How DC’s Supergirl Movie Is Similar To Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Explained By James Gunn

I recently learned more about the upcoming Supergirl movie, and it sounds incredibly exciting! While Kara Zor-El is famously Superman’s cousin, director James Gunn is making it clear this will be her own unique story, and a big one – it’s going to expand the DC Universe into a much wider galactic landscape. Naturally, people are wondering if it will feel similar to Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy films, and he admits there are parallels. He told Variety it’s a “space fantasy” like Guardians, but heavily inspired by the Tom King Supergirl run – though they’re not sticking to the comics page-by-page. He emphasized they’re keeping the heart of that story intact, while still forging their own path.
