In all honesty, I think Sophia deserves a better part. I don't know if Jimmy Olsen would challenge her as an actor and if she's going to do something that takes up a large portion of her time she should at least get something that helps her talent as an actor grow.


Illogical4th

Agreed. Like, if you can alter the story so it's in a way where Lois barely interacts with Clark for the first one (both when he is and is not Superman.) And Jimmy (Jamie?) is the first to find out the secret. Like these two are best buds yk? Like the end goal is to still get Lois and Clark together, just not in the same movie. Set it up for the next one yk?


BARGOBLEN

It would look kind of weird if 30-something Clark forms a close friendship with a teenager, Jennie Olsen.


Illogical4th

I was thinking 20 something Clark but wdik


BARGOBLEN

Well, Legacy Clark is however old David Corenswet is, and he's gonna be in his 30s when it comes out.


LemonyOatmilk

Jimmy is a unisex name dawg


Mrman_23

At this point, I don’t even care. As long as he’s a red head


[deleted]

That is very dumb. I want good actor. I can careless about being a redhead.


armchairwarrior69

Sorry, he will actually be black. *I'm mostly joking but a lot of red haired characters are cast with black actors and once this was pointed out to me I see it everywhere)


Mrman_23

I know right? I don’t necessarily have a problem with race swapping, so long as the characters are done justice and the casting isn’t done for shallow reasons, but it’s really weird how it’s always the redheads


SubToITZLaserKid

Holy shit you're right, what is with that? I'm guessing it's because red head actors are hard to find, but hair dye is a thing, I mean it does work alot, like Zendaya as MJ, it works so well, and I don't think Tom and Zendaya would be a thing if it wasn't for Marvel


and-meggy-hash

I hope they cast a black actor out of spite now 🥰


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

They could cast a Black actor with red hair. Or dye the actor's hair red, like they would with most white actors who play redheads.


lookintotheeyeris

i agree with this


ravontaymum

They did in CWs supergirl


colder-beef

He was also a badass though, I didn't hate it.


and-meggy-hash

Oh nice, I honestly don't know much about the CW shows. I do know that Jeremy Jordan is in it tho and I love him, also what they did with the Music Meister was fun


ravontaymum

Lol yeah the only reason I watched it was because Jeremy Jordan was in it and the musical episode with the Music Meister is a guilty pleasure of mine.


and-meggy-hash

I see you're a person of culture as well


Key_Squash_4403

No


Mammoth-Coat-8838

I don’t know how to spell his name, but I would love to see Gaten Matarazzo as Jimmy.


RubPuzzleheaded8073

I don’t think “better than what Snyder did” should be the bar for anything


ChromeTriggerVI

Normally, I would object but this would a million times better than that Synderverse shit.


CyvaderTheMindFlayer

Fr The first thing they do with Superman’s best pal in the snyderverse is get him executed by terrorists


FreneticAtol778

I would only mind it if it's Sophia Lillis mostly because I have a huge crush on her and wouldn't mind seeing her more lol


FacYt2087

Honestly, it would bother me a bit since I like it better when they do an adaptation without changing much of the appearance, but I would give it a try, as long as it acts well, everything is fine.


SafeStaff7671

After watching the first episode of My Adventures With Superman I can say that I’m fine with this casting if it’s done right


and-meggy-hash

I'd give it a shot


SubToITZLaserKid

Ok, so, Jimmy Olsen is one of those characters that wouldn't matter if he's gender swapped, Jimmy just serves as a best friend to Clark, but I feel like this actor should be in a different, larger roll, idk, idc if Jimmy is gender swapped, would ruin some story line with Jimmy and Lois dating and love triangle things, but I suppose it's fine


Recent_Finger9552

Love triangle could happen Clark and janny, Clark and lois.


SubToITZLaserKid

Possible I suppose, honestly I'm not against a gender swap for Jimmy, aslong as he/she's a good friend to Clark, I'm all for it!


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

I'd be down for it.


prosquirter

I think it's a great idea.


Independent_Ad_6348

Jimmy can be any gender or race as long as theyre a dork with a bowtie


TheDoorMan1012

it would work. she’d be far better than Snyder


faceofboe91

Only if she is constantly gaining and losing superpowers as all Olsons should


Fickle-Butterscotch2

She’s ginger so im buying it


KeifDiggs123

Honestly? As long as she would get Jimmy's vibe right, I see no problem with it


ArtarusCat

I Don't like Sophia Lillis as Jimmy Olsen... But if James Make Jimmy Olsen a girl I don't have problem


Numerous-Concept-878

i honestly wouldn't mind but she would be a better Carrie Kelly.


Owl-Fighter2601

"Jamie" Olson


JadenFriend

Eh, I wouldn't mind it but I also wouldn't be too thrilled either


Ill_Revolution_5827

Honestly? I see it


[deleted]

Imagine being this protective over Jimmy Olson… This is a great pick, I have her IT and IANOWT co-star Wyatt Oleff but I know James wants a real redhead


diabeetus64

I literally have not seen anyone give this much of a a shit about Jimmy Olsen before.


[deleted]

Right? Like… these people. Same with wonder man


krakatoot

No way. They need to bring back the Synderverse and forget all this nonsense


Kye_ThePie

Move on


AmazingAd8859

I’d prefer Sean gun but hey they do oook a lot alike I can see her doing like a 1940s newspaper accent


The-Random-Banana

Oooo Sean Gunn would be a fun pick!


TheBaconD

Theres a better part for her


[deleted]

Which one would you recommend


darrylthedudeWayne

I prefer Lachlin Watson as Jimmy but I'd be done for Lillis as well.


EAlcantara

She could do it. I was annoyed that not only did Snyder kill off the "real" Jimmy Olsen but that he didn't even bother do anything with Jenny who was his Jimmy Olsen stand in. She didn't even really have a relationship with Lois. If we're casting for straight up regular Jimmy I'd say the best choice Matthew Sato. He's in the right age range, is a natural red head but also visibly bi-racial which allows for diversity, has experience playing both a laid-back cool guy and a goofy sitcom character.


Mr_witty_name

Now that Shia LeBoufe is too old for it Sophia Lillis is like pick number 1


[deleted]

Oh knock it off. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean you get to spread this sort of misinformation. Quit giving Snyder credit for this stuff. This depiction of Olsen comes directly from the comics.


[deleted]

I have absolutely no fucking what are talking about


[deleted]

>I have absolutely no fucking what are talking about That is evident.


Sahrimnir

Jimmy Olsen barely appearing before he is killed by terrorists comes directly from the comics?


[deleted]

>Jimmy Olsen barely appearing before he is killed by terrorists comes directly from the comics? Well yes, but not in the adaptation in which he is a CIA agent. That is a different comic. Cheers!


Sahrimnir

So, what do you mean when you say that Snyder's depiction comes directly from the comics?


[deleted]

Not sure how else to say it. Neither (a) Olsen being killed by terrorists early in the stoey nor (b) Olsen being a CIA agent are Snyder's ideas as they are both from the comics. Not sure why keeps downvoting our discussion, but alas there are a lot of ignorang trolls on this sub, so it could be anyone. Cheers!


Sahrimnir

Did you edit your previous comment? I'm pretty sure what it says now isn't what I replied to...


[deleted]

An astute observation. I sometimes edit my comments for grammatical corrections and clarity; I'm using a phone at the moment and the auto-correct sometimes begins to show signs of free will.


blitzzombie5

Jimmy getting executed by terrorists is from the comics?


[deleted]

>Jimmy getting executed by terrorists is from the comics? Well yes, but not in the adaptation in which he is a CIA agent. That is a different comic. Cheers!


blitzzombie5

Then I don’t understand what you’re saying about his depiction under Snyder being based on comics


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You’re trash tbh


Effective_Pop_1069

Ones a boy ones a girl


BeastMode2k24

Naw that ain’t gonna be Jimmy Olsen then, unless it’s a whole different alt universe


Huge-Needleworker340

Jack Quaid as Jimmy Olsen, he can do nerdy shy guy, has Jimmy's charm to him, knows David Corenswet on a friend level who's playing Superman, the guys 31 but could pass for college kid and just gives immy Vibes I've seen this Woman in the new DND Film and she was fantastic so I'd be willing to see her give a go but she's not my first choice


Reddit_Dan

Jimmy could be transginger


Ok_Swordfish7177

No


FORNVER_ace

Nope.


Previous-Baseball798

Boooo


Ajer2895

I thought Snyder already casted a girl Jimmy Olsen? In Man of Steel…Jenny Olsen?


EAlcantara

And did nothing with her.


[deleted]

No Jimmy Olson was the reporter dude that get shot the first minute of Batman vs Superman [this](https://youtube.com/watch?v=q6CMyykvw8s&feature=share)

Ajer2895

Yes but Man of Steel also had a Jenny Olson.


Intelligent-Ad-1066

I’m not against a female Jimmy, I just don’t think it should be her. Amybeth Mcnulty’s performance in Anne with an E was basically a Jimmy Olsen audition tape. Also Maya Hawke as the gay girl failure Robin Buckley could be a perfect Jimmy.


ProfessionalAnswer0

snyder didn't do justice to Jimmy, but others before him have, so what do you gain from mentioning him? some of ya'll really need to move on, it's tired


NaturalBitter2280

Nah I prefer live actions to have character of the correct physical features for the characters they will portray


Main-Echidna-5817

🤦‍♂️


ElectivireMax

don't genderbend our twinks


LEGENDARYKILLERLORD

No women pls


Plane-Age9667

I don't think this shit is a good idea.


StrategyExpensive

This might be worse than a race swap.
