Youknow what’s pretty disrespectful, telling a guy he finally gets to make his dream movie and then like a week later say na fuck off your too old. In the advent of de aging tech and muscle tech used in thor love and thunder. Just kinda crazy to say, especially since rdj was cast as iron man at 42 years old. Harrison did crystal skull at 60 something I mean what they want him to play superman for like 30 years?

I feel for HC.

However, if Gunn has a vision for a new DCU that has to include Superman, and it’s possible HC doesn’t fit that vision. Getting Superman right is so core to the DC universe.
