A lighter tone, but not MCU goofy.
Moving ahead from Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve a bit, but not completely ignoring their movie(s). Zack Snyder should NOT be involved.
More than one villain that we’ve never had cinematically before: Brainiac, Parasite, Toyman seem like characters James Gunn would use in his style.
No Lex or Zod or Batman! They’ve been done way too much.
Don’t kill off characters just for shock value.
Supergirl and the supporting cast get time to shine.
Use graphic novels as a influence. Geoff Johns and Mark Waid would great starting points.
I was hoping for more Doyle, but this film seems to be conceived as very different from the previous ones. And Branagh apparently wanted to try someone else.
Edit: I understand Doyle was not available this time because he was writing music for the coronation.
One nice thing about Death on the Nile being delayed so many times is that we get the third film a year and half later. It’s almost like Bond in the 60s.
For the most part, the motorized vehicle chases in Indy never disappoint. I’ve liked them all, they’re always entertaining. George Lucas has mentioned those are his favorite scenes in the movies.
The negative thing that I can joke about is Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s birthmark is really distracting.
