James Gunn recently joined in on the fun after Sabrina Carpenter’s stunning Wonder Woman costume went viral. The look caught attention for all the right — and a few hilarious — reasons. The DC Studios co-CEO couldn’t resist responding when Variety accidentally mislabeled the singer’s costume as “Superwoman.”
During her Short n’ Spooky Halloween concert at Madison Square Garden, Sabrina Carpenter captivated fans with a comic-accurate Wonder Woman costume inspired by Lynda Carter’s 1970s TV outfit and the Bronze Age comic design. Her look was so authentic that it could easily pass for a big-screen version of the Amazonian hero. Additionally, one of her backup dancers even appeared dressed as Storm, making the performance a treat for both DC and Marvel fans alike.
Variety’s Post Sparks a Funny Mix-Up
The fun began when Variety shared a clip of Carpenter performing “Manchild,” captioning it:
“[Sabrina Carpenter] sings ‘Manchild’ while dressed as Superwoman in NYC.”
Shortly after, James Gunn humorously commented,
“‘Superwoman’?!”
Quickly setting the record straight in his signature playful style. His witty response made fans laugh, with many praising Gunn for his humor and down-to-earth personality.
