The director revealed a little about what he wants to see in the new Man of Steel in theaters!

Bye Superman: Legacy is entering pre-production, fans are desperate to find out who will play the Man of Steel in the new film from James Gunnespecially now when Henry Cavill not officially planning a new one dc universe.

Last Thursday (27) Gann visited premiere world Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. On the red carpet of the event, the director received a number of questions about his projects in ANNOUNCEMENT, including the casting of the new Superman in theaters. He said (via comicbookfilm):

“It is difficult, but we are already watching. And we have some great options, and I’m very excited about that.”

Asked what he would like to see in a new Man of Steel interpreter, the director left a list of things the next actor must follow to land the role:

“It has to be someone who has all the humanity that Superman has, but he’s also an alien. It has to be someone who has the kindness and compassion that Superman has. And it has to be someone you want to hug.”

Apparently Superman: Legacy promises to honor more optimistic, positive, and kinder versions of the hero, such as Golden age And silver Age comics done. Since recording is due to begin soon, we should soon receive official confirmation of who will play the character.

James Gunn wants him to have all the positive and optimistic Superman traits from the comics.

Finally, James Gunn also gave a very conciliatory answer, saying that he liked everything super man to date and who want to add something new to this mythology:

“You know, all the Supermen so far have been good, we just need to add something to this story.”

Scheduled for 2025, Superman: Legacy tells the story of Clark Kent and its allies, which should include journalists Jimmy Olsen This Lois Lane. We still don’t know what the main threat of the feature will be and whether it will involve iconic figures from the hero’s mythology, such as Lex Luthor.
