Gunn 'protective' over Superman's dialogue, Supergirl writer says

Supergirl writer Ana Noguiera has revealed that DCU co-president James Gunn got involved with Superman's appearance in the new DC movie. "He is protective of Superman," Noguiera confirmed, when asked by Brandon Davis if that was the case. "There is like a couple things in other moments where he was like, 'He wouldn't say that to her.' And I was like, 'Okay cool.' But, mostly we had the same idea." It makes sense that Gunn would be protective over Kal-El, since he wrote and directed the 2025 film that launched the theatrical side of the DCU.

Superman appears briefly in Supergirl, and he'll next be seen in 2027's Man of Tomorrow. In that film, he'll be forced to team up with his nemesis Lex Luthor in a battle against Braniac. Supergirl is also set to appear in Man of Tomorrow, and, by the sounds of things, she might be at odds with her cousin Superman.

"I do think that this Supergirl is apart because she's not so much like Superman.
