DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

So, in November 2019, David Corenswet said that he’d been told he looks like Henry Cavill and:
“my pie-in-the-sky ambition is definitely to play Superman. I would love to see somebody do an upbeat, throwback [take on Superman]. I love the Henry Cavill dark and gritty take, but I would love to see the next one be very bright and optimistic.”

If this was in a movie, we’d call it foreshadowing!
 
Rachel Brosnahan reacts to THR's report that she is a candidate for Lois:
I mean, look, take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt, is my first piece of advice. But it would be extraordinary. I grew up watching Lois Lane, this incredibly talented journalist who is far from a damsel in distress. And I would jump at the chance if it arose.

Very much a "can neither confirm nor deny" response to the report (much like Gunn's). But it strikes me that her description of Lois ("this incredibly talented journalist who is far from a damsel in distress") does not sound like the words of someone caught off guard by a question about a character to whom she has given no thought.

I think "I grew up watching Lois Lane" is enough to account for that.
 
I like the dark and gritty take. :)
I watched the latest animated movie, Batman: The Doom that came to Gotham the other day and that was a weird one. It’s essentially Batman vs Cthulhu and it’s very dark with a very high death count. I did like the takes on some of the known characters. It’s interesting how flexible they are. They can alter them quite extensively and they still feel like the characters you know and love.
 
BUT WHICH ONE DO YOU LOVE MORE

I prefer Henry Cavill's emotionally realistic take on Superman.
Gunn has already promised an emotional Superman and an emotional film:
And so, I can’t say I’m looking for any particular emotions to bring out through "Superman," but I don’t want it to be unemotional. I don’t want it to deny that we are, as human beings, emotional characters and that Superman is also that.

Superman '78 is also plenty emotional:

Anyway, a happy, optimistic character is every bit as legitimate as an angsty, tortured one. Positive emotions are emotions, too. They're even "realistic." I know, because I've experienced them. I hope you have also.

I still prefer Henry Cavill's portrayal.

We all have our preferences and favorites, but this character will outlive all of them and all of us. Henry Cavill's portrayal will always be there for his fans to enjoy, as will those of Christopher Reeve, George Reeves, and all the other actors who've worn the "S." IMO, there's no reason you can't enjoy multiple versions, and certainly no reason to dismiss Gunn's take sight unseen. Who knows? Maybe it will be the new "best ever."
Theatrical Justice League shot detected!

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to use that as an argument in favor of anything. ;)
