So all told, yes, Brightburn's ending does tease the potential for an exciting superhero universe, and yes, that line of thinking was clearly on the filmmakers' minds during production, but don't expect to know the details of what that universe might look like until we see the trailer for it. Yarovesky's plan was always to debut Brightburn with a high-concept trailer that spoke for itself (namechecking Cloverfield as an inspiration on that front,) " If we were to expand the Brightburn universe in other installments and in other ways, we would probably be doing it in the exact same way," he continued, "in total secrecy and then drop a cinematic trailer at some point that kind of teaches you what that new direction may be." So secret, in fact, that he got married a few days after they wrapped filming and only a handful of people at his wedding even knew he was making the film at all. The broadcast also has a picture of a figure resembling Crimson Bolt, the non-superpowered "hero" played by Rainn Wilson in Super, the 2010 dark comedy directed by Brightburn producer James Gunn.Īsked about whether they wanted to dip into a bigger shared universe, Yarovesky deflected the question, talking about the extreme secrecy under which Brightburn was created. But he doesn't stop there, he also decries a half-man/half-sea creature terrorizing the seas and a powerful witch who chokes her victims with a rope that compels them to the tell the truth - clear references to Aquaman and Wonder Woman. The answer was The Big T, a conspiracy theorist played by Michael Rooker, who pops up in the credits ranting about the supervillain wreaking havoc on Brightburn, Kansas. When 13-year old Brandon Breyer starts to show superhuman abilities his parents reveal that they rescued. The best way was to just give a picture of the future and be a little more vague." Produced by James Gunn, Brightburn is a frightening supernatural thriller. "How much do we want to show of the next steps? Through what lens do we want to learn it? There were all sorts of ways in.
"The moment with Elizabeth was basically always in it, but everything that followed changed a thousand times," Yarovsky explained about writing the ending.
That's when Brightburn really tips its hat to the possibilities of the future and the potential for a growing universe.
