James Gunn and David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, have voiced their opinions following the opening weekend of Superman, sharing insights on the debut of the DC Universe. Gunn expressed his feelings in a touching post on Threads, while Zaslav applauded the director’s vision and hinted at upcoming projects involving Supergirl, Clayface, and Lanterns.
I’m thrilled to share that according to my sources, Superman managed an impressive opening of $122 million domestically, and a staggering global debut of $217 million! It’s clear that the world is eagerly embracing this iconic hero once again.
What did James Gunn say?
In simpler terms, Gunn expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the warmth and excitement shown towards him over the past few days. He’s pleased that his movie has managed to emphasize the ‘human’ aspect of Superman, portraying him as a compassionate figure who cares for those in distress. This was his message on Threads.
He went on to say, “What touches so many hearts globally is a heartening proof of humanity’s goodness and compassion. I appreciate your efforts.
What did David Zaslav say?
Zaslav released the following statement:
Three years ago, I brought onboard the dynamic duo, James Gunn and Peter Safran, to rejuvenate and harmonize the creative vision of DC under a single guiding force. Their mission was to inject fresh energy and enthusiasm into one of the most revered storytelling universes globally. The passion with which they aim to preserve the storied legacy of the DC Universe while crafting something fresh and captivating is truly inspiring.
I recall vividly my initial encounter with James about three years back. He shared tales of growing up in Missouri, expressing that the characters from the DC Universe weren’t merely stories to him; they were akin to family. His emotional connection to these DC heroes was profound, and it became clear then that James was the ideal candidate to breathe life into them. The depth of his affection for the DC realm is palpable in every frame of his work.
This weekend, we witnessed Superman flying, as James Gunn’s enthusiasm and creativity unfolded magnificently on the big screen. Superman is merely the beginning; over the next twelve months, DC Studios will debut films like Supergirl and Clayface in cinemas, and the series Lanterns on HBO Max. These are all part of a daring ten-year strategy. The DC universe’s purpose is evident, the energy is palpable, and I can’t wait to see what unfolds in the future!
