Rumors Swirled The Superman Trailer Was Partially Delayed Due To Kendrick Lamar’s New Music, And James Gunn Shared His Honest Take

by

As a seasoned gamer and DC fan with years of experience navigating the tumultuous seas of Internet rumors, I can confidently say that the latest Superman reboot trailer delay rumor is as believable as a three-legged kangaroo jumping over the moon. It’s amusing how these tales take on a life of their own, spreading faster than an uncontrollable wildfire in a dry forest. In this case, it’s akin to believing that the Man of Steel himself would be delayed by Kendrick Lamar’s new album – now, that’s just a comic book twist too far!

Recently, there’s been buzz surrounding the rumored delay of the trailer for the eagerly awaited Superman reboot. Some posts suggested that the delay was due to director James Gunn being distracted by Kendrick Lamar’s new album. Now, Gunn himself has clarified the situation.

Despite seeming unbelievable, the rumor rapidly gained traction, amassing over 2 million views. Not one to avoid addressing fan discussions with a direct response, James Gunn responded on X (previously known as Twitter) to clarify matters in his straightforward manner. The director of Guardians of the Galaxy re-shared an account propagating the claim and countered with a retort:

I see less true things here every day.

Short, sharp, and very much on brand for the Superman helmer and DC Studios co-CEO.

On various occasions, the creator of Peacemaker has found himself refuting exaggerated assumptions about his upcoming superhero movie and DCTV show plans. Since he assumed control over DC’s new cinematic universe, every action he takes is closely scrutinized. Be it casting choices, script adjustments, or postponed trailers in this specific instance, people are swift to weave their own stories when formal announcements are scarce.

It’s quite entertaining how this rumor ties into Kendrick Lamar’s sudden release of his new album, GNX, in 2024. Lamar, who has been reigning supreme in the rap world this year, solidified his position as Rap MVP when his new tunes appeared on streaming platforms on Friday, November 22, at around noon ET. The unexpected drop followed a brief one-minute teaser on YouTube that led fans to anticipate a conventional album release strategy. However, Lamar surprised everyone by releasing a 12-track album through pgLang just hours after the teaser.

The upcoming project comes after Kendrick Lamar’s much-discussed conflict with Drake, further solidifying his position as a key player, ready to command the spotlight during the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in February 2025.

James Gunn’s quick rebuttal to the unfounded speculation is a perfect example of a sharp, concise comeback that serves as a reminder that not all information circulating online should be taken at face value. In this era where misinformation spreads faster than internet speed, it’s essential to pause and verify facts. For those eagerly awaiting the new Superman, rest assured, the film is still set for its grand premiere in 2025 as planned.

The highly anticipated trailer may be released earlier than expected, possibly at CCXP 2024 in Brazil. According to rumors from ComicBook, the writer of Slither who now oversees DC could unveil this first footage at the event. Notably, Warner Bros. has a track record of using this convention for major announcements – recall the buzz they created for The Suicide Squad in 2020. Therefore, stay alert; it looks like Superman might be ready to soar into action sooner than anticipated.

The DC Universe’s movie division officially begins with “Superman” on July 11, 2025, marking the start of Chapter 1, named “Gods and Monsters.” For now, fans will have to exercise some patience. But don’t worry, if you need something to entertain you in the meantime, Kendrick Lamar has just released an album called “GNX” which might make a great companion until Superman returns to the silver screen!
