Told ya. They screwed it up.
Well, I don’t know if they screwed it up yet, but if they’ve made changes to what the virus does to people, that’s already one hope dashed.

“Like a turd… in the wind…”
Their chokehold on the Spidey IP and their need to pump out abysmal side-character movies that should be related to Spider-Man, but arent really frustrates me (especially since they’re so successful with the masses) – I did enjoy the Venom films though. Haven’t seen the 3rd yet.
Hopefully they’ve realized they actually need to pony up and make a good damn movie with this character, or actually collab with the MCU to get any sort of lasting traction.
Hell, Spider-Verse is doing amazing so far. I’m surprised they haven’t cashed in on a live-action Miles or SpiderGwen movie. 
…unless this movie makes a Kravillion dollars next week, we’ll see…??

I was originally thinking it would be a show which is why I posted it in the tv show discussion thread when I saw it this morning but now that I’ve noticed that 2027 is when it will release I agree that it could be a movie

Too much, too soon. Does nobody know how to make a first entry in a Superman series?
Someone let me know when this version of the DC universe also fails and they reboot it yet again. Zero confidence or interest at this point.

I don’t know.
From the amount of things going on, I think they are going for an All Star Superman vibe.
Movie less about an antagonist and its unravelling plot.
More about peripeties happening and what they show about Superman and his character. Presumably with a red thread and resolution, but a more intimate one.
A story that is the beginning of a new Superman series needs to begin with Superman as the only super-powered being in the story, taking on what humanity has to test him against, displaying the nature and extent of his superiority over humanity. This is usually accomplished by Lex Luthor being the antagonist with his intelligence and resources.
This is one of the reasons why Man of Steel set a poor precedent for the DCEU to come, as it immediately threw Superman against other super-powered beings, with the fact that they were other Kryptonians to boot just being plain laziness or incompetence.
For this one, even if he’s not up against other super-powered beings, he’s still in the presence of other super-powered beings (I spotted at least three in that trailer), and that takes the focus off of Superman. For a follow-up, anything goes, but the establishing story needs to have Superman’s powers be the only powers.

Meanwhile A24 continues its streak.
Always like some ensemble cast in a single location movie:

Knowing DC? I think all we have to do is wait a year or two.

Apple TV movie The Gorge, coming Valentine’s Day.
Don’t know how it’s gonna go, but the premise looks pretty awesome to me, and actually seems like something M. Night Shamalan would come up with.
An American man and a Russian woman, both professional snipers, are enlisted by their respective governments to go to a classified, secluded location for one year. Both are set up in large concrete towers in the middle of a forest, and between the towers, an enormous mist-filled gorge in the earth. There is no contact with the outside world, contact between the two occupants in the two towers is forbidden, and both are given loads of weapons, and enough food and ammunition to last a year.
Their mission: to keep watch over the gorge, and shoot anything that tries to come out of it. And therein lies the twist: something inhuman is living at the bottom of that gorge, and cannot be permitted to leave. A single shot of some kind of clawed hand is the only clue shown in the trailer. The American sniper’s handler only says that the gorge is the door to hell, and they are standing watch at the gate. I don’t know if that’s supposed to be literal or metaphorical. My guess is that what’s in the gorge is either supernatural, natural but undiscovered by modern science, or something created by the US or Russia during the cold war, abandoned and exiled to the gorge and the two governments have agreed to keep it imprisoned there. I don’t know if it’s a single entity or a community of sentient creatures, but the shot from the trailer that shows some of the bottom of the gorge indicates an intelligence at work.
On top of all that, the two snipers engage in a long-distance relationship of the both the friendly and potentially romantic type when they start writing on whiteboards to each other from across the gorge.
Seems interesting enough for me to check out when it comes.

I hate Clark Kent’s curly dumb looking hair.
I hate Superman’s weird uniform looking suit.
I hate that the trailer uses the old Superman theme (let it go already)
I hate that the movie seems overpacked with super-characters.
I hate that there’s a sequence where people hate Superman.
Looks fun.
