I bow to Gunn but I was hesitant with him helming Superman..
After watching Guardians 3, I take back everything I said
His ability to garner empathy from subjects which unfairly receive apathy such as raccoons (Suicide Squad did this, as well, with rats) proves a perfect match for Superman. Gunn's heart is sappy but earnest, and he has an uncanny devotion to character arcs and realizations of self-discovery through teamwork+family. And 3 displayed a more mature handling of his unwavering attraction to provocation and juvenile humor (which works for stuff like Super or Suicide Squad, but occasionally overbearing in previous Guardians movies). He uses banter and irreverent comedy in 3 as a means of levity and Superman movies need levity
Agreed. He's going to do an incredible job with Superman.

Huh, that was amazing. I haven't felt this way about a Marvel movie since No Way Home. Really liked Wakanda Forever, but I liked this way more.
I can't wait to see what James Gunn does with Superman.

After seeing reception across Asia, I am calling it a new beginning! Phase V might have start slow but should end up better than Phase IV
Now let's see if they can keep this up without James Gunn...

This one's not WB. Only as far as home video/re-releases, but originally they had nothing to do with it
Ah, got it. Will revise that.

Disney MUST make it clear this is only coming out exclusively in theaters, say ONLY IN THEATERS in all the trailers and online ads. Otherwise everyone will assume this is another Pixar movie coming out day 1 on D+, and most won't watch it in theaters.
Yeah, we are in this mess right now. Thanks Chapek. Iger has a lot of work to do to build up the Pixar brand again.
This.
With Guardians 3 in the rearview mirror, I think The Little Mermaid and Elemental will be the Disney's biggest priorities. And I expect the premiere at Cannes to be the start of their final marketing push.

Hopeful that The Marvels can have similarly favorable reception.

Anything in between $400-500M would be a huge success given the state Disney is in right now. A solid OW is possible, but only with a major push in the marketing and strong word of mouth.
Half of it will depend on reviews and marketing, the other half will depend on luck.

Superman | July 11, 2025 | James Gunn writing and directing | David Corenswet is Clark, Rachel Brosnahan is Lois
in Box Office Discussion

Two things can be true, IMO:
1. The Snyderverse fans are a loud minority on Twitter which don't accurately represent the public perception of Superman.
2. The public perception of Superman has been negatively affected by Snyder's take on the character. And now, Gunn will have the chance to (positively) shape it with his movie.
