Superman

Ever since Henry Cavill took on the role of Superman in Man of Steel, it almost feels like Warner Bros. and DC didn't really know what to do with him. Cavill certainly looks the part of the Man of Steel, but the movies have yet to give him a role he can sink his teeth into. After […]

Before Warner Bros cast Henry Cavill, things looked bleak before and after the lackluster box office performance of Superman Returns (2006). Filmmakers like Kevin Smith, Tim Burton, and George Miller had developing plans for the Last Son of Krypton. Smith and Burton's Superman Lives featured Nicolas Cage in the title role. Miller eyed D.J. Cotrona […]

Growing up, Jerry O'Connell adored the Superman films starring Christopher Reeve. He watched them all, but his favorite remains the 1978 Richard Donner original. The actor had an opportunity to play a role in a live-action setting screen testing for Superman Returns (2006) before the part went to Brandon Routh. O'Connell's first exposure to voiceover […]

When Zack Snyder's Man of Steel came out in 2013, it set a profoundly dark tone for the DC Extended Universe. One of the most controversial scenes was during Superman (Henry Cavill) and General Zod's (Michael Shannon) climactic battle. While promoting his upcoming film The Quarry from Lionsgate, Shannon spoke to Cinema Blend, about how […]

Today my kids came home from school early. The school, in South-East London, was closed – and will remain closed for the week, as a result of two unconfirmed cases of the coronavirus at the school. And they are going to spend the week giving the place a very deep clean, and we're all self-isolating […]

Warner Bros and DC are to host the New York premiere screening of Superman: Red Son, based on the comic by Mark Millar and Dave Johnson, at 7pm, March 16th at the Directors Guild of America. The film tells the story of a Superman who landed twelve hours later that originally planned, making Russia his […]

Black Adam went from being a conversation to a full-fledged movie, with an official poster, potential cameos, and now talk of a crossover with the Man of Steel himself. During a recent interview promoting Jumanji: The Next Level, Black Adam producer Hiram Garcia opened up about the chances of Superman facing off against Black Adam, […]

The CW's upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths mega crossover event is attempting to bridge across multiple DC superheroes from its various live action incarnations – including their champion, Superman. What's amazing about the effort is the actors they were able to secure – with Tom Welling, Tyler Hoechlin, and Brandon Routh to reprise their roles […]

For our money, Jon Cryer is currently stealing every scene (and everything that isn't nailed down) during his run of the CW's Supergirl. With that in mind, how does he rank among all those actors who have dared to portray one of the greatest super-villains of all time? Glad you asked! Here's a look at […]

Now that we find ourselves in the eye of the holiday storm and crawling our way to a new year, feels like now's as good a time as any for a little "airing of grievances" to all the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) acolytes out there. Consider this a "tough love letter" – that holiday present you […]

Fans of Henry Cavill as the last son of Krypton were dealt a blow today when reports started surfacing that Warner Bros. was pretty much nixing any/all plans for future installments of films with Cavill as Superman. There were responses on all sides, but of course the person we were waiting for to chime in […]

Bad news for all you Henry Cavill as Superman fans, it would appear that Warner Bros. are at present not moving forward with any additional Superman titles starring the Brit, to instead focus on their in-process Supergirl film. In a way, this makes sense, as the first female-led superhero film from the big studio Wonder Woman continues to […]
