The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread

I doubt Yates is directing Superman. That was mentioned by some internet scooper that isn't much of a scooper at all and lazily attached Yates to Superman because of his history with WB.

 

[souperman]

Isn't Yates the scarier of the triplets?

 

[Boy Scout]

Oh God, it’d be hilarious if they got David Yates.

 

[emielaen]

Would be a very easy way to suck the excitement out of everything lol

I've no clue why Gunn would take that horrible-sounding job begging Zaslav not to cancel half his line-up six months down the line, but I'm happy to have him in charge. I think he's clever and knows how to make 'em.

Yates would make Superman into a kitchen sink drama. Please, **** no.

Give me Matthew Weiner and a Mad Men Metropolis.

Whenever we get MoS2....should they recast some roles? Leave them the same? Ignore anything from the prior films?

Bring back Cavill, Adams, Crowe, Lane and Fishburne.

Recast Eisenberg with Matthew McConaughy or George Clooney (my top picks).

Ignore the death of Jimmy, but keep references to the Snyder films broad and generalised.

Jimmy Olsen is dead, so they should change that.

I think their plan is, is to use THE FLASH to create a new timeline at the end of the film so that they can use some stuff and leave some stuff from what the current timeline is right now. So yeah, they can totally bring Olsen back and even with a new actor. I bet they’ll take some Snyder stuff but leave stuff too.

Imo, you want a bright and hopeful superman film, get Brad bird to direct it.

Get Jason isaacs or Edris Elba as Lex.
Keanu Reeves or Hugo weaving as Brainiac.
John Goodman perry
Kurt Russell Jonathan
Geena Davis martha.

If the Flash film resets the timeline like we think, anything is possible.

I'm thinking once the timeline is reset at the end, we could have new heroes that didn't exist before he tampered with the timeline.
Heroes like MM and booster gold.

Rumour of Spielberg talking to the big Z from WB, the article reads like a fanboys wet dream though so I doubt its true.

TikTok Superman Musical Starring Katharine McPhee as Lois?

 

[Boy Scout]

You know…I’d be up for a Superman musical

 

[Nemeres]

Me too! Damn would I love that unironically.

 

[Dr.]

There was a Broadway musical back in the 1960s...

It's a Bird... It's a Plane... It's Superman - Wikipedia

 

[BobJM]

I’d still like to see Mangold get the director’s chair.

 

[Yellow Cyclone]

yates!?

please dear god no

 

[Lily Adler]

Every musical number will change to portrait mode and be edited as a TikTok video. I can't wait for the first flight duet where Cavill is dubbed by Jeremy Jordan!

 

[emielaen]

Mangold isn't a bad one.

How do y'all feel about Lord/Miller being involved in some fashion?

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Ol’ Stevie would be insane. If Bobby Z was in his prime, that’d be sick, too.

 

[flickchick85]

None of these people will be directing this.

 

[-Arya-]

Do y’all still listen to Campea? Dude is insufferable.

Most likely not but it's still fun to fancast it a bit. Plus Spielberg was going to do the Blackhawks film back in the day.

Honestly if they were smart they would be using him to find a director...although they did that with Nolan and that gave us Snyder so maybe not

In truth they probably just want to get him to make movies for them in any capacity not comic related.

I’ve never seen more than a clip here or there of him posted on the Hype and even then, that was far too much for me.
