Director James Gunn revealed that the upcoming "Superman" movie will be "about politics," saying that the iconic superhero is "an immigrant that came from other places."

.......

And obviously, there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them."

BRILLIANT Marketing!

Shame the American public into paying too much to see your movie.

Hope it bombs.

James Gunn is a pedophile. Disney fired him over posts he made several years ago and now they hired him back.

How to tell the public that your movie will be a bomb without saying it will be a bomb. Superman stands for Truth, Justice, and the American Way, not TDS, Wokeism, and DEI.

I can easily miss this movie. I will go back and watch the non political one with Chris Reeves RIP.

So fine, I will “screw off” and this guy can GTH and take his goofy movie with him.

Every time they make one of these movies that aim to shove their political message into the public ends up being a big dud.

The stupid arrogance never stops with these people.

I had been somewhat interested in this movie. I was planning to see it while it was in theaters.

Thanks to Mr. Gunn, I don't have to worry about that at all.

An American married couple found an orphaned baby on their farm and raised him as their own. A child found in such circumstances would be presumed by law to have been an American citizen absent proof of his place of birth or his parents citizenship. None of that could have been known by the foster parents, let alone proven in court. I will miss this movie, as I have with many other recent woke, PC films in recent years.

I’ll watch some videos on YouTube and maybe do more
work against the immoral destruction of our society

Pretty dumb move on his part - Hollywood is not
seeing how American Society is changing -
their old shtick ain’t workin’ no more

See “Elio” and the flop of Woke “Snow White”

$365 million to make and grosses $32 million at the BoxOffice - My prediction.
It will also win 5 Oscars.

Gunn tweeted he “liked it when little boys touched him in his silly place.. Shhhh.”

A while ago, Disney cut ties with the YouTube channel Pewdiepie because of a video he did reacting to pictures. One picture was of a guy holding up an antisemitic sign. People found out that the photo was staged by Pewdiepie, who paid the guy to pose for the photo.

It’s clear that Gunnn didn’t actually push any antisemitic message with his video and that he himself isn’t an antisemite.........but Disney doesn’t want to be the company that pays a guy who pays people to hold up antisemitic signs.

Likewise, they don’t want to be the company who pays a guy that said he rapes children. They don’t care if he meant it. I know those kinds of jokes would get me fired from my job, and I’m not a public representative of the company like Gunn is.

This weekend Puppet Show, Spinal Tap, new Superman movie

AI Overview

The budget for the new Superman movie, directed by James Gunn, is reportedly $225 million. This figure is the net production budget, which takes into account state and local tax incentives that can reduce the amount studios spend out-of-pocket. There were initial reports suggesting a higher budget of $363.8 million, but those were related to Ohio tax filings and didn’t reflect the final net production cost after incentives, according to James Gunn and DC Studios. Additionally, the movie’s marketing campaign is expected to cost around $200 million, potentially bringing the total budget to around $425 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
