James Gunn Criticizes 'Cameo Porn' in Superhero Films

'Superman: Legacy', the first film of the DC Universe reboot, promises a narrative-driven approach with an ensemble cast.

James Gunn, writer and director of the upcoming DC Universe film 'Superman: Legacy', criticizes the trend of unnecessary character cameos in recent superhero movies, terming it 'cameo porn'.
'Superman: Legacy' is set to be the first film of the DC Universe reboot, with Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm.
The film will explore Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing, and will not be an origin story.
Despite the criticism of unnecessary cameos, 'Superman: Legacy' will feature an ensemble cast including David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, among others.
The initial DC Studios slate for 'Gods and Monsters' will include movies for 'Superman: Legacy', 'The Brave and the Bold', 'Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow', 'Swamp Thing', and 'The Authority', as well as several HBO Max television shows.
