With the premiere of the new Superman movie directed by James Gunn, which marks the beginning of the new DC Universe, a considerable controversy has erupted among fans. Many of them, especially followers of the SnyderVerse, have expressed their resistance to the project even before its release, questioning the creative decisions and launching negative critiques on social media platforms.

They want a much brighter Superman

David Corenswet, who embodies the iconic superhero, has expressed his desire to present Superman in a more optimistic and retro way, an approach that has caused adverse reactions among a part of the DCU fandom. Corenswet, in previous statements, noted that while he admired the dark approach of Henry Cavill’s version, he wished for his interpretation to be more uplifting. This statement has been used by some detractors to delegitimize his performance and the film in general.

Despite the smear campaign, Gunn has reacted calmly to this controversy. In recent interviews, he has indicated that it is normal for there to be controversies surrounding his projects and has stated that any attempt to sabotage the film will not prevent Superman from likely performing well at the box office, scheduled for July 11.

The fact that fans of the SnyderVerse have initiated actions such as “review bombing” and the spreading of spoilers has not significantly impacted the overall enthusiasm for the movie, which is expected to become a resounding box office success. However, the persistent resistance from some sectors of the fandom underscores the polarization that has marked the DC universe in recent years, suggesting that this conflict of visions regarding the future of the Kryptonian hero is just beginning.

James Gunn doesn't want to see three events in a superhero movie again, and you probably don't either

The new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, will premiere in theaters worldwide in less than a week, marking a significant reboot for DC Studios. Unlike many previous adaptations of the Man of Steel, the plot will distance itself from the classic origin of the character, starting with a Superman who has already been in his role as a hero for several years. This approach aims to offer a more dynamic narrative that is less focused on the character’s origins, avoiding repetitions of iconic scenes such as his departure from Krypton or his adoption by the Kents.

The new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, will premiere in theaters worldwide in less than a week, marking a significant reboot for DC Studios. Unlike many previous adaptations of the Man of Steel, the plot will distance itself from the classic origin of the character, starting with a Superman who has already been in his role as a hero for several years. This approach aims to offer a more dynamic narrative that is less focused on the character’s origins, avoiding repetitions of iconic scenes such as his departure from Krypton or his adoption by the Kents.

Three origin stories that we already know by heart

Gunn, in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, expressed that the origin story does not evoke emotion in him and believes it is unnecessary for the current audience, which already has a broad understanding of the myths and legends surrounding superheroes. Over the years, the public has become familiar with the stories of iconic characters like Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man, making them less necessary in a recent cinematic context. This decision to omit the origin aligns with a shift in the perception of superhero cinema, which has evolved considerably and includes a more knowledgeable audience.

The filmmaker acknowledges that in an earlier era it was imperative to explain the origins due to the general lack of knowledge about these figures, but nowadays, most viewers understand the motivations and powers of these heroes without the need for an extensive backstory. Thus, with this new installment, Gunn aims not only to reintroduce the Man of Steel but also to offer a product that speaks to a generation that is already familiar with the character’s legacy and his feats. This film is expected to not only reinvent the character but also set a new course for the DC universe on the big screen.

James Gunn, known for his work in the Marvel cinematic universe, is at the helm of the Superman reboot, a film that will not only reintroduce the Man of Steel but will also introduce several new characters, including the Engineer and the Justice Gang. The film is scheduled to be released on July 11, marking an important moment in the evolution of the DC universe.

The return of some of the most insane characters from DC

The Engineer, portrayed by María Gabriela de Faría, is the second version of this character in comic history, whose first appearance was in the WildStorm universe. This imprint, which was acquired by DC in 1998, has had a significant impact on how various characters have been integrated into the broader DC narrative. In the film, it has been confirmed that the Engineer will act as one of Lex Luthor’s henchmen, but his potential as a character could expand in future projects due to his association with the Authority team.

The character of Angela Spica, who is the new Engineer, stands out for her ability to use nanotechnology for military purposes, including the creation of copies of herself. This type of technology, although controversial in the realm of superhero films, could play a crucial role in the narrative of the film, as the trailers have shown the Engineer using her powers to take down threats in Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.

It is still unknown how the Authority team will fit into the new DC universe, as details about their movie have been limited. However, it has been mentioned that Superman’s story could intertwine with that of Authority, promising a significant expansion of the narrative in the future. As the release date approaches, interest and curiosity about the Engineer and other characters continue to grow within the fan community.

A movie that will launch a new phase of the DCU

The Clayface movie will move quickly in its development, thanks to the script by Mike Flanagan, which has shown significant potential for the DC cinematic universe. The film is scheduled to be released on September 11, 2026, as part of the first phase of the new DC Universe: Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

In the comics, there are multiple versions of Clayface, with the most well-known being Matt Hagen, who has shape-shifting powers, and Basil Karlo, the original who started as a troubled actor. Although it is rumored that a character similar to Basil Karlo will appear in The Batman 2 and in the Penguin series, the Clayface movie will be developed in a different continuity, suggesting that it will not affect those other projects.

It is worth mentioning that a version of Clayface has previously appeared in the animated series Creature Commandos, where he was voiced by Alan Tudyk. However, it is unclear whether the version that will be explored in the live-action movie will be the same. As production progresses, the focus on the character’s rich history promises to bring a new perspective to the DC universe, offering fans a unique cinematic experience.

James Gunn and David Corenswet are redefining the perception of Superman in their upcoming film of the new DC universe, scheduled to hit theaters on July 11. In a recent interview, the two creatives discussed how their approach aims to dismantle the image of Superman as a “terrifying monster” due to his impressive powers.

An identity that is not so secret now

Corenswet, who will portray the iconic hero, convinced Gunn to keep the notorious red pants of Superman’s suit. He argues that their “ridiculous” look helps to soften the perception of his immense power. “Maybe they are designed to look a little silly. Basically, to downplay his true strength,” Corenswet commented. This approach seeks to balance the hero’s formidable abilities with his more human side.

James Gunn expanded on this concept, emphasizing that in his version everyone knows that Superman is an alien. “He shoots rays from his eyes, can destroy with his breath, and is, in a way, a terrifying creature,” Gunn points out. However, he also highlighted Superman’s fundamental desire to be loved by humanity, especially by children. “He wants children not to be afraid of him,” Gunn explained, which reflects a critical aspect of his character in this narrative.

Recently, new previews have been shared showcasing Superman’s extreme abilities, including his heat vision, the ability to lift skyscrapers, and his flight into deep space. As the release date approaches, the anticipation of seeing how these elements will be integrated into the story grows, promising a new era for the Man of Steel in cinema.
