This year, the lines between music and Hollywood blurred like a catchy tune in a blockbuster trailer. With musicians swapping red carpet for movie premieres and sprinkling a little Tinseltown magic into award season, fans are no longer just streaming their hits but waiting for their big screen debuts, sometimes the narrative flowing the other way round. But just when James Gunn left fans wondering if Kendrick Lamar’s ‘GNX’ bumped the Superman trailer, he swooped in with a hilarious clarification, leaving everyone laughing harder than a rom-com punchline.

A user, Officer Martinez, recently turned to X, claiming that James Gunn’s Superman trailer was delayed because of Kendrick Lamar’s latest surprise release, ‘GNX.’ The report also quoted a supposed line, “I was working on the final edit, and then I got distracted,” making fans nearly believe it until Gunn came to save the day with a hilarious clarification. Re-posting the false update on X, Gunn captioned the post sarcastically, “I see less true things here every day.”
