James Gunn turns off the assumption that ”Superman“Must be a Box Office blockbuster. The author/director, who is also the head of DC Studios together with Peter Safran, told GQ to the franchisee tent film Don’t have as much pressure in the studio as critics believe.
“Is there anything that rides on it? Yes, but it’s not as big as people do,” Gunn said. “They hear these figures that the film will only be successful if it earns $ 700 million or something and it is just complete and complete nonsense. It doesn’t have to be as big in a situation as people say.”
He added that “Superman” rebooted “was not the most risky endeavor in the world.” David Corenswet stars as a title character Superhero for the film that had a reported budget within $ 200 million, such as Amount specified. “Superman” opens in the theater July 11 from Warner Bros. and DC Studios.
Gunn has recently promoted “Superman” as a truly patriotic film, says The times That the story embodies “The Story of America.”
“I mean,” Superman “is the story of America,” Gunn said. “An immigrant who came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says that basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost. It is about human kindness and obviously there will be jerk out there that is just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness.”
He added, “Yes, it is about politics. But on another level it is about morality. Do you never kill no matter what – which is what Superman thinks – or do you have a little balance, as Lois believes? It is really about their relationship and how different opinions about basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart.”
Gunn told us Police stone that unlike Disney’s MCU, WBD Don’t have a quota for DCU movies. Therefore, “Superman” was only released when it was completed according to Gunn’s standards.
“We do not have the mandate (at DC) to have a certain amount of movies and TV programs every year. So we will post everything that we think is of the highest quality. We will obviously do some good things and some not so good things, but hopefully everything will be as high as possible on average,” Gunn said. “Nothing goes before there is a script that I am personally happy with.”
And of all DCU characters, Superman is not the most important for this next phase of IP. “Batman is my biggest question in all of DC right now, personally,” Gunn said. “I don’t write” Batman “, but I work with the author of” Batman “(Matt Reeves) and try to get it right, because he is extremely important for DC, like Wonder Woman”. So outside the things I do in the projects that are actively going, our two priorities are to end our “Wonder Woman” and our “Batman” script. “
