Ahhhh, they will drop Henry Cavill, a handsome, well-built, seemingly extremely sweet guy who respects his fans. Then they get some rando black guy with a fraction of his charisma and if you say you don't care for him, they will just blame racism.
The audience can't get attached to someone just because you order. Big name creators still don't understand that. It takes us time to get that connection. Same goes with the fictional characters themselves.
I find it funny how out of touch Hollywood people are with what makes humans feel feelings. They sound like a bunch of lizardmen, being baffled by human emotions, desperately trying to work us.
OMG, did you hear? Uncharismatic, rude, bitchy actress with no light in her glassy, dead eyes EATS PIZZA, UWU. Now feel stuff!
Will they choose an annoying sounding British man, completely contradicting the concept of Superman growing up in America, or some city-raised basketball-American that will litter the script with slang and ebonics that only the most astute of mumble rappers would be able to decipher? I'm not sure which I would hate more. Probably the Brit.
You yanks sound way more annoying with your sloppy replication of our language ;)
I don't mean that English accents are annoying (except cockney), just that Superman should never sound anything other than average middle-American, like Bond should never be anything other than a proud Briton. I would happily watch a small skit of Superman with a Yorkshire accent, though. I'd have a good laugh at that.
