James Gunn Does not sound “superwoke” right criticism to get his “Superman“Down. The author/director, who is also the head of DC Studios, told Police stone to the superhero film have reached success at the international cashier Despite rising “anti-American feelings” all over the world.
The film has reached $ 235 million domestically since it was released; Internationally, it is only $ 171 million, but Gunn is happy that it has had a strong multiple. “We definitely perform better domestic than we are international, but internationally also rises and have really good everyday numbers in the same way we are,” Gunn said. “So obviously the oral word is very positive both here and everywhere, which is what we needed to do the most. At the same time there are some countries where it really performs well, Brazil and the United Kingdom”
He added: “Superman is not a famous item In some places. He is not a big known superhero in some places that Batman is. It affects things. And it also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American feeling around the world right now. It doesn’t really help us. So I think it’s just about letting something grow. But again, for us, everything has been a total win. Having the film come out and be something that has been embraced by people everywhere – this is only the seed from the tree as Peter (Safran) and I have watered for the past three years. So being able to get it to start so positively has been extremely overwhelming. ”
Domestic, “Superman” has been regarded as “Superwoke”, especially after Gunn told Times of London that Superman is an “immigrant” and the feature is about “The Story of America.” Now Gunn describes the nuances of the statement.
Gunn told Entertainment every week The “Superman” is really about humanity, which exceeds politics. “I have heard people say it was woken up, and then I have heard many say it is not. I am curious about what in the movie is considered awake,” Gunn told EW. “I think people took something I said … The guy for the magazine in London. Originally he said that (Superman Comic Creators) Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were the sons of the immigrants, and they wrote Superman as an immigrant story. And I said, yes, it is a story about an immigrant, but it is a central.
He continued, “that’s what we can all act on, is kindness. And so what does it lead to? Well, does it lead to how you vote? Sure. Leads to everything? Yes. Leads to how many people die from road rage? Yes. All these things are affected if people just start to value kindness. I mean, people people people people people people people people people people people people people people humans people people people people people humans people people people people people humans people people people people people people humans people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people people humans people people people people people people people people people people people humans people people people people people people people people people people people humans people people people people people people humans people people people people humans people people people people people people humans people people people people people people humans people people people people people people people people, people people people people people people, people humans humans people people people people people people people people people people people people people, people humans. did Value friendliness in the past. It was an American value, be kindness, and it doesn’t necessarily seem so for me anymore. So it was always the middle of the movie for me, and it wasn’t about anything other than that. “
