Otherwise, Brightburn is just an indie horror film that found a small following but maybe not enough to continue this universe. We’ll see.
It also captured fans’ imaginations that Brightburn took the Superman origin story and gave it a dark twist.
Brightburn got a lot of attention because of Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn, who is a producer of the film, which was written by his brother Brian Gunn and cousin Mark Gunn.
