He wrote, ‘And that’s a wrap. God bless our cast and crew whose commitment, creativity, and hard work have brought this project to life. I set out to make a movie about a good man in a world that isn’t always so much. And the goodness and kindness and love I’ve encountered on a daily basis on the set has inspired me and thrust me forward when I felt too spent to move on my own,’ reports Variety.
He continued, ‘Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. It has been an honour. The destination has been Superman, but the journey has been the toil and the laughter and the emotions and ideas and magic we’ve shared together on set – and for that I am forever grateful.’
As per Variety, his ‘Superman’ movie will kick off the rebooted DC Universe under the supervision of him and his DC Studios co-boss Peter Safran.
