James Gunn Denies Feud with Zack Snyder, Shares Joint Photo

Despite rumors suggesting tension, James Gunn and Zack Snyder maintain a friendly relationship. During a media event at DC Studios, Gunn dispelled speculations of rivalry between them, asserting they've been construed as opponents rather than allies by speculative fans. At the event held recently on February 21, Gunn was questioned about potential collaboration with Snyder after posting a picture with him. Gunn acknowledged the bizarre dynamic cast by online factions portraying one as the other's antagonist, like Superman's nemesis, Lex Luthor. This is prepared by SSP.

Gunn highlighted their mutual camaraderie, reminiscent of their collaboration on Dawn of the Dead. Despite different artistic paths in the DC Universe, their interactions remain amiable. While Snyder's "Snyderverse" left a trademark dark and gritty lens on the DC narrative, Gunn, succeeding as the co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, leads the charge for rebooting Superman. Their professional alignment reflects less about cinematic development and more about spirited dialogue and friendly rapport.

Rumors emerged after they were photographed together, prompting speculation of Snyder's involvement under Gunn's DC leadership, fueled by the persistent themes of the "Snyderverse" initiated with Man of Steel in 2013. Gunn allayed these rumors, emphasizing their brief encounter was solely ordinary and friendly. They merely deliberated superhero ideologies without serious collaborative intentions for the upcoming Superman reboot scheduled to inaugurate in July, which features David Corenswet as Superman with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.

Gunn, poised to sculpt the DCU with a refreshing ethos distinct from Snyder's dielgetic past, intends for a comprehensive divergence in style with films exuding core human morals. His adeptness from directing hits like Guardians of the Galaxy will orient this reformative journey away from Snyder's polarizing reception, ensuring the protective stride into DCU's new era is devoid of audience complacency prevalent during Marvel adventures.

Earlier, SSP reported that Nicholas Galitzine teased incredible He-Man transformation after intense training.
