Ok it’s pretty safe to say the movie will eventually get a sequel so let’s talk about what we want.

I know everyone’s going to say Brainiac but I think Dave Bautista as Mongol would be too cool not to see.
 
Could do both. Have mongul and brainiac team up. Mongul has brainiac bring superman to war world.
 
Yeah that could be cool. I suppose people were worried about the last one being overstuffed but to me it wasn’t.

Oh someone wants all the Superman villains in the next one lmao
 
Fingers crossed we get a sequel.

I’d love to see metahuman antagonists (rather than alien invaders) like the Superman Revenge Squad. Give me Parasite, Metallo, Toyman, and Livewire.

Captain Atom, Major Force, and Wade Eiling / The General could be fun additions too. Would be awesome to see JK Simmons reprise that role.

Or Gunn could use the Elite (or the Authority!).

I think it would be possible to have lobo in supergirl be hired by either mongul or brainiac to capture the last Kryptonians.
Mongul would want her for his fighting pits.
And Brainiac wants her for his collection.

Lobo meets her in a bar on some distant planet with a redsun for the first time..
shes having drinking games with everyone, And winning.
He sits down by Kara.
krypto growls at him. Kara makes krypto sit.

so, you want my title too?

lobo laughs. As he downs a drink in an instant with no problem.
I think I can take it. He says.

Lobo acts all friendly toward her.
He's throwing the drinks back, one after the other. She downs one. Ok,.lets see what you got tough guy.

( She likes him for some odd reason, and she doesn't like people.)
she downs another to keep up.

He downs another in a flash. No expression afterwards. His Eyes are looking straight ahead.

Lobo notices her out of the corner of his eye trying to match him. He grins.

He downs a larger one.
She does the same.
She orders another, an even bigger one.
He follows it up with an even larger one.

On and on it goes. a crowd gathers and cheers at each drink downed, each larger than the last.

By now the drinks are the size of small barrels. It's a sloppy mess.

After about 70 drinks a piece, Lobo wins.
Kara passes smooth out. Empty drink barrels are stacked to the ceiling.

Sorry little sis lobo says As he removes a little alcohol inhibitor from his neck..he's stone sober. The crowd boos.

Lobo shrugs and grins, as He downs another drink.

He picks her up, krypto follows.
He tries to bite lobo to stop him.
Lobo draws back his fist as if to hit krypto but he stops.

Naaah. I'd do the same litte dude. Run along now.
Krypto howls as the ship/space Harley thats carrying lobo and kara flys away..


She later wakes up on warworld and grabs her head. She has a massive hangover.

He11, if you really wanted to go all out, have Brainiac seemingly invade warworld to rescue her.
Mongul is defeated.
Brainiac makes his true intentions known. he's there to capture her, not free her.

And by this point, she and lobo would have an uneasy alliance. They both ready themselves to fight Brainiac.
kara pauses and looks at lobo.
Do you know Earth? she asks.
He nods yes.
ok, Whatever happens, you go get my damn dog and take him to my cousin in metropolis ok. his suit looks similar to mine. You will know him. Remember the name of the place, METROPOLIS. Promise?
Lobo nods.
its close, but brainiac defeats them, kara is only at about 40% strength.
brainiac captures kara, and flys away in his skull ship.
He now readys to go after the last male Kryptonian.

That could lead to superman 2.
Lobo heads to earth, but makes a pitstop first to get krypto.

He then heads to metropolis, locates superman, and explains what happened. He tells the whole truth.

Superman is furious at what lobo did, and punches him, knocking him a hundred yards away.
Lobo - laying flat on his back. he slightly rises his head and looks at superman, but I'm......the.....main......man......as he passes out from the blow.
Krypto almost seems to smile at this as his tail wags.

Superman looks down at krypto. When he wakes up, we'll go get kara.
Krypto barks in approval.

Little do they know but brainiac's ship is passing Saturn, headed straight to Earth.

There is ZERO way that if we get a sequel that we need any villain that has already been adapted for SUperman to appear again.

It is beyond time to do Brainiac or Mongul.

Characters like toyman or Metallo can easily be 2ndary villains that are either henchmen or just help kick things off.
 
Brainiac for me. It's a crime he has not been adapted into a movie version after all these years.

Save Darkseid for the Justice League.

And Doomsday for way down the road if we ever get to that point. Because using Doomsday means doing a death and return storyline for Superman.
 
As much as we all are longing for Brainiac at this point in time, I am still going to let him simmer just a tad bit longer until the Superman and Supergirl relationship plays out a bit (maybe introduce Brainiac as a post-credit in the Superman sequel once those two are established; maybe even setup Brainiac to be the over-arching DCU villain in this first chapter of Gods and Monsters).

After watching Superman with the emergence of these parallel universe's with the addition of black holes, I would love to see Gunn take a crack at Mxy to further expand these dimensions and create Mxy as the glue that holds these universes together throughout. Hoult needs to return in some way, so Lex/Metallo/Mxy threesome going after Superman in the next go around would be a cool adventure to expand the multiple villains aspect of Gunn's storytelling.

Let Brainiac come in soon after the DCU is more deep in its created mythology, especially after Supergirl and what that films ramifications can have on the ruins of Krypton and other alien planets that has a history of said worlds (Colu).
 
I think Lex has been firmly established as having an ongoing presence in the DCU moving forward.
I figure he will either be directly responsible, or partially, for all the future alien villains we will see. Mongul, brainiac, etc.

I remember reading somewhere recently (not sure where since Superman is everywhere and I am in a billion convos at once so apologies if it was somebody on the boards) that Lex could end up being the Loki of the DCU. Once that was read, it made sense and would totally be all kinds of wonderful. Hoult brings the villain'ery goods.

All they need to do is set up Brainiac as a cause for Kryptons downfall in her film and then Brainiac for the next Superman film

They could certainly do it and trust me, I wouldn't be complaining. Superman/Supergirl vs Brainiac/Lex is decades overdue. I would just prefer to let Brainiac come in a tad later when the DCU is set in stone on where it wants to go..
 
I wish Lex used Metallo and Parasite in this movie tbh, but it is what it is. Wouldn't mind seeing them as secondary villains in part 2, but I think most people agree that Brainiac is the way to go. Either way, I wanna see Mister Mxyzptlk!

Yes Parasite and Metallo could have served the roles of Ultraman and Engineer. For the most part.
 
With Lex now in prison, it’d be cool to see a scene adapted from All-Star where Clark has to fight/escape Parasite while hiding his identity.
 
No prison will hold this Lex with an army of lawyers at his disposal.
If this film had really happened in real life 3 days ago, Lex would already be out of jail.
 
If Gunn goes to 5th dimension, I think I’d prefer Johnny Thunder (and/or Jakeem) & Yz/Thunderbolt.

You could tie to the legacy of this DCU with the original JSA, and maybe cement to Clark that he needs to create the League.
 
Obviously let’s see what happens with Supergirl next summer but I believe Kara will have a substantial role in Superman 2. I think Kal and Kara together will be trying to find out more about that message that Joe-El and Lara sent. That is how you shoehorn Brainiac in this. I would have Brainiac be similar to the Superman the animated series version. Where Brainiac was doing shady stuff and not letting Krypton know it was about to be destroyed but it had its own escape plan. I thought that was fascinating.

It might sound a little wacky but I might also put Superboy in this. The flashy Superboy from the Reign of the Supermen. Lex has him hidden away and since Lex is locked up, the kid gets out and becomes a star. Sunglasses and all. Introduce Henry Irons as well.

Team Mixy. The animated series version.
