Kumail Nanjiani may not be coming back to Marvel or Star Wars anytime soon, but he has been cast as Booster Gold in James Gunn’s DCU, and everyone is just waiting for him to show up.
What’s funny is, Nanjiani has posted this new video on his socials that points out just how horny the original 1978 Superman was. Check this out:

The video basically has Nanjiani breaking down a scene between Superman and Lois Lane where Lois and Superman kind of flirt back at each other—slowly escalating to new levels of horny. So horny that Superman makes a comment on the color of Lois’ underwear and she asks him if he likes it.
For context without the commentary, here’s the scene from the film:
Admittedly, a lot of the flirty exchange will fly right over kids’ heads, but Nanjiani was able to point out all of the very subtle innuendos from Lois asking how ‘big’ Superman is, to him just blurting out ‘Pink’ when he does get a look at Lois’ underwear.
We don’t know how David Corenswet’s Superman is going to be, but Gunn has said that this Superman was a great inspiration or him and his entire career. While we do know that this new Superman is going to be ‘brighter’ than the one Henry Cavill was onscreen, it’s curious what exactly his dynamic with new Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is going to be.
Catch Superman when it soars into theaters on July 11, 2025.
