James Gunn Says SUPERMAN Flying VFX Will Be More Complex Than How He Handled Adam Warlock
James Gunn continues to spend time responding to fans on social media instead of doing the other cool and more interesting stuff that I’d think he’d be doing.
A fan recently reached out to the filmmaker on social media and asked about Superman star David Corenswet originally auditioning for the role of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
In response to that question, he said: “I asked him about it and he said he did so I believe him, but I don’t remember it.”
Gunn was also asked if we can expect the same kind of VFX work in Superman that was done to make Adam Warlock fly in the Guardians movie.
The director then shared: “No, what we’re doing now is more complex than what was done for AW.”
I’m actually intrigued by that answer. It’s not like we haven’t seen people fly in movies before, but I’m curious to see how Gunn handles the visuals of Superman flying. It will also be interesting to learn what this more complex way of making Superman fly entails.
Superman will tell the story of “Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.”
Superman also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane; Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor; Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern; Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl; Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt / Mr. Terrific; Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen; María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica, aka The Engineer; Sara Sampaio, as Eve Teschmacher; and Terence Rosemore as Otis.
Superman is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
