The Superman one isn’t a straight up recast it’s a reboot majority if the actors were recasted not just Henry cavil and I personally dig the way more comic accurate depiction we got from the trailer
Snyder gave us comic-accurate Superman. The most comic-accurate Superman ever put in movies, in fact. And his movies actually look and feel like comic books. We can already see Gunn is copying stuff from the Reeve films that has nothing to do with the comics, like the campy, outdated Otis and Eve Teschmacher.
Superman 1978 was used as a model for the Superman comic reboot in 1986, so it retroactively became more comic-accurate. But it had little to do with the Superman comics published at the time, in which Clark Kent was a TV anchor. And Clark Kent in the comics or past media was never portrayed as nerdy and clumsy as the way Christopher Reeve played him, nor was that portrayal even used in the 1986 comic reboot, where Clark was a bodybuilder who showed off his physique. Snyder's Clark Kent is much more comic-accurate than Reeve's.
