DC Studios co-chairman and director James Gunn, known for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" series, has expressed his fandom for South Korean director Na Hong-jin.

On August 10, Gunn posted a group photo taken inside a screening room on his social media, writing, "A huge thank you to director Na Hong-jin and everyone who set up a screening of HOPE this weekend. I’ve been a fan of Na’s work all the way back through The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, and The Wailing. As a massive fan of The Yellow Sea, which is one of my favorite movies ever, it was an absolute thrill to be able to watch his new and brilliant film HOPE at my hometown's only cinema, @gtctrilithcinemas, alongside the cast and crew of Man of Tomorrow. And @hoooooyeony (Jung Ho-yeon) was so freaking good!!"

The photo shared by Gunn was taken inside the theater where "HOPE" was screened. On this day, Gunn watched "HOPE" together with about 30 cast and crew members of "Man of Tomorrow," the upcoming sequel to "Superman." He showed deep affection and admiration by detailing Na Hong-jin's filmography and showered praise on the new film "HOPE," calling it a "new and brilliant film." He also singled out actor Jung Ho-yeon, expressing that she was "so freaking good."

Director Na Hong-jin left a comment on the post saying, "Thank you, Mr. Gunn," expressing his gratitude. He also reposted the message on his own social media.

"HOPE" is director Na Hong-jin's fourth feature film, which was released in South Korea on July 15 and drew 4.4 million moviegoers nationwide. Having entered the final stages of its domestic theatrical run, "HOPE" is now set to roll out its international releases sequentially.

In North America, the film is scheduled to open on September 9. Its North American distributor is NEON, the company famous for "Parasite." Rather than a limited release just for the sake of premiering, the film is planned for a wide release across approximately 2,000 theaters throughout North America.
