James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has publicly addressed a campaign by a small but vocal group of Zack Snyder fans who are reportedly attempting to sabotage his upcoming Superman film.
On the social media platform Threads, Gunn responded to the situation by stating he is aware of this "rabid handful" of fans but refuses to block them. His reasoning is that blocking them would give them the attention they crave and would prevent him from seeing and reporting their posts if they cross the line into harassment.
Gunn dismissed their efforts to "derail" the movie as futile, expressing confidence that their actions will not affect the film's production or ultimate success. He made a clear distinction between this small, toxic group and the vast majority of Zack Snyder's fans, whom he believes are positive.
The article notes that the goal of this antagonistic fan campaign is to pressure Warner Bros. Discovery into selling the rights to the "SnyderVerse" to a company like Netflix, which would allow Zack Snyder to complete his original five-movie story arc.
Ultimately, Gunn lamented the constant infighting within the DC fandom, calling it "the saddest thing," and emphasized that his priority is to focus on making a great movie for all fans.
