The DC Universe is right here, with co-CEO Jame Gunn bringing its first entry to theaters with Superman. The primary slate of initiatives is titled Gods and Monsters, and consists of each motion pictures and venture streaming with a Max subscription. Each body of Gunn’s DC blockbuster is being dissected by followers, and the filmmaker lately shared the surprisingly candy backstory behind one in all Superman‘s weirdest characters.
Superman did effectively on the field workplace, and has moviegoers hyped for upcoming DC motion pictures. Now that his film is out, Gunn has been capable of communicate freely about it contents. Over on threads the filmmaker spoke a few small however memorable character: Mr. Good-looking aka the creature that drove Lex round his pocket universe. He defined its origins, providing:
When individuals ask me my favourite character from @Superman it simply could be Mr. Good-looking. Lex created Mr. Good-looking in a Petri dish when he was 12 – he was making an attempt to make a human. He did not come out so effectively, however he simply could be the one one on the planet Lex has any true sentiment for, as evidenced by the picture on his desk. Our Mr. Good-looking was portrayed by the great @trevor_newlin
This publish got here with a sequence of images that includes Mr. Good-looking from the set of Superman. That features a shot of Lex Luthor’s desk, which really featured a photograph of the horrifying creature. I suppose he simply cannot overlook his firstborn.
The picture of Mr. Good-looking on Lex’s desk is an easter egg that followers doubtless missed upon seeing the blockbuster in theaters. It additionally does not assist that Superman threw the desk throughout the room in a rage upon discovering Krypto lacking. Now I’ve to surprise what occurred to this creepy creature after Superman‘s ending. Is the poor man in jail as effectively, or was he left in that pocket universe?
Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor was completely ruthless all through Superman, inciting wars and making an attempt the whole lot in his energy to homicide David Corenswet’s title character. He was additionally proven to kidnap anybody who barely bothered him and caught him within the pocket universe the place Mr. Good-looking resided. So seeing the softer aspect of the DC villain through this bizarre creature is each cute and so forth model.
It is fascinating to see the best way the DCU is coming collectively, and (in fact) how James Gunn is placing his personal spin on issues. Superman featured plenty of heroes, and launched characters that might be returning in future DC initiatives. And we have already seen crossovers from the small to silver display, as Frank Grillo reprise his function as Rick Flag Sr. from Creature Commandos in Superman. Even John Cena acquired a cameo forward of Peacemaker Season 2.
Superman is in theaters now as a part of the 2025 film launch listing, and Supergirl: Lady of Tomorrow will observe go well with on June 26, 2026. We’ll simply should see if Mr. Good-looking will get to return in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
