The new film features Superman’s four-legged companion, a super-powered dog named Krypto, first introduced in a 1955 comic book. The latest version is based on Gunn’s ill-mannered rescue dog. Warner Bros. is counting on Superman to usher in a new era at DC Studios, which has failed to match the superhero success of Walt Disney-owned Marvel. Gunn, who directed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, was named co-CEO of DC Studios, alongside producer Peter Safran, in 2022.
The duo has planned a long-term schedule that includes a Supergirl film for June 2026, a Swamp Thing-inspired production, and television series for HBO Max. The Wonder Woman & Batman that wanted to come back on screen expected to return to the theatres. Gunn said about the “Superman” does not necessarily foreshadow future DC Studios. “I want to make absolutely sure that each project has its own unique flavour,” he added.
“We’re doing Clayface, and it’s not like that movie. It’s an 18-rated horror movie. We are doing Lanterns, an HBO series that’s very similar, very realistic & very brutal. We have Peacemaker, an adult series full of emotion & humor.” its an adult movie full of emotions & craze.
Gunn that feel the weight of responsibility to give a hit movie he done it by superman.
“I have always felt pressure,” Gunn said. “It’s been tough.” Reuters
