I read this as "James Gunn just cast his brother in every DC role" and was briefly very excited for Sean Gunn as Wonder Woman.

[@jmfilms2001]

Funny enough, James Gunn just made a post on his insta about Maxwell Lord with comic panels of him and the JLI

[@user-io9hj9ip2d]

The fact that Maxwell Lord is in this universe, along with Guy Gardner, possibly Ted Kord if the Blue Beetle movie is canon and Booster Gold makes the possibility of a JLI movie or series an actual possibility and that's honestly some of the most exciting news from the DCU so far

[@stevencooper564]

Sean is such a great character actor in all of his small bits but his arc as Kraglin makes me so excited to see him as someone like Lord.

[@straythorn0117]

my favourite thing to come out of all these castings is the feeling that the DCU is a world that has already been existing for a relatively long time even in superman legacy. We arent starting superman as the "first superhero of this universe" instead we are getting a universe that feels lived in, feels filled with heros who have already been doing their thing for years at this point. we arent building to a JUSTICELEAGUE TEAM UP MOVIE after a ton of origin stories, it feels more like we are exploring the underdogs of this universe of powerhouses. Honestly i really like this take, and im excited to see how it plays out. Im hesitantly intrigued at the very least

I’m glad Sean Gunn has a bigger and meater role than usual, Sean seems like a nice guy and I’m glad he has this opportunity

[@emilianogalicia3351]

I think that Sean Gunn would be amazing as Maxwell Lord if they took a similar Justin Hammer approach to him.

[@rogformer]

Sean Gunn actually has three roles in the DCU! Never forget Calendar Man!

[@dangibbins5435]

Max Lord in Supergirl just disappeared after filming moved to Vancouver, so it was never entirely clear where they were taking him, but he was starting to lean more friend than foe? So maybe DC is swinging back to "complicated ally" with Max. Certainly James Gunn had posted "Calling Max a villain is a little reductive." So it'll be neat to see where this goes.

[@mr.moviemafia]

Gunn actually mentioned the JLI with this announcement today - “I like the nuanced Max for sure. The “evil Max” is in some good stories by some good writers & artists, but I always loved the character in JLI for being multidimensional - same way I loved Waller in Ostrander’s squad. Two characters able to step out of the all-good or all-evil paradigm that was de rigueur in those days (and, still is, actually.)”

[@duck-ew5zs]

Looks like he's gunning for the "person who played the most comic book characters" title

[@BlackDynamite-kt5uz]

Jonathan Groff should be playing Maxwell Lord, that would be perfect.

[@Tuaron]

Honestly, the part that scares me right now is that so many characters are being cast and announced for what appears to be a single movie (with future appearances expected)...which makes me fear for that one movie, sounds like it's getting overstuffed. That said, as Nando says, GotG & TSS were solid, so I'm...willing to give Gunn/Superman: Legacy a chance.

[@mikoajczarnecki3388]

Sean Gunn played villainous role in The Terminal List with Chris Pratt. He was good.

[@abyssal113]

I hope he just shows up at the end of the Booster Gold movie and says "I'm putting together a team."

[@rus.t]

I can see him pulling a (movie) Ozymandias vibe with his Maxwell Lord

[@suto5704]

The day superman Legacy drops its first trailer is gonna be insane

[@williamdaviddiazcuchimaque7511]

Pedro pascal:yo soy inevitable

[@omarianderson4008]

I don’t think James would set his brother up for failure. I have hope

[@RSRye]

Maxwell Lord is genuinely one of my favorite dc characters; I’m glad Gunn is doing JLI, but imma be honest, this casting worries me a little, but I believe in giving him a shot, but damn if Gunn does what he did to Max, what he did to vigilante(change him cuz he isn’t that well known), I am gonna be pretty disappointed, but fingers crossed!
