To win points with nerds on the internet for dunking on scoopers who are deeply unpopular and also probably an exercise in Gunn's personal dislike of them as a class of internet denizen as well. Which, I mean, fair enough but it's still pretty embarrassing to see him waste his time on it.
The rumor wasn't Elordi auditioning for Superman, the rumor was Elordi being cast as Superman when they hadn't even begun casting yet as Gunn stated there. If I recall that rumor was put out 3 months before the audition process even began.
I can't recall a single instance where he got anything right about a film that wasn't already being test-screened lol You are welcome to cite me examples if you remember any but I've been following him for a while and can't remember a single one.
I mean, we’re splitting hairs, but we know there was interest from someone at WB maybe even Gunn to have him audition for the role, so there was some truth in those reports and again I ask: why address it in any way?
Even if he had I strongly believe odds are he'd have lost to Corenswet anyway.
I mean... 'cuz he wasn't actually cast in the role and casting hadn't even started? That was the rumor.
This. It can be faintly annoying but it's a fun kind of annoying, it's just so incredibly low stakes and unimportant. Hence why generally speaking professionals don't engage with it.
Hopefully he will be too busy filing Superman soon and will not have time to own the trolls.
He said 3 times he'd like to see the Court.

I can't disagree more lmao. The Court just represents something that is extraordinarily real in the world: The top 1% of wealthy people looking out for themselves and screwing everyone not as wealthy as them by controlling everything around them with their wealth. They're just an slightly heightened way of exploring that concept; instead of merely giving donations to politicians like in real life they also are a creepy cult that wear goofy masks on their spare time—which isn't that off in a universe that already has a billionaire that wears a batsuit.
I mean Reeves can easily flesh them more out. That's what I like about them too. They're such a blank slate in that way he can fill them with OCs like what Colson was on the first movie and I think he could come up with something cool.
The Court wouldn't be OC villains, the men behind the masks would be since they don't give them an identity at all in the comics and Reeves has more freedom to play with who would be a part of it.
