Back in 2018, James Gunn was offered the chance to direct a Superman movie – but he turned it down in favor of The Suicide Squad, which released in 2021.

In preparation, the social media embargo on press and influencers who’ve seen the film has now lifted, and the response is incredibly positive.

David Corenswet gives a star-making performance in James Gunn's breathless epic about what makes Superman super in the 21st century.
