I couldn’t be happier that Brainiac is a villain(s). It’s about time for Brainiac to get some cinematic action. He feels right for James Gunn to adapt. Could he make a last minute cameo in Supergirl next year? I hope so. I just hope that Brainiac is a legit alien threat, not something Lex made. That has been done too much in Superman movies for too long. I also hope he’s not coming to Earth to make a new Krypton. Zod has been doing that for awhile now too! I’d take Toyman as the main villain at this point! He still would make a good side villain in the future, though. In particular with James Gunn in charge. Other Superman villains who should make cinematic villains soon are: Silver Banshee, Parasite, and Mongul, as they are some of the better Superman side villains. One can hope we’ll see them soon!
People have been comparing Lars Eidinger to Christoph Waltz. Being not well known to American audiences but taking a big villain role. I think that will possibly help him disappear into the role. I just also hope that Man of Tomorrow isn’t overstuffed like some people called out for Superman (2025). But there are Superman fans who have waited longer than me for Brainiac to make his big screen debut. If he had debuted 10-20 years ago, I would have gone with Ralph Fiennes or Daniel Craig. For their voices and their body builds. To think, we could see the Man of Tomorrow trailer within a year from now!
So good that the fourth film was announced and scheduled to open, when was it, last year?
Seriously, though, Pine and the rest of the casting for the Abrams-produced Star Trek movies were excellent, and it is a shame that Paramount could do nothing with them.
