🦸‍♂️ James Gunn Calls Superman A Square?! 🦸‍♂️ On today’s episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we’re diving into James Gunn’s latest comments about Superman and why he proudly calls the Man of Steel — and star David Corenswet — a "square."

We also break down new behind-the-scenes details about Mr. Terrific, played by Edi Gathegi, and what his expanded role in the upcoming Superman (2025) film could mean for the DC Universe.
