Gunn, through Twitter, revealed this tidbit in March 2023, saying his brother Matt was moved to tears upon discovering the coincidence. Touching upon his father’s significance, Gunn confessed, "He didn’t quite get me as a kid, yet he backed my penchant for comics and film. His support set me on this path of crafting this movie."

Peeling back the curtain on the filmmaking process, Gunn described his cautious approach to directing a project of this scale, and the procrastination that eventually led to him helming it. Revealing that he stumbled across a creative spark related to Superman’s heritage, he made his commitment.

"But eventually, I fell headlong into the script and now eagerly await our collective journey. #UpUpandAway!" Gunn ended the heartfelt post.
