James Gunn takes a different creative take on Superman than Zack Synder's one.
In his version of Man of Steel, DC’s co-boss draws inspiration from comic books and shares he wants to make the superhero “family-oriented.”
James explains his vision with MovieZine, “One of the things I love about DC Comics is that they’ve always been able to tell different stories in different ways.”
“They’ve told stories that were more family-orientated, stories that were more adult-orientated, dark stories, light stories.”
The Suicide Squad director also says that unlike his Peacemaker, whose tone was R-rated and violence-infused, his Superman will be different, as he adds that he will focus on showing the superhero in a light that highlights hope.
“We have something that’s relatively serious like Superman and then something that’s relatively comedic like Peacemaker all in the same universe. Something very adult like Peacemaker [and] something pretty family-friendly like Superman," the filmmaker concludes.
Superman will be out on July 11 next year.
