If this comic portrait in the tweet is an indication of the mood of Gunn's version of Superman, then we are indeed in for a huge departure from Snyder's "real world" version. There's a lot of joy here. Sadly, Henry Cavill alluded to wanting to portray Superman this way before he was dumped.

The fact that my next Superman does the same kinda of geeky shit I do in MY car makes me way too happy. pic.twitter.com/6vxJyqnbHA

I still want Henry Cavill to appear out of nowhere and snap this guy's neck. No offense to this guy.TCTTS said:The fact that my next Superman does the same kinda of geeky shit I do in MY car makes me way too happy. pic.twitter.com/6vxJyqnbHA

This is how you treat a fellow Star Wars fan? Or is jealousy that it appears he might actually be a more passionate fan than even you?
Dude. I can recite 4-6 from memory. No soundtrack required. The super man is nothing of the sort.

What a weird thing to say.
I still say the best Superman after Christopher Reeves was Tim Daly in Superman: The Animated Series.

No deal is done, but talks had been in the works before the strike. Nicholas Hoult had previously thrown his hat in the ring for the role of #Superman https://t.co/iCIHKycgiT

If you've seen The Favourite or The Great, you know Hoult is capable of playing a fantastic assh*le. Can't wait to see what he does with the role here.
He is going to KILL it as Lex in Gunn's version of Superman.

They should make it that Lex's origin story is just the movie "About a boy"
Now that Nicholas Hoult has bagged a major villain role in the DCU, we can laugh about him missing out on Batman and Superman. He’s in good company. pic.twitter.com/KcLBlUfoLG

From Jeff Sneider's latest newsletter...
Quote:
With the three main roles now cast along with a handful of other superheroes, the question now turns to who will play characters such as Ma and Pa Kent, as well as Superman's father, Jor-El.
It has also been rumored that Lois Lane's father, General Sam Lane, will also make an appearance. Paging Michael Rooker…
There are also less credible rumors out there that Brainiac is the primary villain, who would obviously need to be cast as well, but I'm wondering if Luthor/Hoult + a smattering of other minor superheroes (The Authority, etc) are likely it this go around, in terms of villains, and then Gunn saves Brainiac for a potential sequel.
Superman For All Seasons is such a great story
Who I'd like to see:
Jor-El: Daniel Craig
Pa Kent: Ethan Hawke
Ma Kent: Reese Witherspoon
Jor-El: Daniel Craig
Pa Kent: Ethan Hawke
Ma Kent: Reese Witherspoon

Childhood in About a boy, becomes an adult during Skins, now is Lex

Crowe and Costner will be tough to beat, but Hawke, especially, would be nails.
Though, I'd like to see Gunn swing even bigger for Jor-El, assuming he's even in the movie. Like a massive, massive star.

Bradley Cooper
Tom Cruise
Also from the newsletter...
Quote:
Gunn has long wanted a movie star to play Lex Luthor, and he's believed to have discussed the role with Bradley Cooper during the press tour for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but in the end, he returned to Hoult, who very nearly played Batman for director Matt Reeves. He's been on DC's radar for years…
Cruise would be amazing.
The meta narrative of Hoult having lost the role to Corenswet adds so much to this casting dynamic. Gunn could not have planned it better if he tried. Lex going off on Superman is going to be so much fun…

Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor
I love these two castings so much. pic.twitter.com/UzdFIbLCz1
Honestly I'd be good with a Superman movie that features 0 of those characters.TCTTS said:
