The Good Citizens of Metropolis: The Casting Thread

[Rijowhi]

No more Zod!

lol. Kneel before Zod! I was joking…maybe.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Nicolas Cage should have been cast as Brainiac during the Superman Lives development (and not Superman), and he could play Brainiac now.

 

[Dark Raven]

No more Zod!

Lex, Zod, Lex, Zod, Lex, Zod. That's the cycle of villains for every live action iteration of Superman.

And if we're lucky we'll get Zod, Lex, Zod, Lex...

That's all the general public can accept now, because they don't think Superman has any other villains.

Don't forget Doomsday or they'll push Doomsday even if he's not right for the story.

 

[BobJM]

lol I’m okay with seeing Doomsday in a sequel. Bring on the Supermen

 

[Eddie Dean]

no more superman dying

 

[Dark Raven]

Superman will be stuck in Groundhog Day. He'll fight Lex and Zod and then get killed by Doomsday and it will start the cycle all over again. And we'll experience Groundhog Day alongside him watching the same thing over and over.

 

[Sawyer]

Doomsday should be far, FAR off right now, if he’s ever even going to be a factor at all.

Honestly, if this universe ever does get to the point of “killing” Superman, I’d just as soon find some other way, since any inclusion of Doomsday is just a blinking neon sign saying “That **** that you think is about to happen is definitely about to happen.”

But again: FAAAAAR off. We don’t need to do BVS all over again, straight out the gate. We’re not FOX with Dark Phoenix. We can learn from our mistakes.

Should be Every Superman Trilogy ever!

 

[Dark Raven]

Batman is stuck in Groundhog Day too. He keeps witnessing his parents dying, then he begins, then he fights the Joker and it starts all over again.

It's almost like watching a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Don't forget date Selina.

Imma need Batman Returns Hallmark Movie edit, please.

I know Marvel has already snagged him for Adam Warlock, but what about Will Poulter for Superman.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Will Poulter for Lex.

 

[Andrew92]

Nah

 

[BobJM]

I like Poulter for Manchester Black

 

[Sawyer]

I mean, I kind of feel like Adam Warlock is going to be Gunn’s parting gift for the MCU, so Poulter’s dance card might be full as far as franchise stuff goes…

 

[Iceman]

I know Marvel has already snagged him for Adam Warlock, but what about Will Poulter for Superman.

I remember seeing this guy as an annoying kid in one of the Narnia films. Really couldn’t imagine someone calling for him to be Superman years later. . He’s certainly got himself into very good shape since but I think a quirkier character like Warlock will suit him more.

 

[Monochron]

I know Marvel has already snagged him for Adam Warlock, but what about Will Poulter for Superman.

No thanks. He's more of a Guy Gardner. Punchable face and all.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Hugh Laurie would be a great Perry White

I remember that he actually was cast as Perry for Superman Returns but had to pull out for scheduling reasons.

 

[Lily Adler]

I know Marvel has already snagged him for Adam Warlock, but what about Will Poulter for Superman.

Looks like Hugo Weaving for some reason to me.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe as Mr Mxyzptlk posing as Superman but not as the real thing.

Yeah, let’s focus on getting Superman right before any rushed desires to kill him off again. If we do get a great one then I’d like to enjoy him for a decade or so at least after all these years of missed opportunities.

I hesitate to reopen old wounds, but I honestly can’t decide what’s more baffling: following up the first appearance of a new Superman with the Death of Superman, or using the Death of Superman as a jumping off point for the Justice League.

I guess it makes sense when your plan was to do a 3-5 film epic (Lois having Bruce's baby) that a studio took and tried to make a universe out of it.

If Gunn's DC universe and Superman fail after one movie then Superman will be meeting his Doomsday much sooner than we thought so they can reboot him yet again.
