Overview

  • Snyder fans on Reddit plotted to spoil, review-bomb and block tickets for Superman’s July 11 debut, a campaign Gunn called unlikely to succeed.
  • Gunn says he and Zack Snyder remain on good terms and even consulted Snyder on the new Superman suit design.
  • DC Studios under Gunn will only greenlight films and series after scripts are fully complete, aiming for quality over quantity.
  • Gunn has downplayed pressure on Superman’s performance, viewing it as one part of a broader DCU roadmap rather than a make-or-break event.
  • Development is underway on the DCU’s Batman film The Brave and the Bold, which Gunn describes as his biggest creative challenge alongside completing the Wonder Woman script.
