The whole interview

Lois and Clark dynamic

It's a meaty scene, about 10-12 pages worth of script, in which Lois arrives at her apartment to find her boyfriend, Clark Kent, attempting (rather poorly) to cook an anniversary meal. Their playful banter highlights their romantic chemistry, but also how they challenge each other.
"We're meeting them at a point where they've been together for about three months," Brosnahan notes, "which is the point in a relationship where you're like, Was this a really great fling or is this more serious, possibly forever?"
Lois gives Clark grief for the ethical breaches of his recent Daily Planet pieces — exclusive interviews he "conducted" with Superman, though they both know full well that Clark is Superman. So he offers her an alternative: She can interview him as the Man of Steel instead. What he thinks might be a fun bonding moment backfires spectacularly as Lois, who comes alive when presented with a juicy story, jumps at the chance to ask Superman hard-hitting questions on the record.
Brosnahan felt this exchange was "foundational" to these characters.
"It's a combination of them both clicking into, in some ways, their super alter egos,"...They both feel very strongly about the stance that they're taking in that scene. It's one of the things that I love about their love story. While they have totally opposite worldviews, they complete each other, and they kind of need each other."

Metahumans and Justice Gang

In this world, humanity has been clued into the existence of metahumans (i.e., super-powered individuals) for 300 years, Gunn reveals. ("If you saw a shark-man walking down the street, you'd probably vomit and s--- yourself to death," he says. "If they saw one, it would be more like if you saw Paul McCartney on the sidewalk in New York.") It's a world that includes the Justice Gang, a super-trio... But they went corporate. Maxwell Lord, the head of LordTech and one of multiple tech billionaires in this world, is their backer. ("They're good. They just are not saintly," Gunn says of the team.)

Different personas of superman

There are the main Superman and Clark Kent personas that he shows the public. But, Corenswet explains, "We also had this third character, of who Clark is when he's in a room with somebody who knows both sides of him. He's not really playing the character of Superman, but he's also not really playing the role of Clark, either. It's a personality that only comes out with his parents and with Lois, once she really gets to know everything about him."

Lex Luthor

Hoult points to a specific panel from that arc that helped define the particular shades of his Luthor.

"That kind of captures, in my mind, the element of Lex," Hoult says. "He's worked hard and diligently for so many years for all these things, to be admired and to be adored. Then suddenly Superman's turned up and he's all the things that he aims to be himself in some ways, but he doesn't have to work hard for it. So I'm like, What if this Lex is someone who is physically strong and is an alpha, or seemingly in that sense?
"Lex is connected to everything," Gunn says of the role. "There's nothing bad happening in Metropolis during this movie that doesn't have some connection to Lex Luthor."...There are some characters that are really almost saintly, like Superman," he elaborates. "There are some characters who are almost pretty terrible, like Lex Luthor. But I don't think Lex is all bad, and I don't think Superman is all good. All those people in between, the Guy Gardners and the Jimmy Olsens of the world, are even more complex in their moralities and what they think is okay."

Large Cast

The mere size of the cast can feel overwhelming, something Gunn is keenly aware fans are criticizing online. But rather than starting with one character, like Iron Man, and slowly expanding the universe to, say, everyone who appeared in that finale fight in Avengers: Endgame, Gunn aimed to capture from his own experience with the comics, immersing audiences in an already established world teeming with metahumans. "I grew up reading DC and Marvel comics and having worlds and universes of superheroes who were interacting. I grew up watching Super Friends on Saturday mornings," he says. "It's a long time coming, to be able to be a part of a world in which superheroes are real. We don't have to explain everyone away. There's a little bit of magic in this world. There's science beyond our understanding in this world. This is the kind of place where there's an island full of dinosaurs that probably exists."

DCU

With all of these projects, Gunn is conscious not to give audiences homework, which is not dissimilar to Marvel's current post-Endgame approach. You won't have to watch Superman to enjoy Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, he says: "I am really trying to be careful that anybody can dip in and see the story that is up next and not feel like they're missing information." That said, he does have a master plan in terms of the titles comprising Gods and Monsters.
"The most important thing is the specific stories, but there is also a much bigger story that we're telling that will take a little bit longer to tell," he remarks. "That's sort of where my next couple of things are going to be."

pls no

He is using the public’s hatred of Marvel as Promo…man I hope this fails. But I realize people are easily manipulated so I guess it’s all gonna work out.

This movie has a lot more humor than the trailers have shown, I hope you all actually judge the movie and realize that Marvel has 0 to do with your enjoyment of something else, but the reality is you are all sheep….so you will probably do whatever it takes to convince yourself you loved this, and WB and Gunn are banking on that…tragic

you sound like a marketing shill for Snyder and or Marvel. Humor isn't a bad thing, you should try to laugh more yourself with your holier than thou stoic ass

I knew I made a mistake just saying “humor”

This movies had more humor that a guardians film and it’s Superman

If you think it’s just for fun that WB hasn’t shown that off than you are delusional

That’s what the early screenings keep pushing

early screenings don't mean s***, countless examples of the actual end result being better and or worse than early screenings

Lol

Nobody in here said anything about marvel recently and Gunn made a post saying don’t fall into the marvel and dc stan wars…

Schizo post

He hyped this movie on fanboy bullshit

It won’t work tho, excited to see your god take that L

fed jammuh assumes all criticism comes from snyder fans

Yall taking bait

I mean I wouldn't be mad at a super humorous Superman movie because we haven't gotten one this century so

Oh yeah they getting nervous

Nolan’s Batman movies had more humor than Man of Steel.

Are you okay
