James Gunn is set to direct a highly anticipated reboot of Superman, which aims to kickstart a new era for DC's film universe.

The upcoming Superman film will be preceded by the animated series 'Creature Commandos,' slated for release in December.

Filming for Gunn's Superman movie wrapped up in July, with a release planned for next summer.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Hollywood has sparked significant controversy, with many filmmakers, including Gunn, opposing the technology due to concerns about plagiarism and derivative content.

The film stars David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, with Corenswet announced as Henry Cavill's successor in June 2023.

DC Studios co-chief Peter Safran expressed excitement for 'Creature Commandos,' highlighting its blend of humor, action, and unique characters, typical of Gunn's style.

He pointed out significant flaws in the AI depiction, such as distorted features and awkward proportions, questioning the realism of the portrayal.

This incident is part of a broader backlash against AI in filmmaking, with another AI-generated trailer for Princess Mononoke also facing criticism for undermining artistic integrity.

Gunn's opposition to AI emphasizes the importance of human creativity in cinema, as he believes AI threatens artistic expression.

Many creators share Gunn's concerns, viewing AI in film and television as a threat to artistic creativity due to its reliance on existing artwork.

The controversial AI trailer segment was part of a documentary about late actor Christopher Reeve but has since been removed from the French channel's website.

Gunn recently expressed his disgust at a fan-made AI-generated Superman trailer that aired on French television, reacting with vomit emojis on social media.
