James Gunn says ‘SUPERMAN’ “just start in the middle of the action” “Superman’s already existing. Lois and Clark already know each other. Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally”

They had general Zod come out in some lego armor and a skims body suit, then get his ass beat and killed by a dude who hadn't had 5 real fights in his lifeAction in MoS was absolute fukkin fire. You can shyt on Snyder for lots of things, but the fight scenes in MoS were flames.
The tone of the film sets it apart from Gunn's previous superhero outings. "It's humorous, but it certainly is not as comic or as much a comedy as either 'Suicide Squad' or 'Guardians,'" Gunn said. "There's plenty of humor in it. People like Rachel (Brosnahan) are so funny and David (Corenswet) is very funny as well, so there's humor in it, but it's trying to create something that is grounded, but also it's an incredibly fanciful world, it's fantasy, it's taking from other things like 'Game of Thrones,' where it's this universe where superheroes actually exist."
For the action sequences, particularly the aerial scenes, Gunn and his team are taking inspiration from "Top Gun: Maverick." They're using drones to capture Superman's flight scenes. "We shoot a lot of our action with actual drones flying in and around Superman and the people that he's flying with, Engineer, whoever else, that he's fighting up in the air." Gunn said. "We got these really small, crazy drones now. We've got some of the best flyers in the world here who are working with it."
That Top Gun Mavs comment just got me even more excited Gunn going to kill this shytJames Gunn's 'Superman' Takes Flight: No Universe-Building, 'Top Gun'-Style Action and Why the Trunks Won Out

Humor wont be like Guardians or suicide squad
About some of the sky action
All Star SupesHopefully a sign they also show that Clark/Superman is a brilliant scientist in his own right. Superman Animated series struck that balance perfectlyMore All-Star Superman than Donner
Gunn’s vision for the film draws from various influences while maintaining its own identity. “All previous DC media influenced me,” Gunn said. “I think that obviously the original Donner movie influenced me, but there’s also a lot of things that this isn’t, like I’m not just making a Donner type movie. It’s very different from that.” Gunn specifically cited “All-Star Superman” as a major comic book influence, noting its Silver Age feel and science fiction approach.
Fewer needle drops than his previous work?
The film’s score, composed by John Murphy, will include nods to John Williams’ classic Superman theme while creating something new. “It’s not a soundtrack, so it’s not about the songs,” Gunn noted. “It’s much, much more of a score film.”

Nah... I truly believe James Gunn will put out a better overall movie with a tighter script but there's not many directors that can replicate what Snyder does for action sequences.
Sooooooo movies that people like still do over a billion? Which is my point hereI didn't expect to come in here and see box office as a topic but there are no movies where $1 billion is the "floor" anymore because movie theaters haven't fully recovered since the pandemic. They are maybe like 75% back or so...
Yes, a movie can still do a billion but it has to be a cultural phenomenon with years of anticipation.
'The Batman' did around $770M or something like that and probably would have gotten over a billion if WB wasn't still doing the short theater runs leading into streaming on Max..
They later changed that and for example let 'Barbie' cook and that went well over a billion.
Watching creatures on Max tells me that's exactly what it'l be cause that's who James Gunn is.I just hope it's not in the same vein as Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, etc with the humor. Less dudebro humor. Needs great cinematography and story. Just needs to give people that feel good emotion with some good action.
