FT editor Roula Khalaf, chooses his favorite stories in this weekly newsletter.
He thought of the James Gunn himself as a hero, too, without reviving the Superman with a new blockbuster. Back in 2010, director – is not as strong as it is – a lower budgeted dark comedy directed Super. Rainn Wilson played from the US version Office As Frank, one of one’s convincing thing wanted to be a superhero. Laughter came from Frank’s housewear, but they are worried about a movie with a strange fierce flavor. “Frank, in many ways,” Gunn then said. Comedy was not more comfortable.
However, Hollywood will always be a place for a good guy type that can do in the Gunn, 58, in the box office. Starting in 2014, he took a triple popular film The guardians of the galaxy franchise. They earned $ 2.5 billion together. Now came the chance for Gunn to put the seal Superman – Most of the heroes.
The Gunn’s story has not been indispensable. In 2018, his career was opened after the palm. However, his exile was short and his next success allowed him to climb the C-Suite. Also write and guide SupermanGunn is now its own manufacturer as a co-chairs of DC Studios, a comic book of the comic book of the comic book of the Burner’s discovery. The destination was taken by Warner CEO David Zaslav in 2022. Although one of his previous work is strange, the gunn is known as Genial figure. Zaslav’s has a reputation for being tough. It is though to take into account for the gun so make it very individual Superman Movie for $ 225 million film.
This big bet, superhero movies come as deathly danger. A traveler who lasted for a while 10 years ago would read this sentence into distrust. In the back then, in general, comic book films – and Disney subsidiary, especially the kingdom of the two brands. One was a crown jeweler Avengers The series. The other was Gonzo Guardianthe first part where the gun is tested.
Blockbuster Superhero movies can sometimes feel the personality, it was loaded with the signature: Zany characters, Talking animals and star Chris Pratt. Gunn was once a real life fan of Trashy religious films from a large Catholic family in Manchester, Missouri. Even after the success of the first Guardian The film was sufficiently whispered between Hollywood peers to write a Facebook post for “self-designated elite” reset.
Basically, these were the days of glory. The audience was very big for Superhero pictures and was very loyal. They didn’t have to be at least unless astonished.
As Avengers last collected in 2019, the company probably declined the cash register with the fight for inspiration. It was as if it was the last shot to emphasize the point Deadpool vs WolverineSemi-ratio that makes jokes jokes through Marvel’s case.
What did the superheroes kill or at least leave them in the last chance hall? An answer is often a terrible rate of endless rotations. The other is an increasingly polar society, which is a variable, superheroes found themselves.
In 2018, Gunn himself was caught on the cross. Problems started with the principal of skeptical comments on Donald Trump. After the conservative Outlet daily calling, the tweets written in 2008-09, which involved jokes about Taboo subjects and Taboo as 9/11. (Their provocative tone reminded of young Gunn Super). He had a long apology, but despite the support of colleagues, Disney “cut off” his attitude to him. Gunn said he was feeling that his career was finished.
Next year, Disney looked back. Gunn was hired to make the third Guardian The film. Another huge hit. Zasave is not difficult to imagine the smile of the satisfaction when you want to jump off the ship for Zaslav’s warning. Although he saved the superhero film of the Superman’s superhero, it can help the majority.
The experience of 2018 cows is not known from this film. Politics is in a straight view. Superman is an alien in America, the status that makes it a target for the wickedness in Cahoots with the US government. Gunn openly spoke as a “immigrant” story from his superman.
Yes, he said: “The main human kindness” awaits complaints on a fairy tale. But they will be “nails”. (“Goodbye”.) It can be said that it is said that it is almost lived with cultural wars, the demand for his kindness is so far.
How much can a part of the price in price Superman It still feels like the movie of James Gunn – Wacky and funny. But there is a serious issue of hero. Although this superman is a light hearted, he is not an Edgelord like Deadpool. Instead, it is an outsider with an optimistic optimism and a will to bring together humanity and people.
And to keep doing it. The film is full of the instructions of future followers. So far, it can feel like a charming destiny. This weekend, we will learn whether the audience still needs a superhero, gunno, guns and a superhero made by studios.
SupermanThen a gambling of $ 225 million. A new franchise will be another victory. In the same way, a flop will be put on the door. But I feel more than career results, Gunn can be a bigger mission. First, the movie of the superhero – then, perhaps, you save the world.
