The rumors about the Superman villain have forcefully returned to the center of social attention in recent hours, after a heated exchange between the director James Gunn and the famous insider My time to shine hello.
The scooper, among the most reliable in the sector, had definitively confirmed with his sources in recent days that Superman’s true villain would have been Ultraman, a clone of Superman created by Lex Luthor in the story and always played by David Corenswet, called to take on the role of both Clark Kent and his doppleganger in the DCU film. However, James Gunn, through a post on the Threads platform, denied – or tried to deny – declaring: “The main protagonist of Superman is, surprisingly, Superman. Superman’s main villain is, surprisingly, Lex Luthor. I don’t know where all this stuff comes from that tries to argue that things aren’t like that. There are so many stories that come out every day and it’s difficult to comment on them every time I catch someone’s attention. So, I repeat, don’t believe anything unless it comes from me (and by the way, Why would you want to know everything about the movie before seeing it?)“.
Especially the last sentence seems like a sort of run for cover for James Gunn, and in fact many fans have noticed that the director did not exactly deny the presence of Ultraman as a villain within the film, simply pointing out that Lex will be the main villain. A few moments later, not surprisingly, My time to shine counter-attacked, even tagging James Gunn in his post and ‘challenging’ him to deny his version of events: “Interesting, but I wouldn’t say he’s definitively ruling it out given the way he phrased his response. Let’s ask him directly if Ultraman is there or not, what do you think James Gunn? He may not be the main villain, but he’s still someone Superman will have to face. Ultraman is definitely in the movie, I just saw the visual proof. Gunn doesn’t make a very good impression here with all these lies…“
