Its Superman, but its not any of the other stuff.

Which is what I hope weve created.

But his fears were assuaged when his Superman actor, Corenswet, came out with a profound statement.

Superman and Lois kissing in James Gunn Movie

It clearly made a massive impact on the director.

It touched me in the moment, and it touches me now, Gunn added.

Thats who Superman is, and he has a reason why his costume is so colorful.

Its because he doesnt want to scare children.

Hes got red beams that come out of his eyes and he can blow over things with his breath.

He doesnt want to be scary to children.

We dont short shrift the relationship between these characters and the way they see the world.

I knew from the beginning what I wanted to do with the music, Gunn explained.

I thought about it a lot.

Are we gonna use the Williams theme?

Are we gonna do something different?

Its used beautifully throughout the movie.

And John has worked non-stop for the past almost two years, putting the score together.

So its just bigger than any one iteration of it.

For me, I definitely sneaked in episodes ofSmallvillegrowing up after school.

But yes,Smallvillewas my first real understanding of this world.

And Michael [Rosenbaum] did a fantastic job as well.

So that was a great first welcome into the culture.
