In James Gunn's 'Superman,' Clark Kent is accompanied by many allies and opponents, including Krypto and Daily Planet coworkers who assist in uncovering Lex Luthor's connections to Jarhanpur's illegal invasion. Each character gets a significant moment without overwhelming the narrative. Mr. Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, shines as he prioritizes intelligence over strength while helping Superman combat Lex Luthor. Gathegi has previously portrayed memorable characters in 'Twilight' and 'X-Men: First Class,' both of whom faced early exits from their respective stories, illustrating a broader industry trend regarding Black actors.
Gathegi's presence in both films is immense and magnetic, showcasing his ability to dominate screens despite the industry's tendency to sideline Black actors.
In James Gunn's 'Superman,' the titular hero is joined by an astonishing number of friends and foes, enhancing the narrative without feeling bloated.
Gathegi now stars as Mr. Terrific, a hero using brains over brawn to combat intergalactic threats and assist Superman in defeating Lex Luthor.
By 'Twilight: New Moon' and 'X-Men: First Class,' both Laurent and Darwin had been killed off, despite almost every other character continuing.
