James Gunn and Superman: “A conspiracy theory that makes no sense”
While he works hard on his Superman (ex-Superman Legacy), in cinemas from July 2025 and first act of the new DC Universe, James Gunn he found himself dealing with a strange one DC fan conspiracy theoryvery protective towards Henry Cavillousted from the role of Clark Kent to make room for the reboot with David Corenswet. It all started when Nathan Fillionwho he will play in the new film Guy Gardnerstated that Gunn already had them announced in 2021 who would have had the part, during the premiere of The Suicide Squad – Suicide Missionwhere Fillion was TDK Theoretically, it hadn’t even been decided in 2021 that the DC Extended Universe would be shut downnor that they would be born i new DC Studios managed by Peter Safran and Gunn. On top of that, James had yet to complete his work at Marvel Studios with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Something didn’t add up: did Gunn already know what was going to happen? That Henry Cavillalthough present in Black Adam, didn’t he have reason to hope he was still Superman? Gunn had to clarify some things about Threads, but not without giving away a hint of exasperation faced with a pillory that is as rapid as it is not very thoughtful…
Nathan actually remembered the party at premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 [quindi a metà del 2023, dopo gli annunci riguardanti i DC Studios e il reboot di Superman, ndr]. But me myself I don’t understand how the argument goes. Except I had no interest in running DC until Peter decided to run it with me, to take care of the practical management and leave the creative to me, when they hired me to write Superman it was already intended and presented as a new Superman storyTherefore why would I have to lie, saying that at the premiere of Squad I wasn’t already planning it, if in the end nothing would have changed? Which would it be the sense of this specific conspiracy theory?
