More wisecracking than the Christopher Reeve films, but more hopeful than the Snyderverse, Superman by James Gunn is a solid hit

The ending of James Gunn's "Superman" not only finds the Man of Steel coming to a crucial decision, but plants the seeds for lots of DC stories to come.

Variety similarly asked Superman stars Nathan Fillion (who plays Guy Gardner) and James’ brother Sean Gunn (who plays Maxwell Lord) for their reaction to the “Superwoke” backlash. Fillion’s reaction was to let out a hearty laugh: “Aw, somebody needs a hug,” he teased. “Just a movie, guys.”
