Superman Director James Gunn has revealed he had doubts before making the sci-fi action film.
The 2025 blockbuster starred David Corenswet as Clark Kent. Meanwhile, Nicholas Hoult played the villainous Lex Luthor in the film.
DC CEO Admitted Leading 2025 Superman was the hardest project of his entire career before the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
He highlighted the difference between the making of these two films.
The director shared, “With Guardians, you were building a corner of the universe that felt completely different from anything Marvel was doing at the time.”
Meanwhile, people have a specific image of Superman. Therefore, James had to be more conscious when making the film.
He said on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast“Everyone in the world thinks something different about Superman. Everyone knows who he is.”
According to the 59-year-old filmmaker, the fact that all eyes were on the DCU created real pressure.
He added: “If I didn’t find Superman, I wasn’t going to make the movie. I remember thinking [after Corenswet’s audition]’If this is the worst we do, we’re in great shape.’
Following the success of the 2025 film, Gunn confirmed the new sequel titled The man of tomorrow which will also be directed by David.
