Superman star doesn't want to compare James Gunn's movie to Guardians of the Galaxy: "It’s going to be its own thing"

Metamorpho in Superman.

Death of a Unicorn and former Barry star Anthony Carrigan has shared some thoughts on his next big project this year—James Gunn's Superman—and one thing he's making sure not to do is compare it to the director's other works, which starred a cybernetically modified raccoon and a talking tree. Crammed with a star-studded cast and a whole host of DC heroes behind the titular fella in the long red cape (David Corenswet), Carrigan will play Metamorpho, who was briefly seen in the teaser trailer for the upcoming comic book movie.

Naturally keeping quiet about his part in Superman's story, he did hint to The Hollywood Reporter that while it might not be similar to the adventures of Star-Lord and his team, the great elements from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies might still be present. “I am hesitant to liken it to Guardians, but I do think that [Superman] has the same heart and intelligence. That’s James’ trademark," explained Carrigan. "But I think it’s going to be its own thing entirely. The process of working on it was such a special one, and the whole cast was on board with bringing something really special to it. So, hopefully, that’s conveyed onscreen.”
