James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie is set to introduce a whole bunch of new characters to the DCU, but he's not worried about confusing audiences.
Asked if he was concerned about dropping audiences in the middle of a fully formed world already full of heroes and villains, Gunn told Esquire Philippines, "No, not really, because I’ve screened the movie for so many people and saw that people aren’t confused. So I know from fact that it’s not confusing."
"We’re used to seeing movies with protagonists and Superman is definitely the protagonist of Superman, and he has his work friends and he has his play friends," Gunn continued.
"Now, I don’t know if the Justice Gang are his play friends or if his work friends at the Daily Planet are his work friends or his play friends, but that’s the two groups of his friends from different places. And just because they have insignias on their costumes or superpowers doesn’t mean they’re not like any other supporting character in any movie. I think Oppenheimer has three times as many speaking roles as we do. So I think people are fine."
