I was thinking about this and Superman's story is much like those kids from other cultures who were adopted by white folks. From the stuff I've read from Vietnamese and Native American people who were in those situations, they often learn about their birth culture in their teens or early 20s, and while they sometimes adopt what they can from it, it's hard to escape the norms one was raised with. I'd love to see a Superman film written from or informed by that point of view.
Ooh, yes, great idea. Siegel & Shuster were the children of immigrant parents, so the immigrant experience was built into the concept to an extent. It would be cool to bring a similar perspective to a modern take on the character.
Early reviews for My Adventures with Superman are very positive.

I wish I had as much optimism and enthusiasm where James Gunn is concerned as I did before
but I still can't help but be hyped for Superman: Legacy. Guess it's that good ol' Superman "hope" in me.
Some interesting tidbits in that article, including Gunn's pairing of candidates for Clark and Lois, and the business of only Mackey returning to play Lois opposite the male actors' Superman costume tests.

No Gustaf Skarsgård?
I was thinking that on the basis of Alexander’s performance in Succession, he’d make an excellent “tech bro” style Lex in the vein of Eisenberg/Snyder’s version.No Gustaf Skarsgård?
Bill has already played a psychotic clown for Andy Muschetti, who is doing the new DC’s Batman, so let’s hope he doesn’t just go for the obvious lazy casting of him as Joker (even if he would admittedly be very good in the role).
Corenswet and Brosnahan confirmed as Superman and Lois! https://twitter.com/jamesgunn/status/1673785892870447104?s=46&t=4gRLv-uovddel5zbS4TQ9g

Rolls right off the tongue.
Of the candidates, these were the two I was hoping would get the parts. Fingers crossed that Gunn and team will deliver a great Superman!
Is it paranoid to think they rushed this announcement out to distract attention from "The Flash"?
OTOH, there might be a lot of people wondering what’s the point in another DC superhero film coming so soon after that movie and Black Adam flopped.
I dunno.. Cavill and Corenswet both kind of look like Superman
Um...looks A LOT like henry Cavil.
Guess they wanted to reset the 'money' (IE they'd have probably had to pay Cavil more if Gunn did go with him.)
Edit: Ninja'd
Yeah, I’d say they and Tom Welling are all very much from the same mouldI dunno.. Cavill and Corenswet both kind of look like Superman
