Warner Bros’ and DC Studios has just dropped a special behind the scenes look.
“James (Gunn) didn’t know that Superman was in his future,” says DC Studios co-boss and Superman producer Peter Safran. Safran says that he wasn’t certain if this was the right thing to do. But then he called me and said, ‘I have a way in. I know what I want to talk about.’
This behind-the-scenes piece indicates that Warners continues to sell the awe and heartwarming inspiration in “Superman“, which distinguishes it from Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel”. That’s a positive thing. “Man of Steel” fetched $116.6M in 2013 and “Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice” fetched $166M and Justice League fetched $93.8M.
The film stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent/The Man of Steel, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Isabel Merced as Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Edi Gathegi as Mr. Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Milly Alcock as Supergirl.
“And that’s a wrap,” Gunn posted earlier this year when filming concluded. “God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honor. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set – and for that I am forever grateful.”
You can check out an updated synopsis for the movie below : In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor and heart, delivering a Superman who’s driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.”
“Superman” flies on July 11.
