James Gunn Admits The Real Reason He Chose Superman as the DCU’s Main Hero

In the book Superman: The Art and Making of the Film, James Gunn explained his approach to introducing Superman (David Corenswet) and Supergirl (Milly Alcock) in the first chapter of the DC Universe, which he compares to Phase 1 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He made this announcement almost two and a half years before the Superman movie was released, and emphasized that these initial films would function both as standalone stories and as building blocks for the larger narrative he envisioned.
