No reports have spelled it out, but it sounds like Sylvester Stallone would play the retired superhero in question.
It’s also wide enough, clearly, for movies like Joker — which was based on a famous DC Comics character but not considered a “superhero movie.”
Brightburn went for that angle in 2019 and it didn’t quite connect with as many people as hoped, but I do think the superhero genre is wide enough to allow for more original stories.
I’m excited to see another original superhero film.
