James Gunn finally reveals main theme of ‘Superman’

James Gunn has recently revealed the primary theme of his highly anticipated movie, Superman.

The DC Studios head explained the real reason behind making upcoming Superman movie in an exclusive interview with The Times of London.

James said that the Superman is the “story of America” because he is an “immigrant” that came from other places and “populated the country”.

But for the movie-maker, it is “mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost”.

James noted that the movie’s themes might be “interpreted differently” by people, given the current nationwide unrest around immigration.

However, the Peacemaker director mentioned that he doesn’t care whether anyone “takes offense” by his movie.

“Yes, it plays differently, but it’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them,” explained the 58-year-old.

James reflected that it’s “about politics but on another level, it’s about morality”.

“Do you never kill no matter what — which is what Superman believes — or do you have some balance, as Lois believes? It’s really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart,” added the seasoned director.

Meanwhile, Superman, which will hit the theatres on July 11, stars David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult among the leading cast
