Superman‘s best action sequence actually features the film’s breakout favorite Mister Terrific and his main squeeze Lois Lane. And now, with the film soaring from theaters to digital this week, you can watch it online for free. Watch the scene below.
Mr Terrific’s “Five Years Time” Fight Scene Is Gunn’s Best Work
The fight sequence is Gunn at his best. Though Superman is the most score-heavy of the filmmaker’s superhero films, Mister Terrific’s takedown is set to folk group Noah and the Whale’s “Five Years Time”. The needledrop adds the perfect dose of cheeky humor with the upbeat, sunny song contrasting the violence taking place in the scene. Furthermore, most of the action is seen from inside the forcefield with Lois, providing an immersive, 360-degree perspective of the fight that allows the audience to experience the fight just like she is. Even though the scene combines two of Gunn’s signature as a filmmaker — a massive fight scene from an unconventional POV and an ironic needledrop — the sequence still feels fresh and is massively entertaining, whether one is familiar with Gunn’s previous work or not.
