SUPERMAN by James Gunn (Coming 2025)

[King Static X]

Every action results in an equal or opposite reaction.

And the ignore button is your friend, king. Use it or stop being a bytch about everything. If u can stan relentlessly then i can hate.

And I care that's why I asked. That shyt looked stupid af. I don't want Lois lane being a hero flying a ship around. Seems like they got way too many heros up in this flick to begin with. But I guess I will wait and hope its not as dumb as it looked.

Ironic considering you seem to "b!tch" about everything

Anyway, even with your hate-watching, WB/DC will gladly take your money

This might be the one brehs

Touche

 

[TheSuperkick!]

Damn, all of the actresses in the movie are fine

Gunn loves fine ass women!

 

[The War Report]

Movie looks dope to me. Full of color. Not like them Synder films that be all saturated and void of any life.

 

[StatUS]

Very comic booky. Looks good.

 

[Brozay]

should we be concerned that they had to scrap the episodic/day by day formula and pivot to something else or are last minute changes like that common?

 

[Primetime]

Although it was a lot of the same footage from past trailers, kinda felt they were revealing a bit too much with the Lex audio

 

[MushroomX]

Lex in the new trailer acting like a pure psycho, "Fine, let them die."

Also I am happy that Edi Gathegi getting a chance to do a proper Superhero film, unlike X-Men: First Class.

Happy to see breh eating. I first saw him in Justified and loved his character in there. Been cool seeing him pop up in random shyt throughout the years.

 

[Rekkapryde]

showing too much

 

[Supa]

I aint gon hold you. Its some Gunn-isms in there that the other trailer didn't have. Also the CG is a little shaky.

I said after the first trailer that it looked a little too cartoonish. Some of the CG in this new trailer looking like Spy Kids

That guy getting punched and breaking the 4th wall with the teeth hitting the camera was the type of silly stuff I didn't want Gunn to do. That's a Looney Tunes level gag

I had read it a couple times around twitter and elsewhere by these comic movie "insiders" that typical have decent info on these movies

‘Superman’ Scraps Episodic Structure as James Gunn Refines Film’s Tone Ahead of Release — World of Reel

It appears James Gunn has decided to scrap Superman’s episodic title cards during the editing process. The film has been turned into a continuous, single narrative in the final edit.

That said, one of the more intriguing elements in the version shown to test audiences was its structure—unfolding over the span of a week in an episodic format, complete with title cards like “Monday,” “Tuesday,” “Wednesday,” and so on. However, according to The Hot Mic, it appears James Gunn has decided to scrap that approach during the editing process. The film has been turned into a continuous, single narrative in the final edit.

it might not be as pronounced as I had thought though and perhaps they just removed the title cards naming the day of the week that was being chronicled and not the overall structure?



as I understand "world of reel" is considered a reliable source, they also reported that Gunn cut out some of his trademark "humor" based on uneven reactions from early screenings

‘Superman’ Faced Major Changes After Test Screenings — Reshoots, Less Humor, Shorter Runtime, New Editor & Composer — World of Reel

Tensions are high at Warner Bros., where CEO David Zaslav and DC Studios leads James Gunn and Peter Safran are scrutinizing every frame to avoid another franchise misfire.

www.worldofreel.com

Sources close to the production say the film received a mixed reception at earlier test screening, triggering a cascade of changes. Gunn’s original cut apparently leaned heavier on humor—something the execs weren’t entirely sold on. In response, several comedic beats were cut, trimming down both tone and runtime.

maybe these changes are normal, but it all seems rather close to the movies release for me

I do think cutting down on the humor would be a good move though, esp after we saw it really dumb down a movie like Thor: Love & Thunder. You want some laughs, but it shouldnt be a major tone setter in these movies IMO
