“James and Peter’s commitment to honor the legacy of the DC universe while inspired something new and fascinating.”

The first success of Supermaninterpreted David Corenswet AND Rachel Brosnahanarrives in the wake of a series of DC errors such as The flash, Aquaman and the lost kingdom, Shazam: Fury of the GodsAND Blu Scarabeo Everyone fought to have an impact. But with a fresh vision, a tone restarted and a clearer roadmap, Gunn Superman It has become such a necessary turning point.

Zaslav recalled his initial meeting with Gunn, noting how much these characters seemed to him personal. “When he spoke of the DC characters, they were like his family.” That level of connection, he said, made it obvious that Gunn was the right person to guide the cinematographic restart.

Zaslav clarified that this was only the beginning, saying: “This weekend, we saw Superman go up while James Gunn’s passion and vision came to life on the big screen. Superman is only the first step.

“Only in the next year, DC Studios will introduce supergirl and Clayface films in cinemas and the lanterns of the series on HBO Max, all part of a bold 10 -year plan. The DC vision is clear, the momentum is real and I could not be more enthusiastic than what is in advance.”
