Creative Team
In December, a preview party for the trailer took place in New York City. The event was hosted by DCU co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. Director Craig Gillespie discussed the film’s anti-hero theme, noting that Kara carries significant emotional baggage, contrasting with the more straightforward heroic path of Superman.
