Though the feature article moving-picture show willfeature a number of conversant DCU faces beyond Clark , Lois , and Lex , Gunn make it clear thatSupermanabides by the philosophy he and Gunn have for DC Studios — it ’s about the story first and foremost .   " It ’s really about this . Now , are seeds being planted ? Yes , there ’s seed being plant , but that is never going to be the predominant affair in any conniption for me . It ’s always about getting to the next shot . What ’s in the bit ? How are we making this flick the best we can be ? And it ’s going to stay like that as much as I can possibly make it like that,“Gunn shared . In terms of how that applies specifically to The Man of Steel ’s forthcoming cinematic adventure , Gunn does n’t soften word of honor .

" Zero . Zero , " Gunn shared when asked how much of Superman is spent setting up the rest of the New DCU . " I mean , peradventure two petty thing , two moment , but basically , if something ’s there just to lay up something else , fuck it . I even say that . And for all I eff , those thing can be cut by the sentence we get to the editing way because something has to be for this movie . And if that works in tandem bicycle with setting up quality that exist in other media , then that ’s great . If this sets up stuff in ' Peacemaker , ' which it does , then that ’s great , " the author / director added . " But that is never , ever , ever , with me , going to be something that ’s , I ’m go to sacrifice even a second or a beat in a story for , especially a movie . With TV , you ’ve got a piffling spot more leniency to be capable to do that . But in a movie , every beat has to be in there for the movie itself . "

In price of the other DCU quality we will be getting a opportunity to meet – likeIsabela Merced ’s Hawkgirl , Edi Gathegi ’s Mister Terrific , andNathan Fillion ’s Green Lantern Guy Gardner – Gunn share what blend into decided which reference would work best for the overall narrative – and giving a exceptional shout - out to Gathegi ’s Mister Terrific . " I imagine it was just who I wanted to really , honestly . I love Mr. Terrific . These role all get their moment in the Dominicus . They all have their second . They ’re not just cameos ; these are the characters . They ’re support cast , but Mr. Terrific is the main character of those fiber . He actually has a heavy part of the plot . And so that was fun . And , of course , get to work with Nathan [ Fillion ] is always something , and putting him in a dazed look and then Isabela [ Merced ] is great . I ’ve been a fan of hers for a long metre . But it was about rest , " Gunn explained .
