Hollywood Insider Claims James Gunn’s New ‘Superman’ Has Had Tough Test Screenings

by

As a seasoned movie reviewer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen more flops than I care to remember. But when it comes to the new DCU’s Superman reboot, I’m not just worried – I’m downright skeptical.

The rumors about Jeff Sneider’s test screenings have left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. If these reports are true, then ol’ Supes is heading for a crash landing before he even takes flight. And if you ask me, that’s a real “Kryptonite” moment for the DCU.

But as always, it’s important to take Hollywood insider gossip with a grain of salt. After all, I once believed that Catwoman could carry her own movie franchise (spoiler alert: she couldn’t). So let’s wait and see if James Gunn can prove the doubters wrong and give us a Superman we can believe in.

And on a lighter note, I can’t help but wonder what Lois Lane will think when she finds out that her beloved Clark Kent is actually an alien. I mean, talk about an “alienating” revelation! But hey, maybe it’ll make for a good punchline at the local Daily Planet water cooler.

The fresh take on Superman at DCU is said to convince viewers once more that a human can soar through the skies. However, if the whispers are accurate regarding James Gunn’s upcoming project, he’ll find himself crashing back to reality swiftly.

In the initial major movie of the revamped DC Universe, Superman appears, with Gunn serving as both writer and director. David Corenswet takes on the role of the Man of Steel, while Rachel Brosnahan plays Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult embodies Lex Luthor, and a variety of familiar faces portray beloved DC Comics characters. Even though it’s seven months until its release, a source close to the production hints that Superman might be facing some challenges.

Based on reports from a trusted Hollywood source, Jeff Sneider, the initial viewer tests for James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ project have been conducted. However, these screenings haven’t generated the favorable responses that the DC Universe urgently requires to gain momentum.

On his podcast, The Hot Mic, Sneider expressed concerns, stating that initial responses have been alarming and potentially franchise-ending. He mentioned he’s been hearing warnings to be concerned.

According to Sneider’s statement, James Gunn has taken note of some feedback that’s been circulating. This update follows James Gunn’s recent announcement about resuming photography for Superman. Although some people saw the reshoots as a cause for concern, Gunn clarified they were just additional shots, not extensive re-shoots. Nevertheless, Sneider hinted at several potential reasons to feel anxious.

Are ‘Superman’s Negative Test Screening Rumors Actually True?

As someone who’s been following the world of film industry news for quite some time now, I find it essential to emphasize that any reports about upcoming projects should be taken with a grain of salt. In my years of observing Hollywood, I’ve learned that nothing is ever set in stone until officially confirmed by the studio or key personnel involved.

Take, for example, the recent rumors swirling around DC Studios and Warner Bros., which have been attributed to Jeff Sneider – a name synonymous with scoops in Tinseltown. While I must acknowledge that he has broken some genuinely groundbreaking stories, it’s also important to remember his track record includes numerous instances of inaccuracies.

With the director in question being James Gunn, who is known for addressing rumors on social media, it’s possible we may hear more about these speculations soon enough. However, until such confirmation comes from reliable sources, I advise fellow enthusiasts to remain cautiously optimistic.

According to Sneider, Superman is in trouble (even without Lex Luthor pursuing him) and some inside sources claim that the test screenings have been fabricated. However, as reported by journalist Matias Lertora, there have been no actual test screenings for Superman recently. This information comes from a reliable source, according to Lertora. The post concludes with a warning to viewers to take all “inside scoops” with a large amount of salt and not to believe everything they read.

The responses to early previews of Superman might be guesswork, but the reactions to its initial official trailer are solid. This trailer has already shattered a YouTube record for DC Studios, garnering more than 22.6 million views within the first day. Many people were thrilled by the trailer, praising Corenswet for his impressive portrayal in the super-suit. On the other hand, some fans (predominantly of Zack Snyder) are still grappling with Henry Cavill’s departure from the role.
