Superman is one of the biggest priorities (if not the biggest overall) for the new DC Studios, according to James Gunn.
New DC Studios head, writer and director James Gunn, recently stated that Superman is still a major priority going forward. Following WarnerMedia and Discover, Inc.'s merger in April, DC Films underwent a major restructuring resulting in the cancelation of several major projects including the nearly completed Batgirl film, which would have seen Michael Keaton return as Batman.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Gunn recently took to social media to assure his followers that DC Studios still sees Superman as a major priority going forward. Following Henry Cavill's surprise cameo as Superman in a Black Adam post-credits scene, Man of Steel 2 was announced as in development. However, it was later revealed that the film was never greenlit following a rejected pitch.
Gunn and Safran face an enormous challenge as they attempt to rebrand the DCU into a more cohesive shared universe akin to what Kevin Feige had done with Marvel Studios and the MCU. Recasting Superman would likely draw swift backlash from fans due to the actor's immense popularity, as seen with Cavill's controversial exit from Netflix's The Witcher series.
With The Flash film set to land in theaters on June 16, 2023, the DCU has an opportunity to reboot the main continuity of the shared universe. Speculation is high for the upcoming film, with many believing that the movie would use the Flashpoint comic book arc as its premise. This would allow the franchise to reset its storylines but still retain its prominent actors, including Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, and Cavill.
