James Gunn responds to Superman scene criticism
James Gunn, director of Superman, responded to fans upset over a recent flying scene with David Corenswet.
The shot, which some called "CG superimposed," wasn't a finished visual effects shot.
Gunn admitted, "I didn't love the shot," and promised it won't be in the final movie.
What's the controversy?
The criticized clip came from a TV commercial—not the film—and was made by combining Corenswet's face with drone footage over real scenery.
Fans jumped in to debate CGI use after seeing early trailers, but Gunn explained there was no CGI on Corenswet's face—just some creative camera work.
He also owned up to not reviewing this promo closely enough before it went out.
What you see in ads isn't always the final vibe
Gunn's honest response highlights how early promo footage can look rough compared to what ends up on screen.
It's a reminder that what you see in ads isn't always the final vibe of a big movie—especially one dropping July 11, 2025.
