The director of the next Superman movie talks about why he accepted the job at DC Studios.
Ever since it was announced that James Gunn and Peter Safran will be the new directors of DC Studios, there have been rivers of color. Although the two men have a very active and important role, most of the attention has fallen on Gunn, perhaps because of his great activity on social networks and will be the director of the next Superman movie, a new reboot of the DC universe. In the cinema.
One of the most talked about topics about the next Man of Steel movie is that it will be a reboot of the character with the arrival of a new actor who will play him. This created a lot of excitement because his predecessor, Henry Cavill, was loved by fans. Some have gone so far as to say that there is a conspiracy to keep the actor who plays the revue’s Geralt from continuing to play the hero on the big screen.
These people went so far as to say that the uproar over Cavill’s Man of Steel cameo was caused by Gunn’s refusal to work with British actors, even though it was proven that it was caused by decisions outside of Gunn’s control. and saffron. Recently, Gunu wanted to deny that his intention was to take Cavill and take over the DCU in response to a question from a fan on Threads. A fan asked him about this theory and he always planned to reboot DC and the Superman character when he was hired to lead Suicide Squad.
I don’t quite understand how that fits. Until Peter decided to run DC with me, I had no interest in running DC so that I could handle the executive stuff and focus on the creative side. It was always intended and brought up when I was hired to write Superman. A new Superman story, so why not plan that at the Squadron premiere? Will it be the same thing at the end of the day? What does this particular conspiracy theory mean?
With all of this, Gunn wants to make it clear that, at any point, the Iron Man reboot was a bigger plan than him. Although Peter Safran did not participate, he also made it clear that he would not accept the job.
The next Superman movie will be released on July 11, 2025.
