James Gunn reveals how MCU errors have modeled Superman post-Credit scene

James Gunn He knows one thing or two on the post-Credit scenes. He gave us some of the most memorable of the MCU and also learned some difficult lessons along the way.

Now, while preparing for launch SupermanThe first theatrical entry into the new DC universe is a little cautious with the way he manages those sting.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn confirmed it Superman It will have a post-cried scene, but don’t expect the door to open for ten DCU projects arriving. Instead, Gunn says he is drawing directly from the experiences passed to Marvel, in particular, where he feels invaded.

“I have a philosophy on the post-Credit scenes. It is somehow related to my mistakes in my time with Marvel. I didn’t like what I did in Guardians 2 in which we created Adam Warlock and we created the guardians of the galaxy and we created all this, which I had not necessarily planned.

“Well, I guess they have planned to make it [Adam Warlock] Promise, but you want to be careful about it. The way in which a post-cried scene works is a fist in the face, like my God! Look at this.

“Sometimes, when you use it exclusively to set something, sometimes you are screwing. It was not easy to work Adam Warlock in the guardians 3.”

If you make fun of something, in the end you expect to follow and, sometimes, the plans change. So, unless it really works, Gunn is not interested in using the final credits as a landfill for configurations they may never pay.

It is a philosophy that has clearly informed how it approached Suicide and his series of spin -offs Pacifier.

“I started shooting the peace show and then I shot [the post-credits scene] And then put it in there, so it was easy. “

With regard to SupermanGunn has already told fans to stay through the credits. The film sets in a clock at 2 hours and 9 minutes, including the Stinger, making it the shortest Superman Film since 1987 Superman IV: The search for peaceBut if you expect a great revelation or a deep mockery Supergirl: Woman of TomorrowIt could be time to adapt expectations.

With Lantern in production e Supergirl Hit the theaters next year, it is tempting to think SupermanThe post-Credit scene could be to plant seeds. And perhaps it is, but Gunn’s caution suggests a closer and more contained approach.

DC Studios is still laying the foundations for his universe, and it seems that Gunn would prefer to keep the post-Credit scene at the service of this film rather than playing on what is at the bottom of the road.
