James Gunn is answering fan questions on Twitter and giving hints about Superman and Batman as he and Peter Safran take control of the DC Universe.
Henry Cavill Was ‘Dicked Around by a Lot of People,’ James Gunn Says of Superman Actor’s DC Limbo
31.01.2023 - 20:07 / thewrap.com
DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn spoke about former Superman actor Henry Cavill’s exit as the Man of Steel at the DCU presentation on the Warners lot on Monday, clarifying that he and co-CEO Peter Safran didn’t fire Cavill and adding that the “Man of Steel” actor was unfortunately “dicked around by a lot of people.”Cavill delighted fans in last year when he made a surprise appearance as Superman in “Black Adam,” then revealed soon after that he was fully ready to once again don the red cape for DC Studios and Warner Bros. Discovery. And for a short while, his return seemed like a sure thing.Post-“Black Adam,” Cavill promised future appearances as the last son of Krypton while Dwayne Johnson publicly touted his own vision for Black Adam and Superman in the DC Universe.
But when Gunn and Safran were installed as co-CEOs to create and spearhead a new vision for the future of the DCU, they were put in an awkward position having never planned to bring Cavill back as Superman in the first place.“I like Henry. He’s a great guy,” Gunn said to TheWrap and a small group of reporters at the DCU presentation. “I think he’s gotten dicked around by a lot of people, including former regimes at this company.
But this Superman’s not Henry for a number of reasons.”Gunn is writing an all-new “Superman: Legacy ” script for Warner Bros. Discovery, which will introduce a new Superman to the DCU. Cavill is no longer attached to the role after meeting with new DC Studios chiefs Gunn and Peter Safran late last year.“To me, first of all, we didn’t fire Henry,” Gunn said.
“Henry was never cast. Henry was in a cameo and that was the end of his story. A lot of people made assumptions out of that that weren’t necessarily true.

Phase 5 of the MCU is about to kick off with “Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania,” but not long after that comes “Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3.” While the Guardians had supporting roles in Taika Waititi‘s “Thor: Love And Thunder,” and turned up recently in “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special,” this final edition of the franchise—at least the final installment for writer/director James Gunn—promises to be a big epic finale which will reunite the Guardians with Zoe Saldaña as Gamora, who’s been missing in action since “Avengers: Endgame.” James Gunn’s tweets about it promise a story he “has been cooking up for years,” and in the past, he’s described it as “so big and dark.” READ MORE: James Gunn Calls ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.
