What kind of "qualifier" are you running with here? What's "A-list" ? The Captain America movie did just that. The Captain Marvel movie (after the first one did over a billion) just scraped by to $200M.
You're full of shyt. Nobody should take you seriously

If an ironman 4 sequel starring Robert Downey Jr was greenlit, box office wise, it would shyt all over a Superman movie, Batman movie, Justice League, whatever. Shut your fanboy having ass up. The stich is old now nikka

For whatever reason superman doesn't bank like that.
Superman Returns was just rehashing the Reeve films which didn't work.

Man of Steel was trying to be like the Nolan Batman trilogy but with Zack Snyder at the helm instead of Nolan. So that was doomed to fail.

Returns was just boring and dull. Bad timing for both movies maybe. MoS isn't terrible. Could've built off it but they rushed the bvs. Doomed it imo.

Superman doesn't need to make a billie and superhero movies currently in 2024/5 have not really done that. Critically will be more important but if it can go to 600m or more that's definitely a success.

Not gon lie the main actors don't look like they belong in the big screen. They give off cw vibes to me:yeshrug:

Might be to keep the budget down since this looks cgi heavy so u cant start them off with RDJ deals. The action and effects should be the star. I loved
MOS but i wont let that hold me back from liking this

They posted a behind-the-scenes video, and there are actually more practical effects in this movie than you would expect.

Of course, there's plenty of CGI, but not nearly as much as something like Ant-Man 3, for example.

This movie is full of villains making their first time debuts:ehh:Lex the only recurring and he has to be he's the linchpin.

Luthor is the check that keeps Superman balanced. Without him, it just becomes a monster punch fest. Luthor is needed to tell Superman's full story.

I know I know, I'm just sick of seeing his bald headed whiney ass. "Superman shouldn't exist! Superman shouldn't exist! waaahh waahhh wah!" It'd be like seeing Thanos try to do the same shyt in literally every other Marvel movie.

This movie is going to do well. I think after nearly 20 years of bored a$$hole superman I think people will like to see a version of the character that feels relatable and interesting.

By showing superman getting beaten up and needing help, he's adding the suspense that has been missing. One of the biggest criticisms of superman is that hes a boring hero that has so many powers and so few weaknesses that people don't care because he's never in any real danger.

He wants to invert that and make a superman movie where you feel bad for him at times and actually WANT him to get up and keep trying after he gets knocked down. A version of the character that doesn't give up and keeps fighting even when it seems like he doesn't have a chance of winning. He's supposed to represent the absolute best side of humanity. Someone who gets upset at the fact that he has power and can save people but it's impossible to be everywhere at once. Someone who can be hated but still want to do the right thing because he can't live with himself knowing he was in a position to save lives and he didn't. Superman is supposed to represent hope. I never felt ANY sense of hope from the Snyder superman.
