For who’s not a Superman fan, they might miss how important this tidbit is, but for any true SUPERMAN fan or for the
SMALLVILLE generation, hearing a major Hollywood director, head of a studio division, saying he “didn’t cast Lois and Clark, he cast CLOIS” feels so surreal, and once again makes absolute sense why JAMES GUNN is the guy for the job and we’ve been just wasting time before.
He is CLEARLY a fan, he knows what is truly special about these characters and what’s important to the people who love those characters, and knows how there is no Clark without Lois and vice-versa.
The usage of the acronym CLOIS in itself already blew my mind, that’s how fans talk about and shippers refer to the Clark & Lois as a power couple, specially in the SMALLVILLE forums era. After seeing the trailer I had already 100% certainty he is delivering the SUPERMAN we always dreamed about. But after seeing the interviews from the day he presented the trailer, I’m literally like WHY IS HE DIRECTING SUPERMAN ONLY NOW??? HE WAS THE GUY FROM THEY ONE, we just didn’t know it.
We could have avoided so much if he had picked Superman instead of TSS back in 2018… but oh well, maybe we had to face whatever we faced and see the previous universe implode so a fresh take could really take flight. And I’m here for it!!!
Rachel Brosnahan on the relationship between #Superman & Lois:
“They’re soulmates. They’re united in the fact that they are both in the relentless pursuit of truth and justice, but they approach the world in totally different ways.
She’s somebody, because of her profession but also because of who she is, she questions everything. She questions everyone. She’s trying to see around every corner and that’s the way that she faces the world.
And Superman is just radically present in every moment. He solves every issue that’s directly in front of him. I think the ways that they are opposite is something that is fun to watch. It’s fun to watch them bump up against each other sometimes…in more than one way. And then it’s fun to watch the way in which they really are united. That’s a little bit of a nothing burger of an answer but they both work hard and play hard and love hard.”
