Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie big surprise James Gunn just came right out and said who the new Superman is going
to be in Superman Legacy so we'll break it all down he also announced the new Lois Lane they're
still casting Lex Luthor right now but we do have a pretty close idea about who it's going
to be and there are a couple really solid picks that they're looking at you got the part yes yes
if you're brand new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos obviously I'll
be doing videos for Superman legacy as we get more news about the movie and what's happening
with James Gunn's new rebooted DCU the DC movies I will address what's happening with The Flash
movie because that's meant to sort of tie a bow on what's happening with the Snyder
versus movies but the big news that you probably literally just saw in your feeds the last couple
of minutes is that David Cornswet is going to be the next Superman in Superman Legacy he's
been my number one pick for the last couple of months while they announced that this was going
to happen once James Gunn announced that he was going to recast Henry Cavill with a new version
of Superman everybody was looking at David corin's but there were a couple other people on the list
but for the most part he looked and he felt like the part and a big part of that is actually a bit
of a change from Henry Cavill Superman is how much more they're leaning on the Clark Kent side of the
character there was some Clark Kent that we saw from Henry Cavill but for the most part you saw
him as Superman in the Snyder versus movies like Man of Steel Batman v Superman in the Justice
League Snyder cut this is a really good example of what David cornswets Clark Kent feels like to me
it's not about the notoriety it's about the craft it's about showing up to work every day you know
and for a super that can mean sorry a what in many ways we contribute to the reality of the scene
even more so than the principal actors but hey I've got a casting tomorrow and if they pick me
that's ten dollars in my pocket did exactly what we're doing now they're going through tons and
tons of actors to see who captures that Spirit the thing they don't talk about much when they talk
about Christopher they talk about his pureness his hope his goodness they talk about you know
the way that he plays Clark as being so different from the way he plays Superman and how he can turn
that on in an instant nothing bye frisky long now but there's this playfulness about Superman this
when he's saving a cat he's got that wry smile and that is one of the best parts of the movie is the
playfulness of Superman he enjoys what he's doing he likes helping human beings anyway right off the
bat that totally feels like what you would expect Clark Kent to sound like and look like just put
a pair of glasses on him a couple years ago he'd also been asked about Superman other big superhero
movies and talked a little bit about what the character meant to him and this was back when
Henry Cavill was still expected to continue to be Superman when they were still planning
on making Man of Steel too even then it sounded like David corns but understood the character on
a fundamental level and to boot even though we're talking about recasting Henry Cavill everyone's
kind of sad to see him go I would have wanted to see Man of Steel too just because of what they had
planned for that with Brainiac but doesn't he look like he could be Henry cavill's younger brother
so when Henry Cavill said that he was not going to be Superman anymore but there were talks about him
possibly coming back in the future maybe for like a crisis on infinite Earth movie they could also
bring him back as just the older version of David cornsworth's Superman and I don't think they're
gonna plan to do that anytime soon it's still going to be many years before James Gunn works up
to the end of his DC Phase One which are calling DC chapter one The whole idea with this version
of Superman is that he's meant to be kind of like an early Superman Superman Year too the same way
they did Robert Pattinson's Batman as Batman year two like not at origin story but very early in his
days as the character very early after he started to wear the cape and cow they also just confirmed
Rachel Brosnahan as the new Lois Lane which is a bit of a surprise she was one of my original
picks but when they said that they were testing the actors out the past couple of weeks they said
that David cornsworth's audition had been paired up with Emma Mackey because they were testing
Superman and Lois Lane Clark Ken and Lois Lane together to see what their chemistry was like
so a lot of people myself included assumed that David korinswet would be their pick for Superman
meaning that Emma Mackey would potentially be their Lois Lane but now it sounds like they like
his chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan better charges her portrayal of what they want their Lois Lane
to be or what James Gunn wants his lowest Lane to be recently James Gunn also talked a little
bit about what Superman as a character meant to him how fundamentally how he viewed the character
and it sounds like he really does understand the dichotomy between Clark Kent and Superman because
a lot of people talk about this when they're talking about the differences between Batman
and Superman when you're talking about the Batman character the whole idea is that Batman is who he
really is Bruce Wayne is the mask that he puts on when he's out in public he pretends to be Bruce
Wayne he really is Batman whereas with Superman it's reversed Clark Kent is who he really is when
he's just walking around being normal Superman is the mask that he puts on and even though there was
some humor with Henry cavill's version of Superman I do feel like that was a much more serious much
more grounded version of Superman that was the whole point and one of the big differences with
James Gunn's Superman Legacy movie is that when the events of the movie pick up superheroes will
already exist like metahumans will already exist in the world whereas during the Man of Steel movie
it was sort of like an introduction to the whole concept of aliens like oh my God aliens are real
then you started to see all these metahumans proliferate the rest of the Justice League
characters with powers one of the other big details about Superman Legacy is supposedly
the authority group is going to show up during this Abdullah already exists during the events
of the movie because James got said they're going to do a movie based on the Authority for those of
you that wanted to see those characters in live action max is a big movie called The Authority The
Authority is a passion project of mine it's based on The Marvelous Wild Storm characters we are now
bringing into the DCU and will interact with all of our primary DCU characters The Authority
are a group of superheroes who think the world is broken and they want to fix it by any means
necessary I think it's a very different look at superheroes when we get more details about
the actual plot I'll do more videos about that it's still pretty early days he's still casting
out the movie they're still looking at their Lex Luthor right now too and it sounds like it might
end up being Bill Skarsgard he sounds like their lead pick but the funny thing is is he's actually
testing against his brother Alexander Skarsgard Skarsgard into the Skarsgard verse their father
Stellan Skarsgard is on Andor right now probably gave one of the best speeches in all of Star Wars
history what's going on right now with the Flash movie Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 because those are
still coming out this year we just got The Flash movie is it the supposedly using The Flash movie
to sort of tie a bow on the Snyder verse because at the end of the movie The Flash changes history
again causing the timelines to overlap causing a slightly less of a spaghetti mess but still
a bit of a mess he winds up in the Clooney verse and overlapping with some of the things from the
original Justice League DC EU like this Aquaman is meant to be the original Aquaman from the DC
EU so he has the same Powers same backstory and it sounds like the events of Aquaman 2 will then
take place in this reality so we're no longer in that original DC EU Snyder verse and because
the box office of The Flash is so low it sounds like like there won't be any chance of a sequel
I just did a video about deleted scenes alternate endings with Henry Cavill Superman other Justice
League characters Ben Affleck's Batman plans that they had for the sequel like reverse flash
the other flash Rogues I'll put a link for that in the description below but it sounds like what
will happen is that when James Gunn eventually does do a new version of The Flash inside his
DCU it'll just be a completely recast version of the character which I think everybody is fine with
just start fresh totally new actor you could even do a version of Wally West the next big thing is
obviously figuring out what's going on with Batman brave in the Bold in the new version of Batman
they're going to cast the older version of Batman with the younger Damian Wayne the introduction of
the dcu's Batman is the Brave and the Bold the Brave and the Bold is the story of Batman and
his actual son Damien Wayne this is based on Grant Morrison's great comic book run Damien Wayne is my
favorite Robin he's a little assassin who Batman tries to get in line and so this is the story of
the two of them and the beginning of sort of the bat family in the DCU Andy muschietti is still
supposed to be directing that I feel like even though the Flash movie bombed and everybody's kind
of bummed out about that one of the best things about the movie is the way he did his versions
of Batman like the way he treated Ben Affleck's Batman the way he filmed Michael Keaton's Batman
those felt like really solid parts of the film like it was his test run to show James Gunn oh
you know how to do a Batman movie with a bunch of money so here you go you do Batman brave in
the Bold everyone just let me know in the comments though what do you think about David Cornswet is a
version of Superman obviously his Clark Kent seems like it's going to be pretty solid but now we need
to see what he's going to look like as actual Superman he's definitely got the build for it
I feel like he could bulk up Henry Cavill was way smaller before the events of Man of Steel and even
Ben Affleck said that when they started doing Batman v Superman together he actually started
working out with Henry Cavill to try and teach him how to bulk up even more so if you wonder
why Henry Cavill got so much bigger between Man of Steel and Batman v Superman and then the Justice
League movie and obviously The Witcher series is sounds like he owes a lot of that to Ben Affleck's
help but I'm not expecting David cornsworth to get quite as big as Henry Cavill Superman remember
this is also supposed to be a younger version of the character so slightly less powerful the whole
idea with kryptonians is that the longer they live the more powerful they get the more solar
radiation they absorb so you would expect the older version of the character like the Henry
Cavill version of the character to be much bigger much more powerful there's a bunch more stuff
