SINGAPORE – When DC Studios’ rebooted Superman movie opens in Singapore on July 10, tech consultant Gaurav Patel will be one of the DC Comics superhero’s many loyal fans heading to the nearest cinema.
“I do trust (American) director James Gunn, and (American actor) David Corenswet looks perfect as Clark Kent. But I’m waiting for the movie to see their full take on Superman,” says the 43-year-old Indian citizen who has been living in Singapore since 2009. He has been an avid fan of the Man of Steel since he was around five years old.
