James Gunn: ‘I Don't Think Superman Is All Good'
James Gunn says that isn't all good and Lex Luthor isn't all bad in the new DCU movie.
Superman arrives in theaters in just one month from Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios. Written and directed by Gunn, the blockbuster movie stars David Corenswet as the titular superhero, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn said, 'There are some characters that are really almost saintly, like Superman. There are some characters who are almost pretty terrible, like Lex Luthor. But I don't think Lex is all bad, and I don't think Superman is all good. All those people in between, the Guy Gardners and the Jimmy Olsens of the world, are even more complex in their moralities and what they think is okay.'
Green Lantern Guy Gardner is being played by Nathan Fillion in the film, while Skyler Gisondo portrays Jimmy Olsen.
The cast further includes Edi Gathegi as Michael Holt/Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Rex Mason/Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl, Pruitt Taylor Vince as Jonathan Kent, Neva Howell as Martha Kent, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Beck Bennett as Steve Lombard, Mikaela Hoover as Cat Grant, Christopher McDonald as Ron Troupe, Sara Sampaio as Eve Teschmacher, Terence Rosemore as Otis, Frank Grillo as Rick Flag Sr., María Gabriela de Faría as Angela Spica/The Engineer, and Alan Tudyk as the voice of Superman Robot #4.
'Superman, DC Studios' first feature film to hit the big screen, is set to soar into theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures,' the official synopsis for the movie reads. 'In his signature style, James Gunn takes on the original superhero in the newly imagined DC universe with a singular blend of epic action, humor, and heart, delivering a Superman who's driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind.'
Superman hits United States theaters and IMAX on July 11, 2025.

Video: UFC legend Demetrious Johnson submits KSI in 17 seconds
Yeah, KSI never stood a chance. The popular streamer hit the mat with former UFC flyweight champion Demetrius Johnson, challenging him to submit him in less than one minute. KSI got to choose the position in which they would start, and went with full mount – one of the most dominant positions in jiu-jitsu. Yet, despite the positional and weight advantage, KSI only lasted 17 seconds against the flyweight GOAT. Advertisement You can watch the video of their quick grappling match in the video below: Johnson, 38, is regarded as the greatest flyweight of all time. He defended the 125-pound title 11 consecutive times, setting and maintaining the record for the most consecutive title defenses in UFC history. "Mighty Mouse" announced his retirement from MMA last September, putting an end to a legendary 15-year-career in MMA. KSI, one of the word's most popular streamers, turned to the combat sports world in recent years. He's specifically been fighting professionally in boxing, and owns his own promotion – Misfits Boxing, which streams on DAZN.

Threads Adds Spoiler Tags for Posts
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. After testing them out over the past few months, Threads has now launched its new spoiler tags in posts, which will enable users to hide words in their posts behind a tappable overlay. As you can see in this example, posted by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, now if you want to mention something without letting everyone see (like, for example, a TV show spoiler), you can highlight the relevant text within the composer, then select 'Mark spoiler' to blur it. Viewers will then have the choice as to whether they want to reveal that info or not, which will add another engagement element to your Threads posting options. As noted, Threads has been developing this for some time, with the first indicators of the feature spotted in testing back in January. The option is similar to the spoiler tags on Reddit, providing another consideration when sharing potentially disruptive info. The main target here is TV show discussion, which is still a major element of interaction on X, though Threads says that it's also seeing more chatter about trending shows, including 'The Last of Us' and 'The White Lotus.' Tapping into trending entertainment discussion could help Threads become a bigger competitor for X, and grow its evolving community, which is steadily rising to become a more important companion for live event discussion. Indeed, Threads is now up to 350 million monthly active users, and continues to see strong download momentum. X reported back in March that it's now serving 600 million monthly actives, though it is also losing users in some markets. By focusing on live event discussion, which also includes live sports, Threads is hoping to be able to dethrone X as the place to be for in-the-moment engagement. And if it can win over more of these communities, it could well be on track to become the next billion-user platform, as envisioned by Zuck and Co.
