I disagree with Jason Mamoa and Amber Heard being weak actors. Especially Amber. You can definitely get what you need out of them. Getting one a-list actor is going to help the movie they are indeed surrounded by way "weaker" actors. Just stop trying to force us to like Aquaman and just make a good movie. People will come around.

You know it's dumb when Anthony Hopkins is listed... he's in Thor. But I'm not surprised people keep forgetting considering just how terrible and forgettable those movies are.

I bet Ben Mendehlson is on Marvel and WB's list for a villain role right now.
Ever since TDKR and Animal Kingdom dude's been the go-to guy for a great slimeball performance.

Don't know what that has to do with it. He probably shows up for 2-3 weeks on Thor and goes home, especially now that he's likely relegated to cameo status from here on out.

Have Ezra Miller play Thawne. Doesn't he get plastic surgery in certain incarnations to look just like Barry when they go with the 'biggest fan gone insane when learning he's destined to be the Flash's nemesis' origin?

Wouldn't mind Patrick Wilson as Orm or Eobard. I've seen him in roles where he skirts the line between sleazy and sincere.

Isn't he the President in DCCU?

that would work but he's been in his element as of late as just the earnest and genuinely good guy in stuff like Bone Tomahawk and Conjuring series. I'd like to see him play more family man roles haha. He could have played a young Johnathan Kent in another world.
Keanu as Orm sounds cool but dude is gonna have to bring the menace. He only worked as a badass in John Wick when he let his guns do the talking.
Nope. Don't have a PC.

Well, you never see him so they could get around it.

Did someone say Keanu Reeves? Pff, we aren't worthy of that. Better chance of getting Daniel Day-Lewis. I mean, look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpMvDC7UYfQ
He'd make everyone look terrible, even Batfleck. Just too good to be true.

Imagine the meltdown if DC got him.
Zack Snyder directing DDL. Ohh the glory. Someone gather the DragonBalls.
That would probably give him an aneurysm.

I'd like Toby Kebbell to play Steppenwolf if he's in the film. A bunch of nerds would be crying about fantastic four after the announcement but i think he's a fantastic supporting actor when given something alright to do and dude rocks at mo-cap. he's like a better looking Andy Serkis more or less.
If if it was Terrio da gawd who chose him, there's probably a good reason for that.
Rundown of things that were in the Man of Steel novel but not the movie.
I got to say, some of this stuff sounds amazing and should have been in.

You mean da false gawd, right?
Having a glorified henchman as the big bad for the first JL would kill all of my hype. Darkseid for JL1 and then the Legion of Doom for the second please.
I want a Man of Steel Directors Cut now

One day we'll get the ultimate Snyder experience. 4 hour movie incoming. Hopefully it's Justice League
if only

Nah. It'd be nice to see a comic book movie that's actually 2 hours and paced well for once.
Snyder filmed that scene of baby Clark screaming and blowing out windows. I can't remember exactly why he cut it but I think it had something to do with it being just one too many flashbacks and it not fitting anywhere.
Once again, little details paint a whole different perspective. Zack needs to sit down and re examine his Editing decisions. He's giving priority to things that don't deserve it.
Some guy is uploading scenes from the UC here: https://www.youtube.com/user/superstarwarsrocks/videos
What did he mean by this?

Perhaps Justice League news is purposefully delayed until after The Ultimate Cut comes out and improves people's opinion of Zick Snyder.
More like waiting for a comic con blow out
It's like little things that are not that important are told in a IN YOUR FACE way, while the most important plot or character points are left for the viewer to analize and try to "understand". At the same time, the Martha scene was as IN YOUR FACE as you can get, and there are people that still don't get it. In the end I feel his movies get critized a lot more because of what they should be and not what they are.
That senate bombing scene aftermath
Wow. How was this not in the theatrical cut? How?
It was legitimately emotional, and really drives home the burden facing Superman in the film.
I'm not even gonna watch the rest, but that scene alone is one of the biggest editing blunders I've ever seen.
Holy shit yeah. It kinda makes you think that even Superman can't save everyone. So sad.
From what I have seen, Orm is like Loki right? I think they need a charismatic actor, especially if they are going for the difference in size, a la Thor/Loki.
That being said, I hope they get Keanu somehow somewhere. Also I would love Eddie Redmayne in something as well
A couple things on the senate scene: When they have cut out the scene of him sad in the fire? I mean, if he's going to save people then he should do it right away. And shouldn't the bodies be more burnt up or damaged? I think that was the Senator he was carrying? It was a pretty big blast. But yea, they should have left it in there, instead of the sad fire scene that people just made fun of.

There is really one new scene, and the rest is just extensions of existing scenes. Pretty much fits with what Snyder said, that they removed only one scene.
There's a couple little things there that would have been cool, but it's nothing earth shattering. Pretty much the exact same story.

Some of those scenes . . .
That one with
Jena, Lois and Lex
quoting the wrong post lol.
Yeah, exactly - this cut puts back in the vital connective tissue, Deb Snyder said that from the start.

Nice music. Clark looking legit shook. Looking at Lois.
I laughed at that extended piece of the title fight. I can see why that was cut. Supes just looked like a bully there.
Yeah, still think that was dumb as fuck.
That better be false.
Fuck them for that. There's a couple of scenes in there where Cavill gives off a Reeve vibe. It's like they are actively against promoting Superman.
Anyway, more awkward moments with Diana Prince.
Having seen the UC and Roven having confirmed that a rougher version of it was used for the first friends/family/internal screenings (the "standing ovation" ones in Aug), this seems very much true.
Here is the complete playlist of new scenes
Shit is like a different movie. I'd dare to say some of them feel very Nolan-like.
And yes, most scenes are CLARK/SUPERMAN SCENES. Cavill's voice is so sexy.

Obviously, just a heads up - it's not all of them. and this isn't just a case of scenes added in, it's how they all fit together, how a lot of the existing TC ones are expanded also, and how some are re-ordered too. Seeing scenes out of context is just one piece of the puzzle.
Yea, everything from Africa is missing and
the actress confessing she was paid off
Yes of course, but the difference is palpable. The senate scene is hearbreaking.
