Superman director James Gunn has explained how Tom Cruise's action sequel Top Gun: Maverick influenced the upcoming comic book movie.
The filmmaker, who's set to kick off a new era of DC-related content with his take on the Man of Steel in 2025, told ComicBook during a set visit that he recalled being keen to "keep it alive in the air, as well as on the ground" and, well, when you're dealing with a superhero who can fly, that requires a lot of prep. With that, Gunn wrote up a "big document" breaking down how the flick's action could be shot, pre-emptively trying to navigate the challenges of filming sequences in the sky.
