James Gunn has doubled down on his key DC Studios philosophy when discussing Supergirl's early placement in DCU Chapter One: quality is king, regardless of the overarching universe's story.
“I didn’t necessarily know that Supergirl would be the second movie we were going to make, but Ana [Nogueira] wrote an incredible script, and then we hired an incredible director. We’re going to do this movie after Superman because he was the best option," Gunn told Omelete.
