All Gunn needs to do is follow the blueprint of the superman animated series which is the definitive version of Superman imo.
facts batman the animated series gave us the arkham versions and some animated movie versions
I'm more curious than anything to see what this looks like. He's never worked on a character like this at all. He has only done the typical james gunn thing with characters he knows he can get away with. Superman is a different beast. Him writing and directing shows me he must be taking this very seriously. Sometimes directors get the itch to do something a bit different and hopefully that's what's happening with Gunn. One thing Gunn is very good at is making audiences fall in love with his characters. I think he could portray a very VERY relatable Superman if he puts his mind to it.
He can’t get away with two hours of stupid jokes. If he screws this up, WBD is dead in the water.
UThe has also u😅uuu😅😅it’s not even u😅or you u😅u😅iu I am iso in a lot in my own way and 😅it feels good 😅i😮😅h🎉propping
😂o
😂🎉 no🎉 ok😂🎉🎉
I mean he nailed the tone of scooby doo
The fact that Superman release date is his father’s birthday that passed away last year 💔
I'm excited for this. Gunn is a real talent and isn't known for production drama (at least on his end). I'm stoked for this one.
John’s point at the end is spot on! What Gunn is doing takes balls of steel. He’s probably already written the movie and knows how good it is. That’s the only explanation I can think of.
Well, considering he was brought in like months ago before he got announced as the co-head of DC Studios, he's being writing it for a big chunk amount of time
@@Merdicano yes that’s what I mean. I think he started way before he got offered the job. When DC offered him Superman before Suicide Squad, that’s what put the idea in his head.
Balls of steel. I see what you did there.
@@craigd7333 That could be. Maybe considering how well-read he's always been in comics, and concerning with Superman, he's had the outline of this story for a way longer time. It just came the right moment and time to now making it into fruition
@@Jab-Cajun91 Thank you, sir. Glad someone’s paying attention 😉
James Gunn’s film works have been imo quite good. Super, GotG 1 & 2 (hopefully 3), The Suicide Squad.
And even his TV work for Peacemaker + The GotG Holiday Special….he’s right for the job. Can’t wait for his Superman.
Gunn’s Superman: Legacy doesn’t need to make a billion dollars. What it needs to do is get good reviews from critics and get the general audience on board with this new version of the character. If it does that, it will build a strong foundation for the new DCU. That’s the main issue with the DCEU, it started with Man of Steel which got bad reviews and divisively split audiences and it only went downhill from there with BvS and Suicide Squad. 3 stinkers in a row.
Letting James Gunn to do Superman is a smart decision. Going against this, is fucking stupid. Me as DC fan I can’t bring negativity to this guy that the movie will be a launch pad of the DCU and seeing new projects for the future. I’m not afraid to see what he’s creating.
Again. All-Star Superman
I hope for the very best for James Gunn & this new DCU, but it can sometimes be a red flag when an executive comes into an organization and feels that he/she is the only one capable enough to take on the key assignment(s) they’re supposed to oversee.
Exactly
I'm still on the fence about James Gunn doing superman. But I do think that at least his heart will be in the right place making the movie, after hearing about his late father getting him into reading comics. You could hear the passion for Gunn making this.
Sure thing, and I think Gunn understands how fundamentally different this character is compared to Guardians or Squad. Obviously, add that sense of aesthetic he's known to have, but under a nuanced approached. I fully believe he'll be able to top himself with Superman
I love how everyone hates on how serious Superman in modern times has gotten, and criticized the death of Zod. Just watch the end of the second film again; Superman crushes a defenseless Zod's hand into powder and then summarily executes him, allows the attempt to fly from Non the dumbass that gets him killed, and then Lois murders Ursa. The darkness of Man of Steel wasn't Superman killing Zod. It was Superman's battle killing (at minimum) thousands. Contrast that against Superman II where we get a crowd of angry Metropolis citizens marching to near certain death using melee weapons because (they believe) these three tyrants just killed Superman. You have essentially the same plot devices here, yet one is reminiscent of events like 9/11 and the humans are a distraction from the combat at best. The danger level is just as high in Superman II, but it's not bleak or depressing. And even shows how good people can be, that they'd see their savior lose and try to save or avenge him even though they all know they can't win. Something that helps justify this drive Superman has to save these people.
@@ianw0ng Exactly. Something the MCU learned to embrace to its success, and DC so far has not. Or at least, has not consistently managed to do, with a few rare exceptions.
Only thing I ask for is a joyful superman for TODAY. I don't want a superman that still feels like it's from the 70's
Incredibly hopeful for this movie - Time will tell and I think it will be a total breath of fresh air. These last two decades, globally we've all become a bunch of mopey misery guts. Not surprising with the world, politics and the 21st century changing. There was nothing wrong with the story and universe set by MoS - there's space for all sorts of universes and directorial perspectives, but right now I think we need to see a refreshing Superman. It's what the world needs right now - not just to appease the fanboys and girls. PS Remember when everyone was moaning about Daniel Craig being the next James Bond - and the producers didn't know what they were doing? This is where I see this heading - a refreshing change. I'm all for it!
I think James will do a good job.
I just hope there is a proper villain no Lex Luthor stuff as main villain I wanna see Superman fight and show his power
Its not about "Joy"
its about Hope & Wonder..
Jor-El made it easy and explained this on MOS.
Superman personifies it...
And there's a big difference.
When you guys throw out and say he needs to be "joyful" ..
Writers will just write him cheesy. 💯
Yeah right like James Gunn only writes his script after watching Campea
John, I can't unsee you in this Shazam costume.😂
I always thought James Gunn would direct this. This universe is his (and Peter Safran) baby. This film is the real intro to their plans…he has to set the tone.
I agree. Although, I hope that he only gets to have his direct hands involved with Superman only, and then let the other filmmakers bring their flavor into the other movies and shows, and him and Safran sticking as producers. There's only so much that he can do in the creative front that balancing a lot of characters would give him a burnt out, which I hope he doesn't
I agree with Robert here. People hate on Gunn, and some of the criticisms are valid, but come on give him a chance. I was skeptical myself, but when he tweeted about his Dad that really resonated with me. Yeah I know that soy or cringe but whatever. I’m excited for the future. I think DC needed a hard change if Snyderverse truly over.
My only main criticisms I have with James Gunn is that, while I highly applaud him on really being his own PR guy, and debunking fake stories and rumors from scoopers (boss move, btw), he has to manage better corporate communication skills.
He obviously comes from the creative background of filmmaking, so his direct engagement at being a movie-buff makes him a person in that area; but he has to limit that fan-engagement towards users because anything he said can be turn against him. And would make him look thin-skinned. He should take notes from Feige and even Jerry Bruckheimer to understand what its the role he's now undertaking
Drunk Superman, was the 3rd one Johnny😂
Started with Amirose and Dennis, then Krisily, Schnepp, Sinead, Ashley, Schmoes, Natasha, etc… Campea taught me to appreciate subjectivity
Also taught me to appreciate subjectivity, and learning to respect the opinions of others. We don't think the same, and that's ok
This means he doesn't have anyone who he can trust a project like this, so? DC still in trouble at finding the right directors/writers and talent.
Setting a threshold of $700 or $800 million is what's doomed everything to this point. Half of that should be a success.
Problem is budgets- when you spend 250+ million on a film the expectations have to be a bit insane- mid budget movies are just less and less common (probably because people are only really going to the theater for something that delivers spectacle, which feels fair to be honest)
Edit: I glanced at all of the highest grossing films of last year and the only film with a notably high gross and mid-tier budget is Minions the rise of gru with 80 mil budget and it grossed nearly a billion
@@BichaeldeAngelo I do understand this but it assumes that putting more money into a film will automatically yield higher box office numbers. Like most things I suspect that is true up to a point and then you get diminishing returns.
I think this will be Superman's Batman Begins. Christopher Reeve era was the Keaton era, then we got some Schumachers, and now he will be reborn again by a talented filmmaker. The praise this movie gets may have an unfair advantage of people liking it by default since it's (hopefully) so much better than the last outing.
This comment section is a cesspool and shows me time and time again why I hate most of the DC fandom, such a toxic place.
Have you seen the comments section in regards to the new Lord Of The Rings movies in another video here?, this is nothing, lol
Its okay... The people who defend Snyderverse don't understand film or how to make a good DC Superhero Movie.
Thats why I laugh when they get all upset lol
Ignore them. They never read one comic book and think Snyder is a good director.
@@GeekdomMOVIES I loved the entire Justice League trilogy (Wonder Woman included), I loved Guardians 1 & 2. I am excited for the new lineup of DC Studios just as much as I'm excited for Rebel Moon
A very rare breed, but trust me, we're not all the same
Now, I wonder how the soundtrack is going to be, because when you're heading into a James Gunn superhero movie, you better get ready for one epic soundtrack in it. One that note, if he doesn't include "Kryptonite" from 3 Doors Down in the trailer or at very least end credits, I won't give a movie a dime, lol 😂
That being said, it was obvious from a mile away that he was going to direct it, like, from day one when he was setting up to write it, him being at the director's chair was a no-brainer. He's the major co-lead and creative shepherd from the new DC Universe, and its from this iteration of the character that the new world will flesh out. That being said, I hope he highly knocks it out of the park. As much as I loved Man Of Steel, I can surely agree that Superman is in need for a sense of humoristic and joy balance, something that the tone of Guardians 1 really had. That essence of light, but neccesary seriousness in bringing it up. And I'm sure that James Gunn understands, and will narrow well into that balance. That being said, I will be day-one on full support of the new actor portraying him. The incoming toxicity will be inevitable, but I'll be highly open-minded
... and yes john I love the bar scene too from man of steel with the truck. The crowd I saw that with in the imax theater busted out laughing including me.
I never understand the humor behind that particular scene; it only strikes me as being cynical and cold since the tone is so grim I'm having a hard whether to grin awkwardly or facepalm (it doesn't have to be Marvel-level of 'Ha-Ha' to make that scene work though)
How did he smash that Truck without making a sound ?
It needs to feel _majestic_
"Why do you say this to me when you know I will kill you for it?" -Zod
Let's put an underwear back where it belongs...outside. and err ...don't kill a legacy will ya?!!! James Goner!!!
This might be an unpopular opinion but I don't think Gunn should be writing and directing this. Going by his track record with comic book films and television which is actually pretty good, I enjoyed Peacemaker and the first Guardians. But none of those wacky relatively unknown characters is Superman. From the outside looking in that makes me nervous simply as a fan of comics. Personally I'm not really on board with this New 52 type situation. I enjoyed how things were. I love Superman and Lois. I love Titans. I absolutely adore The Batman and I'm glad that series is still going to continue. The thing with DC comics is these characters work better in stand alone stories. I don't know what it is with modern Hollywood thinking everything needs to be connected or a "cinematic universe" but for DC I think it's the wrong angle at least right out the gate. The only project that was announced I can honestly say I'm excited for apart from The Batman Part 2 is the Green Lantern series.
Directors are able to do different kinds of genre
Definitely curious to see how he's going to approach the character. He's done brightburn, slither and guardians to name a few, very curious on his tone. I just hope he isn't hokey like Reeves Superman sometimes came off.
So, if Campea says Shazam, does that result into a wardrobe change? 😀
James Gunn doesn’t have the pedigree to make a classic Superman movie. That’s a job for Spielberg.
Bullshit
Admittedly he wasn’t my first choice but the more I thought about it the more I realized how great of a fit he is, because I think the main thing they’re gonna focus on bringing to this new Superman is a real sense of joy, because whether you love or hate Man Of Steel that was a very dark, somber movie, there weren’t really a lot of smiley moments in it, hell if you really think about it we haven’t seen a fun Superman since Superman IV, because both Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill were Supermen that were more dark and broody, and so I think that’s what James Gunn is gonna focus on, giving us a Superman movie that gives you the same sense of fun and joy that you would get watching a movie like say Jurassic Park or Adventures In Babysitting, which I’m excited to see because while I love Man Of Steel it’ll be cool to see a Superman movie where the tone is now on the other side of the spectrum, so I think this sounds like a great choice and I’m excited to see what James Gunn brings to the table with this movie
Wonderful discussion guys!
Is it just me or did i randomly find him and can’t stop watching?
I’ve watched every single day for the past year HAHAHHA
I've been watching for years
Here since 2012 lol
welcome to the club
we’ve got jackets
Been an avid viewer for 5yrs now.
I think Gunn will do a great job.
I thought John was wearing a blonde wig lol
David Corenswet as Superman.
James Gunn is the perfect guy to handle Superman Legacy. He gets the character and he is a comic book fan. I just hope a fun, great movie and respect to Superman. I want to see actual Superman. And he is using Morrison's and Byrne's Superman as inspiration, that is great old school Superman, perfect.
Classic superman was created by two Jewish guys.......
This artwork is NOT from all seasons. It’s all star..both great stories either way.
He’s gotta set the tone out the gate
That computer in Superman 3 gave me nightmares as a kid too‼️ I hated that movie because of it LOL
So people wanted a grounded Superman got one but did the complaint is too much destruction and killing yet the animation can have multiple buildings destroyed
@@randomcharacter6501 I get the and understand that which brings up a good point I think James Gunn superman will have him trying to save his father instead of having him die I seen that complaint as well I mean there are different versions of him being with his parents (earth parents) I just think a different take on something is nice rather than rehashing the same thing over again
I hate it when people think that any movie has to make a billion to be great or successful.
@racerx3673 did you not read my first comment? Just because it doesn't reach a billion doesn't mean it didn't make money PERIOD and who said anything like what you just said???? You're not making any sense.
Remember the sound Lurch made when he was Disgusted ? INSERT that HERE !! Got it ?
Bruh I thought u were cosplaying Virgin Mary
Testicular Fortitude? Good one John for Big Balls Lol
I have a feeling and expect a Christopher Reeve Style like Superman in 2025
I wish they make it like that...Superman should be charming and celebrated...not dark and gloomy.
Karen Gillan as Lois!
I believe that artwork is from All Star Superman not Superman for all seasons
Gunn needs to capture the same magic that Lois & Clark did
What ever Superman we get I hope he's inspiring and not depressing. He doesn't need to crack joke's every minute but he also doesn't need to be a serious bore. Find the middle ground and tell a good story and I'll be good.
It will be a very good movie.
Watch how quick Gunn gets burned out
Man this is gonna be good ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰Super can't wait
James gunn basically has made himself direct with max freedom, what a lucky smart ass
Well, if we see it from a direct point-of-view, he's probably the second filmmaker to strike a positive look at WB next to Nolan. TSS might have bombed at the B.O., but was highly well-received, and Peacemaker cemented on that success highly on HBO Max, which is what the brass of Discovery looked at from a creative standpoint. And we may say he's a lucky smart ass, but he's shown that well-enough with the two projects I just mentioned, and that's why David Zaslav enlisted him for DC Studios
YES!!!!!
Looking back it makes you wonder if Ben was having a major PTSD flashback during the Sad Affleck BVS interview….. he was probably all ready completely done then! 👀😬
PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
This is great! He’s such a talented storyteller and I can’t wait to see his take on a more joyful, kinder Superman
Gunn will also star in Superman: Legacy.
All-Star Superman, Rob. That's not For All Seasons.
Surely he can't fuck this up, I'm excited
God I hope he doesn't; there's too many great talents who often stumbles even if they try their best, and that's a gamble worth taking.
I'm super Henry Cavill man of steel fan but I'm superman fan in the first place so I'm excited finally we going to see superman in big screen I hope James version badass like Zack Snyder not goofy like Shazam
Man, I just hope they don't do a Reeve like Superman. While I loved the more serious tone in MoS, but I get if they want to go a tad lighter. A Superman TAS feel would be awesome. A serious Clark Kent, a serious Superman, but also positive and hopeful.
If its campy like the Reeve movies I won't see another Gunn led DC movie in the theaters ever again. I'll just catch it months later on streaming.
Bizzaro should be the villain and introduce Lex in the post credit scene
Wow wonder how he landed the gig 😂
That’s All Star Superman
All-Star Superman, Rob, not Superman: For All Seasons.
No best DC flicks were Aquaman and Man of Steel
I like James Gunn and I'm a fan of his work. But he's a studio head now and isn't part of his job to find the best candidates for the job? He should be focusing on the whole picture now instead of personal projects. At least until you have a few hits under your watch. But I guess at the end of the day as long as the movie is good, it's not like DCEU set the bar high or anything lol.
(All Star Superman btw)
That’s the literal reason why he accepted the position of “co-head”. So he can focus on the creative side. I don’t think him directing this movie will cause any problems.
I have never been more confident in a project in my life.
I’m curious how a co CEO goes about hiring himself. How does that work? How does he negotiate his pay? With Peter Safran?
If he’s a CEO he’s already making an exorbitant amount money. It was probably a stipulation of his contract when he officially became DCU CO-CEO
What more money does the guy needs? I bet with his CEO salary alone he will do more money in a year than the amount of money you and I combine will do in our lifetime. I'm not saying working for free, but come on, these guys already have enough.
He isnt ceo of WARNER
Are we going to see Jonathan kent
Why does Robert keep referring to Superman for All Seasons AND they keep showing the Cover for ALL STAR SUPERMAN!!!!
2 DIFFERENT BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Is Robert not aware? Is it the graphics person's mistake? Or does nobody in the show know the difference!!!!😤
Calm down
I hope Superman: Legacy makes lots and lots of bank, but I'd be happy if it performs like Batman Begins. Batman Begins was not a huge, massive, financial success, but it did well enough to get a sequel. You may have heard of the sequel since it did over $1 billion worldwide. Yep. The Dark Knight is a sequel to a movie that got nowhere near the billion dollar mark.
Gotta say, nothing that has come out of this new dceu has me excited that it can be salvaged
Nothing has came out yet?
@@riopeynado3959 No not yet
I’m talking about all the announcements they have made. They’ve had plenty.
@@HistorySkate Yeah nothing from the announcements has been made yet
@@NoahAG I’m saying none of their announcements are exciting.
I'd love it if James Gunn got the cinematographer from Bones and All to shoot the new Superman movie
That would be awesome
🙏🙏🙏
Will Reeve needs to be the next farm boy.
Well, he isn't playing Superman, but he's in the movie
Not to goddamn nitpick, but that’s All-Star Superman, not For All Seasons.
An ad 😊d every 90 seconds....really ?
If you're not on mobile, ad blocker is amazing
They're gonna cast a new clark kent... Are they gonna cast a new Superman too ?
I absolutely hate MOS. That truck scene is a huge reason why.
@@WhatsNextVideos Barely.
@@WhatsNextVideos troll
Great... Another hater
@@WhatsNextVideos and what’s comic accurate about a superman that would destroy a truck and a military satellite to teach a lesson? A superman that causes destruction and death in Metropolis without giving two shits. A superman that says lines like “no one stays good in the world.” Using a comic accurate and MOS in the same sentence is the definition of an oxymoron.
I’m worry now with his depiction of Superman
Bright burn is the best superman movie
John Campea cosplays as Jesus Christ's mother in a Shazam costume.
Contrary to John, they must cast not only a good actor, but the right TYPE of person as well. I'm in favor of Will Reeve, but admittedly I don't know if he has the acting chops to pull it off.
I was hoping The Daniels were gonna be chosen to direct esp after their Oscar win, but seems about right for Gunn to direct after writing it. Hope we get more info at Comic Con
Nah, I rather don't. Sometimes, whenever they try to get the early indie darling for huge projects, their careers get a hiccup. Look at Josh Trank and Marc Webb (though he's had more breakthroughs recently).
Also, they're currently now signed up for Universal in a big five-year movie deal, which they signed on about a month after Everything Everywhere
I’ve already had a title in mind if I was making a superman original movie and the title would be superman the first flight
And you didn’t like Wonder Woman 2
live action ninja turtles in the new dc the dcu today now yes 🤩🤩
I don't wanna play the "hater" card here, but I really don't believe that this is good news, at least yet. It's more like intriguing news. Yes, James has had success in several films but those were CERTAIN KIND OF STORIES WITH CERTAIN KIND OF CHARACTERS. And also yes, superman the movie shouldn't be a blueprint for this new upcoming movie but frankly I think it's gonna be somehow. We don't need another superman movie which character sort of resembles the figure of Christopher Reeve but WB and DC apparently keep doing that, so what would be the point??
They didn’t though. MOS and BvS were Snyder’s attempts to make the character ‘realistic’ which ended up being a train wreck of an adaptation
@@mrbluesky4838 I don't believe those movies were train wreck. MOS was fine and great just like BvS. But the problem with BvS was that, as a movie, it tried to do too much and too many things and I don't think Snyder is responsible for that, it's the studio itself that wanted to do things too quickly
The Christopher reeves Superman isn’t the inspiration for Legacy. All star Superman, and Superman for all seasons are.
@@iambuhlockay8007 I know, I'm taking about how the studios keep eventually making the next version of superman "to be" or resembling the figure of Reeve. Smallville did it during the last 3 seasons, superman returns, the arrowverse, even superman & lois at some point did it as well. So what's the point of marking new movies if eventually they all will somehow "copy" the Reeve's version?
@@lincoln2324 Nobody is copying the Reeves version. That’s just who Superman is.
Me and my son like your shazam outfit my son Has been looking for one and black Adam outfit .later on
Jmes Gunns Superman is going to have great music guaranteed, and knowing James Superman will have the red underwear in the 1st movie!
He better include "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down, or else, I ain't watching it, haha 😂
I’m the state
It just needs $999 Million.
