Gunn and his DC Studios co-chair and co-CEO Peter Safran recently met with Cavill to share the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>, and to discuss ideas for potentially collaborating in the future on something else, perhaps a different role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    At this stage, Gunn is merely writing the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>, though he could potentially direct depending on where his services are needed at DC Studios, according to insiders. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cPeter &amp; I have a DC slate ready to go, which we couldn\u2019t be more over-the-moon about; we\u2019ll be able to share some exciting information about our first projects at the beginning of the new year,\u201d Gunn <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesGunn\/status\/1603205518113140737\">wrote on Twitter<\/a> Wednesday. \u201cAmong those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman\u2019s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill. But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we\u2019re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Though this Superman will be on the younger side, he won\u2019t be living in Smallville but rather will be <em>Daily Planet<\/em> reporter Clark Kent, according to insiders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The news may be a surprise to fans who expected Cavill to return as Superman in the near future. Cavill appeared in a post-credits sequence in <em>Black Adam<\/em>, released in October, and the Monday after the film opened, posted a message on Instagram announcing he was back as Superman. According to sources, that Instagram message was sanctioned by Warners brass, before Gunn and Safran were hired, thus the change in plans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cavill, who announced his departure from the Netflix <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> <em>The Witcher<\/em> following his return as Superman, reflected on the change in an Instagram post, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CmK7eLWJ0as\/?hl=en\">writing<\/a>, \u201cI will, after all, not be returning as Superman. After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to [Gunn and Safran\u2019s] hire, this news isn\u2019t the easiest, but that\u2019s life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Over his near decade since first playing Superman, Cavill has become a fan favorite actor, first appearing in 2013\u2019s <em>Man of Steel<\/em>, and reprising the role in <em>Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice <\/em>(2016) and <em>Justice League<\/em> (2017).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Since assuming their new roles on Nov. 1, Gunn and Safran have been taking meetings with other key players in the DC universe. In addition to Cavill, they recently met with Batman actor Ben Affleck to discuss the possibility of him directing for them in the future, according to sources familiar with the conversation. No deal is in place for him to helm a DC feature at this stage. They also had conversations with filmmaker Patty Jenkins, who no longer will be moving forward with a third <em>Wonder Woman <\/em>film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Warners has also been developing a Black superman film written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J.J. Abrams, and Gunn\u2019s new movie is said to not have an impact on that project, with Coates still working on the script.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Warners has long wanted Gunn to tackle a Superman movie. In 2018, after Gunn departed Marvel Studios for DC when he was temporarily fired from <em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em>, then-Warners studio boss Toby Emmerich <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/14\/movies\/james-gunn-the-suicide-squad.html\">pushed for Gunn to take on Superman<\/a>. Gunn opted to write and direct <em>The Suicide Squad <\/em>instead. That movie also paved the way for <em>Peacemaker<\/em>, the HBO Max spinoff starring John Cena, and gave Gunn a taste of worldbuilding in the DC universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Still, Superman has long been a favorite of Gunn, who has been thinking about this new movie since his early days at DC four years ago. Over the weekend, Gunn marked the anniversary of the 1978 film by Richard Donner, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesGunn\/status\/1601620091358961664\">sharing the poster<\/a> and reminiscing about seeing it in theaters in Missouri as a child. Wrote the filmmaker and exec: \u201cI loved it and it rivaled Star Wars for me. And the score blew my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
