Speaking of, I saw the trailer/F1 yesterday with my friend who's running the marketing campaign and she said all her colleagues are raving about the 3D conversion. I saw Gunn say the same thing a couple weeks ago and figured that was just standard promotion or whatever, but she said even the people who normally hate 3D thought it looked incredible in the format, couldn't stop talking about it, etc. So, just an FYI for those interested.

Good interview with Gunn and Corenswet along with some new clips from the movie. I love Corenswet's answer to the final question of the interview by the way. I can't wait until next week!
SKYLER GISONDO thought he was auditioning for SUPERMAN:

I'm starting to wonder if EVERYONE in the cast auditioned for Superman?! First Nicholas Hoult and now Skyler Gisondo?
Post production 3D is crap. Filmed stereoscopically or I am not watching in 3d.
I wouldn't watch this if you don't want any of the action spoiled… but for those who don't care, it's a pretty good little showcase for how fun the action looks to be…
this feels so comic booky oh my goddd and that score pic.twitter.com/uI4WsBBOH8

They're looking to see if it's a bird or a plane or maybe something else…
It's rare, but every so often they set out to absolutely nail a post processed 3D conversion and actually pull it off. The 30th anniversary release of Top Gun comes to mind..

Jurassic Park did a 3D for its 30th anniversary too and it was awesome. And I typically hate 3D.
I hope this guy never changes. lol.
Yes, that was was actually well done. I had seen the 3D version of the animated Beauty and the Beast, thought it looked awful, but the chance to see Jurassic Park again in a theater was too much to pass up.veryfuller said:

Just SIX...MORE...DAYS!
You may have seen this promotional Superman statue flying over London yesterday Well, here is how they made it.
The best 3D ever is still 3D. No thanks.
Very few movie experiences have wow'ed me quite like seeing Avatar in 3D. The movie, story, and acting were "meh", but the 3D and visuals were jaw-dropping.double aught said:

We got our tickets for Saturday night at the Houston city Centre theater….this will be the first time my 3 boys get introduced to Supes so I really hope this is a great memory for them….
Plus my dad really loved the first two Christopher Reeves movies so hoping I don't cry too much with the memory feels here with that dang score…..
Some folks will be seeing Superman on Tuesday night, Amazon Prime sponsored early showing. That will include my party of 3.
.@Spotify asked me to create playlists for many of the characters in #Superman, imagining the music each of them listened to. I haven't had more fun this year.https://t.co/uVvS4TIUxv pic.twitter.com/C3gXnCUiRE

I don't know that I will, but this is among a few movies coming out that have me considering going back into the theaters. I like Gunn, Corenswet seems to be on the ball. I have my own naughty puppy right now, so Krypto is hitting the spot.
I have to laugh at Mankiewicz not finishing the iconic line, though. Pretty sure nobody at CBS news could say it without mumbling. /F16

Random sidenote, just watched Superman 78 while home with my parents, and we realized every main character in it has died. (Reeve, Kidder, Brando, Hackman, and Beatty)
Kinda crazy.

Unfortunately, that happens when you watch a movie that's (somehow) almost 50 years old. Still my favorite Superman movie, hoping this new one will be really good too.
And yet still a pretty rare occurrence, especially when the main characters were somewhat young.
It's like if Harrison, Carrie, and Mark Hamill were all dead.

James Gunn Says 'Superman' Is About an 'Immigrant That Came From Other Places' and How We've 'Lost' the Value of 'Basic Human Kindness': 'Yes, it’s About Politics' https://t.co/X3fCHq2yGc
— Variety (@Variety) July 6, 2025
I am sure there will be those who claim this isn't happening*
* I haven't seen it yet, just going off the headline. If JG did make this about politics with a slant at how cruel Trump is, then that will be disappointing. Now the first part of that statement is accurate to the character, but nowhere in Superman comics or previous films/TV series did they claim it to be basic kindness to allow unfettered immigration.
I hope the headline is simply click bait to enrage conservatives.

Maybe what Trump is doing is worthy of condemnation. Crazy to say on this website, i know.
#Superman’s immigrant identity is absolutely crucial to his character, and stating that fact shouldn’t be controversial.

If Superman being an immigrant is an inflammatory political statement to someone, they inherently misunderstand the character. https://t.co/nWbLBNjdhU
Just a reminder that Superman was written by two Jewish immigrants. Has always been apart of his story. https://t.co/9wrkZN3QOT

There’s no controversy. Superman is from another fucking planet. He’s as about as much of an immigrant as you can get.
— Zach Cooper (@ZachCooper182) July 6, 2025
If that causes someone’s feathers to get ruffled then I hope they don’t see it. I don’t want to share a theater with those morons.
Superman is an immigrant refugee from a dying homeland, where they denied climate change & science. He was raised to care for others, grows up to be a journalist, his main enemy is a wealthy businessman who becomes President. His creators were Jewish. It was always political. https://t.co/VtElE8LQnP

Regardless of how you feel about this, it is absolutely stupid that Gunn said that out loud. There is no upside to the words "yes, it's about politics". Can't believe Hollywood folks keep shooting themselves in the foot like this.
I would also, you know, actually try reading the article itself before jumping to conclusions. For instance, here's the full "immigrant" quote…
Also, Gunn is saying the movie features politics as part of the plot (which we've known for months now), not that it's some Trump allegory or whatever…
Quote:
"I mean, Superman is the story of America. An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost."
Also, Gunn is saying the movie features politics as part of the plot (which we've known for months now), not that it's some Trump allegory or whatever…
Quote:
Releasing July 11 in theaters, David Corenswet stars as the iconic bespectacled superhero, depicted in the movie as an already established reporter at the Daily Planet dating Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). When he gets drawn into conflict at home and abroad, the Man of Steel - and his trusty flying dog Krypto - must contend with swiftly shifting public opinion as tech billionaire Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) spots an opportunity to ascend.
"Yes, it's about politics," Gunn said of his take. "But on another level it's about morality. Do you never kill no matter what which is what Superman believes or do you have some balance, as Lois believes? It's really about their relationship and the way different opinions on basic moral beliefs can tear two people apart."
That last tweet is hilarious. "Denied climate change and science". Let's shoehorn in even more political b.s.
Zero issue with Superman being an immigrant. It's integral to his story. But I also don't think you can equate a fictional, God level space alien with someone from Mexico sneaking into Texas.
To Gunn, I can be kind and still say illegal immigrants should follow the legal path to get there like millions before them have.
It's the sane, common sense approach to this issue and is better for all if adhered to.

Literally no one here, and especially not Gunn, is arguing to the contrary.
