James Gunn Shuts Down Troubling ‘Superman’ VFX Rumors

Warner Bros. has faced challenges with its DC Comics movies, especially after their attempt to rival Marvel’s MCU fell short. Following the struggles of Zack Snyder’s DCEU, the company brought in James Gunn to lead a fresh start.

When Gunn took over, the DCEU was in chaos. He made the bold decision to start over, launching the new DCU. The first major film in this revamped universe is the upcoming Superman movie, with David Corenswet taking on the iconic role. The film is scheduled to be released next year.

Excitement is building around the project, but details remain limited. While Gunn has shared some hints about the movie, rumors—both good and bad—have started to circulate. One recent rumor claimed the Superman movie was facing VFX troubles, prompting Gunn to address the speculation directly.
