It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s DC’s last, best chance to make a movie that rivals Marvel.

James Gunn, who was hired by Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav to reinvigorate DC’s cinematic universe after a series of duds like “The Flash” and “Justice League,” took the stage at CinemaCon on Tuesday to share what he’s been cooking up. And the project that he’s most personally invested in, “Superman,” also saw him write the screenplay and direct the comic book adventure. The idea is to offer audiences a brighter, more optimistic do-over after DC went down a darker, dour path with the Snyder-verse.

“This is a movie that celebrates kindness and human love,” Gunn promised theater owners.
