James Gunn assures DC fans that he hasn't forgotten about the ManOfSteel: 'Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority.' But the big question remains--is Henry Cavill still the DCU's Superman? Should he be? 🤔
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 that resulted 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 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 has done with Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recasting Superman would likely draw swift backlash due to the actor's immense popularity, as seen with Cavill's controversial departure from Netflix's The Witcher series.
With The Flash film set to land in theaters 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, to include Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, and Cavill.
