Supergirl's Behind-The-Scenes Drama Led to DC's Own Cut

Supergirl, the second film in James Gunn's DC Universe, faced behind-the-scenes creative conflicts between director Craig Gillespie and DC Studios, leading to test screenings of two different film cuts. According to The Hollywood Reporter, DC ultimately took control of post-production and made its own version of the film, resulting in changes such as the climactic battle and music choices. The studio's cut performed slightly better in test screenings and is the version released in theaters. Despite the film's mixed reception, the DCU remains on track for future projects, including a horror movie and a Superman sequel.
