James Gunn, CEO of DC Studios, has officially revealed the main theme of the new Superman film.
In an interview with The Times of LondonThe 58-year-old director made it clear that the upcoming Superman Movies are about politics.
“I mean, Superman is the story of America,” James said. “Although it should also be noted that Gunn and DC have taken extreme care to omit Superman’s classic” American Way “motto from the film’s promotion.”
“(He is) an immigrant who came from elsewhere and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost,” added Suicide Squad director.
When the director asked how the audience could answer the film’s themes, James replied: “Yes, it plays differently, but it’s about human kindness.”
“And there will obviously be jerking out there that just isn’t friendly and will take it as offensive just because it’s about kindness. But screw them,” he continued.
“Yes, it’s about politics. But on another level it’s about morality,” James added. “Do you never kill no matter what – which is what Superman means – or do you have a certain balance that Lois thinks? It’s really about their relationship and the way different opinions about basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart.”
For those who are not daring, the new Superman Film hits cinemas on July 11, 2025.
