Who Would Be The Best Main Villain For Superman: Legacy?
While Nicholas Hoult is being eyed to play Lex Luthor , his deal is n’t signed yet , and it ’s unclear if he is really going to be the primary opponent inSuperman : Legacy . If Lex is only a secondary threat in the DC Universe picture , it beg the question of who would actually be a good villain to go with inSuperman : Legacy . WithSuperman : Legacylooking to total something raw to the Man of Steel ’s media story , this would be the right fourth dimension to feature one of the moreunused Superman villainswho have yet to be feature on the braggart screen .
Even though Gunn may be playing coy about him , Brainiac would actually be the perfect first enemy for Corenswet ’s Superman . One of the things that worked well with Man of Steel was having General Zod and his Kryptonian army invade Earth , setting up a massive threat from the get - go for Clark . IfSuperman : Legacygoes in a similar approaching with Brainiac as the collector of universe , it would allow the DC Universe to get a major first for the raw enfranchisement , and coiffe up DCU ’s galactic landscape alongside determine up its version of Earth .
Kryptonis a perfect example of how a creative squad can take full reward of Brainiac in lively - action , both from his ocular look to his brawny presence in the DC Universe . Though Brainiac has fuck off his time to fall on television , the movies have omit him for far too foresighted , andSuperman : Legacycould finally rectify that . Hopefully , as 2023 mystify ready to end , moreSuperman : Legacynews will emerge , including who is the existent villain .
