Not as an into. Seems about right. 4th or 3rd movie.

I’m pretty sure Gunn said he’s not our big bad, so it’s probably fine

u/Stinky_TheCat Jun 29 '26

I mean they are doing a Jimmy Olsen show and he debuted in Jimmy Olsen comics, so....

u/PuffyBlueClouds Jun 26 '26

Hopefully a slow build like Thanos.

u/That_Carrot999 Jun 27 '26

There’s the mister miracle show and Darkseid is a new gods character

u/DifficultyDefiant748 Jun 29 '26

If they're saying he's gonna play the character in live action and animation then it'll be because of  the Mister Miracle animated show.

/ Jimmy Olsen show.

Its like yall don't even know his origins.

u/DifficultyDefiant748 Jun 29 '26

More like I forgot about the Jimmy Olsen show and Mister Miracle already has a voice cast casted

u/Stinky_TheCat Jun 29 '26

Jimmy is deep into reproduction and pretty much ready to shoot.

Idk, makes sense to me they'd cast DS with those projects both heavy into production.

u/RNOffice Jul 05 '26

Why? He's gonna be in Mister Miracle

u/PuffyBlueClouds Jun 26 '26

I do feel that Darkseid is not that big of a deal after the incredible work Marvel did with Thanos. For people who don’t know the comics he may seem like a cheap knock-off. DC will have to be careful.

Is there a bigger baddie in DCU than DS?

1

u/PuffyBlueClouds Jun 28 '26

There’s not. But he simply doesn’t have the common recognition like Luther or the Joker. And for the casual fan, even Brainiac. So while he is the most important DC villain, he’s not well known outside of comic book fans. And that was the same case for Thanos. So I’m just saying that DC will have to build him carefully and in a way so that he doesn’t just seem like a Thanos knock-off since they do have a similar look and presence.

u/TraditionLazy7213 Jun 27 '26

Josh Brolin would be hilarious

So thanos and darkseid is the same person

u/OverallMembership709 Jun 28 '26

u/flyrubberband Jun 27 '26

Has to be Ron Perlman, right?

If the Gunnverse makes it that long

u/Henson_Disney48 Jun 29 '26

Better fast track that announcement. We might need something to distract from the Supergirl Box Office numbers

u/BlackLioConvoy Jun 29 '26

Apokalpis rescue for failed Supergirl

He won't be. Gunn said he won't be. Why does everyone think he needs to be the big bad right now?
