![]() Blue Beetle I know NOTHING about, and I’m interested to see a new take on Superman, courtesy of James Gunn. Sure, I read Flashpoint, but this upcoming Flash movie looks to be bringing something new to the table with having General Zod and Supergirl there. But, when it comes to characters like The Flash, Blue Beetle, The Authority, and Swamp Thing, which are all slated – some very soon, and some down the line – to get movies, well I’m super pumped because I want to know more about these characters. Now, I may be selling myself a little short, since I know a ton about Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. ![]() In that way, I already had a deep understanding of Iron Man, Thor, and even the Guardians of the Galaxy by the time the movies rolled around. For instance, I grew up with Marvel, so I read a lot of the comic books, watched most of the cartoons, and played a vast majority of the video games. Lastly, I’m super pumped to learn more about all these DC characters that I only really know on a surface level. DC) I'm Not As Familiar With DC As I Am With Marvel, So I Feel Like I'm In For Some Surprises With This New DC Rollout ![]() With Gunn at the helm, I see him steering these projects in exciting new directions, and I couldn’t be more ecstatic to see where the future of DC lies on the big screen. In this way, I’m really excited for the future of DC’s cinematic universe, whatever it may be. In a lot of ways, he seems like the new Kevin Feige…but one who can actually write and direct movies, as well. Some might be concerned that Gunn won’t tonally be capable of a Superman movie, but as long as it’s not as dark and dreary as Man of Steel, I think we’ll be fine. Now, he’s actually going to be writing and directing a Superman movie of his own with the upcoming Superman: Legacy. I mean, have you seen The Suicide Squad and Peacemaker? Wowie Zowie! Also, even though he didn’t direct it, he had a hand in Brightburn as well, which was a dark Superman-esque story. But, he can do the bombast and explosions, too. He's more concerned with character interactions and development than he is with bombast and explosions. 3), he also cut his teeth on the fantastic Rainn Wilson movie, Super, which is seriously one of the better, more obscure “superhero” movies. Don’t believe me? Well, besides the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, which many consider to be an excellent trilogy (I can’t attest to that until I see Vol. If anything, he's going to save the sinking ship that was the Snyderverse, not sink it even further. It really made me laugh when I saw all of the “Fire James Gunn” tweets trending on Twitter because it honestly made no sense to me. (Image credit: DC Comics) James Gunn Looks To Be The New Kevin Feige But, I can’t wait for these upcoming DC movies, and I think I know why I’m currently feeling this way. I’ll just wait to watch those movies at home. That’s how far removed I am from the MCU at this point. I heard the recent Guardians of the Galaxy was really good, but you know what? I’ll just wait for it to come out on Disney+. Also, are Thunderbolts, and Blade still even coming out in the near future? I honestly don’t know, but I don’t really care, either. I also couldn’t care less about Captain America: Brave New World, either, even though I was mostly into The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (I might see it in theaters just to support a Black Captain America, though). ![]() But, do you know what I’m not excited for? The Marvels, and this is despite really liking the first Captain Marvel movie. Did I love the first one? Not particularly, but Lady Gaga being in this new one has me interested, and I definitely want to see if this sequel gets the acclaim (and another Oscar nomination) that the first movie received. I wasn’t in love with the first one, but I still liked it enough that I’d definitely be willing to see the next one in theaters, as it could be another enjoyable thrill ride that’s best seen on a big screen. Now yes, I know, the first movie wasn’t your “typical” Snyderverse film, as it wasn’t dark and moody, but rather, colorful and fun (some might even say that it was a knee jerk reaction to the super seriousness of all the Snyder movies). Strangely enough, I’m also really looking forward to some of the remnants of what existed during the Snyder-era, such as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
