As the reporter expressed his wish to see an Indian actor appear in a DC movie, Gunn immediately agreed with him. He said, “I would love to see an Indian actor, but I would also love to have Indian filmmaking collaborators. We, at DC studios, think that there are heroes all over this world that we could focus on, and filmmakers from all over the world that can tell their stories within the DC universe.”

James Gunn also revealed that it was important to get eager Indian filmmakers on board to introduce an Indian superhero in the DCU. He added, “We’ve already got things started in Korea, Japan, and Brazil. So, it would be great to collaborate with some Indians,”

The Superman director further shared his love for Bollywood films by stating, “Bollywood films and the eastern cinema in general are the most important thing to me when I’m telling stories. The thing that those films give to me is that they aren’t afraid of making a movie that has heart, that has drama, but that’s also funny, there’s music, and all of those things are beautiful.”
