Henry Cavill quits as Superman? ... Update: he might be back

[Cowboyinexile]

Any bets on the new Superman? Hopefully it's Shia LaBeouf.

It's gonna be this guy

You were joking, but Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. is seriously considering Michael B. Jordan (Human Torch on the Fant4stic Fantastic Four reboot and Killmonger on Black Panther) to replace Henry Cavill as Superman, and fanshops are already coming out on the Internet:

That'd really put Marvel in a bind since Black Panther isn't even a top 200 comic book character

 

[The Q]

Michael Rosenbaum nailed Lex Luthor perfectly IMO. LL should be a brilliant, arrogant Alpha who can't stand the thought of another man he can never compare to. It makes no sense to portray him as a grumpy old guy

I would also say smallville had the best portrayal of Lois lane.

Far more likeable than any incarnation outside of the animated one, Dana Delaney was awesome as cartoon lois.

Casting for the show was amazing. Perfect Jonathan Kent as well and Lionel was the bomb IMO. Tom Welling was fine as Clark, though I never really saw him as Superman

Did Lionel even exist pre-Smallville?

I know they created Chloe, who has since been added to comic book canon. Isn’t it the same for Lionel?

Yes he was made up like Chloe.

But they gave him lex’s comic background, including killin his parents for the insurance money.

Although he’s had other versions but most are him growing up in suicude slum

Agreed. Great cast.

There is no comparison for welling as it hasn’t really been done long term before, but he was fine.

They just wrote Clark and Lana rather poorly at times

 

[The Q]

Seasons 5 and 7 were abysmal.

Lex/Lana never should’ve happened. It put the entire show at risk.

Frankly Lana should’ve left for Paris after season 4 knowing Clark’s secret at the end of season 3, and then never came back....at least as a main character

Cavill would suck as Bond.

I'd rather they keep Craig in the role into his 70s.

Craig is an awesome Bond. Problem is that he wants to move on.

Craig is an awesome Bond. Problem is that he wants to move on.

Casino Royale and Skyfall are probably among my absolute favorite Bond films.

Craig is great, no doubt, but he's probably about at the age to move on.

No one wants another Roger Moore scenario where it was basically Weekend at Bernies for at least two films.

Not cryptic (Kryptic??). Just opportunistic click bait.

So, The Story on Superman: We're hearing that Henry Cavill will fulfill his final contractual obligation as Superman in a post credits scene in Shazam. This will be WB's way of judging audience engagement with Cavill as the Man of Steel. #Superman #Shazam #DCFilms pic.twitter.com/CVc2XEESy8

you can name 200 better comic book characters than Black Panther?

I am not certain I could name 200 other Marvel characters, period.

Before he was added to the MCU in Civil War, I would have rated him probably top 15.

Off the top of my head, Marvel characters bigger than Black Panther pre-CA:CW...

Wolverine
Hulk
Spidey
Ironman
Deadpool
Thor
Captain America
Prof X
Jean Grey
Cable
Punisher
Daredevil
Ghost Rider
Fantastic 4 (no single character was bigger than BP, but the group property was probably bigger)

That made him a fringe top-15, imho...

BP movie was asinine. He's on the list of just another crappy character. So wherever that ranks him.

Black Panther isn’t terrible but he is essentially a crappy version of Robin. He isn’t a stand alone character, which is why in Avengers the character was awesome but by himself it isn’t worth a movie.

But overall comic book characters I am sure there are 200 better heroes and villains combined that are better characters. He’s not even remotely close to as good of a character as Blade yet that was a ground breaking character and movie yet is all forgotten because of a character that isn’t even really a sidekick, more of a bad ass back ground character.

Fantastic 4, the hulk, Spider-Man, and X-Men were Marvels biggest 4...

then I would say Daredevil and Iron man is a close 5 and 6...
