Under his watchful eye, the superhero franchise will shed its hoary past and relaunch itself, beginning with 2025’s Superman.

Francis Ford Coppola is doing things his way in the trailer for his sci-fi epic Megalopolis. “True genius is often misunderstood,” the narrator explains in the opening moments. The first 45 seconds of footage are dedicated to the negative reviews Coppola’s most famous films received, including The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Memorable quotes from critics flash on the screen for the three films. Pauline Kael of The New Yorker described The Godfather as “diminished by its artsiness,” while Rex Reed of The Daily News called Apocalypse Now an “epic piece of trash.”

It’s been over a decade since Guillermo del Toro delivered his take on classic kaiju flicks with Pacific Rim — and Legendary Entertainment is still trying to recreate its magic. In many ways, Pacific Rim was the anti-blockbuster: its schlock and spectacle almost seemed like a means to an end for del Toro. The 2013 film used its sci-fi conceit — that of giant mechs fighting even bigger monsters — to explore something that transcends words, the concept of soulmates. Of course, it resorted to some fairly elaborate worldbuilding to do so. Clunky exposition aside, Pacific Rim deserved to become the next big genre franchise; it’s just taken a few attempts to get it right.
