Now that HenryCavill is officially back as Superman, it's time to ask ourselves what a ManofSteel sequel will look like under a James Gunn-run DCEU.
In only a few days, the DCEU has received two major shakeups to its ever-shifting cinematic universe. First, the ending to Black Adam featured the return of a fan-favorite actor whose return to the franchise has long been a matter of debate. Over the weekend, Henry Cavill took to Instagram to celebrate his cameo in the film, promising he is indeed back as Superman and thanking his fans for their patience and loyalty.
So now that we know the Man of Steel needs to be present for the DCEU to succeed, what will be the franchise’s next move? Without angering or disrespecting anyone who thinks otherwise, my guess is that Cavill, Gunn, and everyone involved in the upcoming project would want to steer away from the series’ previous portrayal of Superman simply because that’s not Superman.
At their core, Gunn’s films are about human connection and family, be it between non-traditional yet still heroic characters like the Guardians or straight-up murderous freaks like the Suicide Squad. Gunn is as interested in the man as he is in the suit, which separates him from most other directors working in the superhero genre. Gunn likes the Super, but he loves the man.
The film will be Superman’s grand re-entrance, and it should be treated as such, meaning he and he alone should be the undisputed star. This means no Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, or anyone else who can take the spotlight away from him. If you’re going to do a Superman solo outing, let Superman shine; no team-ups, no heroes popping by to assist.
So, where does that leave us? Well, with plenty of great Superman storylines to explore on the big screen! Perhaps the most obvious choice would be Brainiac, the 2008 arc that redefined the classic villain, turning him into one of Kal’s most sinister villains. Featuring Brainiac as the antagonist would allow for a unique Superman adventure, especially considering the villain has never faced the Man of Steel on the big screen.
