Y’’all should read the Wikipedia entry on the ‘78 Superman some choice nuggets include:

(Marlon Brando) horrified Salkind by proposing in their first meeting that Jor-El appear as a suitcase or a green bagel with Brando’s voice

Marlon Brando found out he couldn’t film in Italy because of a warrant out for his arrest, a sexual obscenity charge from Last Tango in Paris. Production moved to England in late-1976, but Hamilton could not join because he was a tax exile.

(Benton, Newman, Newman’s wife and Fraser’s) script was submitted in July 1976 and carried a camp tone, including a cameo appearance by Telly Savalas as his Kojak character.

Donner was dissatisfied with the campy script and brought Tom Mankiewicz to perform a rewrite. According to Mankiewicz “not a word from the Puzo script was used”. “It was a well-written, but still a ridiculous script. It was 550 pages. I said, ‘You can’t shoot this screenplay because you’ll be shooting for five years’,” Donner continued. “That was literally a shooting script and they planned to shoot all 550 pages. You know, 110 pages is plenty for a script, so even for two features, that was way too much."Mankiewicz conceived having each Kryptonian family wear a crest resembling a different letter, justifying the ’S’ on Superman’s costume.[ The Writers Guild of America refused to credit Mankiewicz for his rewrites, so Donner gave him a creative consultant credit, much to the annoyance of the Guild.[

fishcustardandthecumberbeast

It depresses me that people didn’t know who this was.

captain-america-in-the-impala

Fun fact:  this is the same guy who got pretty pissed at one of his directors and retaliated by refusing to ever wear pants on set, so the director had to work around only filming him from the waist up.

bellecosby

He was also active during the civil rights movement, to the point where he was even at the March on Washington

(That’s him with activist/author James Baldwin)

He sent a native american woman in his place at the oscars to accept his award because he was angry about the treatment of native americans in this country and in the industry. 

Oh and he was also allegedly bi sexual 

howtobeterrell

there’s no alleged…he was bisexual. James B also wanted the D.

fyeahbonerbros

Just cause…

Everyone’s seen that photo, right? The one of Brando literally sucking a dick? (NSFW link) It was presented in his first wife’s divorce proceedings as evidence of Brando’s “perversity.” Nervous, homophobic biographers later tried to claim that the photo was a “gross forgery,” or that it was merely a lookalike; but Brando himself pretty casually acknowledged that it was legit.

There is noooooo alleged, my friends.
