Superman
Summary
In a Modern interview withScreen Rantto promoteThe Boysseason 4 , Nathan Mitchell , who had seen theSupermanset picture of the new type , was asked what his extra thoughts were on the DCU figure . Mitchell evince fervor about see a character who heavily resembles Black Noir , andThe Boysstar had some insightful thought process on what may be going down inJames Gunn’sSupermanmovie . The doer show how it is all important for aSupermanfilm that is happen in 2025 to reflect"the context of the current superhero landscape,“sharing the following :
Nathan Mitchell : It was so coolheaded ; I was so surprised . I was like , " Wow , are they doing a version of Black Noir in this film ? " and again , I do n’t fully bonk what they ’re contrive . If I were to think , I would say it ’s a version of Black Noir in this guess that we ’ve learn . My take on it is that if you ’re gon na make a case for Superman in 2025 , you have to make a face for him in the context of the current superhero landscape .
That superhero landscape includes The Boys and The Seven . So I think it ’s really chic to compare and contrast and make a typeface for Superman in a globe where a squad like The Seven might exist . I do n’t know for sure , but my guess is perhaps they ’re doing something like that , and I ’m really honour by the possibility that Black Noir could have been an inspiration for a theatrical role in a Superman film .
It ’s been a while since Superman ’s last solo cinema , and James Gunn ’s upcoming Superman could carry out some foresightful - absent qualities of the character .
Who Is The Mystery Character In James Gunn’s Superman Movie?
To this point , Gunn has yet to comment on this occult character , as he belike wants to keep it under wraps untilSupermanis released next year . It is possible that whoever this is supposed to be , their identity will get clarify in the firstSupermantrailer whenever DC Studios decides it ’s ready to be presented . But until then , there are plentitude of theories regarding who the Black Noir - esque character might be fromtheSupermanset photos .
If the DCU are leaning into Superman scoundrel from the comics , the reference could potentially be Neil Quinn , a.k.a . Ulysses , who is a foe for the Man of Steel that has yet to be used in live - action . Gunn is known for looking at more obscure character from the comics , as shown in hisGuardians of the Galaxytrilogy , which is rebound to be the case inSupermantoo . Ulysses would also make a lot of sentience as a figure working for the government , given how the set photograph have him arresting Superman alongside the military .
With the character sustain a U - similar design on his pectus , many consider that this is going to be some pas seul of Ultraman , who is an evil Superman doppelgänger from Earth-3 . While it seems unconvincing that the multiverse angle is being approached this early inGunn ’s DC Universe , it is possible that this is a newfangled interpretation of Ultraman without his multiversal origin . With Gunn’sSupermanmovie now well under way in condition of production , time will order if there are potentially other candidate for the identity of this fig in the story .
