DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

Yeah, but when it comes to names like this, spelling in important, so technically SuperGirl would be a different character from Supergirl.

Would DC/Marvel give two characters the exact same name with different Capitalization standards?

Or are you worried about out of universe confusion with other IP's that might use the name "SuperGirl" vs "Supergirl"?

It's the character's name. Respecting the character and the creators by spelling it right seems an easy task.

The second one, but more just the general idea. That kind of thing just bugs me, so I always make a point of making sure I get it exactly right. I can't tell you how many times I've had to check how to write ....crap... (checks on Wikipedia) Spider-Man correctly. And no that was not a joke, I really did just have to check on Wikipedia because I couldn't remember if it was hyphenated.

Fair enough.

I was originally going to use Iron Man as an example, but I think he had at least a little bit of name recognition by the time the first movie came out

Thanks, Ozzy!

‘Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow’ Adds David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham (Exclusive)

David Krumholtz, who was recently part of the all-star cast of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and British actress Emily Beecham have joined the space-faring cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which Craig Gillespie is directing for Warner Bros. Discovery arm DC Studios.

The feature, which began shooting this week in DC’s UK production hub of Leavesden, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic book mini-series and stars House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock playing Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.

It’s unclear how faithful the script by Ana Nogueira is to the comic, which eschewed the traditional good vs. bad tropes and instead was a cosmic character piece, spanning many worlds and alien cultures. The Eisner-nominated 2021 story was told from the perspective of a young alien girl named Ruthye who enlists the aid of Supergirl is a quest of revenge against Krem of the Yellow Hills, the man who killed her father.

Eve Ridley is on the call sheet as Ruthye while Matthias Schoenaerts is Krem. Jason Momoa is due to cameo as alien bounty hunter Lobo.

Krumholtz and Beecham will play Supergirl’s parents.

Encouraged by the reference to Momoa's role as a mere cameo. Here's hoping that proves out.

That's a bit of a surprise, I figured after the big announcement that it would at least be a bigger supporting role.

 

[The Realist]

Article could be wrong, but fingers crossed.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I assume it's seeding future projects.

Wasn't the big announcement just a post from Momoa? Or was there something more?

 

[Mudd]

Momoa's got a big enough fandom that his casting is a big announcement by definition. He's a bit of a star.

 

[TREK_GOD_1]

..or it could be misdirection, with the true intent being Momoa's character will have a significant, unexpected part in the film, which would be fascinating.

 

[Set Harth]

He'll be playing Aquaman.

 

[oktay]

He'll be playing Aquaman.

No, it will be Lobo, that's obvious.

This forum needs a sarcasm sign.
