Responding on social media, the director downplayed the impact of the campaign while reaffirming confidence in the film\u2019s success and support from broader DC fans.<\/p>\n<p>James Gunn is sure Superman will survive SnyderVerse fans\u2019 attempt to sabotage sales<\/p>\n<p>James Gunn addressed a viral Reddit post where some SnyderVerse supporters urged people to sabotage\u00a0Superman\u00a0through review bombing, spoilers, and fake ticket reservations. Moderators later removed the post from r\/SnyderCut. Gunn responded on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\/post\/DK8PCE7SLDX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>, stating, \u201clol I think we\u2019ll survive. I\u2019m not sure the eight people that listen to that guy\u2026 are going to impact the course of events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed sabotage followed backlash from some Snyder fans over the rebooted DC Universe. Gunn took over the franchise following Warner Bros.\u2019 decision to move away from Zack Snyder\u2019s vision. In response to the sabotage post, one user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@haydendbarton\/post\/DK8V654sIPh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clarified<\/a>, \u201cImportant to be aware this post was shut down from the mods of that sub immediately,\u201d referring to its removal due to policy violations.<\/p>\n<p>Another fan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@nicktiznado\/post\/DK8T725pHDN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">added<\/a>, \u201cMany Snyder fans including myself don\u2019t support this kind of behavior,\u201d distinguishing mainstream Snyder supporters from the fringe group behind the sabotage call. The post had encouraged fans to \u201cfight for our Snyderverse on the imposter Superman release day.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Despite these actions, ticket sales appear unaffected. A Threads user <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@theflitecast\/post\/DK8QJMntcQV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stated<\/a>, \u201cIf ticket sales at my theater for July 8 are any indicator, then you have nothing to worry about.\u201d Gunn also shared enthusiasm for the upcoming world tour promoting Superman, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.com\/@jamesgunn\/post\/DK8MKJ8ylMW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">joking<\/a>, \u201cEverything but balut!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film features David Corenswet as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Additional cast members include Edi Gathegi, Isabela Merced, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, and Milly Alcock.
