No Major Changes With ‘Superman’ - Cut the Kryptonite Crap

Look, name one blockbuster that hasn’t face planted over something during production. You can’t. From script to silver screen, filmmaking is basically trying to juggle chainsaws while blindfolded. Stuff goes wrong. Always.

So why is every hiccup on James Gunn’s Superman treated like the world’s about to end? Easy: a loud corner of the fandom is rooting for crash and burn.

They’re still mad WB shelved their beloved Snyder timeline back in 2017 (those execs are long gone, by the way).

For them, Gunn’s movie failing would be the ultimate “told-ya-so.” Kind of gross, but here we are.

Cue the rumor mills…

Blogs swearing by “inside sources,”

YouTubers milking “exclusive scoops,”

and the usual Twitter (X) theatrics.

Trouble is, the legit trades? Silent. No Variety, no THR, no Deadline backing up the claims. When real reporters don’t bite, it’s usually smoke, not fire.

I pinged my own go to contact after that ridiculous article dropped from a very unreliable site on 5/27/25. Their verdict? Nothing catastrophic.

Normal bumps, some pick-ups, editing and re-editing as normal but no “production in chaos” headline here. (See what I heard below)

And guess what? A couple of reliable industry voices on X have publicly shot down the rumor parade too. Until concrete receipts pop up, file this chatter under “wishful thinking” from folks who’d rather see Krypton explode than watch a new DCU take off.
