As absurd as it sounds, the rumor spread like wildfire, racking up over 2 million views. Never one to shy away from addressing fan chatter with a blunt response, James Gunn took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air in his signature no-nonsense style. The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker reposted an account making the claim, responding:

James Gunn is assuring fans that three songs that seem too obvious for a Superman movie won't be used for the DCU film.

James Gunn has addressed speculations on whether the Superman trailer underwent multiple cuts due to pressure from the studio. Notably, Gunn is not just the writer-director of the upcoming Superman movie but also the co-chairman and co-CEO of DC Studios with Peter Safran.

DC Studios' co-head James Gunn underlines how the DCU's version of Superman is quite different from Zack Snyder's take on the Man of Steel.
