Their first release, ‘Superman’ of 2025, earned USD 618 million worldwide, a strong-enough start for the two. Gunn, who worked as a screenwriter on ‘Supergirl’, offered the directing duties to Gillespie, the producer of the films ‘I, Tonya’ and ‘Cruella’.But the film directed by Millie Alcock was panned by critics and moviegoers. The film is said to have been improved after screening, Gillespie’s film received negative reviews (56% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and a “B-” CinemaScore from audiences. In the film, she plays Supergirl, or Lara Zor-El, Superman’s younger cousin who is more of a party girl than a world savior.The poor opening weekend for ‘Supergirl’ puts it behind DC blockbusters such as ‘The Flash’ (USD 55 million in 2023) and ‘The Green Lantern’ (USD 53 million in 2011), and ahead of ‘Joker: Folie a Deux’ (USD 37.7 million in 2020).

The sequel to Gunn’s ‘Superman’, ‘Man of Tomorrow’, is currently in production. Updated on July 2027.
