There are two things that movie fans hate. One is using a smartphone during a screening. The other is having spoilers about a film they haven't seen yet. The problem of protecting against spoilers is gradually becoming more difficult. No matter how many conscientious fans refrain from doing so, or even if you try to avoid encountering them yourself, they can suddenly jump out at you in thumbnails on social media or video sites. In particular, paparazzi photos of the filming scene can be leaked by overseas accounts and media. You may remember the case where Andrew Garfield's appearance in the film was spread before the release of "Spider-Man: No Way Home".
Even in "Superman," which is the first film in the new DC Universe and is highly important, paparazzi captured David Corenswet wearing the Superman suit on set and leaked it to social media. As these "spoiler" problems continue, director James Gunn has his own theory. "In reality, does it really constitute a spoiler if someone takes a photo of something and shares it beforehand?" he asks. Gunn is fundamentally against spoilers. "I don't think spoilers are bad. I don't like people spoiling things for me," he says, but he also claims that spoilers "don't necessarily ruin the fun of watching a movie."
"For example, if you were to watch The Sixth Sense and you found out that a certain character was actually dead...oh, he's dead, that's a spoiler, sorry. In that case, I think it would ruin the fun. But generally speaking, does this really ruin the fun of a movie?" It has been said that young people who want to have a "typer" tend to find out the ending of a movie beforehand, and then decide whether they should watch it after judging whether it will be an interesting experience. In this way, the extent to which spoilers ruin the fun of a movie depends on each individual's values, but unless it is done voluntarily, it is generally considered bad manners and should be refrained from.
If we take Gunn's words to heart, he probably means that even if you see something on the internet that seems to be a spoiler for Superman, you should be able to have a better viewing experience in the film, so please feel free to go to the theater. That doesn't mean Gunn is giving permission to spread spoilers about the film. The film will be released in the summer of 2025, so let's continue to watch it in moderation.
