turning up to the set of Apocalypse Now completely unprepared is another great example. I guess there was just some point where he realised that his legendary star status meant he could simply frick around, make silly demands, have people work around him and then get paid millions for reading his lines off the notes he had pinned around the set.
Brosnahan looks like THE lady, and Lois (espc young) is an active, pushy and punchy, cunning b***h type who fits every bar.
Out of all three Mackey fits that portrayal the best.
Literally the only thing I've seen Corenswet in is a clip from the movie Affairs of State that I saw on xvideos. He plays some guy who fricks the wives of congressmen including Mimi Rogers, the clip was pretty hot.
It was weird in the finale where they wiped his whole memory. The point was so he wouldn't know Clark's secret I guess but they explicitly say his whole memory is wiped. They spent seven seasons establishing his pathos and then wipe it out in the finale, why would he even be evil if he can't remember any of that?
If I was Gunn I would replace Cavill as well because his entire supporting cast is fricked. Lois is walled, Jimmy took two to the head and Lex is a sperg.
For as much as people rave over Cavill and Batfleck, most of Snyder's DCEU was honestly awfully cast in places >Amy Adams as Lois >Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman >Jesse Eisenberg as Lex >Momoa as Aquaman (though he at least sells his own version of the character) >Ezra as the Flash
>>Amy Adams as Lois >>Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
Eisenberg as Lex
as Aquaman (though he at least sells his own version of the character)
Great castings.
Wow, you guys have your defence force really well-coordinated.
Everybody laughed when Affleck was cast. How times change
>>Amy Adams as Lois >>Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
Eisenberg as Lex
as Aquaman (though he at least sells his own version of the character)

If he'd been directing and starring in his own fricking movie he might have kept his shit together. Fatfleck only showed up once they started Justice League reshoots with Whedon and he realized it was all a waste

I think he tried, at least.
He got depressed and disillusioned after BvS came out, then there was the debacle that was the making of Justice League broke him, and this is all alongside the fact that his Batman solo movie was in development hell and kept flipflopping between someone else directing and directing it himself.
>his Batman solo movie was in development hell and kept flipflopping between someone else directing and directing it himself
The most recent film he directed, in which he directed himself, won the academy award for best film. I'm still baffled at how WB could justify telling him no at that point
>So Ben >we've been thinking >we're just not sure you're the right guy for a Batman movie >But I'm literally Batman >well yes, but we want someone with more directorial experience >I've directed three films and the last one won the oscar for best picture >well, yeah, you see, this other guy...he uh, he's real good at script doctoring >I won an academy award for screenwriting >haha yeah we don't care frick off >*Affleck goes back to his trailer and begins drinking*
I don't fricking blame him one bit. If I'd wanted to make this movie for my entire life and I had a clear shot and kept getting denied for no good reason by people who brought me on because I was the hottest shit in hollywood and then treated me like an intern while they ruined everything and blamed it one the one guy who was actually competent I'd drink myself stupid every night, too.

Yeah Affleck is more than qualified for a cape film, they probably just didn't want to give him more clout.
I kept laughing and it didn't work, the movies were so bad that he didn't even get a Batman movie As long as they make Batman have a famous actor that takes a milk bath, this DC movies will never work, Batman and Wonder Woman need actors with a Scott Adkins and Cynthia Rothrock profile DC needs to worry only about satisfying the fans and not worry about paying tens or hundreds of millions to actors and should look for young actors
>The guy who owns the studio tries to hype up an expensive film
Ok. You guys like to bring up that DC was making more under Snyder thus proving that his films were better, correct? By that logic you would have to concede that Marvel made better films than Snyder since they were far more popular. But I don't think you're prepared to do that.
who cares tho, DC can't sell anything not named batman. All the other characters are so overpowered they write themselves into a corner everytime: >disable their powers >limit their powers >have them asleep/memory lossed the whole script until the end
DC is just broken with so much OP shit from both protag/antag its impossible to write for
To the movies benefit. Gotg, Suicide squad, peacemaker are all the same. I wonder what animal Legacy will use too since so far we got a dog, raccoon, rat, eagle.
It's gonna be Corenswet and Mackey but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these other names end up in other DCU roles, for example Brosnahan as poison ivy or something.
Also Holt as lex?.. not my first choice. I think Hollywood is trying to make him a leading man/a-list name recog actor and he just isn't. My choices are Billy Zane or josh hamilton.
Jensen Ackles as batman, sure.
Gonna be interesting to see which dceu actors stay on
I know I'm shouting into the void, but any time I see a new casting suggestion for Superman, I think, "Henry Cavill looks more like Superman."
I don't know what to say. They're not really trying to beat him in the looks department, even if the person might be a better actor. It's going to end up looking like a tv version of the character compared to Henry.
How have they never tried to adapt this scene or even tried anything like it? Or adapting a good Jimmy Olsen story? We all know Superman is unbeatable so why even make him the focus at all?
>We all know Superman is unbeatable
No more than any other superhero. One of the most famous Superman stories is him just flat out being beaten to death
That story was shit though. The only good interpretation of the character since his debut in the 30s is Man of Steel. Everything between is just pretentious slop.
Gunn fricked himself by >becoming twitters jester >hiring mediocre writers to be his architects >keeping Andy after the bomb >tripling down on the cinematic universe approach in lieu of it becoming unpopular >hypocritically criticizing modern capeshit >somehow alienating Ben “I would never work with James Gunn” Affleck

Hopefully it'll be better than anything that the Snyderverse shat out at least, but that's a very low bar to clear.

i don't believe warner will hire actresses again that men will like, i think this era is over a long time ago
>Brosnahan is the obvious choice for Lois.
Brosnahan looks like THE lady, and Lois (espc young) is an active, pushy and punchy, cunning b***h type who fits every bar.
Out of all three Mackey fits that portrayal the best.
They probably test them in the original pairs based on availability
Hoult seems a better fit for lex than for superman.
hoult is very similar physically to pattinson, women love that.
David Corenswet has the worst gay face I’ve ever seen. He’d be a great Jon Kent, but not Clark.
Mackey and Cornswet would be my guess.
Literally the only thing I've seen Corenswet in is a clip from the movie Affairs of State that I saw on xvideos. He plays some guy who fricks the wives of congressmen including Mimi Rogers, the clip was pretty hot.
the last dude kind of looks like richard madden
That arc of Lex being President on Smallville was peak DC series. I loved it.
It was weird in the finale where they wiped his whole memory. The point was so he wouldn't know Clark's secret I guess but they explicitly say his whole memory is wiped. They spent seven seasons establishing his pathos and then wipe it out in the finale, why would he even be evil if he can't remember any of that?
Samara Weaving is out? Good I guess, she''ll be a better fit in another role. Also David Corenswet looks best.
>Samara Weaving is out?
Was she ever in?
>Also David Corenswet looks best.
Yeah. Cavill is still a good choice.
Go back to WoW Henry, these studios are just gonna keep fricking you over
I'm playing FF16 now and shut up!
Bottom two
Cavill should still be Superman. It's not his fault the Snyder films were shit.
The Snyder films were the good ones, it's all the ones without him that went to shit
Truth.
You guys sure do love your info graphics
What can i say?
>Priya Dogra
who is that
>Keeps getting less and less time and lines in Snyder's films
>The Snyder films were the good ones
Lol
Lmao
They were.
Kek
Filtered.
>almost everyone was "filtered"
Hmm
>BvS couldn't make a billion
>Aquaman being in the Snyderverse
>box office "success" means it's good
Hmmm
Do you want me to bring up Gunn's pedo tweets?
Go ahead. Disney or WB don't care about Twitter shit. Pls stay their.
>black adan actualy did better than shazam 2
the rock was right
Yes.
Sounds like it's just you Indians who only love this guys films
Nahhh. Lots of good ideas but mostly poor execution
Such a numale reply it gives huge strength to my theory all snyder haters are Reddit geeks.
>everyone who hates these bad films is from Reddit!
Jesus christ you guys are moronic. Only jeets worship that dude.
If I was Gunn I would replace Cavill as well because his entire supporting cast is fricked. Lois is walled, Jimmy took two to the head and Lex is a sperg.
Speaking of, what did anons think of Amy Adams as Lois?
Personally I don't think she ever really fit the part all that well tbh
forgettable and she looked 10 years older than clark
That was intentional.
She's 8 years older. Of course Gunn is recasting. Nobody wants a 50 year old Lois running around
You now remember that Amy Adams played a freak of the week in season one of Smallville.
Love her. Honestly don't get the criticism, she's an incredible actress.
No ass
No breasts
No hips
Stick legs
yeah, this is the NU Hollywood I am not surprised that these movies are making less and less money
Just reboot and keep Cavill. The same thing happened to Ryan Reynolds.
I just hope it isn't Rachel Brosnahan. She'd be absolutely wasted doing shitty Superman movies for the next decade.
remember what they took from u
2 or 3
David and Phoebe for me
Nicholas Hoult is a great actor, but I can’t see him as Superman.
there's no way Nicholas Hoult is being considered for playing superman
Why? Superman doesn't need to be huge, he gets his strength from the yellow sun.
For as much as people rave over Cavill and Batfleck, most of Snyder's DCEU was honestly awfully cast in places
>Amy Adams as Lois
>Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
>Jesse Eisenberg as Lex
>Momoa as Aquaman (though he at least sells his own version of the character)
>Ezra as the Flash
All good casting.
Wow, you guys have your defence force really well-coordinated.
Kek true
I remember the Fatman memes now
>>Amy Adams as Lois
>>Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman
Eisenberg as Lex
as Aquaman (though he at least sells his own version of the character)
Great castings.
Everybody laughed when Affleck was cast. How times change
>Everybody laughed when Affleck was cast.
I didn't.
UNDER CONTRACT SINCE 2016 AND NOT ONE FRICKING SOLO BATFLECK MOVIE WHYYYYY
Everyone memoryholed those years where Affleck was a fat drunken mess.
If he'd been directing and starring in his own fricking movie he might have kept his shit together. Fatfleck only showed up once they started Justice League reshoots with Whedon and he realized it was all a waste
I think it had more to do with his terrible divorce anon. If Affleck fell apart after every bad film he would have drank himself to death after Gigli
>If Affleck fell apart after every bad film he would have drank himself to death after Gigli
I think he tried, at least.
He got depressed and disillusioned after BvS came out, then there was the debacle that was the making of Justice League broke him, and this is all alongside the fact that his Batman solo movie was in development hell and kept flipflopping between someone else directing and directing it himself.
Apparently he also had drinking problems that were interfering with his ability to act/be in the movies
>Apparently
Affleck's alcoholism is very well documented, anon
>his Batman solo movie was in development hell and kept flipflopping between someone else directing and directing it himself
The most recent film he directed, in which he directed himself, won the academy award for best film. I'm still baffled at how WB could justify telling him no at that point
>So Ben
>we've been thinking
>we're just not sure you're the right guy for a Batman movie
>But I'm literally Batman
>well yes, but we want someone with more directorial experience
>I've directed three films and the last one won the oscar for best picture
>well, yeah, you see, this other guy...he uh, he's real good at script doctoring
>I won an academy award for screenwriting
>haha yeah we don't care frick off
>*Affleck goes back to his trailer and begins drinking*
I don't fricking blame him one bit. If I'd wanted to make this movie for my entire life and I had a clear shot and kept getting denied for no good reason by people who brought me on because I was the hottest shit in hollywood and then treated me like an intern while they ruined everything and blamed it one the one guy who was actually competent I'd drink myself stupid every night, too.
There's a story where Affleck leaked the Deathstroke footage before boarding a plane just so he could frick with the WB execs and not be bothered while on board.
Given what we know now, I think its safe to assume literally every problem with the DCEU stemmed form the execs being complete fricking morons. I can buy one actor being a diva but pretty much everyone who's come in contact with these projects left bitter and angry about something
Yeah Affleck is more than qualified for a cape film, they probably just didn't want to give him more clout.
>le same smile from cartoon
These "comparisons" were always stupid
I kept laughing and it didn't work, the movies were so bad that he didn't even get a Batman movie As long as they make Batman have a famous actor that takes a milk bath, this DC movies will never work, Batman and Wonder Woman need actors with a Scott Adkins and Cynthia Rothrock profile DC needs to worry only about satisfying the fans and not worry about paying tens or hundreds of millions to actors and should look for young actors
>The guy who owns the studio tries to hype up an expensive film
Ok. You guys like to bring up that DC was making more under Snyder thus proving that his films were better, correct? By that logic you would have to concede that Marvel made better films than Snyder since they were far more popular. But I don't think you're prepared to do that.
I'd bet a lot on it being middle, Love Holt and he'd probably would do a good job but I don't think he's right for Superman tbh.
Could we start again?
I can't see Superman in any of them and Lois James will choose the less sexy option as his master Kevin Feige taught him
wtf why is best girl Rachel paired with that talentless gayboi charisma vacuum who butchers every movie
Middle is the least boring but seriously who actually wants this?
Idris Elba and Awkwafina
who cares tho, DC can't sell anything not named batman. All the other characters are so overpowered they write themselves into a corner everytime:
>disable their powers
>limit their powers
>have them asleep/memory lossed the whole script until the end
DC is just broken with so much OP shit from both protag/antag its impossible to write for
Hoult being considered for Superman is completely moronic to me
Why is the first movie called Legacy?
Legacy of Krypton. I'm 100% sure the villain will be Brainiac and they're going with the Kryptonian AI origin
Because it revolves around the characters daddy issues, like any other Gunn movie
No one had daddy issues in Scooby-Doo.
To the movies benefit. Gotg, Suicide squad, peacemaker are all the same. I wonder what animal Legacy will use too since so far we got a dog, raccoon, rat, eagle.
Superman has a dog
It's gonna be Corenswet and Mackey but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these other names end up in other DCU roles, for example Brosnahan as poison ivy or something.
Also Holt as lex?.. not my first choice. I think Hollywood is trying to make him a leading man/a-list name recog actor and he just isn't. My choices are Billy Zane or josh hamilton.
Jensen Ackles as batman, sure.
Gonna be interesting to see which dceu actors stay on
Hoult doesn't have a superman jaw
I know I'm shouting into the void, but any time I see a new casting suggestion for Superman, I think, "Henry Cavill looks more like Superman."
I don't know what to say. They're not really trying to beat him in the looks department, even if the person might be a better actor. It's going to end up looking like a tv version of the character compared to Henry.
Hoult/Brosnahan
Brosnahan has too much baggage, 6 years in a very popular comedy show, everybody will see her as the snarky b***h.
Middle looks like a no-brain choice. Mackey-haters are just face blind, because she suits young Lois type and vibe the best out of three.
How have they never tried to adapt this scene or even tried anything like it? Or adapting a good Jimmy Olsen story? We all know Superman is unbeatable so why even make him the focus at all?
>We all know Superman is unbeatable
No more than any other superhero. One of the most famous Superman stories is him just flat out being beaten to death
can't have that anymore cause collateral damage
Collateral is fine. Making out in the ruins of half a city is what annoyed people
Have you seen the flash movie? The zod fight happens entirely in a desert. It looks like shit. WB won't allow any cities be destroyed anymore.
Have you seen the Flash movie? Metropolis is still being destroyed in that film
That story was shit though. The only good interpretation of the character since his debut in the 30s is Man of Steel. Everything between is just pretentious slop.
Ok anon
and they called Snyders movies pretentious
I like nick hoult but it's very obviously gonna be the middle pair.
>superxir
Gunn fricked himself by
>becoming twitters jester
>hiring mediocre writers to be his architects
>keeping Andy after the bomb
>tripling down on the cinematic universe approach in lieu of it becoming unpopular
>hypocritically criticizing modern capeshit
>somehow alienating Ben “I would never work with James Gunn” Affleck
I guess the middle if thats all they are working with
