It's a German actor Lars Eidinger
From Claes Bang and Matt Smith to....whoever the fuck this is? Great going, Pedo Gunn.
>>151798413Nice to see him cast an unknown
bargain bin universe
>>151798440Congratulations to the German guy because he really seems like a complete unknown from Europe but if Gunn is going to go with such obvious, Twitter-pleasing casting instead of doing proper worldwide audition hunts, why draw the line at Brainiac when you had such cool names like >>151798437 attached?
>>151798472He might've had a better audition
>>151798437This so much, only established actors whose names I personally recognize should be filling these roles. Le sigh.
>>151798497Yeah, no. Way to miss the point, Christ.
>>151798517Ok
>>151798504Motherfucker, Gunn has been casting the DCU based off what Twitter/Blue Sky has been telling him to cast and he suddenly goes unknown for Brainiac? Get fucked, that's nonsense. He should've gone with the obvious choices and not this guy. Good for him and all but look at him, let alone his IMDb. He also looks goofy which is no doubt a bad but expected omen given Pedo Gunn is writing.>>151798497Bullshit. They just didn't want to pay anyone worth a damn their proper fee. The other two big names rumored were also European so this is completely redundant. I mean, look at IMDB. Who the FUCK is this guy?
>>151798437>bitch that he uses famous actors>bitch that he uses unknown actorsDo you jeets have any actual opinions of your own?
>>151798579>They just didn't want to pay anyone worth a damn their proper fee.To be seen once the film is out but if his perfomance isn't better than what I would've expected out of Smith and the rest I'll believe this
>>151798583Shut the fuck up, skullfucked mongoloid. You go from Claes Bang (who isn't really that famous anyway) to THAT and yeah, it's a downgrade. But no, can't have a serious, talented actor. Only Blue sky fancasts or literally who's who look like goofballs because Brainiac will just be another joke villain like the magical negro in GotG 3. Plus, he relied on NPCs like you going HOW HECKIN WHOLESOME HE GAVE AN UNKNOWN A CHANCE THIS SO MUCH THIS to get off on the dopamine
>>151798601This lends more credence to the fact Brainiac will be completely robbed of that prime spotlight and him/Mongul will pull double duty as villains thus why he penny pinched because Hoult and Cornsweat will ask for more money and presumably Lobo and Supergirl and Peacemaker will appear and that's a lot of big wages so he saves money and gets Reddit applause for giving a European unknown a shot.
>>151798636The film's gonna be that crowded?
>>151798636>>151798579>>151798437Lmao, Snyder cast a guy who did voice work for audiobooks as Darkseid and a random theater actor for Jon Stewart.
>>151798616Anon your outrage is manufactured by grifters on YouTube who rely on your underlying issues to whip you up into this frothing rage so they can make money. Close your laptop and you’ll be a much happier person.
>>151798616All I did was call you a jeet, settle down Ranjesh.
>>151798636Man, you’ll have a total meltdown when you see what Christopher Reeve’s credits were prior to Superman
>Brainiac finally appearing in a movie>retards are bitching about the actor being unknown, as if that's a problemwhat an embarrasing thread
>>151798579So who told him to cast Corenswet?
>>151798636You seem upset
>>151798649>contract extended not to 2028 or 2029 but 2027 just when Man of Tomorrow releases>no DCU projects past 2027 greenlit>He's called the DCU the Superman Saga or some bullshit term recently and only sporadically uses DCU anymoreHe's throwing EVERYTHING at the wall in his last movie as he has NOTHING greenlit by WB (and he HAS to answer to WB, don't believe his absurd lies otherwise) and clearly, WB/Netflix are going to hedge their bets. If Supergirl becomes a culture war battleground, which it will, and it flops as a result and Clayface doesn't do Joker numbers somehow then they'll give him that one movie to combine everything he wanted to do into one (hence why it's likely that he may introduce WW as a one-off because the solo reboot isn't happening) and he gets to step down with his head held high which he doesn't deserve and then say well, that's the end of my contract whelp. No skin off his back and he runs off back to Marvel which is desperate to lure him back and De Luca and Abdy run DC or dissolve the studio and put it back into the WB IP pool. It's obvious Superman didn't make enough money to warrant jumping the gun on Pedo Gunn and Batman II has had insane hype in the industry and they know standalone prestige pieces are the only thing they can rely on, sans Joker 2.
>>151798698Jeets are paid to play contrarian, they have no actual opinions.
>>151798715>nothing greenlit>what is Supergirl, Man of Tomorrow, Clayface, Lanterns
What an organic dogpiling by Indian scum pretending to not be such and calling others what they are, the highest insult imaginable. You are all bots or some deranged Indian samefagger. Die.
>>151798715schizo
>>151798715I doubt Clayface will flop with how cheap it was to make but Supergirl will for sure not do well. Honestly they're probably just gonna give Gunn smaller budgets
THIS IS A THREAD WITH A MALICIOUS PRO-PEDOGUNN CODED MALFUNCTIONING BOT MASS REPLYINGDO NOT ENGAGE
>>151798744Horror movies are not bulletproof. Let alone capeshit movies masquerading as horror. If Megan 2 can flop, then anything can. Clayface doesn't have a big lead actor, it'll look too generic and it being a DC property masquerading as horror will just turn off the horror audience who are blind slop consumers but to a limit.
>>151798744Why won't Supergirl do well?
>>151798766It's just horror, dude. Not "masquerading" as anything.
>>151798766I supposed it being r-rated will shrink the box office returns. I could still see it performing decently though>>151798769Iirc Superman barely broke even
>>151798779They see that DC logo when the trailer shows, they'll pidgeonhole it. It doesn't have the benefit of a prestige sheen like Joker so it'll just do mediocre numbers but Supergirl will outright bomb. Basing a 200 million blockbuster on an actress who's biggest credit was a young version of a character on a GoT spinoff was stupid beyond belief.
>>151798803Stop caring about box office. It's either good or not, and it made a lot in streaming and merch
>>151798803If it was a Mike Flanagan written and directed movie, sure. It would've done good. But not a movie that took a Mike Flanagan script, threw it out and then gave it to a gig writer and a generic horror director.
>>151798816Stop caring about box office. That's loser YouTube shit
>>151798839>Stop caring about box office>What matters is if it's a HECKIN' GOOD FILM>it made a lot in merch and streaming and shit idk DON'T ASK QUESTIONS >>151798850Financial success and profit are not "loser YouTube shit", you fucking insane person.
>>151798859Yes, what matters is if it's a good film or not.
>>151798839I get that but it's what's important to studios when they want to greenlight something>>151798841They changed the script?
>>151798859>be jeet>obsessed with "line go up"
>>151798881>>151798910>same replies worded differently>not a minute apartHoly shit, there's an actual samefagging schizo here. Loser LMAO
>>151798803>Iirc Superman barely broke evenYou’re not remembering correctly
>>151798910>>151798881When you've been poor NPC man children who only known to consume media and reap benefits, you couldn't fathom why making money is important to the real world and real people with real business.Just off yourself.
>>151798892Yes, James Gunn lauded Mike Flanagan's script so MUCH that he tweeted about it and HAD to bring in someone else to rewrite it completely. One of endless lies and deceit by the pedophile James Gunn.
>>151798948Are you making the money? Or are you just watching movies?
>>151798413He already gives me the creeps. Good casting
>>151798946Did it do better or worse>>151798988They could still advertise it as Flanagan being attached to it somehow. I just can't see a 40 mil DC film flopping
>>151798931You stupid faggot
>>151798413Was he searching for an actor with a large enough head for the role?
>>151798413Gunn was probably waaaaay too busy fucking actual children to pay much attention to whatever actor was auditioning for the role and now we end up with ...some guy. Way to go Gunnpedo! you did it again!
>>151798413Does it even matter? Movie is going to be pure shit that fails just like the first one.
>>151798413Can't wait to see this lose even MORE money for WB! They can't figure out how fucking nobody liked "Punk Rock" Superman in the first place.
>>151798472It was probably a budget thing, they cannot afford an actual actor so they had to go with some literal who that they can pay $50K at best for the role.
>>151798655>a guy who did voice work for audiobooksI wouldn't scoff at the whale so easily>>151798700Hipster nepotism
>>151798649First movie was pretty crowded with Superman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Haqwkgirl, Metamorpho, Mr Terrific, Lex, Ultraman, Engineer, there was a shitload of people in there.
>>151798655So you mean to say he cast actual actors that have worked on Warner projects before and their talents were known. time to maybe fuck off retard?
>>151799014It did better. Don’t listen to 4chan accountants who go on about marketing and all this other bullshit while not taking into account dvd sales, merchandise sales, streaming revenue, and license stuff. It did well enough that WB immediately greenlit a sequel that doesn’t have Batman shoved into it
>>151799105If I were in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Zack Snyder and had a gun with two bullets I’d shoot Zack Snyder twice.
>>151798579You sound really smart and savvy, you should keep posting
>>151799222/thread
>>151799222I didn't take that into account you are correct. I still don't know about Supergirl though
>>151799240Weird flex but ok
>>151798413>Submissive eyes>Weak chin>Hairline at the back of the headLMAO
>>151798437>Matt Smithlol one of the dumbest fancastoid picks possible
He's really good in Personal Shopper. I don't really think I've seen him in anything else.
>>151798839Streaming doesn't make money unless it drives people to purchase a subscription.
>>151799593Streaming doesn't have to make money it has to generate capital. These multi billion dollar companies don't need profit.
>>151798437>Pedo GunnNo he ain't, but you voted for someone who did A Serbian Film nasty to babies on a certain island.
>>151799959kek
>>151798841Is Mike Flanagan guy the new Debicki guy?
Gunn needs to stop getting these unknown actor types because this beginning to feel like the Direct to DVD universe because of these selections. I know he wants to pocket another 15 million and not pay a A-List star but the DCU will keep flopping without star power. Man of Tomorrow is not making a billion with unknowns like this at the helm. Can Gunn afford another flop.
>>151800767thanks for the opinion depreep
>>151799222> while not taking into account dvd sales, merchandise sales, streaming revenue, and license stuff. It did well enough that WB immediately greenlit a sequel that doesn’t have Batman shoved into itSuperman was a bomb Anon. It won't be on the thd top ten highest grossing films of 2025. That means it was a flop, even Snyder's films did that.
>>151800813Come out of your echo chamber, Rajesh
>>151799593People rent movies, dummy. And if it doesn't make money, why make streaming shows?
>>151800813Holy shit shut up they greenlit a sequel without Batman, that already beats Snyder
>>151799512No one was talking about Matt Smith you dumbass liar
>>151800767I don't think a-listers can prop up such weak material, and it's all going through a Gunn filter anyway. You know this Brainiac is going to talk about building his own dick or something
>>151801525Bot or legit retard?
>>151801646Post 10 people fancasting Matt Smith as Brainiac.
>>151798413>>151799564I saw him in Jay Kelly recently and he seems like a great fit.
so based on this thread, i take it the actor's actually going to be great as Brainiac and he's going to be praised and this'll be one of those "revolutionary" castings?
>>151798413James Gunn is a pedophile.
>>151798413>Brainiac finally is in a Superman movie>directed by James Gunn and played by some European faggotMaaaaaan, talk about monkey's paw up the ass.
>>151798996>t. heckin valid transgirl>>151799017Shopped.
>>151798437You dont want to know that.
>>151802596He will make Brainiac some analogy for a Nazi scientist or something insane like that. All of the Pedogunnverse projects had had shit like that, even Lanterns. He will have a German accent deliberately. Fuck this, man. Just....fuck that pedophile.
>>151798440>UnknownYou should say international small role actor.
>>151802625I dont like him, but he can play a snobby, brainy guy very perfectly.
>>151802639I mean, props to him, it's probably a juicy paycheck and his name gets out there but man, what a miscast. Especially considering who he was up against. He really doesn't have the presence and charisma for Brainiac which leads me to believe Brainiac, as one anon said, will be completely wasted in a duet with Mongul (which the Salvation storyline clearly set up) and the movie's focus will be on the buddy cop dynamic between Lex and Supes and Brainiac will get shafted which is why they hired such a non-entity actor.
>>151799003
>>151802653Sure, but this casting reeks of them getting a low-level character actor because Brainiac will not have the sizeable antagonist role he deserves. Which is fine that they didn't cast Claes Bang or Matt Smith because those two deserve to be the co-leads in a movie. I'm thinking Brainiac will be a glorified plot device to team up Lex and Supes.
>>151799048He probably saw the movie Jay Kelly or got some word of mouth.A story Eidinger told was>Clooney came to the set and approached his dutch co-actor with “Nice to work with the great classic theatre performer Lars Eidinger“ So it seems that he is known as a great european stage performer?>pic: he wears the german cyclist shirt
>>151798803>>151799105>>151800813It's crazy how Superman was not only widely liked but did well enough to be considered a success that you faggots are still seething about it and making up "muh secret budget" to cope months laterTell me, can you prove that this budget we don't know about somehow was greater than or equal to the amount the movie made? No? You're just mad a movie you don't like did well? What a surprise
>ITT: "wtf you can't just cast actors based on whether they'd be a good fit for the role"
>>151799564Saw him in alot of stuff. He has a wide range of characters. He just needs to play his Kai Korthals role, perfect fit for Brainiac.
>>151800767You mean International small actors.
>>151802673I think he can pull that. He can play a role like a sheming Moriaty that can exploid in a cruel lunatic.
>>151802691Honestly, the two you named are on the same level of moviegoers awareness. Cant say if they are better than him. But sure it can mean that the role is more like a cameo. Didnt thought about this, you really raises a very hood point there, anon.
