The DC Universe is right here, with co-CEO Jame Gunn bringing its first entry to theaters with Superman. The first slate of tasks is titled Gods and Monsters, and contains each motion pictures and undertaking streaming with a Max subscription. Each body of Gunn’s DC blockbuster is being dissected by followers, and the filmmaker just lately shared the surprisingly candy backstory behind one in every of Superman‘s weirdest characters.
Superman did nicely 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 couple of 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 is perhaps 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 nicely, however he simply is perhaps the one one on this planet Lex has any true sentiment for, as evidenced by the picture on his desk. Our Mr. Good-looking was portrayed by the fantastic @trevor_newlin
This publish got here with a collection of photographs 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 assume he simply cannot overlook his firstborn.
The picture of Mr. Good-looking on Lex’s desk is an easter egg that followers possible 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 nicely, 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 every part 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 lovable and so forth model.
It’s 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 a lot of heroes, and launched characters that shall be returning in future DC tasks. And we have already seen crossovers from the small to silver display screen, as Frank Grillo reprise his position as Rick Flag Sr. from Creature Commandos in Superman. Even John Cena obtained a cameo forward of Peacemaker Season 2.
Superman is in theaters now as a part of the 2025 film launch record, and Supergirl: Girl of Tomorrow will observe go well with on June 26, 2026. We’ll simply must see if Mr. Good-looking will get to return in some unspecified time in the future sooner or later.
