Welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. During their visit in Manila, I got to sit down with the cast and director to talk about their bold, fresh take on Superman. We dive into everything from deepfakes and online conspiracies to Lois having her own podcast, Superman’s punk rock edge, and what it means to be a symbol of hope in the age of memes, social media, and public scrutiny. This isn’t your typical Superman—and that’s exactly why I'm so excited for this film. Fangirls and fanboys, David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and James Gunn!
