'Superman's International Box Office Failure Justified by James Gunn Because "Superman Is Not a Big Known Superhero"

Superman might be kicking up a storm at the US box office, but the DCU's first film is sitting in its own Fortress of Solitude at the international market. James Gunn wrote and directed the new movie, which stars David Corenswet as the titular Man of Steel. Superman was released in theaters on July 10, and quickly smashed domestic box office records. But, despite Superman himself being a symbol of peace and hope for the world, international audiences haven't cared as much about the Man of Steel. There are many potential reasons why the film has fallen short internationally, and James Gunn recently chimed in with one unusual justification for Superman's box office failure overseas.
