James Gunn Reveals Why 'Superman' Isn't An Origin Story
"When I entered the world of Superman, I entered this world [with] not only Superman, I had all his meta human friends and monsters and giant monsters and flying dogs and robots and sorcery and science so advanced it almost seems like sorcery. I loved all of that stuff."
"Superman is basically a live-action comic book. It drops you in medias res into Superman's story, three years after he made his debut."
Superman 2025 is set to launch a new DC universe, positioning the character amidst a plethora of superheroes. The narrative starts three years after Superman's debut, with immediate challenges including Lex Luthor's plot against him. It is designed as a live-action comic book experience, capturing diverse elements from Superman's universe, such as meta-humans and advanced science. Writer-director James Gunn emphasizes his childhood affection for comics and the vast world of characters and stories they encompass, aiming to integrate that into the film's storytelling.
