James Gunn reveals that the character Dc Kevin Feige told him that he wanted to see in a movie

In the worlds that are always gear of Marvel and DC, it is not every day that the head of the Marvel Studios Kevin Feige Radic publicly for a character of the rival camp. But that’s exactly what happened recently.

While now we live in the temporal sequence where James Gunn is modeling the new DCU, the Guardians of the galaxy The director revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that his longtime collaborator Marvel had a strong opinion on who he would like to see himself presenting in a sequel to Superman.

The name Feige fell was nothing more than, Byzant. Gunn said:

“It’s funny, [Marvel Studios President] Kevin Feige wrote to me yesterday, he says he hopes his old Byzanti friend … [Laughs] He wants to see Byzant. “

With how Superman It ends, Feige has clearly seen the seeds planted just like the rest of us. We have already seen tips for duality in David CorenswetPerformance, playing both Superman and his second -hand clone Ultraman.

While Gunn has not confirmed that Ultraman will evolve in the Byzanti, the clues are certainly there for fans who pay close attention.

Gunn has made fun of some deeper layers that were originally planned for the representation of Ultraman, even noting a demolished element that spread further in the tragic Trope of figure. He said:

“At one point there were saddest things I had from the script that I really liked. [as Ultraman].

“He has a chin that is protruding, his ears pulls out, he has an eye that goes in a little direction. [Luthor] He brought him out of the oven a little too quickly or something. “

This paints an image of an imperfect creation, which aligns magnificently with the classic Byzantine archetype: a well -intended but broken mirrored image of Superman, misunderstood and manipulated. There is an emotional depth that only waits to be extracted here in the DCU, and with Gunn’s love for the “bizarre” characters, a Byzant one feels like the perfect solution for his narrative sensitivity.

While the DCU Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters Lineup already includes Eric Frankenstein and the Commandos creatureThe idea of exploring the painful crisis of the identity of Byzanti through the Superman lenses could take the upper -playing stakes even higher.

We are not saying that Ultraman will become bizarre. But if he does, it would be an interesting move. Set an arch of identity, empathy and what it means to be “defective” in a world that glorifies perfection. You can bet that Clark Kent would be to face that conflict frontally.

So yes, Feige wants Byzant in the DCU and honestly, who can blame him?
