"Superman" Director James Gunn Dropped A Major "Guardians Of The Galaxy" Cameo Detail And We Are Screaming

WARNING: This article contains BIG spoilers for Superman. Proceed with caution. 

It's no secret that superhero films are coming back bigger and better than ever and James Gunn's Superman — starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult — is no exception.

James is ushering in a new era of DC's comic-to-screen adaptations and the previews, trailers and marketing are already looking promising. Yes, Clark Kent still wears glasses as a disguise and don't worry, there's still a Lois Lane. But, it's a fresh new take on the Superman we know and love. Check out the trailer: 

This isn't the first time James has taken a swing at the big world of superheroes. Before taking a seat as co-CEO of DC Studios, he directed and wrote the enormously successful Guardians of the Galaxy franchise under Marvel — and the fans don't let him forget it!

In the lead up to Superman's release in theatres on July 10, fans have been curious about a possible GOTG influence on the upcoming flick. 

Prior to sitting down with press in the Philippines, the Suicide Squad director dropped hints via replies on Threads that some of the Guardians cast were placed as "Easter eggs" and everyday we've been wondering... WHO COULD IT BE?

Hold onto your capes! In an exclusive interview with BuzzFeed Australia, the Suicide Squad director revealed a DC and Marvel character crossover, that made us audibly gasp.

From the short Superman preview screening, we've already spotted the voice of Rocket Racoon — Bradley Cooper — but James let us in on a few more cameo secrets.

"I will give you something that nobody knows, but Pom Klementieff is one of the robots. It's Bradley and then it's also Pom and Michael Rooker is another one of the robots," he shared. Yes, it was music to our ears.

As for other Guardians castmates, Zoe Saldaña and Dave Bautista, James mentioned "keeping them in the wings" — perhaps for another world-stopping reveal just like this!

Not only is the future of DC looking incredibly bright — the slate is looking packed for the next year or two. "We're going to be able to find out the future very quickly after this," the Superman director teased.
