Can’t believe I never thought of Gleeson for Luthor. I like it.
Hoult just keeps getting more built. He’s not the lanky young actor he was 10 years ago in X-Men: First Class.
I think he could absolutely be your typical Superman. Just having him be Reeves’ second choice for Batman gives me even more confidence that he could carry a film on his shoulders.
Yeah. Truth be told, I was rooting for him over Pattinson back then (Pattinson did great obviously but I was a bit unsure about him when casting was going on). I hope he’s still on WB’s radar. He could make a great Superman; he’s a very versatile actor.
Oh see, I was the opposite lol. I always like Hoult but thought he was a bit too 'soft' for Bruce Wayne / Batman. I always saw him as more of the boy scout / Clark Kent-type.
And after seeing West Side Story and her latest SNL appearance, I can't get enough of Ariana DeBose. She'd be a great Lois.
The first thing I did when I walked out of The Batman was start to think about what a complimentary Superman series would look like...
For real, DeBose is amazing and I hope to GOD she drops out of that stupid Kraven movie so it doesn’t hurt her chances at appearing in a real superhero film.
Yeah, I wish WB would entrust someone with the Superman franchise who has the vision and the respect for the character the way Reeves does with Batman.
Based on Nomadland and Eternals, I don’t think Zhao’s sensibilities fit Superman at all, tbh. We need someone who will embrace the fun and childlike wonder with great zeal. And not like they were forced to (which was the feeling I got from the levity in Eternals).
The last thing I want is another po-faced, self-serious take on Supes.

How about Bryce Dallas Howard? Her work on The Mandalorian and Boba Fett has been stellar. She seems to have a good handle on delivering character-driven action and spectacle.
I honestly don't think they will go with 'typical' superman... in the sense that, and don't get me wrong, I want 'typical' superman.... I feel like, they won't make this a super hero film, it will lean more to a political drama type, with reporters, news outlets and geo political affairs.. as the back drop.. which, I feel they would do, in the same way The Batman isn't so much a super hero movie, but a detective story... if that makes sense, like, they will find the human angle... and the realistic take... again I could be wrong, but I just see this as WB thinking 'The Batman made bank because we humanized him' - I don't think it's a bad idea per se, it just boxes .Hoult just keeps getting more built.

I could dig it!How about Bryce Dallas Howard? Her work on The Mandalorian and Boba Fett has been stellar. She seems to have a good handle on delivering character-driven action and spectacle.
