In a surprising superhero twist, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn has revealed he initially turned down the job of directing a new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Superman movie – all the way back in 2018. The reason? It see༺med too hard!

This unexpected news comes from CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where Gunn took part in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a glitzy presentation on the upcomi🎀ng bl🥃ockbuster. "It’s been 🐭a long time coming," he declared to an audience of cinema owners꧟ and media, including GamesRadar+.

"Back in 2018, I was first offered Superman," explains Gunn. "I was like, 'Oh my God, that seems so cool. I would love to do that. I don't know if I can. It seems hard. I just don't know.' They then said, 'Well, we also want you t🌜o do The Suicide Squad,' and I went down the easier path, because that was what I knew. It’s a group of ragtag anti-heroes that was rated R instead of PG13, so I did that."

Despite turning down the opportunity, Gunn adm🐽its the idea of tackling the Man of Steel stuck with him. "Over the years, I'd think, 'How was I going to do Superman if I ever had the chance to do it? How can you take a character like this, who's perceived as old-fashioned by many? There have been so man꧃y different permutations of the character throughout the years, so how could you do it for a modern audience?'"

Thankfully, Gunn continued to percolate ideas and fans will see the outcome when the blockbuster is released in cinemas this summer. "I knew what I wanted to do in creating a sto⛦ry that was both utterly human and utterly fantastic at the same time – and I think the movie bounces back and forth between those two poles in a relationship that's incredibly complex," he explains.

"It also has all the fantastic elements that we've never really seen in a Superman movie: the flying dog, the giant Kaiju, pocket universes, science and sorcery, and all these things that were in the old Max F🙈leischer cartoons." Bring it on!

Superman is released on July 11, 2025. For more, check out our guides all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows on the way as well as our guide to watching the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC movies in order.
