James Gunn Criticizes 'Cameo Porn' in Superhero Films, Defends 'Superman: Legacy' Cast

Gunn confirms 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Pom Klementieff will not appear in 'Superman: Legacy', hints at potential role in DC Universe

James Gunn, co-CEO of DC Studios, has criticized the trend of 'cameo porn' in superhero movies, where characters appear briefly without contributing to the plot.
Gunn is directing the upcoming 'Superman: Legacy', set to release on July 11, 2025, which will kick off the new DC Universe. The film stars David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Despite rumors, Gunn confirmed that 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star Pom Klementieff will not be appearing in 'Superman: Legacy'. However, he did hint at a potential role for Klementieff in the DC Universe unrelated to 'Superman: Legacy'.
Rumors suggest that 'Supergirl' may make an appearance in 'Superman: Legacy', but this has not been confirmed by Gunn.
Gunn defended the large cast of 'Superman: Legacy', stating that it's normal for single protagonist films to have other characters, and assured that none of the roles in the film are mere cameos.
