Superman Saving a Squirrel Was Cut Out of the Movie, but James Gunn Put It Back In
In an interview with Rolling Stone, DC Studios president and Superman director James Gunn revealed that a scene where Superman saves a squirrel was initially cut from the movie due to controversy. However, Gunn decided to put it back in, citing concerns over the film’s pacing and continuity.
The scene, which has been met with both admiration and criticism, shows Superman taking a brief break from saving the city from certain destruction to rescue a single squirrel caught in a tree. While some might find it an extraneous moment, others appreciate the subtle nod to the character’s well-established love for animals.
Gunn explained that he restored the scene due to concerns over the film’s editing and pacing. “In addition, there were also some geographic problems with where he ended up if I didnât have him fly over with the squirrel,” Gunn said. This underscores the importance of maintaining consistency within a narrative, even in the face of controversy.
Ultimately, the decision to put the squirrel back in demonstrates Gunn’s dedication to staying true to Superman’s character while still prioritizing artistic integrity.
