Is brainiac being the villain of superman 2 too obvious?

>>149722098 (OP)
His turn is LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG overdue.

>>149722098 (OP)
its gonna be idris elba as manchester black, but hes not gonna sound like hes from manchester in the slightest.

You're going to get Luthor every time, and you're going to like it.

>>149722161
ive liked him as an actor since skins and about a boy. im happy with that.

>>149722098 (OP)
I think we all know that its going to be a Christmas movie where superman has to rescue Santa from a hit by lobo.

>>149722098 (OP)
Let it be obvious. I'm tired of them trying to pull the wool over our eyes for no reason other than just because it makes them think they're clever.

>>149722098 (OP)
Fuck CW for not allowing a 5th, true final season of Superman & Lois. They were gonna bring in the Brainiac from the show Krypton as the mastermind.

Should Superman 2 also be episodic in plot structure?

>that lex's face
well thats really fucking unsettling.

>>149722206
he's uncastable.

>>149722117
FPBP it's staring them right in the face. He's NEVER had a live action movie appearance and he's arguably Supes greatest villain. It's especially egregious when literally every Superman movie has just had Luthor as the villain.

That's just because they want to hire talentless nepo babies. Actually go looking for a good actor and you'll find one.

We are most likely gonna get an adaptation of the Geoff Johns version

>>149722098 (OP)
I'd prefer an ensemble film featuring Parasite, Livewire, Metallo, Toyman, maybe Atomic Skull. Save Bizarro for the Justice League vs Legion of Doom film

>>149722098 (OP)
As everyone else said, it is overdue. It would be a great fit too.

Worst possible choice would be to do Zod honestly. I literally won't see it if he is picked, but I think we are safe there.

>>149724901
They definitely won't do Zod after Man of Steel. At best people would think it was a rehash, at worst people dislike him now and wouldn't care.

>>149722206
This was secretly a great Brainiac story.

>>149724901
If we ABSOLUTELY must do another Kryptonian, it should be a different Phantom Zoner, like Kru-El or something, since Gunn loved making the Els evil, let's bring back Clark0s evil uncle.

>>149725025
Yeah, I am pretty sure they won't either. I was just thinking on who would be the worst pick, and it really has to be him.

>>149722117
This. It's fairly 'obvious' but he should've been in a movie decades ago

>>149722098 (OP)
I would set him up for a third movie by being behind the villain of the second one.

>>149724901
>It would be a great fit too.
Yes, Brainiac would fit in the Gunnverse like a perfect glove. It just makes too much sense.

>>149722098 (OP)
The only way he isn't the villain of Superman 2 (if the Superman sequel even is Superman 2), would be if he is the villain of a theoretical Justice League 1.

Coworker and me were talking about the DC slate and he brought up good theory. He thinks Superman 2 will be team up movie with supergirl. Maybe they team up braniac in her flick and they team up to tackle him. Would be dope and hope that’s the idea.

>>149725988
it's gonna happen
