Will Zack Snyder fans have James Gunn’s Superman planted?
While a call was launched online to fail the new DC Universe, the director admits that he is not too worried …
Fans of Zack Snyder can be very active on social networks. They also won him an Oscar in 2022 for Army of the Dead.
So may they be a source of nuisance for the Superman of James Gunn ?
Because the director will develop his own DC Universe and therefore break, at the same time, that initiated by Zack Snyder with Man of Steel.
On Reddit, a user launched a call for sabotage for the month of July, the day of the release of Superman :
“Get up and beat yourself for the Snyreveverse on July 11 (American outing date). Here is what we can make the difference: 1. Post spoilers everywhere-people will be less tempted to see or love the film if they already know the story; 2. Leave bad notes on critical sites-pro-Gunn bots will post positive opinions, then restore the truth with realistic scores; Online places without finalizing the purchase – this temporarily blocks them, which could prevent Gunn’s bots from buying them. “
The same user adds: “It was Gunn who drew the first by killing the Snyreveverse. It is now up to us to counterattack.”

In an interview then granted to Rolling Stonethe director has developed his point of view:
“I don’t mind. I think it’s even a good thing. I must not be on your side. I have an actor – I will not say who, but it is one of the five main roles of Superman – Who reads everything that is said online. He will read this article, and he will know that I am talking about him. He is very affected by what people write. I said to him, ‘Do you know that the trailer was welcomed at 97 or 98% positively? These criticisms help us, because if everything seems too positive, it’s not good either. ‘”
And conclude: “It is normal to have an opposition from time to time. Some criticisms are absurd – like the one that finds scandalous that the sun makes Superman suffer. But at each exit, there is always a part of controversy.”
The film Supermanexpected for July 9 in France, stages David Corenswet in the role of the famous steel man, succeeding Henry Cavillemblematic figure of the Snyder era. Gunn had entrusted on X, shortly after his appointment at the head of DC Studios, which he had exchanged with Snyder and that there was no animosity between them. He even revealed that he had consulted Snyder regarding the design of the new Superman costume – and in particular the question of the famous Red Slip return (or not) …
