As a diehard fan who’s been through the rollercoaster that is superhero movie fandom, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and trepidation when it comes to James Gunn‘s latest projects. On one hand, the man behind ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Peacemaker’ has shown an uncanny ability to breathe new life into beloved characters and create compelling stories that resonate with audiences. On the other, the sheer number of characters slated for ‘Superman: Legacy’ has me worried about overcrowding and a potential lack of focus on our titular hero.
Currently, James Gunn has a multitude of tasks on his hands. The filming for ‘Superman’ was recently wrapped up, and concurrently, the second season of ‘Peacemaker’ is being produced. Gunn is engaged in revamping the DCU from the ruins of the problematic DCEU, and while audiences are predominantly enthusiastic about the previews they’ve seen, the director hasn’t escaped controversy yet.
The director behind ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ has received backlash due to an alleged overabundance of characters in ‘Superman: Legacy’, a criticism previously aimed at Zack Snyder too. The upcoming film promises a diverse cast featuring numerous supporting figures of Superman, as well as villains, some yet unidentified, along with Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Rick Flag Sr., and representatives from The Authority.
Fans are concerned that director Gunn may take on a complex and potentially overwhelming storyline for the film, which might not deliver a satisfying ending. However, Gunn has assured fans that the movie won’t be overly elaborate and that adding more characters is essential. Gunn emphasized that it would be quite extraordinary if only Corenswet’s Superman were present in the entire movie.
As a gamer, I couldn’t help but voice my thoughts on a recurring issue in modern superhero films: the overabundance of cameos. In recent times, some blockbusters have been heavily reliant on fan service, featuring references to past installments or even different universes. Movies such as ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and ‘No Way Home’ managed this skillfully, but productions like ‘The Flash’ and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ seemed to fall short.
The director underscored that the appearances of himself within the film should contribute to the plot or act as subtle hints, similar to Easter eggs; randomly placing characters without a purpose does not enhance the story and make it more refined.
