'Justice League' reshoots extensive; Up: Cavill comments on 'stache

Seriously. I've been wanting a Justice League movie since I was a kid. The MCU is absolutely fantastic. But, those aren't the superheroes I grew up with.

My sentiment exactly.

I don't think these reshoots will hurt the movie, sure they came late into production but considering it will be Joss's strenghts (characterization, dialogue) plus Snyder's strong suit (action setpieces) together, in theory it's the best of both worlds.

Only official picture with Supes is this one.

I can't let go of how bad Cyborg looks.
 
I mean it sounds sensationalized but it pretty much 100% lines up with what Snyder himself said. He wanted more character moments and enlisted Whedon to help write them and he is now shooting them.

Yeah. If he didn't have that death in the family he would have ended up shooting the scenes himself

Either way whedon was writing them

Bodyshaming? He's an actor, hired to play a character. It isn't 'bodyshaming' to think he isn't in shape to play Batman.

He's still a bit round in the face, but he can turn that around in a few weeks with proper diet

He looks prettt built here. Look at those Batceps

Fuck joss whedon goddamn the guy's daughter kills herself and you turn the movie into something completely different

It's Whedon's job to make the movie good. The fact that this entails redoing almost everything Snyder did but the action scenes should not be a surprise to anyone who has ever seen a Snyder movie.

I'll say this about Superman.

WB probably won't put him in any trailer. The moment he does return they want you to see that moment in the theater.

Isn't this basically expected and standard of DC Universe movies at this point?

It'll sell gangbusters of course. I'll show up two weeks late to a matinee to watch the flash do work and i'm not even a DC fan.

Also - SuperJesus is the worst kept non-secret ever. I feel like they have his return geared as a pivotal moment in the movie but even casual fans have to see it coming from a mile away at this point right?

Flash pushing WWs sword toward her mid-fall is my favorite part of that trailer hands down. I really hope they go balls out with him and make QuickSilver look slow. The way Xmen did speedster was pretty fuckin perfect - yet to be topped. If anyone was gonna do it it should be Mr. Flash.

You need to chill. Because that's not what's happening at all.

Dude..even if this is a joke, tone it down.

Posted my idiot knee-jerk reaction and came back to delete it out of regret, my bad gaf. Looking forward to cgi moustache removal.

I hope you're correct, but the amount of bitching about it makes me think they might buckle..hope not.

I hope I am too. That's one moment I don't want shown to me in a trailer.

I was watching some reactions to the Comic Con trailer and some people at the end acted like they wanted it to be spoiled.

It was never even intended to be a secret though. The end of BvS makes it 100% clear that Supes is coming back.

Sounds like Superman is getting alot more screentime than originally planned. So glad Joss stepped in and im sure WB is too. But I wonder how much he can really do this late in the game. Also kinda wonder how they can still hit that release date when they are still doing reshoots lol.

The Secret is that Superman will have a sick mullet and digitally removed mustache lol.
 
Superman not being in the trailers isn't really a surprise or twist. Like Luke in Star Wars 7, his absence is a major thrust of the story. Trailers are trying to pitch that story. It's as simple as that.

Yeah. If he didn't have that death in the family he would have ended up shooting the scenes himself

Yeah. Whedon would've had the same job he had on Speed. Snyder just couldn't deal with going to London for several weeks away from his family and convinced Joss to help direct.

If they're shooting mostly dialogue scenes, than there's minimal post-production work compared to action stuff. They'll make November just fine.

Why are people worried about Affleck's fitness, they wear big padded suits, that isn't their muscles. Sure, a big fat bloke wouldn't work but these guys aren't like that.

Snyder's and Whedon's styles are so far apart I fear this will feel anything but cohesive.

Whedon literally did this same thing on hundreds of TV show episodes. And ghost wrote Speed. AND made Avengers coherent. AND flew to the set of Thor 2 at short notice to help fix the structure.

He's a pro at this.
 
"Impressive tache, Clark. Weren't you clean shaven yesterday?"

"I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO SHAVE THIS MORNING AND THE YELLOW SUN MAKES MY FACIAL HAIR GROW VERY QUICKLY."

There. Problem solved. Just get Henry to record that line and insert it into every scene where he's got whiskers.

Or he turns to the camera and says "fuck off, Gaf.

Yall I really don't think Zack is putting as much thought into that like some of you are.

Zack is super supportive and will most likely tweet out how happy he is with everyone, the product and Whedon for helping out.
 
And it would have been glorious.

Imagine "He told me you'd come" and then we cut back to Magnum Kal-El.

You know, I don't normally post in threads like these, and I'm positive I've never responded to you before Bobby... But I now really want Magnum Kal-El to be a thing. Thank you for this, hahaha!
