Director James Gunn has released the first extended look at his new Superman film, a reboot of the DC cinematic universe that stars David Corenswet as the titular character. (He also plays Clark Kent, but don’t tell anyone at the Daily Planet.) In a roundtable with IGN shared on December 17, Gunn revealed a bit about how this movie might play into future films from the DC world.
“Everything needs to stand by itself,” the director insisted. “I don’t want somebody to have to go see this movie and be relying on anything else. Now listen, once we get down the line, that may change a little bit.”
Gunn added that “there’s seeds being planted,” but his main focus is: “How are we making this movie the best we can be? And it’s going to stay like that as much as I can possibly make it like that.”
