Yes, I'm not ruling out the possibility of it being an elaborate setup for the sequel. Especially as we don't know what kind of role Kara has here. But idk, that just seems a little less likely to me.

Liked? 😭

I should never have left for so long!

I feel like Clark coming back from the fortress after all my training 😅

It's love, I was trying to play it cool. ;)

But don't take that as an excuse to leave again! :argh:
 
Do we know when in March this starts shooting?

I will also say, I'm very grateful Dune is arriving when in it is. Since this apparently won't start shooting until the latter half of March, the first half of March was gonna be totally agonizing for me if it weren't for the beautiful distraction of Dune. :funny:


Too many of the scoopers, including somewhat credible ones, have said it's Brainiac. Gunn himself hinted at Brainiac. They included Superman: Brainiac in the recommended reading for Legacy. It's not like we're going on blind faith here. They either want us thinking its Brainiac so they can pull a switcheroo, or it's Brainiac.

To put my tinfoil hat on for a moment, my current thinking is that the leaked plot featuring Brainiac which ViewerAnon posted Twitter was true, but the part mentioning a war in the Middle East had already been changed to another location. Giving Gunn his out to say it wasn't true.

There was a rumored date of March 18th in Atlanta a while back. Don't know if it was credible or not. But the production work starts in Ohio April 1st. I doubt the cast will be there right away, as principle photography on the Atlanta soundstages will probably go a little longer than 2 weeks, I'd imagine.

I'm wondering if Charlotte got replaced with the Ohio cities? Because they're supposed to be in Ohio from April through August 23rd, which kinda feels like it would be the whole shoot. And I've not seen anything concrete on Charlotte.

100%. These are things that feel so obvious to me at this point, I really hope Gunn is on the same page.

I loved all that build-up hype! There was a part of me that was hoping they'd do those video production diaries like we got for both SR and MoS, as those seemed great for generating hype (and I personally loved them), but then I remember, neither of those movies performed very well, so the studio now probably sees those kinds of things as a waste of money/resources. :(

Just me thinking out loud, but I'd make a good chunk of the promotion Lex centric.

Have scenes of Superman performing typical saves, and scenes of Lex doing evil deeds.

Lex would be giving a voice over about how good he thinks he is, How the people loved him.
He goes on and on, ranting, then Lex has an outburst and screams "then HE showed up in his blue and red clown suit, and ruined it all".

He calms down.
I'm not bad, really, I'm not, he says.
( Lex nods at three men.
we then see a scene of a man being thrown from a roof by otis and a couple more henchmen.
then a shot of Lex turning and staring deadpan into the camera )
Am I?

Just gonna throw it out there while we're on the topic too - this can also be done with Brainiac. That's basically what he did in AC, just with Lex and the government instead of Intergang. I just suspect DC/WB in general might not be in a hurry to attempt Darkseid/Apokolips again, given recent...attempts (+ the whole Thanos thing).

All true, I just feel like that would make me feel more certain if Gunn were only concerned with this film, but he’s involved with everything. To me, just based on the (admittedly minor) amount of information we have on Legacy, I have a hard time figuring out Brainiac’s place in what we’re seeing so far. To me, I get the sense that laying the groundwork for Brainiac would be better than just dropping him in act 3. And then when/if there’s a Justice League or Justice League-like project (that Superman is the actual lead of *quickly glances at Snyder*), there’s your Brainiac showcase.

But then again, I don’t even know what Act 1 and 2 are, so… :o

Brainiac ain't a JL villain, though. He's a Supes villain. There are plenty of other villains to use for the JL. Just pick a threat from Morrison's JLA run, honestly. None of that's been done before. I believe that's one of Gunn's favorites, too. Let Supes (and Kara) handle Brainiac, please. He's hardly too "big" for them to handle on their own. They usually do.
