Those with even the most basic knowledge of the Superman story would not have been surprised to hear what filmmaker James Gunn - director of the highly-anticipated Superman reboot - stated plainly in a recent interview with The Sunday Times.

James Gunn reveals that Superman tells the story of America, about "an immigrant that came from other places," and values human kindness.

Fans are mere days away from seeing what James Gunn and the DC Universe have in store, and early word is super. Superman comes to theaters July 11, with early fan screenings happening July 8. In preparation, the social media embargo on press and influencers who’ve seen the film has now lifted, and the response is incredibly positive.
