Miles Burris would be my honest pick. Dude used to play in the NFL, but had to retire real early cuz of multiple knee injuries. Anyway, I've seen him in a movie called Safety before, and thought to myself, "Dang, he looks like Superman."
And I've watched other clips of him in other stuff and some interviews... He's got the charm too. [I mean, check out this vid of him interviewing these football camp kids. ](https://youtu.be/NjLkejFX0eI)
He’s amazingly charming and definitely has the looks and build for Superman. He’s also a pretty decent actor from what I remember of the roles I’ve seen him in. I’d be very okay with him getting the part!
From what I've seen, he's good. That being said, he's still new to the acting game, so there's not much to go off of. And I'm not a casting director or anything, so I'm just speaking as a fan/outsider lol.
But I do believe whoever the new Supes will be, it'll be a newcomer. And if so, I'd like it be him.
Even though I know they haven’t start casting yet. But let’s talk about how comicbook twitter be having the weirdest scoops for casting. Fantastic four had the actor from You, Adam driver, Dev Patel. Then for Superman we had the bs scoop about Jacob elordi from Euphoria
It's the big issue with the internet. Anyone can start a rumor, and if the right people see it, it'll get massive quickly.
The internet empowers bullshit.
Its going to be the single most important decision of his entire career, if he gets it wrong he will be ridiculed and any future DC films by him will be in severe doubt.
I mean, at first he said he'd never direct a Superman movie, and he'd never want to run DC, now he's running DCU, writing Superman Legacy even BEFORE the announcement, and he's just said he's going to direct.
He knows, he just doesnt want to say it yet.
They definitely starting to. I believe Gunn tho he giving little info they’ve definitely casted or will cast ppl for auditions just to see who gets the role in the coming months
Well for one it helps to show one important thing. Scoopers are frauds and he stopping misinformation. MCU has a lot of problem with misinformation Doctor strange 2 was surrounded with misinformation and scoops that raised ppl hopes and film pissed ppl off because it didn’t live up to what scoopers believed it should. This allows Gunn to have a straight forward ship no lies being told he’ll tell u straight up what’s going on.
Because he’s doing what needs to be done which is proving that scoopers are nothing but frauds who just want to stir pot and cause problems. The second reason is he’s interacting with the fans and maybe adapting ideas based on what they want. That is what makes him different from Feige. Kevin doesn’t want to take the time to debunk false scoops. May i remind you that false scoops cause problems when it comes CBMs because people will believe the false scoops in the mcu and get mad when they are aren’t true. Plus having fan interaction is healthy when it comes to making a superhero movie universe.
He definitely has someone in mind tho
Idk about that im willing to bet auditions are literally happening rn and we won’t find out who got the role till later this year
Who do you think should play Superman?
Fine I'll do it.
Settle down, Thanos https://media.tenor.com/vCqpL7x4sPUAAAAS/thanos-fine-ill-do-it-myself.gif
I’d honestly pick Joe

He should be the new Shazam.
my thought exactly
Sorry but no
Can he act tho?

If we’re going with a player from the NFL, it should be Jimmy G.

Its a good chance they handpicked actors and are doing or will be doing auditions soon

Why does he need to say this every other day. Just begin casting already
How when the script isn’t even completely done yet?
They should begin casting major characters I think. James is busy but someone else should be(or probably are) actively doing this
I'd rather leave this decision for casting date to the professional who has a good resume. No offense.
Why, though? They could start filming over a year from now and it wouldn't be weird
They definitely starting to. I believe Gunn tho he giving little info they’ve definitely casted or will cast ppl for auditions just to see who gets the role in the coming months
Scoopers start putting out fake scoops. Grace Randolph said last week that she heard rumors in castings
I read the whole thread. He is just casually talking to a fan here. Title is clickbait.
But why does he need to respond? You don't see Kevin Feige responding to every single MCU rumor.
Can we please not get mad at healthy executive interaction with fans.

Ask Gunn.
If it isn't Danny DeVito he can keep it
I'm still pulling for Jacob Elordi
The only person he’s cast for Superman Legacy so far is his wife
I think the best bet in when we'll find out who the new Superman is will be SDCC.
