As excitement grows for Superman, the inaugural film in James Gunn’s new DC Universe, controversy is already emerging — not from critics, but from a faction of Zack Snyder loyalists. Some fans of the original ‘SnyderVerse’ have allegedly initiated an online campaign to undermine the film’s release on July 11, leading to a pointed yet measured response from Gunn himself.
James Gunn responds to SnyderVerse fans
On Reddit, one user mobilizing Snyder fans shared a call to ‘fight for our SnyderVerse’ by disrupting Gunn’s Superman debut. The post suggested strategies such as posting spoilers, leaving negative reviews, and reserving tickets without actually buying them to impact box office performance.
James Gunn, however, seems undeterred. Addressing the movement on Threads, he stated, “I think we will survive. I’m not sure the eight people that listen to that guy (I’m going to go out on a limb and guess it’s a guy) are going to impact the course of events.”
