Superman Will fly to reception screens faster than expected to help stimulate the profile of another DCU star.

By VarietyDirector James Gunn spoke with Screen journalist Liam Crowley on the surprise decision to give Superman A digital outing on August 15, coming just over a month after returning to the big screen. Asked about Warner Bros. ‘Raving, Gunn described him as “very complicated” but finally considered that this was due to the release of Peacemaker Season 2. “I originally thought that Peacemaker was going to go out next month. There were a lot of things that were out of our control, so that Peacemaker is going out now, and, at the end of the day, I wanted everyone to see Superman who wanted it,” he said.

Although it is not clear if the announcement will end SupermanThe box office race, the film marked a solid start for Gunn and the DC universe of Peter Safran both in a critical and financial way. For the moment, it has a score of 83% of criticisms on Rotten Tomatoes and an even stronger score of 91% of the public, even exceeding the beginnings of Zack Snyder in Superman Steel man Become the most profitable Superman’s autonomous film in terms of interior income. The film follows an already established superman (David Corenswet) whose crusade for truth and justice is upset after the criminal brain Lex Luthor discovered a shocking secret of his extraterrestrial heritage. Compared to other autonomous films of Superman – which traditionally portray Kal -El as a singular hero in his universe – Gunn’s film has not only populated this world of other metahumans, but presented a cameo of his cousin Kara Zor -El towards the end, with his film with his film Supergirl Release next year.

Peacemaker Season 2 will resume where Superman had stopped

A hero who briefly presented himself Superman was John Cena’s peacemaker, whose new season will also take place within the chronology of the DCU, despite the DCEU. It has already been teased in Peacemaker The initial trailer for season 2, which saw Christopher Smith attend a failed hearing organized by Maxwell Lord and the members of the Gang de Justice Guy Gardner and Hawkgirl. Additional marketing has revealed the accent put by the season on adjacent multi -time events, with a peacemaker discovering a pocket universe leading to a world where he is publicly venerated as a hero. The character had already experienced interdimensional trips in a non -canonical sense, Cena expressing Peacemaker as a guest character in Mortel Kombat 1.

The more in -depth connection of DCU films and programs is the next Lanterns Series, with Guy (Nathan Fillion) appearing opposite the Hal Jordan co-plates and John Stewart. Another superman, meanwhile, will return in My adventures with Superman Season 3, which is currently in post-production.
