Is Lex Luthor the main villain for this movie? And are we going to get Zod again for the sequel? I hope we are not going to be stuck on those two villains for every new version of Superman and never getting past them.

 

[emielaen]

We know nothing about a sequel and nothing suggests Zod will be involved.

The characters and premise of this already sets it apart imo. Luthor was bound to be heavily present though.

You can say a lot about Batman & Robin, but not that it’s unfunny, intentionally or not.

It's 100% intentional.

The homoerotic imagery?

I’m probably in the minority, but I think Lex should always be in the mix, either as a villain, an uneasy ally, or a mixture of both.

Me too, he's a key supporting character. I'd be disappointed if he was literally not present in a Superman movie.

That's not a minority opinion in my experience. Not having Lex in a Supes story is like not having Alfred in a Batman story - something would just be missing. Doesn't mean I want him as the Big Bad, but he should always be there in some capacity.

Superman, Lois and Lex. Those three must be in a Superman film.

We get it you watched Challengers.

 

[Captain Tired]

It's been far too many movies without ever seeing Lex act as a reluctant ally to Superman. We had it for like, what, a minute and a half near the end of Superman II? And that's it. Seeing Luthor interacting with Superman in a manner not too dissimilar to Magneto's interactions with the X-Men in X2 would open up a whole new dimension for their cinematic rivalry, which up til now has just been pretty standard (though still enjoyabe!). Even the Green Goblin has been an ally to Spider-Man in cinema before.

Are there more Superman stories from this creative team, or was this just a one-time thing?

That's the only one I'm aware of!

Hopefully we'll only have to wait until the terminal film shoot.

 

[7heBoss]

So has this whole movie been filmed inside so far? How have they not been seen at any outdoor location? Is every background green screen or the volume?

 

[Arachnerd]

Gunn filmed on location in Norway in an isolated area, and there was the Engineer film shoot a while back. Other than that, I don't fully know.

 

[Lily Adler]

At least we can dispel the rumor that David was hiding a mullet under that cap.

He gets pretty big sets built. A solid chunk of this will hopefully just be inside of a newsroom.

That was never an actual rumor. Just a joke that some portions of the internet took seriously because they can't tell the difference anymore.
