Warner Bros/ DC Studios ‘ Superman after a $56.5M first day/previews is now looking at $115M-$121M opening.

This means that future DCU movies and series don’t need to only move the story forward. They can also take things back in time. A period story about a metahuman from 100, 200, or 300 years ago is perfectly acceptable. This opens up possibilities for different sorts of stories in a way that the MCU has largely had to rely on the multiverse to tell.

Superman is often called upon to save the world from evildoers, but in his latest big-screen incarnation, he's also being asked to swoop in and save a franchise.

The scenes featured don't exactly tease anything or set up future DC projects, and that's how writer/director/studio head James Gunn wants it.

Gunn has shrugged off the high stakes surrounding the movie's box office success.
