We’ve had a lot of ‘Super’ in Superman over the years, and I’m happy to have made a movie that focuses on the ‘man’ part of the equation – a kind person always looking out for those in need. That that resonates so powerfully with so many people across the world is in itself a hopeful testament to the kindness and quality of human beings.

Superman has officially outpaced Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel at the domestic box office. Directed by James Gunn, the reboot earned more in its first weekend than the 2013 film, marking a strong start for DC Studios. The early success sets the stage for the franchise’s next chapter under Gunn’s direction.
