WB’s Toby Emmerich Wanted To Replace Henry Cavill As Superman In 2018, & More From Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Black Adam’ Bust

James Gunn and Peter Safran are leading the new era of the DC Universe that has already created a lot of noise. The Guardians of the Galaxy director has been known to have a close-knit relationship with the actors he works with and some fans are hoping he doesn’t bring Marvel actors into the new DC films.

“I love [James] Gunn and so there’s gonna be some really cool things, what they’re doing with DC and I definitely will be in more than just one,” said Jason Momoa today at the Sundance Film Festival of his DC universe future.

While fans are definitely excited by the return of the core members of the Guardians in the upcoming film, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” there’s this tendency for people to be more jazzed about the introduction of new Marvel characters, particularly those with huge lore implications.

New DC Co-Boss James Gunn in debunk fashion took the air out of fanboy reports that Euphoria‘s Jacob Elordi is rumored to play Superman in the filmmaker’s early-days iteration of the Man of Steel.

EXCLUSIVE: Oscar nominees Maria Bakalova (Bodies Bodies Bodies) and David Strathairn (Nomadland) will topline O Horizon — the second narrative feature from Emmy winner Madeleine Sackler (O.G.), which wrapped production last fall. 

Earlier this week, a piece in Variety had some insider info about Dwayne Johnson‘s rejected plans for the future of the DCU. Not long after the Warner Bros.

Often, people (myself included) like to lump in all of the former wrestlers who have become actors into one category. It’s easy to write them off as muscly meatheads who star in terrible action films and give cringey performances.

As James Gunn and Peter Safran build a new path forward for DC Studios, they leave lots of upheaval in their wake.  Patty Jenkins‘ “Wonder Woman 3“? No more.  Henry Cavill? No longer Superman. A sequel to “Black Adam“? Not gonna happen, and Dwayne Johnson‘s tenure as the superhero is likely over, too.

Henry Cavill announced his exit from The Witcher earlier this year when he confirmed his return as Superman on Black Adam, which ultimately ended up not panning out as new DC heads restructure the universe. However, Season 3 of the Netflix series has already been shot and showrunner Lauren Hissrich is teasing the upcoming season.

Shazam! star Zachary Levi is coming to the defense of new DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. Both came under fire recently after it was revealed that Gunn is penning a new Superman movie and that Henry Cavill won’t be returning as the Man of Steel, as well as other DC changes.

A change of plans. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shared “a long-awaited Black Adam update regarding the character’s future in the DC Universe” just two months after his first film hit theaters — and it’s not exactly good news.

Yesterday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson decided to post an update about the “Black Adam” franchise. Keep in mind, the previous update was about how the film was profitable and things were looking good for the film, financially.

We all knew changes were afoot, and new studio chief James Gunn revealed today that more DC Studios announcements would arrive in January, but today, there’s been one more casualty added to the old Water Hamada-led DCEU. “Black Adam 2” will not be moving forward.

Dwayne Johnson has taken to social to make it official that he’s heard from DC Studios co-head James Gunn and Black Adam won’t be a part of the first phase of DC’s new plans. “However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”
