Superman: James Gunn reacts to France 2's blunder and seems furious

While he spent the weekend at New York Comic Con, filmmaker James Gunn reacted on X to a big blunder on France 2 news.

Superman: James Gunn feels nauseous after France 2's blunder

Appointed in 2022 as artistic director of DC Studios, James Gunn has a lot to do to bring the public back to the films of the Distinguished Competition. However, the director of the trilogy Guardians of the Galaxy (for Marvel), The Suicide Squad and season 1 of Peacemaker (for DC) does not lack ambition; from December, we will be able to discover the first work of the DCU: the animated series Creature Commandos, written and produced by James Gunn, and whose latest ultra-violent teaser was unveiled to the public at NYCC. Creature Commandos will serve as an appetizer before the release of the film Superman, written and directed by James Gunn, expected in theaters on July 9, 2025.

This film, eagerly awaited by comic book fans, was at the heart of a sequence this weekend in the France 2 news presented by Laurent Delahousse and which caused a lot of ink to flow. Indeed, the channel revealed a fake trailer created by an Artificial Intelligence, instead of official images. James Gunn, who had revealed earlier in the week an image of Superman played by David Corenswet and Superdog, reacted on X. And judging by the three vomiting emojis, we imagine that he did not feel honored by the France 2 subject.

À When a user wrote to him: “Oh no, I was hoping you wouldn't see it,” the filmmaker replied: “I hope so too.“Not only does this blunder come at a time when the use of AI is causing great upheaval and concern in Hollywood, but it also seems to demonstrate the lack of interest of the France 2 editorial staff in superhero productions.

In addition, NYCC was an opportunity for James Gunn to give news of the first trailer for Superman. He thus affirmed that the trailer will arrive neither too early nor too late. Note that the first trailers for Mad Max: Furiosa by George Miller, Beetlejuice Beetlejuiceby Tim Burton and Joker: Folie à Deuxby Todd Phillips were revealed to the public between five and six months before their release. We can therefore expect a first trailer between January and February 2025. However, the event nature of the Superman film could motivate Warner Bros. Discovery to reveal the trailer in December 2024, in the wake of the series Creature Commandos on the Max platform. In any case, we hope that the France 2 news will not miss the boat and reveal the right images this time!
