There are great expectations placed upon the upcoming Superman, which kick starts the new DC Universe against a forever-growing MCU with one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. DC Studios boss and director James Gunn says he's not feeling the pressure, however, as the film doesn't necessarily have to be a massive box office hit in order to legitimize his ambitious plans for the franchise.
During a new interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn was asked about how it felt to work on Superman with the entire future of DC movies on his shoulders. "Really, I just go, 'That's their business.' Because that's not the truth for me. My truth is this is the first movie out of DC Studios," he started.
"I hate it when there's a f*****g article and it's going on about all the problems and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and 'that means even more pressure on James Gunn and Superman.' I’m like, 'Guys, I'm not responsible for all that. I'm responsible for my piece of the pie. I've gotta make my budget back. I'll be very happy with that,'" he said.
We'll have to wait and see how the upcoming DC movie works at the box office, particularly considering the two titanic blockbusters also releasing in July – Jurassic World Rebirth, and Marvel's Fantastic Four: The First Steps.
