    James Gunn (Co-CEO of DC Studios) returns to the pod this week to talk about his takeover of the new DC content slate, the differences between DC and Marvel, and all the pressure that comes with creating a new Superman film. James goes back and discusses the impact that creating Guardians of the Galaxy had on his career and how ‘allowing himself to give a s***’ was a large catalyst to its success. We also talk about embarrassing Chris Pratt moments, whether or not there are too many superhero films, and the future of Superman’s bald headed villain.

    The biggest problem with the casting of Superman for his project is he'll have a target on his back the moment he signs on. Henry Cavill was genuinely an amazing Superman and fans loved him and then he got screwed over by the WB studio. The next guy is going to have to follow THAT and will come with baggage that's not his fault the moment he signs on.
    People will still be bitter over how a truly amazing Superman was dumped by the studio and will take that out on the next guy.

    • @fredsorre6605
      @fredsorre6605 11 месяцев назад +49

      look Henry Cavill wasn't given a fair shake as Superman his take was dark and broody which was not the Superman a whole lot of people wanted to see and that has been the version of Superman that we had with all the Snyderverse movies all the blame goes to Zack Snyder here as he wanted to make a Batman movie but he was dumped with Superman so he turned Superman in to a pseudo Batman instead.What James Gunn is talking about here is that he wanted to deliver a close to perfect portrayal of Superman and your right whomever he chooses will be compared non stop to Henry Cavill up until the movie comes out but I really hope he delivers on that promise.

    • @tboneforreal
      @tboneforreal 11 месяцев назад +21

      Yes, but it's not like that is new. Robert Pattison got similar criticism when he was cast as Batman cause all people could see in their head was the Twilight character was going to be Batman, not the actor. You're right that the criticism of whomever they pick to play Superman won't be fair, but the way you counter it is to do the job well by staying true to the character while also making it uniquely their version. If you play the character well, the criticism instantly goes away.

    • @funguy8801
      @funguy8801 11 месяцев назад +12

      Whatever the reasons were, whether it was due to a lack of charisma from the actor, or because of the poor writing and direction. The fact is, that to most people, Henry Cavill's Superman, has not set a high bar to beat. Most people don't even regard that as a genuine incarnation of the Superman character. Therefore, so long as the casting, writing and direction are all on the same page of wanting to genuinely do the character justice, whoever they cast, doesn't have to do all that much to deliver a more authentic portrayal. Now, if they were aiming for improving upon Christopher Reeve's performance, that would be something else altogether, a much harder challenge to overcome.

    All I ask is that Routh be given a role. It doesn’t have to be Jor-El or Perry or something, still too young for Jonathan (imo), but just a nod to a changing of the guard.
    And I haven’t watched it yet, but Cudlitz as Luthor? Just think about it!
    Mike did great on any number of military characters, overshadowed the titular “Clarice”, which was quietly cancelled by cbs, and was willing to go “dolphin smooth” for S&L, and he’d do a great Lex on the big screen, too.

His Fortress of Solitude helps block out the noise of the world so he can have moments of quiet rest. I think James Gunn can pull it off and Yes' Rosenbaum played the best Lex so far.
