“#Cleveland – today we are leaving you after six amazing weeks of shooting,” Gunn wrote in the caption. “From the moment we first came here on a scout a tad less than a year ago and Terminal Tower was lit up with the colors of Superman, I knew you were a special place. I would walk down your streets and someone would stop me and tell me how grateful they were we were shooting in their city – not once, not twice, but dozens of times.”

Gunn shared a few photos of the cast and crew, including David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and others out to dinner. On Threads, one user asked if Superman has completed filming, to which Gunn explained how much time remains on the shoot.

“We are not done shooting. Still a couple weeks left. Just done shooting in Cleveland. And yeah it’s a long shoot… but we’re getting close!!” Gunn wrote on Threads.

Suicide Squad director David Ayer defends his support of James Gunn’s Superman
David Ayer directs Margot Robbie on the set of Suicide Squad.

DC Extended Universe auteur Zack Snyder may have gotten the chance to release his original version of Justice League back in 2021, but a similar opportunity has not yet been extended to Suicide Squad director David Ayer. The filmmaker's 2016 comic book movie was, like Snyder's Justice League, heavily tampered with behind the scenes, and Ayer has remained adamant that the version of Suicide Squad that was theatrically released differs greatly from his original, preferred iteration.

The ongoing wait for a release of his cut of Suicide Squad hasn't stopped Ayer, however, from publicly voicing his support for DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn's Superman. On December 17, Ayer asked fans not to divert any attention away from the release of the first Superman trailer by launching another Suicide Squad campaign in his honor, writing, "I’m excited to see the trailer and have heard through the rumor mill it’s pretty incredible." His tweet was, unfortunately, met with negativity from certain fans, who took issue with the courtesy he was trying to extend to Gunn and, by extension, DC Studios' new DC Universe.

James Gunn calls Creature Commandos episode the saddest thing he’s ever written
james gunn calls creature commandos weasel episode saddest thing ever written sits at the bottom of a staircase in

Creature Commandos has been splitting its time as of late between the past and present. Its recent episodes have both propelled the show's present-day plot forward and also explored the pasts of characters like The Bride (Indira Varma) and G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn), offering new insights into the tragic events that shaped their identities and led them to their current circumstances. Creature Commandos' fourth and most recent episode, Chasing Squirrels, does the same for Weasel (also Sean Gunn), revealing the horrifying reasons the character was incorrectly blamed for the deaths of multiple schoolchildren.

The episode refrains from explaining what Weasel is or how the character came to be, but it doesn't shy away from the gruesome and tragic details of the "crime" that turned him into a full-blown monster in society's eyes. In an interview with Variety, Creature Commandos creator and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn reflected on the episode, which is emotionally and narratively dark, even by the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 filmmaker's standards.
