10 Movie Characters Whose Personalities Suddenly Changed In Sequels

10. Superman - Justice League (2017)

Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman has been divisive among comic book fans. Though all can agree that he certainly looked the part, some believe Zack Snyder turned the Man of Steel into a sombre and brooding hero, while others claim it was a good updating of the character.

The latter's common criticism of Big Blue was attempted to be fixed in 2017's Justice League.

Joss Whedon infamously reshot several scenes and attempted to turn Superman into a more traditional rendition of the character as seen in the Christopher Reeve movies. He's pleasant, light-hearted, and is the Boy Scout comic book fans recognize. But by doing this, Kal-El ends up acting way too different from his previous appearances. Of course, it doesn't help that the infamous CGI moustache removal is terrible, and so the character is not only acting differently but looks jarring as well.

Ironically, Whedon's intent was better executed in Zack Snyder's Justice League as Superman's shift in personality is better executed. Clark here is portrayed as a man who has been lifted of his burdens because he finally accepts his calling as a hero. And while the character is more upbeat than in previous versions, it never clashes with the person we saw in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
