Shooting has concluded, and Deadline has reported that sources suggest Alan Tudyk has a role in James Gunn's Superman that has not yet been disclosed.
Tudyk has an extensive history with DC-related characters, including voicing the villain Doctor Phosphorus, who emerges from a nuclear plant meltdown, in Gunn's forthcoming Max animated series, Creature Commandos, as well as portraying Joker and Clayface in the Max animated series Harley Quinn.
Jimmy Olsen's best appearance is in "The Nail." What a fascinating What If that story is.
Director James Gunn celebrated the 86th anniversary of Jimmy Olsen's debut by unveiling the official image of Skyler Gisondo portraying the photographer from the Daily Planet.
QuoteHappy Anniversary to Supermans pal, Jimmy Olsen, who debuted on this day in 1941 (although he did appear earlier as office boy in Action Comics 6). Created by Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster & Bob Maxwell. I cant wait for you to see @SkylerGisondos portrayal in #Superman on July 11, 2025. @dcofficial @superman
I won't say anything until I watch that movie ...!
Yeah, I mean, it's the Kingdom Come logo basically, which was cool for that story, but I would prefer a more classic version for a movie - unless the movie IS Kingdom Come, of course, which this one is not. Why do they always want to mess with it, anyway? Even the Snyder-verse symbol had werid, minor tweaks that made it look off. The Superman Returns one was pretty close and probably the best "modern" take, but still - why mess with...perfection?
I'm from the school of "if it ain't broke, keep your hands off it"....its not horrible, but really not seeing a reason to change it. Oh well.
James Gunn has revealed the official DCU Superman emblem on Threads with the release date set for July 11th, 2025.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cat Grant, and Ron Troupe, two reporters for the Daily Planet, will be portrayed by Mikaela Hoover and Christopher MacDonald in James Gunn's Superman.
I'm guessing he's playing Steve Lombard. He's a perfect fit for the character. Just needs a mustache.Edit: I was right
