James Gunn is opening up about the big twist featured in Superman.
Currently showing in U.S. cinemas and IMAX screens is the Superman production from DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures. Written and directed by Gunn, this film features David Corenswet portraying the main character, Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult taking on the role of Lex Luthor.
In the movie, Bradley Cooper and Angela Sarafyan portray Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van, Superman’s biological parents. Around midway through the film, there’s a surprising revelation that sets this Superman story apart from others: instead of being sent to Earth to protect it, Kal-El was dispatched with a different mission – to conquer the planet and marry as many women as required to reproduce the Kryptonian race.
What did James Gunn say about the twist in Superman?
Speaking with IGN, Gunn discussed the moment and why he included it in the movie.
Being a die-hard Superman enthusiast, I had to have confidence that I would maintain the essential aspects of Superman while also making adaptations where they could be beneficial and not contradict the character’s essence. In other words, it was about striking a balance between staying true to Superman’s identity and creating something fresh for the DC Universe. This approach involved modifying certain elements of the story in an engaging way without compromising who Superman is, as this concept has been explored in the comics before.
Alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman, the ensemble features Edi Gathegi portraying Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan stepping into the role of Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion playing Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced bringing Hawkgirl to life, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Sara Sampaio taking on the character of Eve Teschmacher. Additionally, there are further cast members joining this exciting lineup.
The first film from DC Studios, featuring Superman, is set to fly into cinemas globally this summer, courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. According to the official summary, director James Gunn reinvents the original superhero within a fresh interpretation of the DC universe. With an exceptional mix of thrilling action, wit, and emotion, he presents a Superman who’s guided by empathy and a deep-rooted faith in human kindness.
