The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

It could mean nothing, but for me, the important thing is that the classic colors are there. That's what matters most to me.

Okay this is going to be a wild week.

They have to release the official suit pic before filming starts, surely?

And would they start filming without announcing the remaining cast? What's the norm here?

 

[flickchick85]

Whaaaat?! Here we goooo!!!

People get announced sometimes even after filming has wrapped. You just never know with that kind of thing.

And since most of the filming for the month of March will be on soundstages, I’m not getting my hopes up for the official suit reveal just yet. Unless Gunn just takes pity on us lol. Blurry leaks seem more likely to me until the move to Ohio.

Watch it be just b-roll of farms and small towns and whatnot.

In Ohio? Or next week?

 

[Kane52630]

First week of filming. I can't see them already filming scenes with the actors just yet.

Possible, and I might agree if they weren’t all already in town. But I was wondering why the table read was happening so early. Makes more sense if they’re starting rehearsals now imo. We also know the first chunk of filming is in Atlanta, and I doubt they’d be doing the farm stuff there. Ohio is midwestern farm central lol.

 

[STARMAN]

These little crumbs the last few days might not amount to much but they've been fun. It's just nice to have a Superman film back in production again.

 

[Captain Tired]

The few little tidbits have been an oasis in a desert.

 

[Alien Anal]

I just want a modern Superman that I can show people. I also want a movie that I can watch over and over.

I never revisited MOS after the first cinema viewing.

 

[Boom]

I mean, Hoult did shave his head and you can't help but wonder if he'd really need to do that if he wasn't gonna be shooting for 3 more weeks. Unless it was for promotional/test photos.

Either way, Atlanta is for sound stages so it's not like they'll be out and about yet. We're probably not gonna get a first look until April at the earliest once they move production to Ohio.

 

[GreenKToo]

I've said from the beginning that I think this will be heavily influenced by KC's storyline, and I still think so.

 

[dhandler01]

Kingdom Com is not a story you use in the beginning even as influence. Everything about it is a longterm sequel.

I mean Lois and the Joker are dead, Superman quit and Batman is a full on fascist.

I think the logo is for promo stuff only.

 

[GreenKToo]

It would be cool if Gunn would release the \S/ logo he's gonna use on the day filming starts. Nothing else, just that.

What I mean is, it will be a gradual build up to it in each DCU film released, ending with a couple films that are very KC(ish), but not necessarily the same storyline.

Hmmm true. I guess I was assuming they'd want to get an official pic out as quickly as possible so the first glimpse of it isn't a blurry leak, but maybe that's more my wishful thinking

 

[agomezv3]

Someone pointed out that that is also the logo from a comic called Superman vs The Authority

Can you imagine the backlash if the suit turned out looking exactly like that

 

[AverageMan]

Not gonna lie, the hype is already building for me. Promised myself I wouldn't get carried away, but oh well....

Gunn already said we’re getting a cape, though.

Yeah, I can't seem to keep that promise either. Despite knowing the pain it can lead to

It just occurred to me that Milly Alcock isn't at the table read, so perhaps she is not in the film and her casting was more about gearing up the Supergirl film.

She could still be in it. The table read/this pic isn't everyone who is in the film. I think it's safe to say it's likely all of the 'core' cast, but not ruling out more to come I.e. Perry, Lombard, Cat Grant etc

As the Big Boss, I suppose Gunn can do whatever he wants. But generally, I think it would be unusual for him to cast an actor in a movie he’s not directing. He would, of course, need to cast someone for Supergirl if the character was appearing (even just a cameo) in his own film. So although Alcock wasn’t in the selfie photo, I’d bet a nickel she’s in Legacy.

 

[Sawyer]

I’d say there’s also a good chance her role in this film isn’t big enough to really make her presence at the table read an absolute necessity.
