The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”
When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”
“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
I’m not a DC movie guy (I used to like the comics when I was young) and I’m pretty burned out on superheroes in general, but I’ll watch it both for this and because I tend to like James Gunn.
I’m with you. I own hundreds of comic books and yet even I grew tired of the superhero movie thing years ago.
Except for Deadpool and Wolverine because fuck yeah.
