David Corenswet is a fan of James Gunn, under whose leadership he became Superman. But during shooting, he now says, he had a creative clash over a scene.
This was a giggle that happened when Lois Lane and Clark Kent kissed while floating near the end of the movie.
But the filmmaker was against it when David did it. “James [Gunn]When I did, she chuckled as she said, “I love you too.” he came to me and said, ‘It’s not working. It has to be solemn,” he tells Jonathan Bailey during an interview with Variety.
Despite the director’s opinion, the Superman star remembers standing his ground, saying, “I was like, ‘No! The whole point is, ‘I fucking know you love me.’
‘Thanks to James. He was right about 90% of everything, but at that point he saw that chuckling was very truthful.”
In other news, a trailer for Supergirl drops this week. James previously said that Milly Alcock, who plays the superhero, will fit into the DC universe, but in a different way.
“Supergirl in particular is a space adventure. It’s similar to Guardians. Lanterns is its own thing,” he continued.
“There’s just a longer, kind of bigger world that we’re building with all these different pieces and they’re all coming together and intersecting sometimes in a narrative way and sometimes just in a, you know, ‘Here’s another piece of the world’ way,” the director added.
Supergirl will hit theaters on June 26, 2026.
