James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Final Cut Reportedly “Very Silly and Very Big” Like “Superman II on Steroids”

James Gunn’s new Superman movie is shaping up to be a wild ride, according to early reports about the final cut. As the film gets closer to release, insiders are starting to share what fans can expect, and it sounds like the tone will surprise a lot of people.

A new report from the industry insider ViewerAnon, says the movie has been described as “Superman II on steroids.” That comparison suggests it will be packed with action and energy, and not shy about being loud and over the top.

ViewerAnon also added that the film is “very silly and very big.” That’s a clear sign Gunn is leaning into his usual style, mixing humor with spectacle.

Fans of his past work on Guardians of the Galaxy or The Suicide Squad know he isn’t afraid to take things in fun, unexpected directions. It also seems Gunn’s version of Superman won’t be as serious or grounded as some earlier takes on the character.

This new Superman film is the first theatrical release in the DC Universe reboot that Gunn is leading. It stars David Corenswet as Clark Kent, along with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult playing Lex Luthor. While most details are still being kept under wraps, this new report gives the clearest hint yet at the film’s overall vibe.

Gunn has said before that his Superman movie will mix heart and hope with big action, but this new description makes it clear the film won’t shy away from being playful and loud. That may not be what everyone expected, especially after more serious Superman films in the past.

Still, for fans looking for a bold and fresh take on the iconic hero, this could be exactly what the DC Universe needs to get things rolling.

My take: If this report is accurate, then Gunn is clearly not trying to copy what came before, he’s making his own version of Superman, and it sounds like it’ll be full of energy and personality.

That could be a good thing, especially if DC wants to stand out from Marvel and past versions of its own characters. What do you think? Do you like the idea of a sillier and bigger Superman? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
