It’s full steam ahead for the new DC Universe, give or take a few bumps in the road. But with Superman, James Gunn and Peter Safran’s major creative reboot should finally find its footing. The upcoming film gives fans a clearer idea of what the duo has planned for the DCU, and it’s a far cry from the grimdark, operatic stylings of Zack Snyder’s DCEU. Superman (played by David Corenswet) may be joining a world already full of superpowered individuals, but his optimistic outlook is set to deliver a shake-up all the same. At least, that’s what Gunn is hoping for.
“In some ways, he can be seen as a little old-fashioned,” Gunn told Entertainment Weekly of the Man of Steel. “But I think that old-fashioned is something that’s really beautiful and, in its own way, the most rebellious thing about that character.”
