James Gunn shoots back at ‘Superman’ fans unhappy with latest teaser

nme.com:

Superman director James Gunn has defended the movie’s latest teaser after fans voiced their concerns.After a new trailer aired on Sunday (January 26), showing Superman flying through frozen tundra, fans suggested that computer-generated imagery had been used to alter the face of David Corenswet, who plays the titular superhero.While some fans were unhappy, another took to Threads to express that the teaser “looks dope” with a “great camera angle of Superman flying,” – but added: “Except there’s something in his face that looks a little off.

I know there’s plenty of time to refine the CG.”Gunn replied: “There is absolutely zero CG in his face. People’s faces can look different when you put a wide-angle lens up close.

The background plate in Svalbard is 100% real as is David.”Some other unhappy Superman fans then responded to this, too, saying, “I believe him” and “We can tell.”It begins July 11th. #Superman pic.twitter.com/ey5Bwhnt6D— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) January 26, 2025 Others turned Corenswet’s Superman into a meme, editing the faces of characters such as Steve Buscemi’s Crazy Eyes (Mr.
