Why ‘Superman’ Has So Many Superheroes in It

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-23 10:00:55

Even before seeing it, it’s clear there are many, many things that set James Gunn’s Superman apart from other versions of the character. One is that, though this is very much a Superman movie, Superman interacts with a bunch of other superheroes. There’s the Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, and more. It was an interesting choice for Gunn to make, especially since this is our first real glimpse at the larger DC Universe he’s helping to create. So we asked him about it. Speak

Gareth Edwards, who directed Godzilla (2014), The Creator, and the brand-new Jurassic World Rebirth, is always going to be asked about his time in the galaxy far, far away. That’s just the nature of Star Wars and, more specifically, Star Wars fans, most of whom look very fondly upon 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—especially in the wake of Andor‘s two-season run on Disney+.
