DC Studios co-CEO and “Superman” writer-director James Gunn talked to “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi at the movie’s mega L.A. premiere Monday night!
He spoke about what’s at the heart of the film, saying, “I think for me it's really a movie about kindness. I think it is a movie about somebody who is willing to look out for everyone — no matter who they are, no matter where they are in the world. He's willing to put himself on the line for people in need.”
James went on, “Everybody belongs in Superman's eyes, and everybody's beautiful in Superman's eyes, and I love the character because of that.”
He also praised David Corenswet, saying, “Him as Clark Kent was funny. Him as Superman was pretty dazzling. So, it was cool to see it come to life. He really was born to play this role, and I'm so excited for people to experience it.”
Plus, James talked about he and Zack Snyder parodying themselves on the animated sci-fi sitcom “Rick and Morty.”
“I haven't even seen the episode yet, but I got a billion texts last night,” he said. “So, I guess a lot of people are watching ‘Rick and Morty.’ I can't wait to watch it.”
“Superman” is out July 11.
