James Gunn Didn’t Want to Make ‘Superman.’ What Changed His Mind?

James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, initially did not want to take on the task of rebooting the Superman character. However, after much deliberation, he decided to take on the project, which is intended to kickstart a new era of DC films and projects.

Nevertheless, Gunn eventually recognized the potential for a unique interpretation that could breathe new life into the franchise. The article suggests that Gunn's decision to take on the Superman reboot is part of a broader strategy to redefine the DC cinematic universe under the newly rebranded DC Studios.
