James Gunn sagt, dass „Superman“ Kinogänger nicht mit so vielen Charakteren verwechseln wird: „Oppenheimer“ hatte „dreimal so viele sprechende Rollen“.

> “We’re used to seeing movies with protagonists and Superman is definitely the protagonist of Superman, and he has his work friends and he has his play friends,” Gunn explained. “Now, I don’t know if the Justice Gang are his play friends or if his work friends at the Daily Planet are his work friends or his play friends, but that’s the two groups of his friends from different places. And just because they have insignias on their costumes or superpowers doesn’t mean they’re not like any other supporting character in any movie.”

> Gunn then put things into perspective a different way: “I think ‘Oppenheimer’ has three times as many speaking roles as we do. So I think people are fine.”

That’s maybe the worst anecdotal choice to compare your DC comics movie to Oppenheimer. A Superman film simply can’t support so many characters speaking, unless Nolan were to do it again. Sorry James.

Is this a reference to an ongoing story I’m unaware of or is he basically just assuming that people who watch these movies are idiots

Oppenheimer had over 75 speaking roles. But those were all real people in circumstances that actually happened (aside from the Senate Aide).

25 sounds like quite a bit to keep track of for a superhero movie.

I’m getting nervous with him talking a lot. If this was a certified banger wouldn’t you just say “you’ll just have to wait and see” and just let it be amazing.

I’m glad he clarified this since the trailers seemed to be full of like a dozen random villains and miscellaneous heroes. Hopefully most of those will just be minor roles.

So much projected earning is riding on in this movie
People are nervous.

I’m so over his pompous bulls#*t. At the end of the day, you can only polish a turd so much.

I’ll wait for it to hit VHS and rent it from the local Blockbuster.
