James Gunn addressed fans’ concerns about the expanding cast of Superman: Legacy
Amidst the many complaints that arose following the disappointment of BVS, the major one was the film which was mainly focused on setting up its future projects. So it’s reasonable to see fans having the same concerns after witnessing the ever-expanding cast of Superman: Legacy, however, Gunn clarified that it will not be the case. The director explained he has never used characters to set up the next film, and the entire cast of Legacy is important to flush out his story for Clark Kent. He explained,
“I’ve never used one movie to set up another movie. The characters are there because they help to tell Superman’s story better, not so we can set up separate projects in the franchise. Superman and Lois are the very clear protagonists.”
James Gunn is not new to handling several characters in a film, and following the director’s exquisite resume and his passion for his projects, fans can be optimistic about this iteration of Superman.
