Director James Gunn himself was responsible for writing Supermana film that is close to his heart as a big fan himself of the superhero from Krypton.

He recently declared in a short video that this project is “much more than another film” for him: “It’s a story about humanity, about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn’t always make that task easy.”

Opposite Corenswet, the film notably features Rachel Brosnahan (The Fabulous Mrs. Maisel) in the guise of Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult (Renfield) in the shoes of Lex Luthor.
