Saving the world might look like a job for Superman, but getting the film successfully off the ground was a job for James Gunn. Such a duty might've made other mere mortals buckle under the strain of working on a franchise that had gone through such a tough time, but this wasn't the case for the former Guardians of the Galaxy director. The man behind DC's latest and co-head of DC Studios has recently confessed that he never felt the pressure of bringing his take of Clark Kent and his cape-wearing alter ego to life, but there were concerns for the other filmmakers that would be picking up where he left off.
While appearing on The Happy Sad Confused podcast, Gunn revealed how he handled bringing the Man of Steel to life and acknowledged that the future of the DCU was a legitimate concern. "I have a strange way of approaching work. When I'm working, when I'm filming or writing, I really don't feel pressure- I'm having fun, that's my relief valve. That's a relieving time for me. But then outside of that, yeah, I felt a lot of pressure. I mean, there was a lot riding on this."
