Introduce Conner Kent on MoT and have Superman III be a proper Super-Family movie.

You're playing with fire. FC would let this place burn before Conner comes onto the scene.

Sources tell Nexus Point News that makeup and prosthetics will be used for the film’s antagonist. In addition, actors with a strong build and stature are being looked at for the role. The makeup and prosthetic portion, heavily hints at the character being Brainiac, known for his green skin and technological enhancements. Another character, heavily speculated by fans to be the villain is Mongul, whom the casting description could be hinting at as well. Mongul is particularly known for his size and the makeup could be used to recreate his yellow skin.

Besides the main villain, it will be interesting to see if another villain makes an appearance.

I keep on forgetting we are getting Momoa as Lobo. It would be a shame if we didn't see superman and him encounter each other.

Sources tell Nexus Point News that a new female hero is being cast for the film. She’s described as being in her late twenties and having an edge to her. What’s interesting is there’s a height requirement for this character and they’re looking for taller actresses. In addition, the character is being described as being a warrior and having a strong physique. All details point to this character being Wonder Woman, a character that has been highly requested by fans to make her DCU debut. Other potential candidates for this mystery character could be Big Barda or Black Canary.

Likely one of these two women. Or Big Barda but I doubt it.

I’m no fan of Pierce Brosnan or his meh take on Dr. Fate but it would be pretty funny if Gunn brought back all the actors from Black Adam except Dwayne Johnson.

 

[Babillygunn]

Brosnan may have sullied his reputation with some awful takes during the past few years, but actually liked him as Dr. Fate quite a bit.

The only other holdover that I want to see come out of Black Adam would be having the Fonz reprise his role as Atom Smasher.

The one I felt really bad for in that movie was Aldis Hodge. He could have been a GREAT Hawkman but 90% of his dialogue was just “HEROES DON’T KILL!”

What a garbage script.

Diana's expression in that last panel is killing me.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I doubt that casting call is for Maxima but I hope she shows up in this saga at some point.

 

[Eddie Dean]

What the hell has Pierce done wrong? He’s pure class all the way.

 

[Chris B]

I haven't gotten around to reading it yet but doesn't Maxima work for Brainiac in 'Panic In The Sky'?

She just feels more likely than Wonder Woman.

Aldos Hodge deserved way better.

I picked that one up a little while ago but also haven’t read it yet. I know she’s in it, but not sure of her relationship to Brainiac in it.

 

[BobJM]

Not sure how reliable that source is but given how vaguely it’s written, I doubt we’re teasing WW.

Maxima is the oddball choice, which makes me think it’s more likely tbh.

 

[flickchick85]

I seriously doubt it's WW, but ya never know.
