Superlopez

Superlopez (Superlópez, 2018) is a Spanish superhero comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Javier Ruiz Caldera adapts one of Spain's best-known comic book characters into a good-natured Superman parody — small budget, Barcelona office blocks, and a leading man who is far more anxious than heroic.

Juan López arrived on Earth as an infant from the doomed planet Chitón, was raised by farmers, and has spent the thirty years since doing his level best to blend into a cubicle. His employer has no idea. Neither does the woman he's trying to impress. The problem is that Agata, played by Maribel Verdú, has been hunting him since before he could talk — she's a telepath with a grudge and a plan. Dani Rovira plays Juan as someone who clearly has the powers but very much lacks the confidence.

This is the kind of film that knows exactly what it is: a mid-budget crowd-pleaser aimed at people who grew up reading the comics and anyone who finds the Marvel machine a bit exhausting. Warm, fast, occasionally genuinely funny. Watch Superlopez (2018) online on iFILM.
