James Gunn speaks up on highly-criticised ‘Superman’ scene

James Gunn opened up about the most controversial scene in Superman trailer.

The upcoming DCU film trailer left fans devastated when they noted the new Superman, David Corenswet's coveted costume looked a "little off."

In an interview with the Entertainment Weekly, the director and DC co-CEO broke his silence, saying that he is "learning a lot" about how to "shoot stuff" on set.

He shared that he didn’t "love" that the footage of Corenswet flying made it out the 30-second teaser.

"It was a TV commercial and it wasn’t a finished visual effects shot," he said. "So the part of him flying, it was a photograph of his face and him flying. It was a photograph of a drone flying in front of an actual background."

Gunn added, "All the pieces were real, but it was incorporated in kind of a funky way. I didn’t love the shot, so it’s not even the shot that’s in the movie."

The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker continued, "Sometimes I’m pretty strict about when I’m going through a trailer and looking at each of the shots, but sometimes the commercials, I forget to look at this closely. So that one kind of got by me."

The upcoming Superman movie will be released in cinemas on July 11.
