While his new DC Universe challenge guarantees loads of lighthearted moments, Gunn emphasizes that <em>Superman<\/em> will strike a stability between humor, fantasy, and grounded drama.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s humorous, but it certainly is not as comic or as much a comedy as either <em>Suicide Squad<\/em> or <em>Guardians<\/em>,\u201d Gunn informed Heroic Hollywood and different journalists on the set of <em>Superman<\/em>. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of humor in it. People like Rachel [Brosnahan] are so funny and David [Corenswet] is very [funny as well], so there\u2019s humor in it, but it\u2019s trying to create something that is grounded, but also it\u2019s an incredibly fanciful world, it\u2019s fantasy, it\u2019s taking from other things like <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, where it\u2019s this universe where superheroes actually exist. What are they like? There\u2019s a magic there that\u2019s undeniable. But at the same time, I didn\u2019t want to do wet muscle-looking T-shirt, those fake muscle T-shirts that we\u2019ve seen so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How James Gunn is mixing expertise and storytelling for Superman <\/h2>\n<p>Gunn can also be leaning into progressive approaches for the movie\u2019s high-flying motion sequences. \u201cIt was a bunch of things. I wrote up this big document on action and what our philosophy is of action and how we shoot it and what it is, and keeping it alive in the air as well as on the ground,\u201d he stated. \u201cAnd to be able to shoot stuff in the sky as if we were shooting it because everything was rougher like it\u2019s in <em>Guardians<\/em>, like it\u2019s in <em>The Suicide Squad<\/em>. And being able to shoot stuff in the sky like that is really hard. So we took a lot from films like <em>Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>, which we are shooting flying things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To obtain this formidable imaginative and prescient, Gunn revealed the usage of cutting-edge drone expertise to seize dynamic aerial sequences. \u201cWe shoot a lot of our action with actual drones flying in and around Superman and the people that he\u2019s flying with, Engineer, whoever else, that he\u2019s fighting up in the air. And we did that on sound stages. We got these really small, crazy drones now. We\u2019ve got some of the best flyers in the world here who are working with it. And so we use those guys a lot and everything\u2019s planned out with me, as it always is. But at the same time, I\u2019ve gotten even more into finding new stuff on the set and new moments and exploring that stuff, finding magic where it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gunn additionally spoke in regards to the tone of the movie, describing it as a mixture of hope and gravity. \u201cSo for me, this is \u2026 about coming at something from the inside. So how can [Nicholas Hoult] tell you what Lex is like? It\u2019s like he\u2019s coming from an interior place. It\u2019s not so different with the tone of the film, I know what it feels like to me. I know the texture, I know that it\u2019s something different than I\u2019ve ever done before, but how can I then translate that to you guys on the outside? Because I start with a place that\u2019s very hopeful, fun\u2026 but incredibly serious all at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that James Gunn goals to carry a particular mix of motion, humor, and coronary heart to the long-lasting story of Superman. The film serves as a pivotal challenge in establishing the tone and imaginative and prescient of Gunn and Peter Safran\u2019s DC Universe, with all eyes on it forward of its highly-anticipated Summer 2025 launch.<\/p>\n<p><em>Superman<\/em>\u00a0arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.
