Filmmaker James Gunn says the battered-looking version of Superman seen in the trailer for his highly anticipated “Superman” film represents America.
During a recent Q&A session at the trailer’s premiere, the director acknowledged the political implications present in the film, saying there is a theme of a bruised and bloodied America running through it.
“We do have a battered Superman in the beginning. That is our country,” Gunn said at the event.
