9 Things The Superman Movies Need To Include From The Comics To Make His Movies More Interesting

There's no kind way of saying it, Superman movies have had some issues. Henry Cavill's three outings (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League) as Superman have been divisive with critics and audiences alike, and while Brandon Routh has never heard criticisms of his portrayal in Superman Returns, others likely have. Why has Hollywood struggled so much as of late with crafting a critically acclaimed movie around Superman?

Perhaps the answer is to look to comic books, a medium that's been constantly changing and evolving Superman to make him more interesting for audiences since 1938. Not everything has worked, but there are a handful of things DC Comics has done that Warner Bros. should at least consider to use as inspiration, assuming making a straightforward adaptation is out of the question. Doing any of these would at least make things entertaining, and maybe help Superman with critics.

Make Superman Another Nation's HeroThe world knows Superman as America's boy scout, and with that persona well-established and firmly in place, why not take a chance and introduce a Superman native to another country? The concept worked beautifully in Superman: Red Son, and the story is still celebrated today as one of the greater hero stories of the era. So then why has Supergirl been the only series to attempt to adapt it?

Perhaps executives fear a departure from Superman's origins may confuse audiences. Superman is one of the most known heroes worldwide, and while perhaps some young minds may be confused by a movie that put Supes in Soviet Russia, China or even Africa, there'd be plenty of people to fill them in on the traditional hero. A new origin would make for an original story and could alleviate the pressure of finding an appropriate villain or engaging threat just a bit.

Remove Some Of Superman's PowersOne thing that DC Comics has done a fair number of times in its Superman stories is downgrade the character's abilities for a time in order to keep things fresh. A great example would be the New 52 Superman, who began his run unable to fly and wasn't nearly as invulnerable as he eventually became. He was still super strong, just not quite the indestructible entity we saw in Justice League.

Now, one might question the value of a Superman movie in which Superman isn't his ultimate self, but it's really quite simple. Audiences like to see heroes struggle, and for those skeptical, look at which hero movies top the all-time box office list. Nothing has ever been very difficult for Superman in the movies, and knowing the only thing that will bring him down is some Kryptonite can make things a bit boring. Perhaps leveling him down is the answer.

Split Superman In HalfRemember that weird phase in the '90s where Superman looked like he borrowed a costume from The Incredibles' Frozone? There was also the Red Superman, and this wasn't the hero trying out a new look to impress Lois, this was two entirely different versions of Superman. Both were created from an incident, and both believed themselves to be the one true Superman. The problem was they both were right, which caused some problems between them.

This would make for a great Superman movie as the heroes are tasked with an identity crisis of sorts. While they did end up merging back into one individual, a movie could send things in a different direction and perhaps send the other Superman off on another path. Also, imagine how sweet those modernized costumes of Superman Red and Superman Blue would look. Those toys would be flying off store shelves come Christmas time!

Make Bizarro Superman's VillainSuperman has a lot of villains in DC Comics, but very few of them have found their way into Superman movies. Instead he's usually pitted against arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace even created an original villain called Nuclear Man. Meanwhile, big names like Bizarro fell by the wayside and still have yet to make their debut in a Superman movie.

Which is really a crying shame because a goofy villain like Bizarro would really spice up a Superman movie for the better. If heroes and villains were ice cream flavors, Superman is vanilla where Bizarro is the "fried pickle chip" that, for better or worse, would certainly switch things up with his appearance. Keep Superman the same if we must, but bring in Bizarro to make the movie, and everything else surrounding the hero super weird.

Send Superman Somewhere Other Than EarthSuperman is one of the most powerful beings in existence, and yet, Superman movies have been dead set on keeping the hero glued to Earth. To be fair, Clark Kent does like to stay close to home, but when he can travel across the dark reaches of space merely by holding his breath, keeping him only on Earth is shortsighted. Superman movies are really missing out on an opportunity keeping a bulk of his action tied to our world.

Let's have the Man of Steel be kidnapped by someone like Mongul, who in many Superman comics is the leader of Warworld. There, Superman could be pushed to his limits taking on some of the galaxy's strongest heroes, and he could go all out on his powers without worrying too much about massive loss of life. A movie like that wouldn't escape criticism for being likened to Thor: Ragnarok, but is that really the worst comparison to get in the world of superhero movies?

Don't Worry About Keeping Superman Movies GroundedNow, one certainly wouldn't blame the early Superman films for this, but Henry Cavill's Superman appearances have definitely felt restrictive. Not so much in terms of the hero, but the idea of having Superman operate in a world that follows the same set of rules we do. Even if Superman comics do generally try to follow that rule as well, the bottom line is Superman's Earth is still very far removed from ours.

So what if it's realistic that a villain can reek havoc on Metropolis and Superman can still largely prevent a massive loss of life? Stuff like that makes him incredible, and allows an audience to focus more on the heroics and less on the minutiae of having a god-like alien living amongst humans. Sure, that's a theme DC Comics does tackle from time to time, but let's maybe get back to Superman movies where everyone's grateful he was around.

Introduce The World To Calvin EllisRemember back when folks were asking for Michael B. Jordan to play Superman? That can and should totally still happen, and if Warner Bros. wanted to keep Henry Cavill in the role, DC Comics has a way to make it happen. All it would take is a trip to Earth-23, and a screenplay that would give the world a proper introduction to that world's Superman, Calvin Ellis.

As some may have noticed, Calvin is a bit different than the traditional Superman. That's right, he's President of the United States in addition to being protector of the world. Imagine how awesome a movie like this could be, and how DC could have an entirely different cash cow on their hands with a new interpretation of Superman. As mentioned earlier, folks are well aware of who Superman is and his story, so we can feature another adaptation.

Adapt The Actual Death And Return Of SupermanPerhaps one of the biggest things I disliked about Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is that it relegated one of the greatest Superman comic book stories of all time into a sub-plot. The actual Death of Superman comic was a great standalone tale on its own, and it really deserved a standalone movie that it may never get thanks to BvS.

Now, the whole Return of Superman part of the arc wasn't as celebrated as the death, but I'm of the opinion that seeing a bunch of different versions of Superman on a big screen would make for a great cinematic event. Cyborg Superman, The Metropolis Kid (Superboy), The Eradicator and a version of Steel who isn't portrayed by Shaquille O' Neal would all be amazing to see. Of course, jamming it all into one movie wouldn't make sense, but that's what trilogies are for!

Jump To The FutureSuperman is one of the few heroes in DC Comics who gets continually stronger with age, because each passing day on Earth means more time he's exposed to the power of the sun. Future comics have shown him approach god-like status where next to nothing can harm him, and he even at one point became a living embodiment of the sun. That sounds impressive, but wouldn't making Superman even more indestructible make him more boring?

Not necessarily, as stronger versions of Superman more often than not are jaded by humanity and driven to cynicism at best and villainy at worst. If we're going to make Superman a threat, let's make him a literal god seemingly impossible to best! That could potentially set the stage for an ensemble films comparable to Avengers: Endgame, made all the more tragic because the heroes must defeat a man once thought to be humanity's best hope. I have chills!

John Wick 3 Won't Bring Back One Of The Coolest Characters After All

John Wick 3 Won't Bring Back One Of The Coolest Characters After All

The John Wick series has emerged to be one of the best action franchises in recent memory, with two very well-received and kick-ass movies released thus far. John Wick: Chapter 2 introduced a ton of new characters to the mix, but the coolest was hands down Cassian, the rival assassin played by Common. He was the only character who could go toe-to-toe with John Wick (Keanu Reeves), but it sounds like the two of them won't be getting a rematch in John Wick 3: Parabellum.

I'm not in the third part, but I could say that I really loved being a part of John Wick 2 and it was an amazing experience. Working with Keanu [Reeves] and [director] Chad [Stahelski], they're just phenomenal. Challenged and really passionate about the stuff, and I can say that [John Wick 3] is going to be incredible, though, I'll tell you that much.

In John Wick: Chapter 2, John Wick is back in the game to settle some debts, which forces him to cross paths with Cassian. Long story short, John Wick ends up on the top of the hit list, and every assassin with a gun and a gimmick in New York City tries to kill him. This includes Cassian, who is the only one of these foes who is even close to John Wick's level of badass and instant headshots. The two of them have some of the best one-on-one fights in the entire movie, and sadly it sounds like that feud will stay in John Wick 2.

While it was widely assumed that Common would return to reprise his role in John Wick 3: Parabellum, that is unfortunately not the case. In an interview with Coming Soon, Common revealed that he would not be returning for John Wick 3. Common didn't give any specific reason as to why that is, but it's apparently not due to any kind of falling out with the creative team. Common had nothing but nice things to say about his experience filming John Wick 2 and working with Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski.

It could just be that the creative team behind John Wick 3 felt that Cassian's story was over, though things were left open-ended. It's also possible that there was a scheduling conflict and Common wasn't able to commit to filming. He has nine credited roles listed on IMDb for 2018, so he really kept himself busy!

We might not see Cassian and John Wick square off again, but at least we'll always have this fight from John Wick 2.

In addition to Keanu Reeves, John Wick 3: Parabellum does star Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Ruby Rose, Lance Reddick, Laurence Fishburne, Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, and Said Taghmaoui. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on May 17, 2019.





John Wick: Chapter 2 was about everything we could have hoped for when it came to a sequel to the original action hit. While the first movie didn't set up for a sequel, the newest film certainly has.

Thor's Original Gladiator Look In Ragnarok Is Unrecognizable

Thor's Original Gladiator Look In Ragnarok Is Unrecognizable

There's plenty to love about Thor: Ragnarok, but one of the things that went over big with fans was just how comic book-y the film was. From the set design to the costumes, everything looked like it stepped right off the pages of an action-packed issue. It's nuts, then, to see what production was only considering using in the film, such as this alternate take on Thor's gladiator costume. It's far from the relatively simple design used in the movie, and it makes Thor almost unrecognizable. Check it out below.

If I hadn't told you beforehand that was Thor, then you probably wouldn't have made instant recognition. This concept art design for Thor's gladiator costume comes from Aleksi Briclot, who shared his work on his Instagram account. The artist noted that the design was "early exploration" and that it was meant to invoke the work of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby, who drew some real bonkers stuff back in the day. The Kirby inspiration was a specific request from director Taika Waititi, who peppered his film with Kirby-esque designs.

The concept art is certainly a departure from the typical Thor look. The movie's finished gladiator costume was pretty much just Thor with a helmet and haircut, so it's wild to see what was on the drawing table. The only thing that invokes the essential Thor aesthetic are the six dots along the chest. I'm not saying that this makes for a bad design overall, but I can see why they ultimately skewed to something more recognizable.

For those who may not know, Jack Kirby was a comic book artist responsible for drawing and co-creating some of the most iconic superheroes, especially on the Marvel side. He had a hand in creating Thor, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, and the X-Men, as well as Darkseid and the New Gods over at DC. Kirby had a tumultuous history with both publishers, never quite getting the credit he deserved (which is the case for many comic book writers and artists), but he's ultimately been recognized for his work. Cosmic fantasy was his specialty, and he was not simple or subtle in his approach, as he can see below.

The work of Jack Kirby aside, Thor: Ragnarok is an all-around entertaining movie no matter what Chris Hemsworth is wearing. You can next see Thor -- perhaps for the last time -- in Avengers 4, which is due to arrive in theaters on May 3, 2019. To learn more about the movie, here's everything we know so far.

Outlander's Sam Heughan Did Audition For James Bond

Outlander's Sam Heughan Did Audition For James Bond

The debate over who could take over as James Bond after Daniel Craig leaves has been raging for years now, with plenty of names bandied about regarding who could land the coveted role. One of those names has been Sam Heughan, the tall and very Scottish lead of Starz's Outlander. Recently, Sam Heughan revealed on Live with Kelly and Ryan that he did actually audition for the popular gig at one point. When asked whether or not he had entertained the idea of playing James Bond, he said:

Have I thought about it? Yeah, no I have a few times. I actually did audition for Bond a long time ago when they were redoing it with Daniel Craig, when he was Bond 21. They were going to go younger with him and it was a pretty cool experience. And it's about time we had a Scottish Bond.

Bond 21 was quite a while ago. Casino Royale came out way back in 2006--so, well over a decade ago. Sam Heughan would have only been 26 at the time the movie came out and he wasn't as well-known during that period as he is now. In fact, the Scottish actor at the time only had a few TV gigs under his belt, including River City and a guest stint on the popular crime drama Midsomer Murders. Although he revealed to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that Bond was looking to go younger during the Casino Royale period, the role eventually went to Daniel Craig, who was 38 when his first Bond flick came out.

Originally, it wasn't clear that Daniel Craig would be back for Bond 25, so the rumor mill has been talking about people who could potentially be a good fit for the role for quite a long while. Major names like Henry Cavill, Richard Madden, Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston have been bandied about. However, Sam Heughan has also stood out among those names as a popular pick and it's certainly interesting to learn that he did in fact try out for the role at one point. At this point, Sam Heughan is approaching 40, as well, which may actually be a point in his favor when casting for the next James Bond happens.

Sam Heughan and Kelly Ripa got into a spirited conversation about beautiful people during the Live with Ryan and Kelly episode and you can also watch them decide Diane Lane should be a Bond girl in Bond 26 in the full clip, below.

One issue to potentially signing on Sam Heughan as James Bond is his lengthy Outlander schedule. While Daniel Craig will likely be replaced as Bond after Bond 25 eventually hits theaters, Outlander has already been renewed for Seasons 5 and 6 on Starz and it's likely the series will continue longer than that. For example, the books Diana Gabaldon has written in the series currently tally in at 8 and the author is working on a ninth. With roughly one book covered per season of the TV show, Sam Heughan will likely be employed by the pay cable network for some time to come. So, we'll have to wait and see if James Bond is in the cards, as well.

For now, you can catch new episodes of Outlander on Sunday nights on Starz. Stay tuned for more Bond 25 info and Bond casting speculation here at CinemaBlend.

New Dark Phoenix Video Pays Tribute To The Entire X-Men Franchise

New Dark Phoenix Video Pays Tribute To The Entire X-Men Franchise

This feels a little bit like Goodbye. The X-Men movies are getting a tribute video ahead of the release of Simon Kinbergs Dark Phoenix, and because of what we know of the behind-the-scenes creativity shifts, this feels like a sendoff to the series forged at Fox as it might take up new residency in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But as this Legacy video points out, the X-Men Saga had a significant impact on the comic-book-movie landscape, and it has one more shot at success with a retelling of the Phoenix storyline:

This is a touching video because it shows how long the X-Men stories have been entertaining audiences, and leans into the brilliant casting that has been a hallmark of the franchise from day one. Getting the likes of Hugh Jackman, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, James McAvoy, Halle Berry and more to discuss their roles in the X-Men films, and the impact of the series, reminds us of how far this family has come.

It also shows how complicated it might be for Marvel Studios to essentially start over on the X-Men properties, because the Legacy thats established in this video cant just be erased and rebooted.

Do we want to see MCU versions of classic characters like Cyclops, Jean and Wolverine on screen some day? Sure, when we see what Marvel has done with the likes of Spider-Man, Black Panther and the Guardians of the Galaxy. But will it be easy to just overlook the work done by Jackman, Stewart, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan and more? Not exactly.

This tribute video also gets us even more excited for the work thats still to come in Dark Phoenix. If Fox allowed Kinberg to treat the movie like a sendoff, then we might get real closure for major characters who have earned a closing chapter in this mutant-movie book.

We are seeing significant sendoffs in the MCU (in Avengers: Endgame) and on HBO (with Game of Thrones). After all of these years, shouldnt the X-Men be able to say goodbye to their fans the way that they see fit?

Dark Phoenix looks like its going to go out on a blast. Sophie Turner will be bringing the classic Jean Grey comic-book storyline to life, being blessed and cursed with the power of the Phoenix when a routine space rescue mission goes south. The events are captured in the most recent trailer. Check it out here:

Its very possible that key members of the X-Men saga continue with Disney and Marvel when the MCU starts making X-Men movies. No concrete plans have bene announced. But for now, we still have Dark Phoenix to look forward to, and this tribute video was a satisfying appetizer for the mutant meal thats still to come.

Dark Phoenix opens everywhere on June 7. IMAX today announced that it will host early showtimes in its theaters on June 6, starting at 6 pm, so click here to grab tickets.




Dark Phoenix was released in the United States on June 7, 2019. It was previously set to be released on November 2, 2018, then rescheduled to be released on February 14, 2019, before being pushed to June. It is known as X-Men: Dark Phoenix for release in countries outside of the United States.
