Rumored Jimmy Olsen Subplot in SUPERMAN Sounds Like It Will Be Funny If True
Fans are looking forward to seeing David Corenswet step into the cape and boots of Superman this summer, but one cool thing about the movie is that it’s so rich with DC characters, and fantastic actors portraying them.
It will be interesting to see all the new takes on the 80+ years of iterations we’ve seen so far, and knowing James Gunn’s style, there will be a lot of laughs and a lot of heart behind each of these new takes.
One small rumor that’s floating around right now is in regard to a subplot involving the character Jimmy Olsen, the young photojournalist working for the Daily Planet, who is close friends with Lois Lane and Clark Kent. He is being portrayed in the film by Skyler Gisondo. The tip comes from scooper ViewerAnon (via CBM) who shared:
"There's a subplot where supermodel Eve Teschmacher is in love with Jimmy Olsen but he can’t stand her," they claimed. "This is supposed to be great, [by the way] - just pointing toward tone."
The actress playing Eve Teschmacher is Sara Sampaio. She’s beautiful, and this sounds like a silly and fun dynamic.
The scoopers also commented on reactions they’ve heard about the film, saying, "The response I heard directly from Warner Bros was decidedly less glowing than Daniel [Richtman]'s post. Not to say it went terribly, but it’s a divisive film with a particularly silly tone. Some people click with it, some seem to bounce right off."
Gunn does have a decided style that maybe isn’t for everyone, but so far, I’ve enjoyed the superhero movies he’s made. So I’m optimistic.
Superman flies into theatres on July 11th.
